Potbhar is famous for it's Malvani and Konkani Cuisine. It is a small joint but the taste is definitely worth it. Deliveries are the go to option.
Ordered a Mutton Vade Meal and Mutton Sukka. Both tasted excellent. The Mutton Masala gravy was full of authentic flavours and went well with the Vade. The pieces of mutton were very soft and juicy. The spice level was perfect for both the dishes. The Vade were soft and not too oily. They were generous in providing 6 pieces because most of the restaurants provide only 4 in one plate.
The prices are also very affordable. The Mutton Sukka was again very tasty. It was prepared in thick gravy and had all the right amount of flavours and spices. The mutton pieces were melting in the mouth and were present in sufficient quantity in both the dishes. Just wish they could improve the packaging of the delivery. But full marks for the food taste though.

Potbhar is an Authentic Malwani Restaurant in Thane. The place is pretty small, can only accommodate 4-5 tables. If you visit this place on weekends or reach here after 9 pm on non-veg days then you may have to wait long to get your table. 😐
We visited here before COVID lockdown. The ambience is very ordinary. Come here with 4 persons or less than 4 person group as the seating arrangement is fixed can't be adjusted. You can't add 5th person as there is no space for 5th chair. 😅
It's a request to Potbhar restaurant management to increase the seating capacity so that more people can seat & taste Potbhar's lips snacking food. The place is well known for its seafood dishes.😋
We ordered -
1. Pomfret Thali - 430 Rs.
2. Surmai Thali - 400 Rs.
3. Bombil Fry - 200 Rs.
4. Prawns Biryani - 280 Rs.
5. Tisarya Sukha - 210 Rs.
The fishes were fresh. Food quality & taste were amazing. Our Personal Recommendations are Tisarya Sukha, Bombil Fry, Prawns Biryani.😋👌
They do provide a bowl of sol kadhi with fish thalis but you can also separately order extra Sol Kadi as we did.
Overall a Highly Recommended Place in Thane for Seafood & Malwani Cuisine Lovers.😊

Potbhar is near panchpakhadi area in Thane. Special for malwani and sea food. Taste was nice. Thali system also available. Atmosphere is very good. Do try.
Potbhar serves decent Malvani food in Thane.
The Chicken Thali and the bombil fry are a must try.
Also, the Solkadi is one of the best we've had in Thane.
We plan to try their biryani next!

I m not a huge fan of seafood but if you really love sea food you have to visit this spot it serves the best sea food also the rates are quite affordable. Later day we ordered chicken kombadi vade which had generous portions of chicken the gravy was quite delicious authentic Malvani style. Next was prawns thali which had one rice bhakari,prawns Kalvan (gravy),bowl of rice,dried prawns fry. Surmai Thali had one bhakari,one big proportion of fried surmai which was crispy and fried really well,gravy with fish,dried prawns fry,bowl of rice. Super delicious. Next we had was pomfret Thali which had a huge fried pomfret the size was really great,then rice bhakari,fried fry pomfret,a gravy,a bowl of rice. Also you can order extra bhakari,rice or vade if needed. Overall my experience was PHOTBHAR
We ordered food from the Potbhar restaurant and it was delicious.They have varieties of Maharashtrian food.The quantity was proper.
Food:
1. Chicken handi - (5/5) Must try
2. Bheja fry - (4/5)
3. Bhakri - (5/5)
4.Chicken biryani - (5/5)
This place truly lives up to its name "Pot Bhar", by the time we were done with our lunch we were literally Stomach fullll...It was my first time visit to this place and this restaurant was recommended by my cousins stating they had an awesome experience in trying the different thalis and fish fry..A small joint but delicious food. We had Bombil Thali, Chicken Thali and Prawns Malvani Biryani. Biryani was yummy but a bit too spicy for me, Thalis lived upto the expectations. Overall a must visit place for sea food/ Malvani cuisine lovers 😊👍
This place is heaven for malvani/spicy food lover. The taste and quantity justifies the value for money concept.
The restaurant is quite small, vegetarians only gets to eat Masala Bhat. Most of the times they don't even have paneer, so it is a big thumb down for vegetarians.
Service is average as well, but the NON VEG food is finger licking (Both Chicken and seafood items).
One of the oldest place in Thane which i would call it a gem as this place is not known to many people tho! A big shoutout to this place! The food over is just damn amazing! But the main problems are
The place is very small and and service is not that good! They need to work alot on Sevice! We got a clear picture that after getting the Thali he wasn't interested in serving water and other things!
Now coming to the food
Bheja Fry (5/5)
One of my favourite dish at this place! Just perfectly cooked to perfection!
Bombil Fry (5/5).
The bombil are just crispy and Died to the best! I have become a big fan of the Bombil!
Surmai Thali (5/5)
Even this was extremely fresh with same Thali Structure
100% coming here again soon!
Very tasty, and delicious food.
Very tasty Konkani food at a reasonable price. Tasted chicken thali and fish fry which was really good. A place for nice delicious food with excellent service. All food items were served hot.
Very good food and am lauding their consistency over the years. Excellent fried fish, especially bombil and pomfret. Mutton and bheja curry are amazing! Special mention for their chutney which is addictive. Seating is adequate and service is quick. Definetly worth visiting over and over again
Excellent food....Apt name.... highly recommend...never had such testy bombil and Chicken gravy ....keep it up guys.
I gone with my family for dinner . First of all the place was beautiful and nice . We enjoy the amazing food and drink and ice cream tasty was there and healthy for us. Potbhar is located in the panch pakhadi, thane west, thane visit with your sweet family and friends enjoy the amazing food
Don't go by the size of the place, they serve amazing good. Been here twice and both the times, the food was delicious. We tried, surmai thali, mutton thali and bheja fry. Everything was superb. The size of surmai in the thali was unexpected big. Great value for money without having to comprise on the taste.
Rated 4 because they don't accept card payments. Need to change with the time.
The name itself says that you will be out of this restaurant with a full tummy. Tried prawns fry. Fish thali, chicken thali and soul kadi. No comparison at all!! Best sea food ever had! Ambiance is also good but the taste of the food is really really awesome. Will visit soon.

I had been to this no-frills family restaurant tucked away in the bylanes of Naupada, on a Sunday night for a dinner with my dad and got a seat after waiting there for almost 10minutes. The ambiance is very simple and does perfect justice to the quote, "Do not judge a book by its cover." I ordered a Surmai Fry thali (Seer Fish) for myself while dad decided to go with their Kheema one for him. The order came within no time and we started feasting only after I captured a few good clicks for my Instagram! My meal comprised of Tandalachi Bhakri (an Indian flatbread made from rice flour), fried piece of Surmai (Seer fish/Kingfish), surmai curry with two small pieces of surmai, javla (dried baby shrimp cooked in Indian spices), rice, green chutney, and Solkadhi (a drink made from coconut milk and kokum). To begin with, the Seer fish was impressively low on oil and super fresh. It's was definitely one of the freshest Surmais I've had across the city. The fish was coated with semolina and golden fried to perfectness. There was flavor in every bite and the proper balance of spices just made me go wow. Most importantly, the size of the kingfish was worth the price tag of the thali. The javla was again made nicely, just the way we make it at home. However, they could increase the quantity slightly. About the fish curry, this was a let down as the curry was mildly salty and I hadn't expected it to turn out that way. The rice bhaakri was tender and went well with the fish. Solkadhi had a bright pink color and the strong yet delish drink helped us wash it all down. Moving on to my dad's thali, kheema was oozing out taste and I liked it a lot personally. It was moderately spicy and tasted amazing. I happened to finish my entire plate all by myself and tummy was completely full at the end.
Be sure to reach here a bit early than the regular dinner timings as there's a long waiting sometimes. Also, make sure you've carried a sufficient amount of cash with you as they don't accept cards or online payments. I loved the overall vibe of the place and loon forward to coming back again for gorging on some more seafood thalis. There's just one person taking down orders and managing everything, so you need to be a bit patient. The service is quick and our attendant was polite. Our weekend ended on a happy note for real!

This is one of the best places in Thane for Sea food. They serve Maharashtrian style seafood and meat. The taste is really yumm..
We ordered for
Pomphret(Paplet) Thali,
King Fish(Surmai) fry,
Bombay Duck (Bombil) Fry,
Chicken Thali,
Crab Thali,
Chicken Lollypop,
and Chicken Biryani..
In Thali, they serve Sukat (also known as dry fish kismur or chatni), green chutney, onions, lemon, 1 Bhakri(Indian bread prepared with rice), Small portion of rice, curry without Fish, Solkadhi(drink mate with coconut milk & Kokum) and Fish Fry or meat or crab (depending on the variety of thali you choose).
Everything we ordered was tasty..
I am really obsessed with the Pomphret fry they serve. This is the best ever Pomphret fry I have had in any restaurant.
The only drawback of visiting here is that you have to pay the Bill in cash only. They do accept cards or online wallet payments.
But nothing can beat the satisfaction after you have dined here.
Loved it..

Ordered surmai thali was too good must try. Quantity is good .Place is a bit cozy but food quality is great authentic Malvani. If you are seafood lover definitely should try it out.Peace out❤️🔥
Had been to this place last Sunday. Small place and bit difficult to locate however the visit was worth it. We tried prawns fry, chicken sukka and vade, surmai fry thali and bhakari. Every dish served was amazingly perfect and tasty. The fish was fresh and yummiee. Solkadi was perfect. I would definitely visit this place again.
Cozy little place we hit randomly on our way to thane from Pune and it did hit disappoint. This place defines why you should not judge book by its cover !
6-7 tables with 4 chairs each looks and feels a bit congested but their food makes it up for the inconvenience. Menu is small and well designed and around malavani style.
We started with some fried bombil which honestly trumped any fried chicken dish I have ever had.
We had one Prawns Thali, one Egg Thali , tho quantity was bit low it was simply delicious. Kolam rice was going nicely with coconut based gravies, and their complementary zhinga chutney was next level.
As we eat like never ate before we ordered one chicken Bhat Malvani, Bheja masala and chicken vade and they completely stole the show. Every bite of that bheja with vada was heavenly beautiful. Ending with extra solkadi helped it wash down perfectly.
Taste like this you only find in authentic restos. I’m looking forward to try their fry fishes .
A small place in panchpakadi...provides authentic malvani food...I ordered fish thali...
The quality of the food was amazing ..the fish was cooked well was tender and fresh...
Best place for seafood. Thali was bit costly as compared. But taste was really nice. Go for surmai fry here. Look ambience.. over all a good experience.
If you are a Sea food lover , this is just the right place. Restaurant is small but it delivers tasty seafood receipes. We had Surmai & Paplet thali n both were simply great. Solkadi n Green chutney added more flavour to the thali. Do not miss Bombil fry. Pocket friendly n best for seafood lovers.
Good food, friendly service. Do try the tisrya (shell fish) masala with bhakri. Rawa fry preparations are also good albeit a little oily. I'd recommend tawa fry dishes instead. Overall a good place. Seen in the picture are prawns and bombil rawa fry
From the glimpse and lights of today's digital world of promotion a restaurant which still hits hard on word of mouth promotion is Potbhar. The reason being they don't need digital world to cater customer is their USP delicious malwani food.
So what all I ordered?
Bombil Fry - Crispy Fried bombil was one of the good starter to start with. Served along with green chutney the combination went very well. **recommended**
Chicken Thaali - One of the best Malwani Thaali I had recently. The thaali consist of Chicken Masala, Chicken Curry, Chapati/Bhakri, Onions, Green Chutney, Jawla, Rice and Sol Kadhi. One good thing about every malwani thaali is you end the meal with digestive drink i.e. Sol Kadhi instead of getting more heavy having desert.
Overall I am very much impressed with the food served at Potbhar. Its not always about flashy interiors what works well is delicious food which Potbhar delivers.

ठाणेकर or मुंबईकर: If you want to have some authentic Malwani food in Thane, Pot Bhar (पोटभर) is your place to go. .
.
They serve Delicious chicken, Fish and Prawns Thali's. Chicken Vade, Jawla and Bhakri combinations are to die for and you cannot miss on Solkadhi

Nice place.. Though it is small but their service is quite good..they have variety of dishes.. We tried prawn fry.. Solkadhi is also tasty..
This is a very small restaurant but hardly 4-5 tables but the food is worth trying. They serve authentic malvani and konkani style food. Crab thali and solkadhi is a must try. Since it's a small restaurant, you'll usually find people waiting especially on weekends. So, plan accordingly. Extremely pocket friendly.
Potbhar a small hidden heaven for the seafood lovers in the thane city..... If u r a diehard seafood lover u must visit this place.... Place is nit that big but once u get the food u vil ignore all these....spcl malvani taste hv been given to all the dishes.... Must try Fish thallis & fish platters.... They also serves chicken & mutton thallis... But that thing u vil get in any other hotels..... Pocket friendly too compared to other seafood restaurants.... 😉
This is small place but worth to visit. Being an malvani food lover i am highly recommend to visit this place.
They are surviving probably the best prawns rava fry in thane. If you are bombil & surmai lover (Bombay Duck) and (seer fish) respectivly they both are also worth to try for. Chicken biryani is also good.
I also recommend you to try various fish thali they served here.
You may not find great ambiance over here but test of the food force you to visit this place again & again.
One of the place in thane gaining huge responce from crowd to taste authentic malvani food. This place is like love for Foodies prefers Authentic Malvani Sea Food. Upvote for this place only bcoz of awsum thali choices and excellent food quality . Downside is this place has very limited seating arrangement, hardly 5-6 tables. So if you are unlucky then queue is waiting for you. Limited Valet parking is available. They dont take table reservations. If you are Sea food lover then must to visit this place and try bombil fry for sure. Go hangout.
If you are a seafood lover then you must 110% visit hotel Potbhar. It's quite small place with good ambiance. I feel that Potbhar shall expand it's restaurant so that many people will get to know about it's tastey food

Malvani food at its best.
Small and quaint joint. Few tables and chairs, so be early...
They start with their signature Maharashtrian Malvani Coconut Chutney.
Tried the Prawns Tikhala (a thick prawn gravy) with authentic Vades.
Also had the Bombil Rava Fry, Surmai Tawa Fry, Prawns Rava Fry and Bheja Fry. All were just awesome.
Top it all off with their Solkadi.
Reasonable rates and good quantity.
Service is fast and with a smile.
You can also try their Thalis, Biryanis, North Indian or Chinese.
Had heard a lot about this place so thought of giving it a try and surely it didn't disappoint us at all! Potbhar serves really fresh and authentic malwani cuisine. Located in thane, it's a small restaurant that could accomodate around 25 people or more. Coming to the food, we tried:
Prawns rawa fry - small to medium sized prawns cooked to perfection. The rawa coating was perfect and not too thick. But I wish the size of the prawns and quantity could have been better.
Surmai Thali - the thali consisted of 2 bhakris, rice plate, fried Surmai, sukha jawla, surmai raasa and solkadi. The size of the Surmai was pretty good and was cooked well.
Prawns Thali- this one had the curry version of prawns and not prawns sukha. Rest of the things were same. It was OK.
Of all, I loved their Surmai Thali and Prawns rawa fry.
Would definitely recommend this place.
Happy eating 😇
Good food and most importantly value for money. Since the outlet is small, lot of waiting time. Would suggest to have a take away order instead of waiting for such a long time.
This one of my favorite joint in thane for delicious malvani food.. Taste is pretty authentic..Would like to eat fish from here apart from Thane's some hipe fish food restaurants..Food is great..Fish is always fresh..Taste is good.. reason behind not giving 5 star is that because of small area for seating arrangements ..they are always in hurry for customers to eat your food and leave as soon as possible..
One of the Best place to grab a seafood thali for better price and 100% genuine Maharashtrian Taste to the food
they also have an option to opt out from Jowar bhakari and get Rice Bhakari which is a bomb
this is hard to find on GPS location, very small but super super busy.
hard to get a table when its super busy here so make sure you reach there as early as possible or do a take-out.
the staff is knowledgeable and very friendly when it comes to service
only complaint I have is the place is too small when ur a big guy, its to crampy for you stay there and enjoy such a great meal.
Visited this place and the food tastes Awesome and the price are worth it...
Even though the spess is less but once y taste the food its just yummy.
Good service and Lovely food
One of the best malwani hotel in thane.they serve authentic malwani food.
I ordered
Prawns rawa fry
Bombil fry
Chicken thali
& Chicken sukkha
Food here is lip smacking& delicious.bombil & prawns fry are to die for.definately going there again.must try.very reasonable cost for such quality & tasty food.👍
Hands down the one of the best place for seafood and chicken gravies.
The fish is always fried perfectly
Try surmai/ salmon fry.
Also the chicken vade are delicious 😋
The joint is bit small but worth every penny.
Visited this place with one my friend, just to try some new restaurant but it turned out to be a good place , yes the restaurant is quite small but the taste and quality of fish is very good, we had bombil thali(Bombay duck) this thali consist of fish fry, dry fish sider, curry, rice bhakari or chapati and solkadi. I was quite disappointed with solkadi but the service, taste and quality was really good.

good teste, food serving is hot, nice customer service, rate is reasonable, quantity of food is good, mouthwatering test of food, nice hotel... Fully satisfied with POTBHAR restaurant. ☺ I suggest the hotel make a big for future & add please soup items also.
I was in thane for my personal work so I decided to visit a proper full meal restaurant. As soon as I opened my zomato, came across to this restaurant named "POTभर". As the rating was good I decided to try the thali of this restaurant.
As I entered the restaurant, I realized the place is little to small, but the decor was good. I was starving so I ordered a veg thali. Whithin 2-3 mins he served it. The thali was literally mouth watering and the aroma of the veggies was amazing. Usually they serve 2 usal, 1 dal, 1 solkadhi, 1chatni, 2 rotis, 1 rice and 1 papad.
The restaurant is run by malvani chefs so I was expecting little spicynees in food and it was there. The thali's are pocket friendly. The person who was taking orders was so quick that within no time he was serving to every guest. As the restaurant was packed with customers some people were waiting outside which is good sign for any restaurant team.
A MUST VISIT PLACE IN THANE.
Taste - 4.5/5

Good taste for chicken masala handi.. need to be more spicy.. bhakri is good but need to be properly cooked..
This place was recommended by a friend Lalit Shirsekar so just gave it a try.. Being a fish lover we ordered surmai (seer) Thali, kolambi (prawns) thali. Paplet (pomfret) thali and bombil (Bombay duck) fry. The food is value for money and the best part is they serve authentic Malvani cuisine..
Gonna visit here very soon
I have ordered second time from Potbhar...and both time I got delivery before expected time..and taste was awesome and delicious..quantity was also sufficient..
I have ordered Chicken sukka...it was awesome...specially malawani touch...quality and quantity wise also good...
food was warm and intact and taste was also quite good
We had prawns rava fry for starters and it was so amazing that we ordered one more time.. it was perfectly fried, with perfect spice and crunch and well cooked. It was super yummy. In thali we had chicken thali which was good. Another thali we had was surmai thali which was super delicious. Surmai was perfectly done with the right spices. Bhakri was soft n nice. Maharashtrian food is so diverse there was curry n rice. Solkadi was amazing..a must after having nonveg food. There was dry fish called jawla which was good too. Last but not the least the chutney was yummy too.
A small place serving amazingly tasty food.. best for Maharashtrian nonveg seafood
Second review:
Couldn’t stop myself to revisit here
We had bombil fry. N our favourite prawns fry n surmai thali..
n it was amazingly super delicious yet again
Totally in love with this food
very good food, good service
Absolutely lip smacking gravies from chicken to egg. Always got food home delivered and I can’t get over it. It’s worth the price. A big thumbs up
A small joint one must try if you are a sea food lover. Their Thalis is a must try- ***Prawn thali***
Apart from sea food, one must order for komdi vade, and brain masala. It was too delicious .
Service is quite quick.
food is really great if your a fish lover😍😍.you need to wait 15-20mins because of the rush.we ordered mutton wade,surmai fry thali ,prawns fry.Value for money,taste good 5/5,must give it a try.
Seafood quality is good. I ordered Prawns Thali, the taste was very good but only 5 pieces of small Prawns they served in thali. Prawns Quantity issue, otherwise must visit this restaurant.
Pot bhar as : In Marathi mom used to tell pot bhar khaun ja means don't keep your stomach empty eat full meal . Potbhar in thane is one of well known restaurant if you are food crazy and you will love the food in marashtrian style each and every dishes are very tasty try out bheja thali and mutton thali
If you are seafood crazy try out bombil fry mouth watering do visit this place this place is small conjusted but food is really awesome rating : 4.5
Little place in Thane serving excellent Malwani food. The dining room is small so you would have to wait for a while but this helps to build up your appetite with the aroma.
The food is simple but delicious. Chicken/ mutton with vade, fried fish, Sol kadi is too good. This place is known for it's thalis and it's amazing. I am a fan of Malwani food and try to search for good restaurants serving it and this is one of the good ones without any doubt.
The price is very reasonable too.
if you are a true non vegetarian then you should visit this place at least once with empty stomach. I bet you will surely love it. they serve amazing food. fish, chicken etc. we had a chicken thali, kombadi Wade, bombil fry, prawns fry etc. food was so tasty. if you prefer ambiance more than taste then I think you won't like it too much. there are hardly 8 tables which is always full. but don't worry it's a family restaurant :)
this was the best place i ever visited for seafood.. delicious and decent taste. we had surmai and kolambi thali and Pomfret fry. Not far from the Thane station. I would definitely suggest. the only problem is place is too small n we have to wait and of course this is because of taste of food here. Eagerly waiting to visit again
