Anupam's Coastaal Express. 3.95/5.00

Had lunch on Sunday with the folks. In preparation for the Lenten season we decided seafood was the order of the day and chose Anupam's Coastaal Express over Fishland only for prosaic considerations of access. Both restaurants are fabulous with the latter having a slight edge on account of their prawn biriyani, which is a gem to behold.
They serve these crisp fried rice cracker like thing to start with and some jackfruit papadums, free and yummy!
We then had some butter garlic squid (fresh, and done to perfection. Not too much garlic, buttery with a tad too much pepper), rava fried kane (brilliantly done. And fresh, as is all their seafood.) and a masala fried pomfret (which was similarly fabulous.)
Main course was a crab masala (a bit anemic these crabs were.), prawn curry with neer dosa and pundu (the rice balls. Think I have the name all wrong. ). The crab and prawn were superbly done, with the delicate flavour of that pink kokum they use. Nothing was allowed to overpower the freshness and flavour of the seafood. The neer dosa were perhaps too thick but the rice balls are superb for sopping up gravy with.

No dessert, though they do have a wonderful raagi mane.

If you go, order the ghee roast chicken. It will change your opinion of chicken and spice.
