If you work near dadar or visiting dadar please do take a stop here. But you will have to follow the saying SABAR KA FAL MITHA because this statement definitely have a meaning there is a line outside you have to wait meanwhile you get more hungry because all the smell of sea food makes to more hungry.
Once you get in the service is really fast plus the food is same as you want everytime you go. Fresh seafood and happy atmosphere there waiters will give their best to get what you want.

One of the oldest sea food restaurant in bandra East. Very popular amongst the ones who love sea food. In my childhood I always used to see people's coming here and sometime wait to get the seat as it is always packed. No wondor, its because of the food they serve. It's a tiny restaurant but seating is quite comfortable.

Though I am not a big fan of all sea food but i love pomphret fry🐠, indian mackerel tawa fry 🐟 prawns fry. Spices used are so good and perfectly marinated. Fish fried to perfection.

They also serve chicken and mutton dishes and that also are good. But my personal recommendation would be sea food. So if you are craving for delicious sea food than this place is best option for you. You will definitely visit this place again.

Sea food: 5/5
Service:4/5

If you want to eat good seafood and don't want to spend a ton, highway gomantak is the place. Also you would want to carry cash as they still don't accept card. Praws fry is really good, the portion sizes are good too. I am not a big fan of thali, though my husband loves it.
This is not a place for vegetarians. 
Ambience is very basic.
Service is quick, however, basic.

Highway Gomantak is arguably one of the best seafood restaurants in Mumbai.

>FOOD
We ordered
-Surmai Thali (surmai masala, 2 chapatis, sol kadhi and rice)
-Surmai Fry

The food was phenomenal!!
The surmai was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spices. Sol kadhi was amazing as well.

>SERVICE and AMBIENCE
The service was super prompt.
Highway Gomantak, being a typical Malvani restaurant did not have flashy interiors or exquisite flower vases. The interior was pretty ordinary which helped in amplifying the Malvani vibe.

Just one word for this place : MIND-BLOWING!
Located in kherwadi, Bandra East this place is little difficult to locate as it is inside a lane at the corner of highway, though they have a signboard to locate the same. Coming to ambiance it's simple and down to earth. Nothing fancy and it is quite possible that you might have to share your seat with fellow foodies but who cares when the food they offer is the best malwani sea food served in Mumbai! They are unarguably the best in their business. We ordered pomfret thali, rawas thali and prawns fry. Both the thali's were amazing. Mild in taste with perfect blend of spices, quantity enough for one person hence you'll hardly see anyone wasting their food here, light on pocket and food worth every penny! Prawns fry is one of their signature dishes and it was simply best. Also their sol kadi is the best I have ever had!
Head here for a hearty meal apt enough to label as ' Ghar ka khana!' 😊
PS: they take only cash no cards so keep considerable amount handy

I went here with my friend who is a regular customer. So I ordered crab thali for the first time in my life , my friend advised on it that if u don't have any experience it will be difficult to eat as it came with hard shell. But somehow I managed to eat without getting cuts in my mouth , and it was incredible . the masala was really delicious . My friend ordered prawns thali and it was upto the mark for a regular prawns eater. So the Thali basically includes 1 bhakri , 1rice bowl , 1 solkadhi bowl ,1 bhaji , onion and lemon. I tried Custurd , but it was just Ok. The place is very family friendly . seafood is little on the expensive side , so bring the money accordingly as THEY DO NOT ACCEPT money through digital mediums. ONLY CASH. The service was Ok. Overall experience was GOOD.

It is one of the favorite restaurant for my family. I visit this place from my school days. For me Prawns masala thali is to die for along with fried fish Bombil & Halawa.
There were pomfret, crab, clams, sharkfish thalis which are equally cherish your taste buds.
On weekends it get crowdy so better to reach early. Service is good & quick. Waiters get order carefully from you answer all queries about preparations.
Ambience is fine, sometimes in summer it get hot inside although fans are in place.

Taste: 5/5

It is a place to visit for seafood lovers.

This is a pocket friendly, no nonsense (read: don't look at the ambience) haven for sea food lovers. I have very rarely seen such low prices for sea food. Also, when one orders sea food, you are now conditioned to a portion size of the serving. For eg. in other restaurants, a prawns starter consists of 6-8 pieces. Here the plate was full of it!It was a rare sight!
Even the Bombay Duck fry.... we ordered food assuming normal quantities and got more than we had expected. That's usually a good thing, in this case it certainly was! And the best part was that everything was well made. So we didn't mind it at all!

Cosy restaurant,
quality of food is good ,
Quantity is also good as compare to rates ,
Only thing is that in thali you don't get all fried fish you have to order special thail for fried fish or alacarte.
About service sometimes you get your food quickly sometimes it will take time.

A place which i have been frequenting for years when ever i have a curry craving. This simple outlet which deals with only cash in this digital era is a old world marvel. Delicious masalas and curries to go along with bhakri and rice. Try the Sol kadi. Its a compulsive non veg fishy joint for sea food lovers. Must visit experience. All depends upon the season catch but be assured of good fresh sea food. My reco is a prawns sukka thali with a fry of your choice with a glass of sol kadi. Try the wadi instead of roti

Some people call this place "mini-goa" , some people call it "Mumbai Cha Malwan" the reason being the staple food of goans and malwani people is Fish and this place specializes in Sea food . Pomfret , Bombil , Prawns , Halwa , Tisrya , Bangda , Raavas , Surmai are the variety of fish that they serve , be it in a form of curry or fried . Generally this place operates by the thali system where in they serve chapati , sol kadi , rice , the type of fish you order along with the curry , chutni , onion and lemon in a thali . Other dishes apart from fish that one can get is crab masala , chicken thali , etc. Finishing your meal with their special kharvas is the best thing one can experience . The place is a bit pricey but worth every penny , I have been here many times and Everytime I come out I feel satisfied by the quality of food and happy for the choice I made ❤️
Highway Gomantak is one of my favourite places in Mumbai & I highly recommend people to go give this place a visit ❤️🍻.

I don't know about authentic but where's definitely a taste of homemade spices to the food here. I ordered for the surmai thali and boy was i happy. The fish was packed with flavour and the solkadi was a perfect combination as it provided as refreshing cooler to the spicy masala in the curry so much so that me and a friend managed to finish atleast two glasses each of the solkadi.

Now whatever I say about this place is less.I was highly recommended this restaurant for my love for fish and sea food and it did not disappoint me at all. It will not be an exaggeration if I say I also happended to slip into food coma ☺️. This has a very humble setting and no where does it compete with its fancy contemporaries but this is fish lovers heaven. The ambiance is clean,clutterfree,hygienic and humble. We had Prawn and Pomfret Thali and also ordered for Bombil Rava Fry by the side and trust me when I say they were finger licking good. A Must Visit!

A cosy restaurant located in a corner..Serves very simple and yet super delicious seafood. If you're all about the food and don't care about the ambience then this is the place you'll love. Tried fried surmai, fish curry, prawn masala (yummm) and their famous sweet dish... everything was really tasty and a must try. Do give this humble place a visit.

But remember, they are very punctual with closing time.

Was in Mumbai after 3 years and was craving some sea food. The obvious choice was Gomantak and this one was still open.
Reached there 5 mins before 4 PM and they still happily welcomed us even though they close at 4 PM. The servers were very helping. We ordered prawns fry and bombil fry to start with. The prawns were good but the bombil fry was the show stealer. The fish very fresh and tender perfectly crispy.
Then we ordered mutton wade prawns masala and tisrya masala. Everything was really good.. The taste perfect, served perfectly hot with nice warm chapatis.

The restaurant ambience is good I would say, but the most important aspect of going to any restaurant is the food taste and for that I would rate the place excellent. The bombil fry, prawn fry and the crab masala is a must eat there. Would love to visit and eat at this place again.

If you love seafood visit here.
Try their Bombayduck /bombil fry , prawn fry,surmai fry . Their prawn-kolambi pulav is loaded with prawns. Instead of roti have bhakri or wade.

Ambiance - non ac typical ghargunti style
Service- fast and prompt
Price is cheaper than any other seafood maharastrian popular restaurant.
Tip- reach early if you don’t wanna wait the hungry line !

Highway Gomantak, is one of those legandary spots in Bandra East, where you go to eat a frill less, wholesome meal. This is a seafood lover's paradise, so if you dont like to eat creatures that swim or crawl in the ocean, doesnt make much sense venturing here! (ofcourse they do have some token chicken and veg stuff!)

The eatery is rather small and extremely popular and inevitably, you will have to share table space with other patrons, which is anyway part of the fun.

The two of us, went for a late lunch this past weekend. We ordered a surmai and a prawn thali and a separate order of seer fish fry and bombil fry.

The thalis are pretty standard. 2 rotis, bowl of rice, solkadi, onions, lemon slice and a blob of green chutney and your dish of order. Of the two thalis, the prawn and surmai, were good and tasty (very homely) if not spectacular.

The two fry items were a bit same note, but I prefered the seer over the bombil, the fishes were really fresh. What I liked was the dishes were not spicy at all and you could taste the fish!

We ended the meal with a caramel custard, which was so-so.

Service is pretty much business like, considering the turnaround. The owner manning the cash booth was a bit of a sour puss!

The prices seemingly are a wee bit high, atleast from what I had imagined, but then you are assured of clean and fresh fare. Remember this is a cash only establishment, so come prepared

It was a bit of surprise to see a 'Malwani Cuisine' hotel in the midst of junk food jungle (was there first time). The tasty 'Thali' is served only between 12noon and 3.30. A heaven for those interested enjoying sipping the 'Pitcher' with fish starters. For main course steaming 'Neer Dosa', 'Amboli'(a different version) are a sure trumps. Crab tandoor and very many mouth-watering dishes add to the Pandora's Box. A must visit for 'Khavayyas'
