- 8/10A restaurant called Amboli in Amboli. It couldn't have been located in a better place :) However, it's not called Amboli because of it's location. Amboli is a kind of Maharashtrian dosa, which goes very well with Malvani and Konkani gravies.
Food
We were a big group and ordered for a multitude of dishes ranging from fish, prawns, chicken and mutton. And every single thing that we ordered was great. The spices were perfect and the meat/ seafood was well marinated. You can try absolutely anything here and you wont be disappointed!
Menu variety
The menu here mostly covers seafood in all sorts of preparations, but the focus is Malvani cuisine. You can also order for common north indian items in meats or vegetables, and this is sometimes necessary when you have those one or two people in your group who are allergic to (or just nauseated by) seafood. It's a good choice of items for all.
Service
Service was prompt and waiters were friendly and always willing to help. Food came quickly and items that would take time was told to us before-hand. So important to do that - I wonder why some restaurants fail to perform this most common courtesy.
Ambiance
The restaurant could have had a more seafood-y feel. But they've chosen to give it a more normal look. There was a visible lack of artwork but the lights were nicely complementing the decor.
Value for money
A meal for two will not cost you more than a thousand bucks (even if you have a couple of drinks each). It's very reasonable.
Location
Right at Amboli, near the Cafe Coffee Day and very close to the Amboli church. Easy to find.
And in conclusion...
When you're in the moods for Malvan and in and around Andheri, you have to visit this place. Cheaper than Mahesh Lunch Home and comparable food (cannot compare the menu variety at MLH though)...what else do you want? :)
