The Konkan

“Food Adventure is a mesmerising and exuberant journey. Chefs are artists who always surprise and surpass expectations with their masterpieces”

As the name suggests, Konkan is a new restaurant serving Coastal Maharashtrian and Mangalorean Cuisine, which has the future potential to become the most preferred in the category. It is located in the heart of Namma Bengaluru on MG Road. Some restaurants are stars that we love to keep visiting while some have incredible dishes make us come back craving for more.

Food- Fantastic traditional and familiar homely taste. Impressive plating on banana leaf. Chicken Ghee Roast was outstanding. The richness and flavour of the masala is a delight to the palate. Not to forget the appetising aroma. Chicken pieces were succulent. No sooner had it  arrived at the table than it was wiped clean immediately. It indeed is one of my favourite on the menu and would definitely recommend. Butter garlic Squid was exemplary. It was fried well and the batter imparted crunchiness. Prawns were Remarkable. Fresh, piquant and soft with a wonderful marination to relish.  It is an excellent combination with the mouth watering neer dosa. Fish Curry was superb with perfect thickness, texture and spice. Red rice was something extraordinary for me and was delicious. Ragi Manni Dessert is brilliant. It has the right sweetness and looks like a wobbly Caramel pudding. However Mocktails are average and can be improved. (9/10)

Ambience- Simple decor. Nothing spectacular yet classy. Family dining room layout with wooden floor, elegant white walls adorned with beautiful paintings and posters. Spacious arrangement despite being a small place. Square or rectangular tables with comfortable chairs. Marvellous viewfrom the bay windows. Light music in the background. Quite and calm atmosphere. Amazing lights. (7/10)
Service- Bit Slow. Waiters need to be more efficient, quick and courteous. Hospitality can be a little better for a finer dining experience. Kitchen needs to be stocked with adequate quantity to cater to all customers. There should be a coordination/ sync between the preparation time to when the food is served. Nevertheless, it was splendid interacting with the owners and learning about their passionand entrepreneurial journey. Valet parking is available. (6/10)
Pricing- Moderately High. Neither very pocket friendly nor too expense. But there is value for money and is worth the amount for their impeccable quality. An enjoyable meal overall and a nice evening well spent. Will surely visit again. (8/10)
