Culinary Delights - Ankur
"Fish = Fitness" is a known phenomena, so when I "discovered" Ankur. A cute big place in Kala Ghoda amidst the confusing lanes and heritage area little did I know my taste buds were in for a treat.
It has been around for over 50 years and is a dream come true if you looking for authentic manglorean cuisine in Mumbai. Establised in 1941, it is perhapes one of the oldest places in a discreet location in Fort area of Mumbai.

We were famished when we arrived post workout. Mr Devdas recommended us Fish Kochi and Fish Thekkady which is marinated in ginger garlic and red chilli paste. Sweet and spicy fragrance of ginger, coconut and chillies infused to create a gastronomical masterpiece was heavenly. I can say it without any qualms that it is definitely one of the best fish I have had in Mumbai.
While our taste buds were enticed, we eyed our mains. We ordered chicken which was ok. And the main course we stuck to fish again, which was again off the charts. The other sea food items looked very tempting. I am sure prawns dishes would be executed well too as Mr Devdas highly recommended it to us but am just a "fishetarian" when it comes to sea food. My friend ordered neer dosa with the fish curry and chicken.
From the price point perspective, it is not that steep but not exactly cheap. While I was in no mood for a sweet splurge my friend ordered a mango kulfi which was decent.

Verdict: In short, if you haven't been here already, a visit is required surely just to gorge on the sea food and you can thank me later for it.
What I like?
- Fish Kochi and Fish Thekkady were star of the evening.
- Impeccable service and hospitality.
- The place is located in the quaint old town giving a contemporary vibe unlike other commercial sea food places in Mumbai
What I didnt like?
- It is not really pocket friendly but guess all the sea food places are exorbitantly priced.

Personally I am not a fish person and have not tasted Mangalorian cuisine I have little knowledge about it. However your post made me aware of their cuisine which seems very tasty and refreshing.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the food tastes as good as it looks, sometimes paying the price is well worth it.
ReplyDeleteOMG! looks so yummy

If I have to gorge on non-veg,I prefer fish to meat any day! And I'm basically a South Indian by choice! I love everything about the southern part of the country! Looking at the Fish Kochi at this hour made me sooooooo hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's true, seafood places are always more expensive than anything else, but the food looks exotic!
