Mahesh Lunch Home - Seafood Specialty Restaurant (Juhu)

Visited July 17, 2025 – Day 14 in India 5 stars This was our second visit to Mahesh Lunch Home in two nights during our four-night stay in Mumbai—that’s how much we love this place. Many friends told me to try their garlic‑butter specials, so we ordered garlic‑butter prawns for my 5‑year‑old, and she devoured them. The garlic‑butter sauce left on her plate was so good, I happily took it with my rice. My 7‑year‑old, not a seafood fan, enjoyed her beloved reshmi kebab again—soft, flavorful, and exactly to her taste. For us adults, hubby and I ordered the lobster lajawab and lobster Malabar chilli, paired with roti and rice. Each dish was absolutely delicious—rich, aromatic, with the perfect balance of spice. The lobster lajawab was buttery and indulgent, while the lobster Malabar chilli offered a beautiful heat that lingered just right. We were thrilled to see Sunil and Vinod again—they remembered us and once more took exceptional care. Attentive, warm, and effortlessly thoughtful, they made the evening feel like catching up with old friends. We loved everything about our dinner. Highly recommend. Visited July 15 2025 - Day 12 in India My friends highly recommended Mahesh Lunch Home in Juhu so we went for dinner after it reopened as it was closed yesterday due to the Maharashtra bandh on July 14 Sunil the captain and Vinod our server took excellent care of us. They were attentive thoughtful and made sure every detail was taken care of without us even having to ask. From making sure the kids were comfortable to anticipating our needs they were warm courteous and professional throughout the evening For dinner my 5 year old wanted the chicken sweet corn soup. Sunil thoughtfully split it into two bowls so both my 5 and 7 year olds could have their own. My 5 year old loved it and the 7 year old was okay with it For the kids Sunil recommended chicken reshmi kebab with no spice and they enjoyed it with rice. It was soft flavorful and mild enough for their taste We ordered tandoori pomfret for my husband and me. We got to choose our fish and it was cooked to perfection. Spicy smoky and delicious we loved every bite and did not leave a crumb behind We also ordered the Mahesh special prawn curry which was outstanding. The curry was rich creamy and full of flavor and the prawns were generously portioned and perfectly cooked. We had it with tandoori rotis and rice and everything was just delicious. The flavors were deep and satisfying with just the right amount of heat and seasoning My husband had ordered fish and chips thinking the kids might not eat the reshmi kebab but they did not touch the fish and chips at all Not wanting to waste food we packed the untouched fish and chips the remaining prawn curry and rice. Later that night we gave it to an elderly lady living in a tent near our hotel and she was very grateful This was a memorable dinner not just because of the food but because of the kindness of the staff and the overall warmth of the experience. Highly recommended

Hey, if you're into seafood, you gotta check this place out! We had the prawn koliwada, tawa kingfish, and garlic prawns – everything was amazing. The service was great, and the staff were super nice.

Food was good except the prawns curry. Something was odd about the curry. When we asked to check we were told that everything is fine with the curry and this is how it should taste - Disappointed about the service! Except the prawn curry food was good.

This is our favourite place for seafood. I plan to eat my lunch at least once here whenever I'm in Mumbai. I have tried Rava masala fry pomfret fish, Butter garlic crab, Butter garlic prawns, Lobster curry in both North and South Indian curry and obviously dessert - coconut payasam. Their cocktails are also good and this time we tried sunset margarita and true love. My personal favourite is Lobster in south indian curry with neer dosa. It was lip smacking delicious. Best for seafood lovers. I highly recommend this place.

Always a pleasure to go to this place. Would like to go in a big group so can try more dishes 😃. Located is Juhu and always get there easily.

I have a special experience with this spot. I came here in June 2023 when I was visiting India from New York. I was told this is THE spot for seafood and they were all right. Two years later and I still dream of coming back just for this food. I went twice, and I tried their Shrimp Curry with a white sauce, their butter chicken, some octopus and shrimp appetizers with their fish. All were incredible. Ive forgotten the name of every other indian restaurant ive been to in India, but not this one, and that really says something. If you guys ever decide to come to America, I'll be first in line every time.

Update: After visiting here for 20+ times I am updating my review. Don't ever go here, after being a regular customer here and paying service charges always because I was frankly okay with it but today they surpassed all their limits. The manger behaved like he offered the food for free and was forcing service tax saying it is mandatory regardless of it being not mandated by the govt. He was trying to ego bash us in paying it but i didn't care and removed it, he said this is the only time he is removing it. So this is the last time I am visiting here and not recommending anyone to go here; Your dishes are already overpriced over that you want to force the service charge for pathetic service? Which is not mandatory (they'll just force it regardless) Hope they start respecting customers 👍 Previous review: Amazing Experience at Mahesh Lunch Home, their staff is awesome and welcoming plus the sea food is next level.
