History 
Chaitanya - Authentic Malvani, was started as a small, heartfelt kitchen in Malvan, over three decades ago, and has since then found its place in Mumbai's Dadar for seafood lovers

Founders 
The restaurant was started in Malvan in 1992 by Surekha Walke and Nitin Walke, and today is continued by her son, Mitra Walke, while preserving preserving heirloom recipes and coastal flavours

New outlet in Thane
The new Thane outpost is a 90-seater spread across ground and first floor, imagined as a contemporary Malvani home. Earthy tones, natural materials, and wooden elements come together to create a space that feels rooted yet refreshed. The layout opens itself comfortably to both intimate meals and larger gatherings

Food 
The new outlet continues to celebrate ingredients such as coconuts, kokum, tamarind, and seasonal seafood which are sourced directly from Malvan. 

The menu includes highlights such as Surmai Fry, Bombil Fry, Fried Prawns, Chicken Sukka and Mutton Masala, and the classic fish curry, rice, and solkadhi

New food at Thane outlet 
The Thane outpost also introduces a tandoor. From the tandoor, the Pomfret Tandoor, Roasted Kaleji, and Tandoor Crab are flame-roasted to a delicate char, crisp at the edges, tender within

The new Chaitanya outlet is situated at Centrum Business Square, 16, Road No. 16/Z, Ambica Nagar, Wagle Industrial Estate in Thane West

The meal for two people is approximately Rs 800 to Rs 1,000
