Mumbai · Konkan & Malwani seafood

Jai Hind Lunch Home

The lunch home Mumbai trusts for coastal flavour — hirva masala, pulimunchi, ambotic curries, and crab that needs no introduction.

Why people queue

From the original Pali Naka address to outlets across Bandra, Dadar, and Lower Parel, Jai Hind Lunch Home built its name on rare masalas, generous thalis, and seafood cooked the Konkan way — bold, tangy, and unmistakably Mumbai.

Regulars swear by butter garlic crab, stuffed bombil and crab, surmai and pomfret thalis, prawns pulimunchi, and a glass of solkadi to finish. Bollywood, office crowds, and families who have eaten here for years all share the same verdict: famous for taste.
