Born from the Heart of Konkan

🌊

Our story began in 2018, born from a shared love for Anjali’s cherished Malwani kitchen and the heartfelt desire of both mother and daughter-in-law, Poonam, to welcome others into its warmth.

For years, Anjali’s mastery of traditional flavors—from her fragrant coconut curries to her perfectly spiced coastal fry—was a family treasure, until the two decided to build a home for those recipes together. Today, our restaurant is an extension of their partnership, where every dish is prepared with the same authenticity, care, and spirit of togetherness that has always defined their family table.

"We don't just serve food. We serve memories of the Konkan coast — the sound of waves, the smell of coconut, the warmth of a family meal."

Today, 8 years later, the Pardeshi family proudly continues that promise. Our masalas are still freshly ground every morning, our seafood still arrives from the shores of Malvan, and every dish from our kitchen is prepared with the same passion, tradition, and love that started it all.

The Konkan Heritage

🐠

The Konkan coast of Maharashtra — stretching from Thane to Goa — is home to one of India's most distinctive and flavourful cuisines. Shaped by the Arabian Sea, lush coconut groves, and centuries of coastal tradition, Malvani food is a living heritage that we proudly carry forward.

🥥

Coconut at the Core

Every Malvani gravy begins with freshly grated coconut — roasted, blended, or pressed into rich milk. It's the soul of Konkan cuisine, giving every dish its signature creaminess.

🌶️

The Malvani Masala

Our signature red masala is a 15-spice blend that includes Malvani chilies, coriander, cumin, star anise, and dried coconut — hand-ground each morning just as it has been for generations.

🌊

Seafood Culture

The fishing communities of Sindhudurg have always lived in harmony with the sea. Their deep knowledge of fish varieties, seasons, and preparation is woven into every dish we serve.

Authentic Malvani Cooking

🍳

We believe that great food begins long before the flame is lit. Our kitchen follows traditional Malvani methods that prioritise freshness, patience, and flavour at every step.

1

Morning Masala Grinding

Our head chef grinds the Malvani masala fresh each morning using traditional stone grinders. No pre-packaged spices — ever.

2

Fresh Coconut Extraction

Coconuts are grated and pressed to extract fresh first-press milk, forming the base of all our signature gravies and curries.

3

Slow-Cooking Tradition

Curries are slow-cooked over measured heat to allow spices to bloom fully and flavours to develop their characteristic Malvani depth.

4

Marination & Rawa Fry

Fried items are marinated in our house masala for a minimum of 2 hours, then coated in semolina and pan-fried to order.
