I'd been here to parcel something for supper. It was supposed to be a new specialty seafood restaurant and had been reviewed highly in the local papers. There is an air-conditioned area which can seat around 30 pax and a roof top area which can also seat around 30 pax. I noticed that there was only one waiter for each of these areas - probably the service would be a bit slow.
I ordered for some hoppers (aapam - pancake made with fermented rice flour batter), fish kothu paratha - supposed to be paratha (fried Indian bread made with refined wheat flour) that is mixed with fried fish and onions and some green chillies and is minced on the pan. A plain paratha and a dish called 'yeral thoku masala' - Prawns in a gravy of mashed pickle.
The appam was nice - although I always prefer to have aapam served fresh on my plate rather than having it packed. The paratha was quite large (around 8 inch diameter) - nothing to complain about. The fish kothu paratha was a disappointment. It had a 3 cubes of fried fish mixed with plain kothu paratha. The fish itself was not minced with the paratha and this is just not the way it has to be made and served.
The gravy of the yeral thoku masala was good. It was a fresh tomato thoku (mashed tomato pickle). However, there were only 6 pieces of very small prawns. @ INR 150, it certainly was not worth it.
The bill came to INR 365/-. I may not be keen to visit this place again.
Reco - Nothing special about it - go without any expectations & you may come back a bit satisfied.
