Surmai Fry
Among many other seafood dishes at the restaurant, the Fresh Surmai is a must-try dish at new outlet in Thane because it is a signature speciality. The surmai is marinated in Chaitanya’s signature Malvani masala, shallow-fried till crisp at the edges while remaining tender and flaky within. It is bold and best enjoyed with a squeeze of lime and solkadhi on the side
Tisrya Bhujane
Clams tossed in roasted coconut, onions, and fragrant Malvani spices, cooked slowly to bring out their natural sweetness. It is smoky, spicy, and deeply comforting and the restaurant swears by the fact that it is the true taste of the Konkan coast
Ola Kaju Usal along with Malvani Vade
Tender fresh cashews simmered in a rich, mildly spiced coconut gravy, paired with fluffy yet crisp Malvani vade. The dish is earthy, festive, and packed with the comforting flavours of a coastal home kitchen
Mutton Masala with Amboli
Slow-cooked mutton in a fiery Malvani gravy layered with roasted spices and coconut, paired with soft, lacy amboli that soaks up every bit of the curry. Robust, soulful, and intensely flavourful
Special Prawns Thali
While there are many different kinds of dishes, nothing beats the complete Malvani feast. The Special Prawns Thali features fresh prawns cooked across textures and flavours, served with curry, bhakri or vade, rice, and cooling solkadhi. A hearty spread that captures the spirit of coastal dining in one meal
Modak
You don't have to wait for Ganesh Chaturthi to enjoy the delicious special that we love all too much. The soft, delicate ukadiche modaks are filled with jaggery and fresh coconut, steamed traditionally for a melt-in-the-mouth finish. They are sweet, nostalgic, and a reminder of being rooted in Maharashtrian tradition
