Fishland. 4.10/5.00

Dilettante and I drove to Gandhinagar for dinner, Fishland being our destination. Truth be told, this is a very difficult review to write, I'll run out of adjectives and superlatives way too soon. Instead, I will describe the meal and state that this is quite possibly the best seafood you can get in Bangalore, although you'd have to like the Manglorean style of cooking to fully appreciate this.

The entrance has a chart of everything you could possibly order. Or not.
We started with some Rawa Fried Kane. I like that they use a very fine grade of rava, much more flavour and texture, needless to say the fish had pretty much jumped from sea to pan.

Our main course, if you can call it that, was a Prawn Biriyani, served with a wonderful kokum based coconut milk infused curry.

I can do no better than to quote Aleph who said that the prawns are like finding little jewels amongst perfectly cooked and spiced rice. Or something to that effect.

Since gluttony is something I do well, we also ordered a Masala Fried Prawn, which was perfect in every way...

...and a Masala Fried Slice Of Seer Fish, which was also fabulous. (See, I told you this was a difficult review.)

Aren't these the cutest lotas?
