This restaurant used to occupy the premium F C Road space till about a few months ago. Legal issues, I've heard, caused them to shut shop and shift over here. A much smaller space, a much less accessible location, but the food pretty much the same.
Fair ambiance. A village scene painting. A pillar artistically done up. Amitabh Bachchan quizzing the over hamming Rani Mukherjee on the wall adorning LCD TV. False ceilings and bright lights. The works.
I call for a Goan Fish curry (INR 350) and half a portion of white rice(INR 40). And a fresh lime soda (INR 25) to top.
The food was top quality, though I was a tad unsatisfied. The Goan curry was not the way I had expected. It was way too watery and way too less coconutty. And slightly bland for my taste. The pomfret though was a decent sized one and did pass the muster.
The rice was white Basmati and fair in quantity. The fresh lime soda was perfect.
The Verdict: This visit of mine can be definitely ruled out as exceptional, it is in no way a parameter for their performance. Nostalgically I hold this place in high esteem, and shall visit again.
