If you are a seafood fanatic looking to treat your family to an authentic experience in Maharashtrian Malvani Cuisine then stop right here! Chaitanya Hotel is nestled close to the famous Siddhivinayak Temple in Dadar, South Mumbai. A small hotel with modest interiors, Aniket Keluskar discovers that the restaurant makes sure to leave you with a satisfied stomach.
Chaitanya Hotel has its origins in Malvan, a sleepy coastal village. Founded by Mr and Mrs. Mitra 25 years ago in Malvan, it first started in Mumbai a decade ago. Unbelievably, Surekha Mitra, who hails from Malvan, was unsatisfied with the taste of the food cooked in Mumbai waters. In the first year of operations in Dadar, she imported water from Malvan, which is 530 kms away from Mumbai. Such is the owner’s passion for the perfect taste. Later, given the logistics she experimented with changes in salt and other ingredients to match the original taste. With such depth and sincerity behind every plate, you would expect the food to taste nothing less than spectacular, and that is testified by the jam packed place filled with delighted eaters every weekend. From their vast menu, here are our picks for the top 5.
The list is endless from baby sharks to shellfish, Bombay duck to Bangde Tikhale (Extra Spiced Mackerel), crab lollipops to oysters. Served with authenticity and hanging on to the original taste of Malvani palette, the cuisine here is true food for the soul.
