Is Mumbai a seafood capital?

Mumbai makes a strong case for the title. Seafood has long been central to the city's food culture, and the Koli fishing community counts among its original residents, as Matador Network notes (Source: Matador Network). Malvani, Goan, Kerala and Mangalorean kitchens then cook the same catch in their own distinct ways.

Bombil, also called Bombay duck, is one of the fish most tied to the city, and Matador Network describes it as a popular and widely eaten catch among the Koli. You will see bombil on this list more than once, from the Stuffed Chili Bombil at Malvan Tadka to the Bombil Kabiraji at Rohinee.

What are the top seafood restaurants in Mumbai at a glance?

Here are the best seafood restaurants in Mumbai from this list, side by side.

What are the best seafood restaurants in Mumbai by cuisine?

The best seafood restaurants in Mumbai are easiest to sort by the coast they cook from. Malvani comes first, then Kerala and Mangalorean-style cooking, then Konkan, then one coastal-meets-global kitchen in Powai.

Malvan Tadka, Marol, Central Mumbai

Pomfret Malvani Tikhale sets the tone at Malvan Tadka, an air-conditioned restaurant with outdoor seating that many diners describe as quiet and family-style (Source: EazyDiner listing and reviews). Goan Prawns Curry brings a coconut-led gravy for rice, and Stuffed Chili Bombil and Prawns Koliwada work as starters. Reviewers often highlight the seafood thali and solkadhi, so add both. 

Must-haves: Pomfret Malvani Tikhale, Goan Prawns Curry, Stuffed Chili Bombil, Prawns Koliwada

Cost for two: ₹1,200

Rating: 4.7★ (Excellent)

Just Kerala, Chakala, Andheri East, Western Suburbs

Inside Hotel Samraj in Chakala, Just Kerala has the charm of an old-school diner with a minimalist, understated feel: plush seating, dainty ceiling lamps, a few art nooks, and brightly painted murals. Start with the Dry Masala Squid. Prawns Moilee covers the gravy side, Pomfret Poulichathu brings pomfret in a tangy, spiced masala, the Fish Keralal Thali puts a Kerala-style meal on one plate, and Prawns Biryani suits anyone who wants rice as the main event. 

Must-haves: Dry Masala Squid, Pomfret Poulichathu, Fish Keralal Thali, Prawns Biryani, Prawns Moilee

Malhar Tribes, Marol, Central Mumbai

White walls and furniture, warm wood flooring, and a beige stone accent wall give Malhar Tribes a clean, relaxed feel. Begin with the Seafood Soup, then move to Squid Ghee Roast, a Mangalorean-style dish where squid is tossed in a red masala and ghee. Crab Steak suits anyone who wants a hearty main; Prawns Mangalorean Sukka is the dry, coconut-led option, and Prawns Matka Biryani, cooked in a clay pot, closes the meal.

Konkan Curry - Thali Seafood Restaurant & Bar, Kopar Khairane, Navi Mumbai

Thali is the format at Konkan Curry, and the Surmai Thali is the order to start with. The dining room is spacious and vibrant, and EazyDiner tags the cuisine as Seafood, Konkan and Malwani (Source: EazyDiner listing). King Pomfret Malvani Curry suits rice, Surmai Cafreal Tawa is the dry plate, and Pahadi Bangda and Bombil Rani Bahar fill out the table.

The menu mixes coastal Indian cooking with Pan Asian touches, and EazyDiner tags it as North Indian, Seafood, Indian Coastal Cuisine, Pan Asian and Malwani (Source: EazyDiner listing). Chimichurri Prawns Roast and Baked Thecha Crab show that range, while Bombil Kabiraji and Sri Lankan Suppu round out the list.

What are the must-try seafood dishes in Mumbai?

These are the dishes from the five restaurants above that are worth building a meal around:

• Pomfret Malvani Tikhale (Malvan Tadka): Pomfret in a spicy Malvani masala, best eaten with rice and solkadhi.
• Prawns Koliwada (Malvan Tadka): A fried prawn starter named after Mumbai's fishing villages.
• Bombil dishes (Malvan Tadka, Konkan Curry, Rohinee): Stuffed Chili Bombil, Bombil Rani Bahar, and Bombil Kabiraji each treat Mumbai's signature fish differently.
• Surmai Thali (Konkan Curry): Kingfish served as a full thali meal.
• Pomfret Poulichathu (Just Kerala): A Kerala preparation of pomfret for those who like tangy, spiced gravy.
• Prawns Moilee (Just Kerala): A Kerala prawn curry with a coconut base.
• Squid Ghee Roast (Malhar Tribes): Squid in a red masala finished with ghee.
• Prawns Matka Biryani (Malhar Tribes): Rice and prawns cooked in a clay pot.
• Baked Thecha Crab (Rohinee): Crab baked with thecha, the Maharashtrian chilli and garlic chutney.

How can you choose a good seafood restaurant in Mumbai?

• Pick by the kind of meal you want first, and the restaurant follows. A thali place suits a rice-and-curry lunch, while a ghee roast or tawa fry suits a long dinner with a few plates to share.
• Check the catch: Ask what came in that day. Maharashtra's annual monsoon fishing ban pauses most sea fishing for about two months from 1 June, so availability shifts through the year.
• Match the coast to your taste: Malvani and Mangalorean menus lean hot and dry, while Kerala menus lean on coconut and tamarind-style gravies.
• Read the cost for two: The five picks here run from ₹850 to ₹1,600, so set a budget before you choose.
• Look at the format: Thali menus work for one-plate meals, and à la carte menus work for groups that want to share.
• Choose by area: Marol, Chakala, Powai and Kopar Khairane sit in different parts of the city, so travel time matters as much as the menu.

What are the seafood dining tips for first-time visitors?

• Order one dry and one gravy dish: A tawa fry or sukka next to a curry gives you both textures on the table.
• Add solkadhi: Diners at Malvan Tadka recommend it alongside the seafood thali (Source: EazyDiner reviews).
• Share the starters: Squid, prawns, and bombil are easier to enjoy in small portions across a group.
• Ask about spice: Malvani and Mangalorean dishes can run hot, so tell the server how much heat you want.
• Go early on weekends: Popular tables fill up, and a booking saves the wait.
• Flag any seafood allergies: If you have an allergy to shellfish, fish, or any other ingredient, inform the restaurant staff before ordering and ask about cross-contact in the kitchen. 

How can you book a seafood restaurant in Mumbai?

Booking takes a few minutes on EazyDiner.

1. Open the EazyDiner app or website and set the city to Mumbai.
2. Search for the restaurant, or browse the seafood and coastal cuisine listings.
3. Choose the date, time and number of guests.
4. Confirm the booking and check for any offers shown on the restaurant page.
5. After the meal, pay through PayEazy where the restaurant supports it.

What are the final recommendations?

For a Malvani meal with thali and solkadhi, book Malvan Tadka in Marol. For a thali built around kingfish, Konkan Curry in Kopar Khairane is the one to book. Just Kerala in Chakala suits a Kerala-style squid and pomfret meal, Malhar Tribes handles ghee roast and biryani, and Rohinee in Powai covers prawns and crab with a Pan Asian twist.

The best seafood restaurants in Mumbai each cook the coast a little differently, so pick the dish you want first. Then book your table on EazyDiner and head out hungry.
