Chaitanya Restaurant
हॉटेल चैतन्य
Malvan's best-known traditional Malvani seafood restaurant, which has also opened a branch in Mumbai. Its fish thali and chicken with rice pancakes are famous.
Located on Dr Ballav Road (Somwar Peth), on the route from the market to the Malvan jetty. It is run by a local family and is simple and unpretentious. It is one of Malvan's best-known seafood restaurants and also has a branch in Mumbai. The signature dishes are surmai and pomfret rice thalis, masala prawns, fried prawns and sol kadhi, along with Malvani chicken served with fried rice pancakes (kombdi vade) and vegetarian snacks such as coriander cake. Sides other than the fish can be refilled. Expect a queue at mealtimes, and service is sometimes criticized as slow. It is within walking distance of the Malvan jetty and the ferry point for Sindhudurg Fort.
