A good place for lunch at a reasonable price. The tandoori, fried rice and pompfret fish were all good. $10 US for two people. read more A good place for lunch at a reasonable price. The tandoori, fried rice and pompfret fish were all good. $10 US for two people.

However, what do we go to a restaurant for I assume food is also an integral part of the entire spectrum. How did we reach there ? driving from South to North this came on our way and mesmerised (please read deceived by this monumental nightmare we turned back and went in !!! Now, coming to the point We go into the restaurant (I am being kind by still addressing it as a restaurant . Firstly, bad odour a perfect put off. We sit at an amazing location overlooking the calm waters ironically and matching to the theme and ambience so were the staff, callous not bothered about guests. Keep calling them and they would not even budge and as if everyone 's ears were been tampered and their hearing mechanisms surgically removed. Anger, to another level as if we all were there to eat without paying money. Now the cherry on the cake, we ordered: Chicken Manchow soup It was everything but a soup, it was everything but soup (Literally everything was in a soup !! Roasted Papad (Poppadum never seen a burnt one. Guess maybe it was their speciality !! Entrees Some chicken starters, as if eating chewable candies that would go on forever. One of their signature dish guess what they did ? Mixed up all the stuff (whatever was left in the restaurant and they served it with pride (Literally, threw the plate and disappeared and then they said the restaurant is shut so we cant order anything else (Protocol acceptable but how does one cannot serve a cold drink ? after requests one of them says Ya ok give it and we were blessed quite literally. Now, my request please go only when there is nothing left to eat anywhere else !!!

No complaints as such but it wasn't something which I enjoyed . It was average in taste Service was good and staff was friendly There are limited options in fish. You won't get mussels, bombil, lepo, velio but will get prawns , pomfret , squids Suggestion Visit River isle which has better options for fish
