New Lighthouse Restaurant
An established seafood spot beside Marina Park, where you pick fish, crab and prawns from the display and have them cooked by weight; one of the most visited seafood restaurants among tourists.
Located near the aquarium entrance, between Marina Park and the Cellular Jail, this open-air seafood restaurant displays fish, crab, tiger prawns and lobster in glass tanks and cold cases. Diners choose their catch, which can be grilled, pan-fried or made into curry. Signatures include masala crab, pan-fried red snapper and pan-fried big prawns. Charcoal grilling is available only at dinner, and there is a bar on the second floor. Lunchtime is busy with visitors returning from Ross Island, and it is often full around 12:30. Seafood is priced by weight; a medium-sized pomfret costs about 700 rupees, and lobster is more expensive. Some reviews mention inconsistent hygiene and freshness, so check the catch before ordering.
