This unassuming spot might just serve some of the best fried prawns in the city. The tiny interiors and no-frills ambiance could easily mislead a first-time visitor, but the food quickly sets the record straight. The prawns are succulent and perfectly cooked, encased in a crisp, red coloured batter that achieves just the right balance of texture and flavour. The accompanying green chutney is a standout, adding a zesty punch that elevates the dish to another level. At Rs. 234 for a modest 150g portion, it’s not exactly a budget option, but the quality makes it a fair deal. These prawns would pair beautifully with a chilled beverage of your choice if you’re planning a casual meal at home. That said, there’s a certain charm in enjoying them right there, standing on the street. The service is quick, making it a convenient stop before catching a movie at the nearby Metro Theatre. Whether you’re in the mood for fried fish, chicken, prawns, or Pomfret, this spot delivers a consistently satisfying, indulgent experience—a classic that’s earned its reputation in the area.
