A-1 Fish Koliwada

Food Review: A Major Disappointment ​I truly believe one shouldn't speak ill of food, but I had an absolutely terrible experience here. ​We ordered the Prawns Koliwada and Crispy Chicken. Given the massive hype surrounding this restaurant, we expected the food to be exceptional. As a seafood lover—especially prawns fry—I was genuinely shocked from the very first bite. The Prawns Koliwada was completely tasteless; the spice profile was missing and there was no salt at all. ​To make matters worse, when my wife cut into a prawn, we realized they hadn't been cleaned properly. The digestive tracks (veins) were still inside. Every single prawn was like that, which completely ruined our appetite. On top of that, the dish was incredibly expensive. ​The Crispy Chicken ​The second dish was just as bad. It was so sour that after just one bite, we had to ask the waiter to pack it up. Neither my wife nor my kids could eat it—it was a total waste of money. I’ve had Crispy Chicken at many places, but this was the worst. Honestly, the local Chinese joint in my neighborhood makes it better. ​The Lesson Learned ​This experience taught me one thing: don't just rush to a restaurant based on an influencer's video. You have to check real reviews first. I have no idea what people actually like about the food there. My wife and I are beyond disappointed.
