The staff at this restaurant does not have good co-ordination. They served us food from another table twice.

It is one of the oldest chains of restaurants dealing in sea food. This one tops my list of best sea food restaurants in Mumbai. I have been to Mahesh Lunch Home with my mom and her friends, and I have loved everything they ordered.

Being a Bengali and a complete sea food freak, I loved this place for so many sea food options. The portion of the items was also quite comforting. However, it is a bit too pricey. The staff there is quite helpful when it comes to suggestions.

One of the disadvantages of going to a famous restaurant to eat is the crowd. Mahesh Lunch home is usually too crowded in the day time and there is an urgency to eat and leave as quickly as possible. I loved their ambience. However, I being the slow eater, I could see some frown faces towards me, but that’s fine.

It is pricey, in fact very pricey as compared to any other restaurant of the same category. Some of the things I really love at Mahesh Lunch Home are: Butter Crab(with no shell), Chilly Crab with Garlic Bell Pepper, Surmai and Rawas Masala Fry, Bombay Duck Fry, Prawns Mahesh Special.

My mouth is watering just by the names of these. One must go to Mahesh Lunch Home with a food junkie who loves sea food. The experience will be amazing.

If you are a Manglorean and missing home food then it’s Mahesh Lunch Home to the rescue. One of the best places in Mumbai to relish on prawns, lobsters and other sea food.  Masala prawns and surmai fry are my all time favourites.

Came here specially for Fish Pepper Tikka and Prawns in butter. Not much to say but this was the best fish and prawns I have had so far. Our servers were fabulous and service was fantastic. Ambience was pretty perfect too. The greatest Seafood experience in dining in Mumbai. Little pricey but it is worth it.

Try out anything from their menu and you will not regret. A must visit. Highly recommended.

One of the oldest sea food restaurants in Mumbai and definitely maintained its stature. have been to this place many times with family and the food continues to draw many people like us again and again.

They serve sea food, north indian, mangalorean and north indian delicacies but I'm here always for the sea food. Mahesh Lunch Home serves FRESH(having sea food outside my home makes me a bit skeptic) and quality sea food. The'Crab Pondicherry Curry' is the best crab preparation I've had.( they actually bring out the live crab thats gonna be cooked right unto your table), 'Prawns Gassi' is another dish I would recommend, it has that typical karnataka cooking type flavour with the prawns being big and perfectly cooked.

Talking  about the ambience, they have a big aquarium with big salt water fishes in the seating area.   the seating just besides the aquarium is a different experience loved by kids and adults alike. Moderately priced. staff is cordial and attentive and will help you with the choices to be made so that your dining experience is perfect.

Mahesh Lunch Home is synonymous with fish and the various fish delicacies they prepare. The moment you walk indoors, the smell/aroma of fish will engulf you. In the middle, they had a crab festival where they served some of the freshest and largest crabs ever seen.

The interiors of the place are pretty nice, with plush couches on either sides of the tables. The staff too is very sweet, welcoming and warm and serves the patrons well.

So much so that when you order, say a lobster, the Captain brings the lobster to your table to show you the size and tell you the prize of the fish. Though the place serves all kinds of Cuisine like North India and Chinese, it is highly recommended to try out Mangalorean fish preparations as they are the best!

While I was in Mumbai, my friends took me to eat Mahesh Lunch Home at Fort. I was wondering what kind of a place would this be. But I was keen on trying out a new place. We reached at around 9 and had to wait for around 20 mins to get ourselves a table. We got one in almost 10-15 mins and decided to place our orders.

We called for a Crab Soup, Malbari Machli Tikka, Fried Bombay Duck(Bombil) and Pomfret Tikka. The soup had huge, succulent pieces of crab meat in it and it was the most delicious I have ever eaten! The starters too were very delicious. The starters disappeared in 10 mins flat!

In the Mains we called Prawns Gassi, Appams and Prawns Pulao. The Prawns Gassi was top class and there was not a single iota of imperfection in it! The pulao too was very yummy.

The combination of Appams with the Gassi was simply heavenly. We were bursting at the seams now and left to have ice cream at our favorite joint. Amazing time at Mahesh Lunch Home. Must try.

Would you say the best place to enjoy sea food is one by the sea? Not in most cases. Of course if you are eating at Mahesh Lunch Home, the location doesn't matter.

I was at their Juhu branch for dinner the Thursday before Ganesh Chaturthi. With their legendary popularity in every segment of the eating-out market (hehe!), I though I was being smart enough to call ahead and see if I could make reservations. I was told by the captain that finding a place for two people wouldn't be a problem, especially since it was a Thursday. So off we went, reaching there at 945 pm. What do I see? 15 other people already waiting outside the front door. And I find out that there will be a minimum 20 minute wait.

Now some readers of this review will no doubt tell me that 20 minutes is no pain for a restaurant like Mahesh Lunch Home. And I will agree with them on most days. Not ,however, on a Thursday, which is often a no-fish-no-meat day for several Hindus and which I presume is a slow day for most sea food restaurants. And I will certainly not be happy about this delay when the captain has told me 24 hrs before that finding a place for two people shouldn't be a problem. When someone at a restaurant tells me that, I assume that means finding a place immediately shouldn't be a problem. If you can't find a place for two people immediately, that's not a "shouldn't be a problem" situation, that's a "yes, there will be a problem" situation.

Well, nuff said about that. I found that the captain at least knew exactly how much time it would take for a table to be vacated. And I thought I saw one of the attendants use a PDA to communicate with the kitchen, I am not sure. Anyways, 20 minutes later ( yes I was timing it--I planned to write this review), we were escorted to their partially-covered section upstairs. The seating is quite comfortable there and if you prefer to mull over your mussels while watching traffic go by, you will be delighted. I ended up with my back to the traffic, which wasn't such a bad thing because the view in front of me was much better. At the next table was an Emma Thompson look alike (or was it ET...?) Well, the clipped English accent is always a pleasure and I like ET so I settled down to a evening of pleasure for several of my senses :-D.

And my taste buds and my nose would soon be engulfed by the restaurant's amazing ability to cook up a smorgasbord of sea food (I always wanted to use that word so there). I began with crab soup, which is simply the best I've had in a long time. No contest! My mom ordered, despite my entreaties, the Hot and Sour soup. I still haven't figured out why she began by ordering something any other restaurant also serves. But she tells me it's quite good.

We then discussed the merits and demerits of ordering the surmai dishes versus the ravas dishes versus the pomfret dishes versus the crab dishes for well over 15 minutes, with a brief consultation with the captain. When your primary cuisine is sea food, as the cuisine at my home is, you don't let restaurants get away with recommending the priciest dish on or off the menu or the most popular one. That's for those whose staple non-veg meal is not sea-food. We finally settled on the Tandoori Ravas. Of course, no trip to Mahesh Lunch Home is worth it if you do not order one of their gassis. We decided to go with their flagship Pomfret gassi. And appams to go with them.

So far so good. Actually not. The service was abominably slow. It took them more than 20 minutes to get the two dishes we ordered. And one of them is their signature dish! I would've lost patience much earlier if it hadn't been for the fascinating stories and uproarious laughter at ET's table. I have never so unabashedly eavesdropped on a conversation as I did that day. Fortunately, she was no discrete whisperer so it wasn't so embarassing.

The size of the ravas, when it arrived finally, turned a lot of heads. This is truly a family size meal on its own. The ravas was tandooried just right. This is an amazing preparation. And if it had been a weekend, I would have had the chef come over to discuss the finer points with my mom. The fish itself was well chosen, and cooked to such perfect texture that even the memory is making my mouth water. I was eating in complete silence for several minutes. With that Brit accent in my ears and the taste of that ravas in my mouth, any other reaction would've been noisy.

The gassi arrived smelling the way a great gassi should. And tasted as well as the one my aunt makes. Every morsel, every dip of the appam was a moment to cherish. I think it was another 25 minutes before we finished the last of it.

And we followed that up with another surmai gassi and fried prawns in sauce. And yes, the fish head from the ravas. No, not for us, but for my dad back home, who couldn't make it to the restaurant that day. I simply couldn't let him go without. Again, the l-o-o-n-g wait.

We concluded the evening with a plate each of kulfi, sitafal for me and kesar-pista for mom. Nothing special about those. But the real kulfi on the gassi (the equivalent of icing on the cake) for me that day was the fact that I didn't pay anything for the evening's repast. You see, by virtue of having won a Hindustan Times contest, the entire meal was paid for. Yes, even if there's no such thing as a free lunch, there is such a thing as a free dinner.
