Best seafood restaurants in Mumbai

Quick answer

Locals recommend Trishna (Kala Ghoda), Mahesh Lunch Home (Fort), Gajalee (Vile Parle East), Bastian At The Top (Kohinoor Square).

Mumbai at the table means seafood first: butter-garlic crab, bombil fry and fish curries from the Konkan and Mangalore coasts. These are the seafood rooms locals send visitors to.

Trishna Kala Ghoda, Fort

South Mumbai's most sought-after seafood room, tucked into a Kala Ghoda lane. Trishna is where locals take visitors for a celebration crab, and fine-dining regulars rank it among the city's best. It's expensive, and r/mumbai's most-upvoted comment about it said exactly that: the food is good, just pricey.

Mahesh Lunch Home Fort (also Juhu)

A Mangalorean seafood house that has been a Mumbai special-occasion staple for decades, with branches in Fort and Juhu. Regulars come strictly for the fish: seafood they call amazing, cooked to whatever spice level you ask for, with Maharashtrian and Mangalorean preparations on the menu. Like Trishna it's expensive, but plenty of locals call it their overall pick.

Gajalee Vile Parle East (also Juhu)

The suburbs' coastal seafood institution, cooking in the Konkan style. Locals who think North Indian food in Mumbai is a waste of a meal send visitors here instead, especially for bombil fry: Bombay duck, batter-fried until crisp outside and soft within. It's a little pricey, but for one meal of real Mumbai seafood it's a common pick.

Bastian At The Top Kohinoor Square, Dadar West

Mumbai's see-and-be-seen seafood name, now down to one address: a rooftop 48 floors up at Kohinoor Square in Dadar, after its Worli and Bandra outposts closed. Locals once summed Bastian up as 'trendy, cute and great food', and one regular sent a crab-hunting visitor here as the cheaper alternative to Trishna. These days the view is the headline, so book it for the occasion.
