If you want to try the real goan cuisine, you have to visit this place! Or just order online through zamato.. The goan fish curry and rice is the best over here...must try..
Bandra is all about sea food and there are some great places that cater to this cuisine but Soul fry has to be in top 3. They have these lunch thalis which are scrumptious and cost effective.
Weekends are when the restaurant is crowded most of the time and there is a waiting but it's worth it. Their prawns and rawas fish dishes are simply to die for.
Let me tell you why you should go here. Do not go by the ratings. Don't look for a fancy decor or expect young waiters or fancy cutlery. Their food is authentic Goan (for Bombay stds.) You will not find a place to stand on Monday because their Karaoke is unmatched. Go for the prawns and pork. Go for the old Bandra vibe, go for the experience not for a clichƩd dine. Go especially on a Monday or Thursday.

Yesterday dinner was preplanned at Soul Fry, a quaint Goan restaurant in the bylanes of Pali Hill, Bandra. My wifey had her heart set on the Crispy fried Bombils so that was ordered straight away. They were mildly spiced and deep fried to that Golden crispiness, where the Rawa batter is crunchy crispy and yet when you bite into the delicately tender flesh it just melts into your mouth. Next in quick succession arrived the Chicken Sukka. Boneless succulent pieces of chicken, tempered in ground coconut, garlic and Malwani spices... This was spicy but yummmmy šššThis was followed by Mutton Khuddi. Now this was a first for us. Boneless pieces of mutton in abundance, in a smooth and mildly spiced brown gravy. The tender pieces of mutton were cooked to that stage where it softly disappears in your mouth... and the taste of the East Indian spices comes thru every so tenderly. The chapatis, which we opted for, could have been softer. Overall a pleasant evening spent in a typical Goan place... Definitely going back for more.
An awesome place for Goan food, one of the best pomfret fish curry I have tasted. This is a must visit place if you are in Mumbai to taste authentic food
Known for its authenticity, this Goan-run restaurant serves my favorite prawns curry in the city. Soul fry is the kind of place where you'd want to visit regularly, not just for the food, but also for their service
Avoid Chicken if you're a fish eater and just stick to their specialties (sea-food). Located in Pali Hill, Soul fry is an ideal place for a casual date or even family get-together.

Had been to Soul fry with two other friends and enjoyed the interesting Goan delicacies! It's a simply done-up restaurant, no frills seating arrangement, plainly dressed waiters and no special ambience to speak of
But don't get put-off by lack of pomp and show; the food is really finger licking delicious! We started off with our drinks: Mojito, Margarita and lemon juice - all perfectly satisfactory. Our friend who had been to this place several times knew exactly what to order and we tried the superbly tantalising Prawn green chilly garlic and chicken Moelho. The chicken was so tender and the prawns in the green garlic paste wereĀ
Too good! Followed by main course of Prawn Peri Peri (in a red sweet n spicy curry) and prawn curry with rice. Food portions were adequate and service was also quite prompt. They also have home delivery and we later ordered these same dishes home, and they all turned out perfectly delicious!
Only regret was that though Sol Kadi was on their menu, that evening they said they didn't have it.
But all in all we had a wonderful dinner and the nondescript place really charmed us!
Visited soul fry on Sunday night and it was buzzing! We had the mutton sukha, prawns masala, pork sambaray, surmai rechedo fry, fried crispy bombil and the yetti fry...all dishes were perfectly prepared and succulent with flavour bursting out of every bite. To wash this all down we had yummy plum sangria's topped with fresh fruit! The staff is very attentive and prompt with their service even though the place was packed. Great place for informal lunch and dinner.
What can i say about this place, a lot actually!!
Food:
Crispy fried calamari
- standard stuff
Kolambi bhat
- okay but less prawns
Sungta Maria
- best thing here
Crispy fried prawns
- standard stuff
Mutton chops
- get this
Bombil
- standard and small
Squid recheado

Music:
Oh my God, this place has karaoke nights twice a week and on Sunday afternoon they have this guy who sings and makes people dance and sing along! You have been warned!!
Decor: going hard for the Goa look
Packaging: standard
Service: slow
Pricing: expensive, booze prices here are competing with a five star hotel and happy hours only 7.30-8.30 pm on weekdays, food is on the expensive side as well, considering price competitive restaurants nearby
Been here many a time so it definitely deserves a review.
Located near the Pali Fish Market it's the best place to try out some Goan cuisine.
Just dropped in without a reservation but they were kind enough to help us and make a table available inside. Since it was Sunday there was a few bands playing.
We started off with a couple of drinks.... Beer as it was hot outside and complimented it with some snacks.
Ordered a Crab Omelette and Crumb Fried Squid to compliment the Beers and had no complaints whatsoever with both dishes.Ā
For the Mains we had aĀ
Grilled Chicken Cafreal> 3/5Ā Ā
Goa Sausage Chilli Fry> 4/5
Ā Prawns Green Chilli Garlic> 5/5
Ā Pork Vindaloo> 4/5
Had a lovely afternoon and took us all the way to Goa :)

I'd heard about this place and was wanting to visit since the longest time. What better occasion than a lazy Sunday morning!! So I went all the way from Thane where I stay to experience this place.. I entered the restaurant and was earlier asked to sit in the open area since I was all by myself. But Mr. Meldin was very courteous to allow me have a seat inside. Lucky me, Walter was playing live and I just immersed myself into the relaxed vibe of the place as it transported me to Goa in no time. I called for a Simba Stout alongwith Sungta Maria(A must try), Bombil fry and Calamari in green chilli and garlic. The delectable prawn on crispy golden toast just melts in your mouth. The Calamari preparation too had a great taste and the portions were generous. The food was on the money and I just couldn't get enough of the ambience and the coterie as some of them requested me to dance and sing along with them. Johnny, Meldin and Walter also made sure that they played my request of 'Love will keep us alive' by Eagles and that made my day. All in all, a wonderful experience and a Sunday afternoon well spent in the company of beautiful people. Absolutely recommended if you're looking out for a chilled out homely vibe with some live music in the company of a merry crowd. And boy, you'd just be that extra lucky if Walter's performing...
Cheers guys!! I am definitely visiting again with my gang. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø #Goodvibesonly
Starting from entrance it was amazing decor small 2 frame is beauty of place
Full in Wednesday day night we had beer and couple of chicken and prawns stater nice test I love the place
And ambience 5***
Our constant adda when we want some delicious Bombil fry, reasonably priced gin and a Goa like vibe. The hygiene of this place is questionable though - a flying cockroach fell on me once! But, I continue to go there and enjoy the dim fairy lights, the warm service (mostly) and the delish Goan flavours.
Goan food at its best. this restaurant has been an the Pali mala (Pali market road) forever. They have beautiful fish & prawns thalis as well. Delicious Calcutta food too. A must try place .
The best seafood you will get in Pali hill. Small place. Ideal for a group of 5 friends. The ambience is will you a goan feel. The staff is quite friendly.
For somebody looking for a short visit to Goa do come here with your loved ones. The food is lip smacking and the ambience is magical. The staff is a bit lousy and they take time in responding to you but the owner is lovely person who guides you well.

Goan food in Mumbai means #Soulfry
Guys you will love this place if you are a Karaoke lover. There is Karaoke Night on every Monday.
Sungta Maria, Prawns Rechad and Chicken Green Chilly Garlic.
One and only Goan food specialist Restaurant in Bandra.
But Sad thing is the Master Chef Rawaji is no more. Food cooked by him was fantastic.
The only good place on Monday's;Karaoke on Monday's good fun. A good crowd as well.Ā
Wished they went on till a little more though.But highly recommended for Monday's in Bandra!
So it was my first time here, but I was surprised by super nice ambiance and service. We had an amazing experience here. Awesome service, thanks to Johnny, n mouthwatering Goan food, would love to come back any day.
Nice food.. quite and nice atmosphere, would recommend Goan sausage chilly fry with Pav. Service was good very courteous staff, Food was fresh over all nice place to chill on a week day
Soul Fry is a nice little restaurant. It has a casual ambiance. The service is prompt and sincere. The dishes are mostly well priced. You do get the Goan vibe here! Itās a must for sea food fans. I will be sure to make this a regular for my Mumbai visits.
A must visit for its relaxed ambience and great food! Our go to for their bombil rasa fry, prawn rocheido and Goan prawn curry with rice. Recently we also tried the Goan sausage chilly fry which lived upto itās recommendation.
The staff is warm and engages in great conversation.
Have been hearing about this place since many years and thought of giving this a try and must admit the place didnt disappoint me...Ordered for Steamed rice,Plain gravy and Bombil fry.The fish was fresh and cooked to perfection.For desert tried Bibinca which was ok...overall a nice place to catch up with friends over drinks and good food.
This is one of the best places for seafood lovers!
Cozy ambience. Good service.
Crab masala and bombil fry are a must try!
They have nice prawn curry!
Visited this place for the first time. Their masalas are excellent, fish was superb, they have to wonton their sol kodi. I am a Goan and a restaurateur too . Tisreo were mind blowing, but your staff I feel are on a cheating spree ... your visvon curry rice is costing 480/. Or abouts , but they charged me 480/. Plus for the rice and the curry, which was I feel a cheat . I am giving you 4 stars for ur quality and quantity, no star for your honesty...
It is good place to hangout with fish lovers. Ambiance give you feel of you are seating in Goan shack. Food is simply amezing in test, carries Goan flavor. I love this place...
If you don't try the goan style chicken and the prawn pulao you haven't lived. It's just too good. Itās my cheat day meal or once in a month meal n but it's worth it if you're a fan of goan food
Nice n cozy ambience , food was authentic Goan cuisine . Service average . Chicken Xacuti was lip smacking ..... feasted hard on prawns Sukha .
This was clearly a little darling, the service was great. The karaoke was loud but nice. The food was amazing. The ratnagiri chicken stole the show. The outdoor seating was lovely. Would be back for more
One of our all-time favorites for some amazing seafood and ambience.
Soul Fry is the place to visit if you're craving some Goan cuisine. The konkani masala played in the background sets the mood just right.
Here's what we recommend:
Chapta fried chicken - boneless pieces of fried chicken, which are cooked to perfection.. crisp from the outside and soft from the inside.
Chicken xacuti - a coconut based chicken gravy (brown, medium spicy), which goes really well with steamed rice or garlic Pao
Chicken green chili garlic - this one's a starter that's medium spicy and tastes really good but can be too oily
Overall, we definitely recommend visiting this place for a complete susegad experience š
Great goan styled restaurant with awesome food must try the tambde komdi and their sea foods, don't miss out thier karaoke nights. Located in pali market.
This is the type of place that you get nostalgic about with your friends.. :) spent so many evenings here over the years just taking in the goan atmosphere and tucking in some yum food with plenty of beer ofcourse.. !!
ordered from here after a while though.. the Prawns pulao was just perfect.. the Coondapur Koli Thalna was something i tried for the first time though and that was yummy as well.. a maharashtrian curry which goes perfectly with the bhakri or pao.. love their Teesri Sukha Masala and squids in Green Chilly Garlic .. both are a must try.. !!
One of my favourite place for Goan seafood and might not get bored of it either. I keep ordering and also visit this place often. Must must try is the prawns in chilli garlic sauce as an appetiser. In mains, had the coondapur koli thalna, it is chicken curry in coondapur style which tasted Yumm with roti and pav both. Can be eaten with rice too. In sweets, they only had bibinca. I feel they should definitely add some sweets to their menu to make it a perfect meal. Quick and great service. Will keep visiting.
Was here on my last visit to Mumbai. The ambience is good, the food is better, the energy is excellent. Loved the experience. Will cost again.
I have been here so many times that I have lost count. It has the best sea food at decent prices. Everything is good... Bombil, shell fish, fish curry, prawn curry.. All outstanding. Sea food needs to be fresh to enjoy and i think this place has mastered the art of finding the best sea food. Please book before you go, you won't get a table if you don't.
Love the food here. Authentic flavours especially the Goan food. Haven't tried the others. Their fish curry, fried bombils, tisro sukha, mutton crumb fried chops,etc, All just the way my grandma used to make - passed down the generations. Absolutely delicious. This is the place you need to come to if you want authentic food, no gimmicks.
This place is great with some awesome food served great services by their f&b staff, wonderful ambience, it even has a small bar at the corner, #mustvisit
Fish - Curry ; Mumbai is known for this combination, and this place never disappoints; itās so consistent every time.
Service is prompt; I love the old school bandra vibe it represents, itās survived the test of time.
Lifts the soul..
keep cooking & keep serving
This place is amazing food makes me feel like I'm in goa back again,here again the management well trained its all about the food must visit
The Best Goan Food I've had in Mumbai! Absolutely delicious, the Goan Prawn Curry is to die for! Authentic sol kadhi, worth every penny. Absolutely amazing, highly recommended
Ordered
Crispy Bombils - Had the best Bombay Ducks of my life.
Mutton Sukka- Mutton rightly cooked..with the right consistency of the gravy..
Ambience- The typical Goan interior and the country music compliments the entire theme.
Courtesy Staff, prompt service.
Aching for comfort food. Soul fry in Bandra is a true hidden gem, serving authentic Goan soulfood! š. Tag a Bandra bugger š. Must visit this restaurant.
My personal favourite in Bombay. The prawnĀ reichadoĀ and the teesriĀ sukha masala are absolutely delicious. The peri peri prawn is also very good. The quality of the food and speed of delivery never fail to disappoint. The staff is always welcoming.Ā
Highly recommend for some of the best coastal food in the city at a great price.
Soul fry is a quaint little place that gives major goa feels and reminded me strikingly of a laid back goan diner. We spent a nice sunday evening sipping port wine and enjoying the delicious food.
What we had-
1. Prawn rechaedo
2. Butter garlic crab
3. Tisrya dabdabit
4. Fish curry rice
Being a goan, i am quite particular and critical about sea food served in restaurants . I could find no fault with any of the dishes though. The fish, prawns, crab and clams were all fresh and the preparations were delicious. We washed it down with some refreshing and tasty solkadhi.
There was just one issue when we were there-mosquitos. But other than that, a good experience
Would love to visit again.

It was Croatia vs England when we had visited soul fry. The match was exciting and so was the food. We were in a big group and so I didn't get time to click food pictures except from groupfies. Anyway, the food was delicious. Especially Dum-Aloo and the paneer and Beer being a perfect add on to it. This place in bandra has a great Varients of dishes to choose from.

The warm & inviting vibe of this place makes you feel like you're no longer in Mumbai but at some wonderfully chic Goan diner near Baga. This place is famous for it's Monday Night Karaoke sessions & is famous among it's regulars. The goan dal is what you want to order here with the pao. I tried the bombil fry which was excellent. The batter was done perfectly & it had just the right amount of crunch. The prawn curry was disappointing to me because I was expecting the flavour profile to be a bit more (kokum heavy). The texture of the curry was just right but after adding some lime & salt to it, it felt a little bit closer to how I usually like it. The manager was friendly & a squabbling couple's grouse with him was handled wonderfully by him. They were upset about not getting a very specific table & I heard him gently tell him "I want you to stay & enjoy your food sir". There was a certain earnest quality to the manager. Maybe that's why people keep coming back to this place. Does it serve the best goan food in town? I'm not sure. I do love O Pedros very much.. but this place has just the right personality for a lazy Sunday dinner with a small group of friends who like food from Goa. Go here if you're ever in Bandra West. I need to try more items off their menu.
Was looking for some home style simple food. I came across Soul Fry in the grocery/vegetables market street and decided to try it out.
Chicken Pulao was good, but not special so I didn't try anything else.
The ambience reminds one of Goa style shack restaurants. Nice!
Worth a visit, and if I visit again, I would try a few other items before giving a final verdict.
This place is all about AMAZINGLY YUMMY FOOD.. we happen to order 3 of their dishes- Bombil Rava Fry, Peri Peri Chicken Masala , Chicken Sukhe and Bhakri and the flavours specially of the Peri Peri masala Chicken and Chicken Sukhe were on point.. be it seafood or meat this place never disappointsš¤¤š
Seriously great seafood at down to earth prices. Go on a Sunday and you will find most customers know each other. Seems to be a local favourite and the food doesn't disappoint. Prawns, clams, bombil, rawas, squid - all pretty good without seriously making a hole in your wallet!
Space is limited and service can be demanding but food is usually good. Parking is a bit of a problem - we always end up parking very far away and walking to the restaurant.
The Goan Fish Curry rice, sliced surmai and all squid preparations are mind blowing. I love their food, i've visted multiple times, i've ordered in, they never fail to impress.
This place needs no reviews. They have been going at it for years. This is one fish joint in Mumbai that Ullu has to visit. Not to review it but to enjoy it! So much so that Ullu even forgot to click pictures of the fried bombil and rawas rechado Ullu had as starters before this yummylicious prawns curry.

Visited this Restaurant with family at 11 pm.
To appreciate
1. Food taste - great
2. Kids friendly - considers family with kids with good courtesy
3. Staff is cooperative and courteous.
Nice place to relish Goan , seafood, and not north indian touch...
Great place to be.....
amazing food and ambience. Thanks to my fellow Bengali mate who insisted on visiting this place. Definitely worth your money. Was quite hungry so didn't get to do the karaoke there.
We ordered pork vindaloo , chicken xacuti and bhakri . What great food.
A slice of Goa right here in Bandra... very good ambience and service. Good food and good crowd as well. Tried the Squid chilly garlic, Chicken piri piri and Kolambi Bhat - all cooked well. Definitely coming back again for my Goa fix
Thanks to #MeldanDaCunha and our group, I discovered this place; my wifeĀ and I went there for lunch over the weekend.
Soul Fry, located in Pali Market is famous for Goan and coastal dishes. The delectable Coastal cuisine is what makes this place a must-visit. I decided to try this place out - especially since there are very few places in Mumbai where you can relish on these dishes.Ā
Brilliant food at #SoulFry. The #MalvaniChickenFry to be had with pav bread is to die for. So is their wine cocktail - #TintoDeVerano. Their prawn Gassi is definitely better than what you get at Mahesh Lunch Home.
The service here was brilliant too. The staff ensured really knew what they were serving us and knew all that went into the food.
The ambience will give you a Goan vibe with Mario Miranda's sketches hanging all over and a small bar.
#foodporn #Foodgram #Foodgasm
Thanks for the recommendations Meldan Dcunha
The thali that we ordered, both vegetarian and non vegetarian was very good. The starters - prawn koliwada was excellent šš¼ and so was the crispy bombil. The mojito was good... but a little too sweet for my taste. The thali takes a while to get ready, all in all an wonderful lunch with my colleagues.
An unassuming, authentic Goan style restaurant/bar tucked away in Bandra. The atmosphere felt like being at someoneās home with the lighting, decor and music which was great. The food (ordered fish fry and curry) was also very wholesome and tasty, however watch out for the taste of coconut oil incase you donāt like it or arenāt used to it. Overall a super homey and fun vibe at Soul Fry. Definitely the kind of place you could become a regular at!
If you plan to come to this place to have a fun evening, you can never go wrong, they just know how to have a good time! The karaoke vibe is like no other and the Goan cuisine? Finger licking good!!!
Just 4 stars considering that the staff were slow and inattentive.
The Pomfret Rechaad was over fried in a little too much oil, the chicken in the Chicken Xacuti was diced too small.
What a lovely find! Absolutely adorable vibe, with people jiving between tables and fab karoke ...loved the mix of people of all ages. The food is delicious!!! And service quick

If you don't care for the razmatazz of the restaurant ans just need good soul satisfying Goan food in the heart of Mumbai , this would be the place. While I am no expert on Goan cuisine , I have tasted at a few places and this place surely reminds me of the small authentic Goan village restaurants. Was glad that I read about them opening in Goa and learnt about they having started in Bandra ( yes it's the other way around here š) ...
The Calamari Green Chilly Garlic was good in starters but the Prawns Richada was awesome. We also had a paneer green chily garlic and we're not disappointed by the quality of the paneer ( yes, yes ...some of us are vegetarian š)
The Prawns Balchao and the Goan Sausage Chilly Fry for main course was amazing too.
While we didn't have the Mutton or Chicken Xacuti, my wife liked the mixed veg Xacuti so I presume you won't go wrong with the non veg version as well.
The cocktails were also nice but a bit heavy on the ice than necessary I felt.
The only thing stopping me from giving it a perfect 5 star was the portion or quantity of each serving. But definitely would visit here once again !
Oh and as usual for Bandra, don't think of finding parking anywhere close so better leave for gas guzzlers at home !

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Soul Fry in the heart of Pali Hill, Bandra West, and it was nothing short of a magical experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to the picturesque beaches of Goa. The vibe was not just phenomenal; it was utterly immaculate, creating an ambiance that felt like a Goan paradise right in the heart of Mumbai.
The Goan cuisine at Soul Fry was an absolute revelation. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, leaving me in awe of the flavors and authenticity. The delectable dishes were droll-worthy, and I couldn't get enough of the exquisite taste that danced on my taste buds.
But the real highlight of the night was the karaoke. It added an extra layer of entertainment and fun to the whole dining experience. The host was exceptional, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and enjoyment that made everyone feel like part of a big, happy family.
Soul Fry at Pali Hill, Bandra West, is not just a restaurant; it's a magical journey to Goa, filled with amazing food, incredible vibes, and unforgettable memories. I can't recommend it enough, and I'm already planning my next visit. It's a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food and a fantastic atmosphere.
A quaint place, with some good live singing. A special shout out, to Vincent for his good customer service.
Outstanding meal! I will no more miss Goa, their food is so authentic!
Service is exemplary warm and personalized.
I strongly recommend it to all food lovers!
Oh man what a place! Proper Goan vibes on this one. Having lived in Goa for couple of years and a frequent visitor, this had the typical Goan setup with food to match up as well. OK, alright, nothing can come close to authentic Goan cuisine but man did this place come close! It's been sometime since I saw surmai(King fish) size that big in Mumbai. Service, food place everything was as per the theme of the restaurant... I hear Monday and Friday are Karaoke nights and I'm Def. planning another trip on one of these days.
A cool place to hang out with friends. Their seafood is delicious. Specially the prawns green chilli garlic and pomfret recheado fry was worth it. I really enjoyed the seafood here. The owners are very good and make sure that all the customers are served and treated well. The service is outstanding. The ambience is good and lively for young crowd who like to hang out with their friends. They do have karoke on weekdays.
Pretty expensive in comparison to other local places, but the food was good, the decor was interesting, and the AC was refreshing.
Visited this place after about 6 years. Remains the same.
Food is good, service was quick & live karaoke is the best.
We had bombil fry, chilly prawns & surmai recahdo fry with a couple of drinks.
Sungta Maria is a must order. Karaoke nights are the best. Service is great and the vibe is just phenomenal
We tired pork vindaloo and some chicken dish (Donāt know the name) both seriously tasty
Very soothing ambience... Not easily visible from Pali naka ... In the lane that leads up to Pali hill
Good variety of goan cuisine... Very well prepared dishes..
Smooth service & Price a Lil above moderate
Alcohol available too
It was Wednesday i.e. Karaoke night..budding singers and regulars belting out classic songs till midnight
