Gajalee, Mumbai’s Favourite, Most Popular Seafood Restaurant, Best Bombay Duck Mumbai, Best Seafood Mumbai, Most Popular Seafood Mumbai, Best Tandoori Crab Mumbai, Best Seafood Restaurant In Mumbai Stuffed Bombil Fry, Bombil Fry, Bombay Duck Fry, Randoori Crab, Indian Salmon Rawas Curry, Fresh Seafood, Bombay, Seafood, Lunch, Dinner
Gajalee is perhaps Mumbai’s most popular seafood destination. When here, its fresh seafood offerings, from the signature stuffed bombil fry, prawns koliwada, plain bombil fry, rawas curry to the splurge worthy tandoori crab are a ritual for many of its regulars. I make the most of a quick visit to Mumbai to catch an indulgent seafood feast here and film this GOTR Raw episode. Enjoy!
PRAWNS KOLIWADA
These sea prawns are fresh, well seasoned and encrusted in a crunch rice flour batter. Smother it with the ginger garlic chutney if you like it spicy.
Rs. 425 (USD 5.6)
8.5/10
STUFFED BOMBIL FRY
If you were to try only one dish at Gajalee, this would be it. The delicate, watery bombay duck is rolled around a spicy shrimp mixture, dipped in a batter and fried. The fish retains its moistness despite being fried and the shrimp adds flavour.
Rs. 400 (USD 5.3)
10/10
Bombil Fry
The Bombay Duck is simply seasoned, dredged through a rice batter and fried. Yet another dish to try here. You can quite literally taste the ocean in this preparation.
Rs. 325 (USD 4.3)
9/10
TANDOORI CRAB
It’s a bit of a splurge, but you definitely get the ‘meatiest’ bang for your buck! The crab was fresh and plump in its meat. I was worried that the tandoori masala would overpower the flavour of the crab, but that wasn’t the case. You could taste the sweetness in the flesh, and the gentle edge of the tandoori marinade.
Rs. 2957 (USD 39)for a one kilo crab
10/10
Rawas Curry
A creamy Malwan style curry, flavoured with the sour twang of kokum. The rawas or Indian salmon was soft and had absorbed the flavour of the curry. Best eaten with the ghavne, lacy pancakes made with a runny rice batter.
Rs. 425 (USD 5.7)
8/10

Bullshit. Had taken my business friends from Kerala to this forsaken place .One of the orders was Capri fry. Disastrous. Sorry face. Bill was Rs 3000/_for this tasteless fish. Insult to me. Authentic food lovers never visit this place. Lot of hype.
Bhau when next (definitely after pandemic gets over) do visit Sarkar (Goregav station east), Jai Hind Pali hill there are plenty more choices like Highway Gomantak, Sushegad Mahim Malwani Aswad Vileparle
Ripoff place
Your way of presentation is much ahead of others and at higher level.
Why u only covering south India no north india
3:13 whenever you see something alive, you should go for it.. 😂😂
Why it remind me of Chinese people?
I'm from Italy and love Indian food 👍🏻🇮🇹
And we seem to love Italian food too. 🙂 Stay safe.
I love indo-italiano cuisine
Lovely
Best food blogger, vlogger, in India the way you describe food, the way you taste it is top notch. There is so much effort you put in your videos can be seen straight forward. Hope to see you more kripal. Just love your work.
Thank you, Krishna, happy you enjoyed the video. Stay safe. 🙏
Going to Gajalee from last 16 yrs or more.....mostly to Vile Parle East Branch. Bombay Duck, Prawns Koliwada with Green chutney , must try Pomprate Koshimbir .....fish Tikka , Ghavne with chicken Curry and in the end curry with steam rice.....all this with sip of a thumps up.
Sir I love the content, articulation and awareness that you're bringing to all your fans about wonderful and some unexplored eateries in Bangalore. But I hope you and entire team is taking precautionary measures towards Covid-19. As a foodie and fan of your work, wouldn't want you, your team or anyone from our community getting infected. Wishing all of you safe and healthy coming time.
Yes, we are taking all precautions necessary. This was filmed last month. Enjoy the watch and stay safe.
“Saline freshness of the prawn” - Wow
Crab meat soup is one of the dish you should have tried Sir, it is one of the soulful broth and Gajalee speciality!! Also tisrya (clams) masala is another speciality of gajalee
Ur friend looks like tat viral Zomato laughing guy 😅😅
Aptly when people say that he's married to his job...passion is outright visible in all your presentations...foodgasmic galore!!!!
Good see @chef dinesh mhatre . Very fortunate to work with you .
Gazalee is quite over priced! Rawas fry is very thin pc., over priced for the thin slice. Tiger Prawns and the Pomfret is very much over priced ₹4,000 per kg of pomfret is a joke! Bombil is good! Highway Gomantaak is a good alternative! Try it
Hello sir im love your volg
And am from Mumbai and my Village is ratnagiri (konkan).lost off love from mumbai. All the best sir.
That's nice to know, Bhavesh. I would love to visit Ratnagiri someday and taste the aapus and the bounty of seafood there. 😋
Hi Sir, Pls do a food review on some buffet restaurants such as Absolute Barbeque or Barbeque Nation.
That Tandoori crab is too expensive! Long ago, I used to stay in Vile Parle, very near to Gajalee and I have had Tandoori crab many times, but the price was pretty reasonable then. Rs.2957 is quite shocking!
"SEA FOOD NIRVANA" fabulous note! 👍😊😊😊🙏
They show you fish and you select it. Once selected they swap and give different smaller fish
Wow😍 all the dishes are at reasonable price 👌👌👌 I am surely gonna visit Gajalee after lockdown overs😋
I'll surely try this place in my next visit to Bombay. You make everything look so delicious, even the simplest dishes. You are a true food connoisseur
Bombay ❌❌❌
Mumbai ✔️✔️✔️
Nice to see Kannadigas in Mumbai ❤
Mumbai was ruled by Kannada Shilahara dynasty for 350 years
Mumbai is a Kannada word Munde Iruva Bayi the bay in front Kandivli Borivli Etc are Kannada names Kandi halli Bori halli etc Maharashtra was part of Karnataka during Kannada origin Rastrakoota and Chalukya empire times .Yadava dynasty also called Seuna dynasty which ruled today's northern mahatastra areas from Devagiri were Kannadigas
Jai Karnataka
Jai Maharastra
Jai Bharath
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shilahara
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seuna_(Yadava)_dynasty
@@dcmhsotaeh yes Elora caves, Elephanta caves, Pandarpura Vittala Temple, etc are all build by Kannada kings
My favored jaunt for lunch (12 yrs) as my H.O used to be next door! Besides what you aptly hogged, Mutton thali, pomphret slices, stuffed pomphret, Shimpli and wash it down with Sol Kadi were my go to meals!
Good to see you binging at Ville Parle Gajalee! ✊🏽
That size of mud crab costs around 700-800/- a KG... Considering all 2k is a reasonable price max., 2957/- is too much. I visited Gajalee in Pune 3 times, but didn’t taste crab by seeing that price tag. Clicked the pics of live crabs only 😁.. Tasted bombil, mandeli, surmai, prawns, lobster so far at Gajalee. There are other good seafood places to try in Pune namely Nisarg, Fish Curry n Rice and Mahesh Lunch Home. While Gajalee is into Malvani style, Mahesh lunch home is into Mangalorean style. Fish curry n rice is a Kolhapuri Malvani mix. Got a good deal for the mud crab once at Mahesh lunch home,Pune and had it.
Kannada everywhere ❤️...,but 5k 😄🙄
Best seafood restaurant in India
Absolutely fantastic coverage of Gajalee, one of my favorite restaurants...undoubtedly made my mouth water on a Monday dinner time... Kudos!! Welcome to Mumbai again Kripal jee..
Gajalee is my fav restaurant in Mumbai! All the seafood is amazing but they also do an amazing nalli curry
Nalli curry! Yum! Must add that to our list.
I love their Bombay duck crispy fry.
சூப்பர் சார் அருமையான பதிவு நன்றி சார் உங்கள் நிகழ்ச்சி அனைத்தும் எனக்கு பிடித்துள்ளது super good welcome
Gajalee is one of expensive restaurant specialized in sea food. Prices are surely not justifiable at all considering the fact that Mumbai receives fish in abundance. So freshness is assured all over in most of the sea food restaurants.
@Puru Date,
i observed the same too.
Correct.. Criticism is hardly welcome here
Can u tell me any seafood restaurents in Mumbai at nominal pricing .......
@@kaala1240 Sure. If you are willing to accept basic decor but high cleanliness then I would recommend 2 restaurants to you (1) Hotel Gomantak : Near Plaza cinema opposite Shivaji Mandir at Dadar West. This restaurant has been serving freshly made delicious sea food for decades. Recently, it has featured in Mark Wein's Vlog. (2) Hotel Poorva Pangat: Just two shops away from Hotel Gomantak
@@purudate4049 thanks a lot buddy , will be in Mumbai in 2 weeks , will visit the ones you recommended ,,,,, hopefully by then we are completely rid of this corona mess ... ..
Does he have a close connection with mangalorean culture ? He feels comfortable with that culture !
He is a manglorean settled in Mumbai
His native is Mangalore, studied in Mumbai and settled in Bangalore !
Sir, you are the best food blogger. Thanks for detailed analysis and recommendation of this Resturant at Mumbai.
You got right partner 😉
U missed pomfret
The way the chef answers is the way I answer in my viva voce😂😆
😕😕😕 😋😋😋😋😋 i felt like i ate all those foodiio and now they were in my Petu 😂😂😂 and telling eat again eat again 😂😂😂 go on go on shabbo 😋😋😋
Another masterpiece by Kripal, from his childhood city Mumbai.
I wish your chef friend did more talking than concentrate so much on eating, given the fact he is an Executive chef.
Nevertheless, enjoyed the Vlog as usual.
Happy eating Kripal.
Happy you enjoyed the video, Aubrey, it's also nice to have someone who relishes his food, no? Kinda gets you to taste more. 😉😋
funny to see that chef repeating the last few words of Kripal's sentences.
@@gautampram : I guess he is not fluent in the Queen's language. No offence meant. Just observation :)
Rs 2957 for crab ..omg .. 😅
visit crab nation 2957 is noothing compare this
Food looks great, but the cost for the carb is way too high.. This episode reminded me of a restaurant named Ritz at Panaji in Goa.. Sea food there is amazing, I think you should visit there once. Good job, thank you for introducing us to new places.
Most popular seafood restaurants in Mumbai are Trishna, Mahesh Lunch Home, Gajalee, Apoorva and Sayaba.
Any fish curry goes best with steamed rice and not with Ghavan or Rice Bhakri.
I would typically eat a fish curry with rice too, but I went with the server's reccomendation of the ghavan as I hadn't tasted it before. Went quite well with the curry, after all the ghavan is made of rice batter.
I am also frm parle since childhood know this restaurant:))
Been to this place often, the food is amazing
An awesome place if you crave really good Sea Food.
VERY EXPENSIVE FOOD
Absolutely wonderful sir even in self isolation your videos ( especially this ) is so joyfull to watch without any bore makes it watch again and again
So costly wtf loot ppl
The same 900 grams of crab at mangalore (karnataka) gajalee hotel costed me around 1200 RS. May b a year back.
Akshya Prakash,
Can you pls provide details of location of the restaurant you visited pls?
Thank you.
@@aubreysequeira2297 : Circuit house compound Kadri hills, opposite kadri police station kadri. Mangalore 575004. R just Google Gajalee restaurant mangalore.
@@akshyaprakash2080
Thank you very much.
Have a great day!!!
That's interesting to know, Akshya, I would expect prices in Kudla to be lower than Mumbai, Don't see anyone paying what I did for the Mumbai crab in Mangalore. A question though: was the crab you tasted a sea crab or mud crab? The former are much cheaper.
Obviously, mangalore is much cheaper than mumbai. What I tasted was sea crab it may cost around 400 per kilo. Because mud crab as I now cost's around 12-13 hundred per kilo and the breeders of mud crab are making fortunes.
The chef is serious only to EAT!
Bombil rocks! Gajalee has its unique cooking style.
Rip off place
Superb .. love from Mumbai .
Anna…Welcome…You are at my Home…Vile Parle, Mumbai ❤️😊
Amazing Video Sir 🙌😃
Everything was fine except the DOPE/I doubt his profession//the guy did not know how to use the crab cracker///Hilton must be looney to employ this dope!!!!!!!!!!
You should have also tried crab in butter garlic pepper sauce in gajalee, it is to die for..
Next time perhaps. 🙂
Love gajalee's ginger garlic chutney. Want to learn how to make it!
I am not sure when was this shot, shouldn't you be under some sort of lockdown to fight the virus spread? I am just wondering
This was shot last month.
Thank you and take care in this very difficult time.
welcome in मुंबई
This review was fabulous, loved every dish! God Bless you Kripal..."...no plague shall come nigh thy dwelling...". Psalm 91:10.
🙏 Pike, God bless you too!
Mrs Shirley Tholar was remembering you...
💯💥💯. Super Duper Vid. Amazing Content, Great Presentation and Perspective. Solid Still Hands😁👌👍
🙏🙏
i would happily go to Savaji hotel....................................or kolhapoor style
Hii sir I loved seafood yammi 😊😄😜😍😍enjoy my dear & happy eating 🙋💖👍👌
You guy's really need to get into the Crab Properly by breaking it by your mouths/teeth's really deep and sucking the meat away. Amazing. Thanks a lot.
Sir do more Rajasthani food videos.
Sir please visit Gama Gama restaurant in banashankari Bangalore. It's a hotel run by a trans woman named neethu ( also the the first Indian transgender tattoo artist). The restaurant offers authentic north Karnataka homely food. Please review the restaurant I hope it will be worth it.
Nice to know, Darshan. How is the food? What's special on the menu?
Addicted .. was waiting for a video from Mumbai. This is next level
Neer Dose
Hello sir you know the perfect way of eating Good luck
Bombay duck and kane is my favourite fish
I had best Mutton biryani in Gajalee... next time try that also
Hi sir...your content is super and the way u present is unbeatable..being a true food lover when I see u having test of various items makes me to feel that m also taking test along with u..and best part is it gives visual satisfaction also..a true hearted Bangalorean👏👏.
Thank you, Dipayan. Stay safe.
Aww so you are a Bombayite! Ville Parle Gajalee is where it all started. Every 3rd/ 4th day my meal used to be there since my office was in the neighborhood. All that you have hogged today used to be my favoured meal too PLUS Pomfret slices!
Good seafood binge Kirpal..!!!
I have tried those fried pomfret slices earlier and they are delicious. In fact I was quite tempted to try the pomfret that came on the seafood tray, but it would have been too much for us. 😋
@@FoodLoversTV cool, i understand. Next visit the more the merrier. Surdi would love to be around. 😉
BTW, it was good you did not try what he exhibited. It was a Black Pomfret not a Silver one... and you jolly well know the difference between the two, Kirpal. ✊
@@harjindersinghlotey3162 yes nothing as tasty as a good silver paphlet fry! 😋
@@FoodLoversTV WORLI GAJALEE SUCKS
Nice place in Vile parle in Mumbai
Try the crab tandoori at Mahesh lunch home at fort mumbai
This video was amazingly wholesome!!
Nice to see Dinesh Mhatre Chef.😊
5:16 i love this chutney wanted to make this at home. lemon and ginger taste is dominant.
Lovely sea food 💕♥️
It's mouth watering. You got my appetite going. Next time I visit Mumbai I will definitely try Bombil and crab. It's always entertaining yet informational to watch your episodes. Respect your presentation and love for food. Still isn't the crab too exorbitantly priced? And it looks you are little uncomfortable or off mood. Keep eating and stay healthy.
Hi Kalyan, the bombil and the crab are definitely a must-have depending on one's budget. I agree, the crab is pricey, but thats what restaurants seem to charge for large mud crabs which are way more expensive as compared to sea crabs.
Enjoyed the video.. I don't remember the last time I saw the humour side of Kripal..
Expecting some nice videos with Dinesh as like the ones you had with Iqbal..
Hi Mathew, happy you enjoyed the episode, this was a one-off video, shot during my Mumbai recce last month. Was hoping to return on March to shoot a full series. But that will have to wait for now.
You guys are here to show the reasonable prices of a restaurant
Wtf!! Of those prices 🙄
Why r u showing the bill, always u don't show then why now
🦀 crab - very hard to eat......
It requires you to be hands on, but is so rewarding especially when it’s as delicious as this.
Friday crab for me yayy mountain watering
Happy you are safe😊
Apki hindi bhi badhiya hai ... ☺️😙😙
I love the food especially the sea food
Sad thing is..I m craving for fish alott .and due to lockdown I can only see and calm myself
Very nice to see ur video
Sir u must try bombil its call (Bombay duck) its..very delicious
Hi Bhavesh, I did try the Bombil in this video, two preparations at that, Stuffed Bombil ani Fry. Do take a closer look at the video.
Yappa non veg, naan veg
This is how it looks like when a man knows his job. I am a vegetarian and damm I am feeling like to eat all this seafood 😅😅
I'm cup 9
ही असा जीभ बाहेर काडून का खातोय समजणं राव
5000rs in a single time
9:55 damn need that chutney recepie
You're making awesome... Actually delicious videos... certainly very best of food channels... Keep it up... Never stop making these videos...👍
you said that the chef is a man of few words. He is indeed. He likes repeating the last few words of your sentences. fun and mouthwatering to watch this video.
Hi Kripal,
Is Ghavane same as Neer Dose?
Hi Srinivasa, it is similar in the sense that both are made from a rice batter. But the ghavan doesn't use coconut milk like the neer dosa, I was told.
almost
Did you know the MH/Konkani version of Idli is called Saandan सांदण ?
This video killed me. I didn’t eat a bite yesterday all day except got 4 cups of black coffee then empty stomach I started watching this playlist at 3am........it’s now 7:06am and am starving watching him enjoy fried fish & my fave Crab.........awwwww Indian food looks so delicious. Yummmmm! Not fair 😢😢😢
Bro you should go any desi fish fry shop in whole punjab. With pudina chateny.
