fusion bay

prawns green mango curry - 9.5/10
aubergine veg curry - 8/10
coconut rice - 9.5/10

prawns green mango curry - this was the best prawn curry i have had so far. the creamy coconut milk gravy with the layers of kerala spices topped with grated mango just creates the explosion of cravingness for more around the prawn subject. a must have from me at this place.
the aubergine (brinjal) curry is deliciously integrated with the local spices. though not out of the world but definitely something you should not miss with local cuisine. the diced vegetable around the thick gravy is not the usual south indian curry. do not miss this if you are a vegetarian.
the coconut rice is amazingly yummy. the over garnished curry leaves with tadka with just right salt makes me drool even now. must have.

this is a very popular place around fort kochi specializing in sea food. small, compact place with a wide range of sea food and other authentic kerala dishes. service is a bit slow as there was only one person serving all tables. i liked their aapam with the kerala style mushroom gravy. some of my friends had the signature fish dish which was incredibly spicy. it would be a real treat for seafood lovers.

my goodness what food! had probably the best korimeen polichattu (spice treated fish wrapped in banana leaf and grilled/ steamed....no kidding!) ever in my life! in general all food veg or non veg is good and justice is done to everything on the menu. the staff is professional and know their stuff. quaint lil place with modest appearance but a must try for mallu food!!

went out looking for authentic seafood places in fort kochi, after a cliched brunch at a cafe no different than ones in bangalore( cocoa tree and loafers corner cafe, truly beautiful places, no doubt). found this one and went for a late lunch, fingers crossed. and couldn't have been more satisfied. homely place, with a simple yet comfortable ambiance and a friendly, well mannered service staff, on their toes to take down orders. the food came perfectly in time, with almost all of it making it together even for a group of 13 people ordering at once. and now for the food:
  
      one of the most beautifully authentic tasting food of any kind of cuisine i have had in a while. i wanted to try something you wouldn't get on other menus, so went for a prawns raw mango curry. best decision of my life. a mild yet delicious flavored dish, with perfectly cooked prawns of a good size, accompanied by the local kerala rice(would recommend this, rather than the basmati rice) ordered separately , it made for a perfect combination. the curry was was split with another friend and yet the quantity was satisfying for a person with a normal appetite. of course, i eat enough for two people so i had to go with another dish. this would be the fish pappas(spicy), as the menu says. and true to its name, this was a fiery hot curry served along with either appam or kerala rice. too continue in the same boat, i chose to go with the rice. and yet again, my mind was blown apart by the sheer beauty of this dish. after the mild yet tasteful prawns raw mango curry, the pappas was an explosion of spice and flavors. the fish was just so gently marinated while the curry gave most of the taste. again, split this one with another friend and yet was a good quantity left for me.

      total bill came up to rs. 420 for me. 

      all the other dishes looked equally enticing, but i couldn't take my taste buds off the ones i ordered. a mild and slightly sour curry followed by a fiery hot one was the best combination i could ask for. i would recommend this combination to anyone with a good appetite and ready to experiment with your tongue ;) never gave a review before by going onto zomato, but this place deserves every word of praise that i can offer. will go here every time i am in or around fort kochi.

third time back to fusion bay and still haven't made much of a dint in the extensive menu full of fascinating seafood dishes (as well as meat, chicken and vegetarian). benny's passion is to preserve traditional kerala recipes from syrian christian homely meals to fusions from historical dutch, portuguese and jewish influences. our favorites have been the pollichathu style (fish with marsalas of spices cooked in a banana leaf) and the curries especially the mappas but also the moilee and green mango curries. the fish has been wonderful but having the generously sized and juicy prawns tonight, they are hard to beat. breads, rice and drinks are well priced and i love their spongey tangy appams to soak up the gravies. today we asked if benny would do a prawns in mango moilee that we'd seen elsewhere which he very kindly did! most dishes are an incredibly reasonable 350-450 rs ($7-9 aus). i think we have run out of time to try the chuttullimeen - shallots roasted and sautéed in pepper and coconut then stuffed in a fish which is cooked in a banana leaf served with rice and aubergine salsa $10aus

the food is exceptional and if you find yourself in fort kochi then make the time to have a meal here. didn't go through the menu but i asked the waiter for a dry spicy prawn, a fish curry, a dry chicken roast and a chicken curry, with rice and appams...each dish was excellent! hope to make it back soon!

this a very popular restaurant in kochi with karala seafood and fusion food their fusion food is very good dutch fish in banana leaf is very tasty and the stir fried dutch celery prawns

if you want have fresh and good seafood go to this restaurant . they are serving very good seafood with mouth watering taste try some of their fish pollichathu and prawns kerala fried with coconut

so went here yesterday on the 22nd..
after reading reviews about their meals and fish polichatu i thought this could be a gem of a shop..
it was easy to find..i got down at the fort kochi ferry..took around 12 mins walk..

i was the only customer in the shop at around 2pm..

they didn't have any meals on the menu as demand in low these days and then i decided to get the karimeen polichatu..again this was not available..due to less demand..

i think i made the right choice by moving to the next place in my list..

do call and ask if you plan to go here..

well this was sugvested by my friend. we walked in with a lot of hesitation but we ordered veg food only it was wow. mushroom curry was amazing along with veg stew . then coconut rice was just wow. dont give a miss to this.

have heard mixed reviews of this place but decided to try it anyway given its proximity to the basilica. the ginger lime soda was refreshing on a hot sunday afternoon. we couldn't decide what to order from the extensive menu! finally settled on beef curry syrian meal and jewish fish curry. both were complete meals in themselves and had large quantity! the beef was the most delicious! it was better than all the 5 stars we had been eating at across kerala and the accompaniments were good too but like you'd find at a good restaurant elsewhere. the fish curry quantity was great. the taste was good too but obviously we couldn't tell how authentic it was. while my husband felt you could get food in kerala for much cheaper, i felt this was a complete value for money! would definitely recommend going here and i also didnt experience any of the negatives i have heard of (no waiting for table and minimal waiting time for food).

one of the best places in fort kochi to have sea food. pretty small​ place though. had a fusion dish. tuna with pepper mint. it was just awesome. service is average. no parking which is one of the cons of this place.

back in 2015, vacationing and strolling around the portuguese settlement and biennale exhibits we were quite hungry and came across reviews for this restaurant on tripadvisor. we were 13 hungry foodies. the homely atmosphere refreshed us for a good start at the menu. we ordered the common dishes not wanting to risk eating much during our travel. in less than an hour we had the entire lot of dishes in the menu on our table! that is how delectable each dish was. from clams to crabs to fish to prawn to chicken to squid, every bite was juicy and dainty. the counting calories never stopped us and a full stomach only made us regret for not being able to eat more :d.
we were so pleased and when the bill was handed we were sure it was the wrong bill. we cross checked over n over again only to be reassured that it was our bill indeed. we felt we were charged for not even half of what we ate!!! you see, we are bangaloreans and chennaites and for cuisine of this standard we would expect to be charged a bomb.
happiest devouring experience ever :) we talked about the food through our journey back home and to this day the restaurant std is a prominent bench mark in our family.

this unassuming spot is a must do for those who love seafood. we tried the coriander polichathu and the green mango prawn curry and all i can say is wow. make sure you eat here. bring cash they don't accept cards.

i opted for fusion bay because of only one reason...it was just five minutes walking distance from my place of stay and i was tired and hungry after all the travelling. the first impression was..oh! this place is small. it is bang on the main road, but very nicely cacooned by plants so one doesn't feel the traffic. quickly i opted for jumbo prawns in raw mango and coconut curry, which came with rice and salad, and a ginger soda. the service was fairly prompt and i began my meal with gusto. the first spoonful had me totally hooked!!! the food was superb!! the portions were very appropriate, so that one does not waste food. needless to say i relished my meal to the very last morsel and will definately be going back at least once more during my stay in kochi.
