Being a prominent coastal city, Mumbai enjoys a bountiful ecosystem of Seafood serving restaurants. In fact, if I were to explain Mumbai's love for coastal cuisine to non-Mumbaikars in the form of an analogy I would most definitely say, "Seafood is to Mumbai what Butter Chicken is to Delhi". But how do you separate the best eateries from the average ones in a city filled to the brim with seafood serving establishments? well, that's where EazyDiner comes in. In our quest to find the perfect restaurant offering the best seafood dining opportunities in Mumbai we came across Just Kerala in Andheri East.


Nestled in Hotel Samraj in Chakala Road, Just Kerala is a family-run business serving dishes in a signature Kerala style. With a culinary legacy of three decades in the city, Just Kerala brings to the forefront the rich cuisine from the household kitchens of Kerala, a state known for its unique amalgamation of traditions and cultures that otherwise varies with geography and religion, has the same uniqueness attributed to its food styles.


Primarily known for its seafood & delicious thalis, Just Kerala takes you on a journey of the real Kerala through its special menu featuring authentic flavors that change almost every day.


The entire restaurant has the charm of an old-school diner & a minimalist vibe with a touch of understated luxury highlighted by plush seating, dainty ceiling lamps, quite a few art nooks, and brightly painted wall murals.


There’s no denying the fact that It’s the delectable Malabar food that takes the centre stage here. The authentic preparations teeming with honest homey flavors bring a kind of nostalgia right to your plate. Coming to our recommendations from their stellar curation, we suggest you start your gastronomic journey here with any of their sumptuous seafood-based appetizers. Our favorite from their extensive line-up is the Prawns Pepper Fry. Marinated with freshly ground pepper, spices, lemon juice drowned in pepper & then fried to perfection, this is indeed a delightful preparation no seafood connoisseur can get enough of.


Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, the Kerala Fish Fry is a shallow fried delight that is sure to tantalize your taste buds. Marinated in a blend of traditional Kerala spices together with the texture of the fish make it an appetizer that you cannot miss out on!


If you are a chicken fanatic then their zingy Chicken Porichathu featuring a medley of lightly spiced mixed vegetables cooked in coconut milk flavored with freshly ground pepper & curry leaves is the perfect street food classic from Kerala that should definitely be on your must-try list. Mushroom Pepper Fry & Roasted Soya are two exquisite starter choices for those who prefer vegetarian fare.


For mains, Fish Travancore Curry-a Syrian preparation of medium spicy, red thick gravy, slightly soured using the traditional Kodampuli (kokam) is an exemplary dish that packs a whole lot of flavor.


If you are someone who is always enthralled with the idea of wholesome comfort food then the quintessential pairing of Appams with Chicken stew is just the soulful goodness you have to try.


Another excellent offering here is their signature Kerala Beef Curry featuring succulent meat chunks marinated in spices and fried golden with onions & chopped tomatoes, curry leaves and green chilies. Pair this signature preparation with their flaky Parottas and you’ve got yourself a wholesome meal.


To tie it all together, end the delightful dining experience at Just Kerala with their decadent treat Palada Payasam, Kerala's authentic sweet dish made with milk, dry fruits, and rice, which is every bit as indulgent as it sounds!
