Shop No.15, Opp. Bank of India, Juhu Nagar, Sector 15, Vashi, Navi Mumbai
Mukkam Post Malwan had been on my mind since I came across reviews claiming it to be one of the best places to have fish in Vashi. The Goan in me went for a lunch here the first chance it got. It was a Saturday leave from work to get household chores finished. Dropped baby off to daycare and headed to this tiny restaurant located amidst the garment stores in Vashi market.
From the outside, one cannot gauge that it is a family restaurant. But, once inside, you get a different feeling. The seating arrangement is quite limited with about seven 4-seater tables. We reached the place at around 2.30 and to my surprise, all the tables were occupied except two. Beautiful paintings depicting the beauty of Konkan region adorn the walls.

| Pomfret fry |
The order taker informed us that the fish available were prawns, pomfret, kingfish and mackerel. So, we ordered pomfret thali and kingfish thali along with fried prawns. My usual companion of seafood i.e. fresh lime soda was also present. Thali comprised of rice bhakri, a good piece of fish, dried prawns kismoor or sukat as we call it in Maharashtra, solkadi, fish curry and rice. Pomfret thali had an entire medium sized pomfret. The fried fish was delicious properly coated with masala. The fish curry lacked the taste. The curry had a piece of mackerel which was good. The solkadi had perfect pink color and tangy taste. The sukat was very simple and delicious. Fried prawns was the best part of the lunch. They were perfectly marinated in masala and crisply fried.

Overall, the fish was very tasty and fresh. But, the curry needs to be worked on. The service was quick. Another best part is that this restaurant is light on the pocket.
Sure to visit again when there is fish craving.
