Moonrakers Restaurant

The restaurant is over hyped. As you enter through the gate, you get a strong smell of variety of seafood. Ground floor was clumsy and the seating arrangement was not cleaned properly. We ordered Crab tawa fry, beef curry with rice and chicken fried rice. Crab dish was tasty. Beef curry was okayish. But chicken fried rice was disappointing. Although they portrayed a board 'Alcohol not allowed', you can get a bottle of beer if you ask the waiter. Options are limited. Try to grab a outside table, you won't get the strong fishy smell They even charge for the mouth freshener

Moonrakers Restaurant is a must visit in Mahabalipuram for seafood lovers! The variety of fresh seafood dishes is impressive, and the flavors are absolutely delicious. The portions are generous, and the taste is authentic with a perfect balance of spices. The ambiance has a laid back coastal vibe, and the service is warm and friendly, making the dining experience even better. A great spot to enjoy freshly cooked seafood with family and friends, highly recommended!

We ordered their squid and prawn butter garlic masala with rice.The food and ambiance was really good. The squid was my personal favourite. If you are looking for a seafood restaurant in Mahabalipuram, just go and enjoy the food @ moonrakers

It used to be my favourite over the years but now with time I can see the quality going down, inside was a strong smell so chose to sit outside but that table was infested with ants Food quality was average which was quite shocking The waiter was paid but then the cook came out and was expecting a tip also Request the management to take care of the basics and this has been a good place to dine but if nothing is done you might lose customers

The tawa fry prawn recipe is the most favourite dish of Moon raker. You can try red snapper fry and crab masala though it's expensive but you can try once. Could've been cleanliness and hygiene little more. Tastes are not the same when I experienced decades ago, and to be upgraded aa many same kind of restaurants flooded on the street. Please keep a beeda shop nearby aa many people were searching for it.

One of the best seafood restaurants in the area, I've been coming to this restaurant eversince I was a kid and I can assure you the quality of the food is still the same infact I feel it's become better. I highly recommend the calamari fry, tawa prawns, Lobster masala fry and fish tawa fry. All were amazing and truly heavenly with each bite, a must try for all travelers 50/10.

If you want to get fresh sea food with authentic south flavours. This is your go to place. If you are looking for ambience - not your place. If you’re a vegetarian not your place. Over all for sea food lovers - my family loved it. It gave me a nostalgic feel to sit at this place and eat when restaurants used to be small , and less spaced . The service team and chef are really polite and on top of their game. This is by far the best place for fish food - fresh , served with love and cost effective. They even showed us the fresh catch on the place. How authentic and true to their customers. How much our society has evolved and grown. A older millennial may relate to this.

Sea food at its best, must try Calamari fry, prawn fry and Masala fried fish. Got paarai fish (tamil) which was around 500 rupees is a bit overly priced. Prawn and Calamari were large in quantity.
