Restaurant known for sea food.
We ordered:-
Prawns excellenssea:- just so yumm! Couldn’t resist yourself from not wanting more.
Butter chicken:- on an average a decent butter chicken 🍗
Surmai tawa fry masala:- dissatisfied, as the gravy wasn’t at all up to the mark. Tasted v weird.
Fish quality was good, gravy wasn’t.
Neer dosa:- fluffly soft and amazing
Quantity:- 4/5
Quality:- 5/5
Pricing:- 3/5
A bit on costlier side.
Overall a decent experience.
Located in Fort this place serves the best seafood
The ambience is nice with dim lights and the food is worth the cost.
We ordered
Pomfret tawa fry-₹1300
The fish was nice and juicy with a perfect blend of their typical fish masala
Prawns gassi-₹380
with a slight taste of coconut and prawn curry it was yum and taste better with neer dosa
Prawn dum biryani-₹400
Fish dum biryani-₹400
The biryanis were loaded with spices less oil and the quantity is sufficient for 2 persons
Overall a must try if you crave for seafood.
This cool seafood restaurant was my Mumbaikar cousin's recommendation. There were live crab and a great assortment of seafood here.
We chose one of the large crabs, and were asked to try it cooked in an Indian coastal gravy, and I feel butter garlic would have suited it better. Our shrimp dish was amazed and served in ExcellenSEA sauce I'd definitely recommend it. Neer dosa was an interesting accompaniment, kind of like a really soft and thin dosa.

We were here for the Bombil Fry, and it did not disappoint! This was our first time trying this fish, one side recommending that fish while others discouraged us from trying it. We actually liked it! The flesh of Bombil is extremely delicate, so kudos to the chef's for frying them in a sturdy breading to keep them in one piece. The fish is not 'fishy' at all, or and not strong tasting, there were a briny flavour to the fish that's delectable and fresh-tasting.
We also had the house-specialty prawns, which was nice. I also ordered Vegetable Dum Briyani, which was quite good and I was happy with the amount of vegetables in it!
My friend, who aren't a fan of seafood and further scared off by the negative opinions on Bombil, ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan.
Chicken Tikka Masala was very nice and juicy, with a delicately nutty and lemon-y marinade. The Garlic Naan, however, was overcooked to a hard cracker which made eating somewhat difficult.
We ended up sharing our dishes, including the Bombil Fry (Taste-tested by yours truly first). We were also provided with warm lemon water in small metal bowls to wipe out hands clean after the meal (and the ubiquitous aniseed and sugar palate cleanser).
We were seated on the second floor, which is set up like a lounge bar, with the dimly lit rooms and leather chairs and sofas. It's not a setup aimed for younger diners, but the food is good and the service is quite thorough.

As the name suggests this is a seafood speciality restaurant. Really Good food nice staff. Highly recommends for non veg lovers.............
As the name suggests, specialising in sea food.
Fish, prawns, squid and u name it.
The freshest from the sea.
In fact they show u the fish size and catch it from their tank...
Not pocket friendly though for the budget foodies
Best sea food restaurant in mumbai. Have been coming to this place since ages. Its been renovated and looks good. I prefer to go on a Saturday night because its less crowded and the food is amazing. The seafood is fresh and there are lot of variety they make the dishes in. Price wise its not that expensive like other seafood hotels.
Ambience : 3.5/5. The ambience is kind of ok. Nothing great. The first floor needs to be well lit.
Service: 3/5. Service was really really slow. Maybe they were short on staff but everything was taking more than twice the time.
Food: 4/5. The only good thing in the entire experience. Their surmai fry is brilliant. We ordered 3 slices. Nothing beats this.
Prawns in excellensea sauce was a lovely dish as well. It was a semi dry dish with a thick green sauce. Definitely give this a try.
Their chicken starters were strictly average. Won't recommend this.
Chicken sukka dish in main course is worth a try.
Neer dosas were half the size of the actual neer dosas that you get in other places which was a disappointment.
Tried their sol curry as well. Was a refreshing drink.
Worth visiting this place for their seafood :)
One of the best sea food restaurants around. The fish curry taste has not changed over so many years. Very highly recommended for sea food lovers. The prices though have become a tad too high making it expensive for customer like me.

Went on Sunday late night....dimly lit interiors done up in black...head height is a little worry but warm and courteous staff and fresh and spicy seafood makes up for the inconvenience....ordered bombay duck which was fresh and crispy....rawas masala Fry was perfectly done and masala was rightly engulfed with the meat and accompanied with neer dosa with the perfect texture and softness...ordered sol kadi which was a little spicy harsh on the throat but can be corrected though...overall a good gastronomic experience
Located in fort, superb restaurant but very few old people know about it.
Interior is done beautifully and point to point keeping eye on their theme which is fish. It’s a small but very cozy place. Fish tank looks superb in the restaurant.
We were wanted to have quick dinner so we went to this restaurant and we were very happy at the end of the meal with our decision.
Bombay duck fry- superb rawa fried crispy bombil. A perfect starter with your favourite beer.
Prawn Gassi- Tiger prawns cooked in perfect mangelorean style curry can go best with neer dosa.
To sum up, can say that certainly a wow place if you are true fish lover. Must visit if you are in nearby area.
A very regular place for a normal meal or some indulgence, the catch is very fresh and cooked very well, apart from the sea food that everyone is already raving about the Gassi, the Ghee roast and the Sukka are above par.
I visited this place for the first time thanks to friend who raved about the quality of sea food and boy was she right!! This is some of the freshest seafood i have had in Mumbai (trust me! I have travelled all over Mumbai searching for good sea food). This place definitely features in my "recommend" list. Loved the surmai, rawas, prawns, pomfret, squids. I missed the tiger prawns and crabs but i will go back soon to taste the same. The staff is very friendly and give good recommendations. Ignore the ambience.
Another restaurant which I feel is under rated. I am a big fan of seafood and this restaurant served some finger licking food today. Usually I prefer eating seafood at my few regular restaurants where I know the fish is going to be fresh. Now I can add this one to my list as they serve fresh fish.
Preparation is mind blowing. They have variety of dishes for all type of sea foods. Staff at the restaurant greeted and were very helpful. Ambience is amazing for few drinks and food.
We ordered--
Prawns in xlac- green colour prawns starter made of mint garlic and coconut oil
Surmai tawa fry- red coloured masala fry
Prawns biryani - big fresh prawns and crispy onion on top added flavour, we loved the biryani! Very few restaurant in Mumbai actually serve this kind of prawns biryani.
Enjoyed food and will surely come back !
Not being an extremely huge fan of sea food,this place definitely beats every Indian seafood outlet in Mumbai, because this is literally freshly made food being served to you, unlike other restaurants where everything with a gashi tastes the same. Guys, you must try their King Prawns in Excellensea sauce, it's mind blowing!
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Went back to Bharat Excellensea after 13 long years today. The low ceilings and the dimly lit dining hall give you the ambience of a fishing boat. As you enter, there is a boat full of large mud crabs, one of which may end up on your plate. Then you cross over a ground level aquarium to climb a run of stairs to the dining area.
The menu is vast - coastal, North Indian and Chinese cuisine with an emphasis on seafood. You are then presented with samples of pomfret, prawns, Rawas and crab for your selection, and you will definitely have those moments of dilemma for choosing what you desire.
We couldn't resist the Crab Butter Garlic - it is highly recommended. It's light and flavourful. King prawn in Excellensea Sauce (green) is another discovery today - myriad flavours that stir up the appetite. Bombil fry, fish in red sauce, egg fried rice, Surmai Gassi and Neer Dosa round up the main course. The Sole Kadi is a must for an appetising drink.
This is a very old restaurant with a strongly loyal clientele. If you are a seafood fanatic, please don't miss this 5 star outlet.Sonali Mukhopadhyay
This place is really awesome, I don't know why it doesn't have much reviews on Zomato! This place has great ambience and really good staff!
The food was more tasty than I imagined!
Prawns In Excellence Sauce is a must try!
Chicken Malai Kebab was very tender and tasty!
Prawns Gassi was okay-okay!
Mixed Schezwan Fried Rice was very tasty!
Fresh Lime Water was fresh and good!
Order any gravy and along with it a Neer Dosa, people generally eat like this here!
This place is really great and must visit for all sea food lovers!
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
This was my first visit to this restaurant but I had a good positive vibe. Upon entering they have a fountain showcase, the one where water keeps sliding down from one slide of the glass. It gives you the feel of watching from the inside, heavy rains pouring outside. We got ourselves comfortable on the first floor seating area. The seating area is dimly lit, which is enough since it gives you a candle light feel, without the candles.
They have a pretty good bar menu, but thats about it. They actually serve hardly 3 to 4 brands of liquor. Not much of a choice there. So me and my friends ended up having a couple of beers and then moving on to gin. The liquor rates are pretty decent for a bar that serves on peg system.
The food is the highlight!!! I am a sucker for fish and this is exactly what they offer the best. 90% of their menu is fish based dishes, so you have plenty of choice. But there is only so much your stomach can handle in a seating (sigh). So for starters we ended up ordering Rawas tawa fry. The fish literally melted in my mouth and was yummy! For the main course we ordered Pomfret Gassi and Neer Dosas. Yes, they serve Manglorean. Yes, it is amazing. The thing about a Gassi dish is that not many people might enjoy it if the right mix of spices are not used. This is not the case here, the dish is perfect. The Neer Dosas too are amazing.
All in all a must visit place. I will, there is a lot on that menu that needs exploring!
This is a MUST VISIT for good sea food~
I'm surprised the ratings of this restaurant is this low.
It is by far one of the best sea food restaurants I've been to in Mumbai! Never disappoints!
Always served with fresh sea food cooked fantastically.
Be it butter garlic prawns, lobsters, crabs or curries or simple fish fry!
It's is expensive, but worth it!
Super delighted to be welcomed beyond their lunch closing hours, as we were late for our Birthday celebrations food is lipsmaking good, went by the order takers reccomendation which was phenomenal. This place is surely to be visited again, friendly and cheerful ambience which thus compliments the food
Seafood !! My dad's most fav since he's being visiting this place last 15yrs!
Surmai fry with ghasi and neer dosa is to be absolutely must try !!
Tried their chicken biryani was total let down.
Even the veg meal is average.
So, summing up go here for seafood!
Decent ambaince and good staff.
Bit pricey since seafood are specialty here.
Known to be one of the oldest seafood places in town. We ordered a tandoori pomfret (was big the picture shows half) and it was the freshest fish I've had. The prawns curry and neer dosa was even brilliant! The restaurant is a little more expensive (Rs.1700 for a single pomfret) than other similar places but anything for this taste. The service was quick, the place is dimly lit and neat, the ambience can be made better by playing some music.
Good place, peaceful. Good service, very good and fresh food, specially the prawn green masala and the bombay duck. Been there several times and always been satisfied.
This place serves all kind of sea food , if you wanna eat crabs you get to choose among different types of crabs which are alive point out which crab you ant and they will coock that for you. Affordable place . Ambience is good . You should try the "paaplet fry" its effin tasty . Lobsters are only available between 1-4pm after that lobsters wont be available so make your gamble wisely.
This place serves coastal cuisine, specialising in sea food. The quality of food is great. The ambience needs a lot of improvement. Staff needs to coordinate better with each other for an improved customer experience.
This place serves some truly amazing seafood! I've been going here since the time the bar was downstairs. Thank goodness they refurbished the place and took the bar up, so now the downstairs area is a family restaurant. The place is redone and it's not the well made by the food is truly mouthwatering. We usually for for the seafood biryani - yummiest of all! The fry fish is also yum- pomfret, surmai or even the Bombay duck! Sol kadi is brilliant. They even serve appam with your curries incase you like them. The crab curry too is beyond anything you've tasted! Here is the place where you can pick your catch and they will make it for you. A definitely all time place!
Were here for new years, nice n calm place. Had a crab curry with neer dosa which was suggested by them and that was a wonderful. In short enjoyed the time in there.

Manglorean food is my absolute favorite kind of food. So its outrageous that i hadn't visited this age old restaurant that is apparently a legend in the Fort seafood scene. Wanna start off by saying that my rating is 3.75, which i rounded off. An average rating by no means. The food here packs a punch but out of all the "Legendary" restaurants i tried, Excellensea was the least memorable. Definitely worth a try though but not a place I'd visit while Mahesh, Apoorva, Trishna and even the seafood king of Vile Parle, Harish Lunch Home still exist.
My folks have been visiting this place for eons but i was told that the restaurant has recently been refurbished. The first thought that enters your head when you enter the place is HOW BADLY BHARAT EXCELLENSEA WANTS YOU TO TRY THEIR SEAFOOD. The name is a pun on the sea, the interiors of the restaurant are filled with fish wallpapers and you have the sea-themed decorations as well. You have to be a little retarded to visit Excellensea and not have seafood.
Coming to what we ordered (Keep in mind I've visited every Manglorean restaurant in the city and i believe i know my Bambaiya Manglorean well) -
My date wanted to order the drunken fish, the prawns in fancy chinese sauces, etc etc. But Bharat Excellensea is a Shetty joint through and through. How can you visit a place famed for its spicy Manglorean curries and order a fish in whiskey sauce? I won the argument and we went forward with my choices. Which in retrospect was a good decision. The food was great but not mind blasting, unfortunately. Not mindblasting, the way it is in Apoorva or Mahesh. If a restaurant can't blow you away with its signature, old-school food, how can it blow you away with its more modern cuisine? Thats how i look at it but i might be wrong. If you're feeling up for it, order the fish in whiskey sauce and all the other jazzy food items on the menu, and let me know if i was wrong.
Specifics of our order:-
1)Butter Garlic crab meat: Best dish of the meal. If you've read my other Manglorean restaurant reviews you'll notice how every restaurant has that ONE dish thats a cut above its counterparts in other restaurants. One place makes its gassi better, the other makes its pulimunchi better. This was the best butter garlic crab/squid/prawn I've sampled. Not overly spicy, just the right amount of grease and perfect seasoning. Not to mention the fabulously fresh meat that's a staple of most Fort restaurants.
But from here the meal went (EXTREMELY MARGINALLY) downhill.
2)Gassi: A bit too runny for my liking but good taste. Not out of the world.
3)Pulimunchi: Had read on an article on the internet about how Excellensea's signature dish is their pulimunchi. I assure you, it isnt. Thats all I'm gonna say.
4)Sukka : Great taste. Not memorable though. Have had better sukkas with a better amount of meat.
5)Squid ghee roast: Have had ghee roasts miles ahead of this one. To make the experience more tepid, the squid was very tough :(
6)Neer Dosas: Best neer dosas I've had in an y Manglorean joint. A crucial litmus test when it comes to these kind of places. The neer dosas were like delicate virgins bathed in rice flour. Mind blasted. Credit. Where. Its. Due.
Overall, I'm obviously not disappointed. Some stellar punches in this split decision performance.
Will possibly visit again to sample their drunken fish and co. Till then Bharat Excellensea is a solid 3.75, but a weak 4.0.
Been here quite a few times and was slightly disappointed especially when I had invited a foreign friend who is originally from Mangalore for lunch and found the bombay duck and prawns a bit stale. Otherwise have had great seafood out here mostly but the prices are a bit too high for the seafood.
One of the best places for sea food. Great service and good food. The tandoori pomfret is a killer! Ambience is ok. Easy to reach. Did not get valet service though.
First of all I liked their plate it was a seashell. It's a heaven for fish lovers...authentic mangalorian food available felt like home specially the fish curry and chutney..and they have a few fish on display u can choose among them and the size too...must visit
Arguably the best when it comes to choosing seafood diners in South Bombay at least. Have always enjoyed the pomfrets out here, simply amazing !! there's a lot to choose from depending on your budget and the place welcomes you through a wide array of fresh catch from the sea !!
A place for amazing sea food @ Fort! Nice ambience & good service, One must try their Fish Gassi, it tastes great!!! A bit expensive but taste is worth the money
Its the best seafood place in Bombay. Best. Better than pricey gazalee lost trishna ok mahesh. Prawn gassi and tandoori rawas or crabs or anything is fresh and super tasty. Go there for sure at lunch eat a lot. Don't want to write anything more. Go
For a long time this place has been serving amazing fresh,yes really fresh sea food ,be it lobsters ,crabs its just the best and they got it.The clams sukka,prawns in green sauce(u can ask the chef),crab and surmai fry is just amazing.Pure Heaven on earth for a food lover. Solkadi just adds up more to it. But Lately they have increased the cost of all their best dishes by 50 to 150rs.But still its value for money and u will feel it in each bit of prawns or crab u take it .A must visit place for sea food lover .Enjoy eating :)
Serves some best lip smacking FRESH seafood this place is great for those who want to have the food accompanied by some high spirits.
Family seating is provided on the first floor.
Ambience is quite inviting and lively. This plates promotes seafood and us quite awesome at serving it too.
What I eat : pomfret/Bangda/Surmai Pulimunchi (your favourite fish cooked in pulimunchi spice). Stuffed Bombay Duck is the best by far. Also try the tandoori pomfret and surmai preparations. This place does serve crap and lobsters. They do give you the option to select your crab/lobster and prepare as per you desire. Service is a bit slow but fast at night.
Great place for a huge family outing.
If you have any queries do comment below.
Hope this was helpful :)
This place is absolutely a seafood lover's heaven... You get to choose amongst the crabs while they are still alive like most good seafood places, shelled out deshelled, butter garlic or ghussi, fresh crabs taste heavenly.. They serve fresh and flaky fish and prepare it to perfection.. It's a must visit if you like your seafood fresh and reasonably priced..
You are not a seafood lover if u haven't visited this place. Be it tikka or fry or chinese, it tastes always the best! All time favourites: Rawas tikka and surmai fry.
Best seafood i ever had. But just one advice, visit mostly when fish is in season. Rawas Fisk tikka is to die for. Just melts in your mouth.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
The Excellenssea is part of the Fort foodie folklore, located near the RBI building ...............................a two floor structure, the upper one is more desirable relatively speaking, more so because the ground floor doubles up as a drinking joint mostly by men................... the ambience is just about ordinary.......................their reputation of fine seafood dining has started taking a hit in recent years and I can see why that is happening.......................the staff is good, and by that i mean that they know whats on the menu, how it is made and how it would go down with you...............service is well above average.......................as for the food, well, they had built their business on the back of some highly exceptional Konkani/Malvani cuisine and that is where they excel...............try their pomfret fry and prawn koliwada for starters, the main course could include rawas tikka, prawns gassi, chicken chettinad, goan fish curry and appams........................our crabs were not well done and did have a pungent odour besides tasting stale................................otherwise it was lovely....................the price reasonable....................best for wet sunday lunches!
I have been coming to this place for the past 9years.. As the name suggests, this place excels in Seafood, be it indian or their so called Chinese (I'd call it chindian)
Don't expect the Chinese to taste authentic because it's not. However it's s nice fusion of Indian n Chinese flavours. If you opt for Chinese have it with steamed rice n you'll like it rather than a chinese fried rice.
Try the following
Squid in choice of sauce (I like Schezwan)
Beer fried Squids
Prawns in Black Bean
The Indian items are perfect with Neer dosa or steamed rice, as you like it
Prawns/Squid Pulimunchi
Prawns Hariyali (Yummy)
Prawns Koliwada
Rawas Tikka
Crab Butter Garlic
These are the all time favourites
Other items are good but other places like Apoorva n Mahesh in the vicinity have better Gassi n Tandoori options.
When visiting always head upstairs as downstairs serves as a bar in the evenings. Ambience is nothing great but that doesn't matter here. It's all about good seafood.
Seafood heaven .. Ambience is very good .. Seafood lovers must hit this place awesome!!
Been here with friends. Ordered squid and prawns with butter chicken and naan. Good food, good ambience but average service. Seafood tastes good and rest are also not bad. Good for seafood.
This place is like heaven for seafood lovers. You get everything from the famed fried bombil of Mumbai to calamari and lobsters. The bombil fry was absolutely delicious and the lobsters were like a dream come true.
They serve very good crab curry. They also serve decent chicken dishes. Also the ambiance is okay but staff has a bit stiff attitude. Prices are reasonable as per the food quality & location. They should work on some good dessert options. Sea food with beer on a lazy afternoon. Overall nice experience...
Went here for a late night dinner with friends! Fish tikka n prawns gassi were delicious. And the sea food is fresh. Chicken tandoori was a bit undercooked. To digest all kokam kadi is a must. After Mahesh and Jai Hind lunch homes, I don't mind being here again for sea food.
Nice seafood .... The sea food is just to die for.....
Try to have sea food in this restaurant it's amazing the staff is also good the plus point is no rush
Rawas tikka one of the best dish
Deepti Nagarkar-Karve
+4.5
the best sea.food I have ever.had! wonderfully fresh food! excellent quality fish and prawns and cooked with.love!
highly recommend for Sea food lovers!
Superb Quality Sea-Food at an affordable price is the summary of my experience here.
Forget the ambience; it is not too bad either, focus on the taste. Since it is Bar you will find some customers having a drink on the ground level, head up to the upper level.
You pick the variety of Sea-Food and they will dish out an excellent final product for you. We tried the Prawns Koliwada, Surmai Masala, Rawas Fry and Crab in Butter Garlic.
If you are in the mood to experiment and are game for some tangy & spicy gravy preparation, try the Pullimunchi [Tamarind sauce] style of fish with Neer Dosa or Rice. Their variety is Chicken also looked nice [It was ordered by the customer on the next table].
Vegetarian options are nice but the Sea-Food was the show stopper.
Must Visit.
I am a sea food lover and this place keeps up with it's name. It's a kind of place where you get more for less ;-)
Came here again after 7 yrs and i must say they surely have maintained the quality!!
We ordered for bombay duck fry (must try), 2 dishes of prawn (starter & prawn ghee roast) and neer dosa. All yummy!! Only reco out here is- ask them to not add nuts in prawn ghee roast. The king of the dish is the prawn and that gets lost somewer when they use the nuts.
The place kindda looks under renovation and the waiters are a bunch of weirdo's. All above n 2 beers will approx cost you 1600 bucks.
exquisite seafood restaurant, prawns sukka is a must have dish, Chilled beer in Silver Mugs, ekdum superb
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
This place rocks in terms of sea-food, Period!
You wont find the best of ambiance here. The lower section mostly serves as a bar with only groups of men boozing. The upper section is more of a family section. On your way up you'll see fish-tanks with fishes on display....crabs and lobsters too. Mind your head up there, the ceiling is a little low. My friend had a narrow escape.
Service is good and quick. They do a good job with recommendations too.
Sea-food is the specialty here, so stick to it. We just kept ordering fish starters for 9 of us.
Our order:
Prawns Koliwada - Spicy and tasty
Pomfret Fry and Surmai Masala Fry - BEST!!
Bombil (Bombay Duck) - Good as per my friends (I'm not too fond of it)
Fish Tikka (Rawas) - slurp*slurp
Chicken Reshmi Kebab - masala was good, chicken was a little hard, could have been cooked for some more time
Chicken Lollypop - bland, but pieces were huge
Chicken 65 - Good
After gorging on bits of each of the above dishes, I'd safely say, Sea-food - THUMBS UP. You could stay away from the Chinese since its nothing exceptional.
Not exactly light on the pocket, but not extravagant as well. Dinner for 9 cost us 2700 bucks (including taxes and service charge). ie about 300 bucks per person....Its a steal for sure ;)
Great place to come and enjoy seafood. They have live crabs to choose from.
Even if you are not a seafood person they have some really good options in chicken and mutton.
The service is a bit slow but the food is worth the wait. I'm saying this as we were the only ones in the restaurant yet it took pretty long for our order to come.
Other than that everything was perfect.
Everything we ordered was excellent even the variety or pickles laid on the table were amazing.
There is a really clean and well kept washroom.
Valet parking is also available.
One of The best Crab meat Soup 🍲 tasted ever.
Preparation of Clamps suka and prawns ghee roast is on Different level.
Must try their Seafood biryani.
Unique Tendli pickle preparation.
Service is top notch and with kind gesture towards customers.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the renowned restaurant Bharat Xcellensea at Fort 😍after years of longing for seafood. The ambiance was absolutely incredible and full of energy.
I had a wonderful interaction with Mr. Denzil, the Restaurant Manager, who assisted us in selecting our menu. We enjoyed a fantastic appetizer of Prawns with Raw Mango and Surmai Masala Fry and of course the main course we had succulent pieces of chicken sukkah with neer dosa combination.. it was just cooked to perfection🥰
The staff, including Mr. Vrushab and Sheik🫡, were incredibly helpful, always smiling and extending warm gestures. Additionally, the housekeeping staff Ms. Reshma and the welcoming smile at the door from Mr. Luckwinder Singh contributed to the overall great experience.😊
A big thank you to the team for your outstanding hospitality that made our evening truly special. We will definitely be back again soon!❤️❤️❤️

Mumbai’s iconic seafood restaurant Bharat Excellensea is located on the ground floor of Bharat House at Fort and is close to CSTM. Anyone with a penchant for seafood in Mumbai will remember BE for excellent fresh seafood at a price that doesn’t dent hole in your pocket.
They serve culinary delights from Kerala, Tamilnadu and even Thailand.
To ensure authenticity and freshness seafood is sourced everyday, spices are brought from Kerala and coconut are ferried from Mangluru.
The place is bright and cheerful with French windows, beige facade, natural fabrics, muted tones, comfortable seating arrangements and floor to ceiling arched windows. A flight of stairs takes you to the upper deck with a large cobalt blue map of Aapli Mumbai. The stairs takes you to the mezzanine alcove with ornamental fish tanks for decor. The ambiance is deeply inspired by the Mumbai’s sea connections.
The Outrageously delicious food cooking spikes endorphins. We tried some of their iconic dishes and were
extremely impressed with their preparations & presentations.
♦️Virgin Pinacolada
♦️Strawberry Delight
♦️Crab meat soup
♦️Excellensea prawns tandoori
♦️Rawas masala Fry
♦️Mutton Pepper
♦️Prawns Gassi with Neer Dosa
We ended our meals with delightful and refreshing desserts. Each dessert was unique in taste and felt like a reassuring hug. Each can be crowd puller on their own.
Desserts tried:
♦️Tub Tim Grob
♦️Elaneer Payasum
The services are quick, staff is courteous and proudly offers the best to suit your interests. We were supported by Mr. Nawaz, who was highly professional and respectful.
A must visit place to connect to our roots when in Mumbai with authentic preparations, flavors, and efficient services.
One of the finest places if you are looking to enjoy some delicious range of seafood. The freshest catch can be experienced here.
I personally love the food over here. The place has been revamped all over and the menu is designed by none other than Chef Ananda Solomon.
Recently dropped in by for dinner and the we tried couple of things and it was just fabulous. Loved the ambiance, its simple & sober.
The manager Ryan is such a gentleman who made sure we had a great experience and recommended us the best of best. Even the service didn’t lack anywhere behind.
The portions are simply sufficient between 2 people and worth the price.
What we tried and loved
*Tandoori Prawns
*Tawa Surmai Fry in Mangalorean Style
*Crab Soup
*Tisryanche Sukhe
*Crab Gassi with Neer Dosa & Appam
Cant wait to visit again with my family
Wow. What a place. Was looking for seafood restaurants in South Mumbai and found this. Tried the Prawns Ghee roast, sukkha clams, Masala Surmai Fish, Prawns Rava fry and some vegetarian starters. The owner was also gracious. Excellent food and highly recommend
Tried Bombil masala fry, Surma fry, Calms sukha, Prawns gassi with idiappam. The food was awesome. The founder Suraj Salian has restarted after a gap of three years. The place is renovated. Good service with good food.
Excellensea is back with a new brand name Bharat Excellensea.
Vibe is good post the renovation. Food was reasonably good , Though could have been better if there were no mis-communication in the explanation for the crab preparation. We tried this fish called Lady fish for the 1s t time , and it was really tasty and the ghee roast preparation was tasteful.
Crab we hoped could have been in its og form for us to gorge , it was de-shelled though good but the meat got lost in the gravy .
Lobster thermidore was fantastic! And the best was the sweet dish very tongue twisting name it had , but it was a concoction of coconut water with water chestnuts , It was sinful!
Had dinner at Excellensea which is now run by Ananda Solomon of Thai Pavilion fame. Crab festival going on. Started with the prawn cocktail and mango prawns followed by Baked crab, Singapore crab, tandoori crab and crab in butter garlic. Main course butter chicken and mutton sukka. The crab tandoori and Singapore crab were excellent and the baked crab and butter garlic were not as good as the first two. Mutton sukka was delicious and tender. Service with a smile and a very relaxed ambience. Meal for four was approximately 13000.
Visiting Bharat Excellensea after 15 years, I was glad to meet up with the expectations. The restaurant is filled with great food and is known for their crab.
Our waiter Sudhir was extremely hospitable and suggested great dishes from the menu. The Malabar crab and coconut sweet dish is a must try.
Overall I had a great meal at Bharat Execellensea restaurant.
