    Good restaurant near highway, Food is Very tasty & authentic. They have all types of sea foods. Fish thali is a good combo with all sea food dishes.

    Tried the place for Lunch and Dinner. Both were disappointing and waste of time and money. Skip this this hotel! You will thank me. Go there and regret it. There is so much hype about this restaurant not sure why. This place had good rating on Google maps and had seen so many banners of this place in and around the town hence had high expectations from this restaurant. On my first visit we had gone for dinner. The ambience was amazing. I would rate 5/5 for the interior and ambience of this place. But one doesnt go just for the looks. We spoke to the owner who was a nice guy and on his recommendation we ordered our dishes. The crab soup tasted good. Other than that we ordered Squid Butter Garlic and Paneer Pahadi masala which had no taste at all. Not only me, my other 3 friend also were surprised and disappointed. We called the owner again and reported this to him. He then suggested that we should go for Murgh Musallam and that we wont regret it. We ordered it and requested him to inform the chef to make it tasty. But to our surprise we were left with nothing but disappointment again. This also did not taste well. It was like there were no spices in it at all and just tasted like chilly paste and boiled chicken. We wanted to see why this place had so much hype hence went again for lunch. The South Indian fish thali was the much hyped dish. We ordered it with high hopes. To our surprise the King fish Slice was thin like a banana peel and did not taste good. Had to order another slice as it was too thin. The items in the thali were just present for name sake. Out of the 5 small bowls 2 bowls were of pickle and salad. Who would put pickle salad in bowls? It was just for the appearance. Again, the taste was just normal not worth the price or the hype. We then ordered a special paneer pulao which looked good for the eyes but lacked taste. Overall the place was good only for the eyes. Maybe the owner can hire a better chef. The owners are very nice and humble couple.

    A very beautiful restaurant at Shirali on the Bhatkal-Mangalore highway. The restaurant design and ambience are awesome. The food is good, but they need to add more traditional/local dishes to the menu. Service is fast and the staff is very good. We had King Fish thali, Squid sukka (which didn't taste like authentic sukka but was tasty anyway), and Dal khichdi.

    We came here after seeing the reviews in google. The good things are, 1. Location: close to the highway, parking space is there. 2. Sea food: They have good fishes available, they will bring it and select what you like. We had calamari, prawns and a Goan boneless rava fried crispy fish, all were good. Better ask suggestion from the waiter. 3. Ambience: Amble space is there, the outside sitting is really good, the open view is relaxing, also not much noise even it is close to the highway. 4. Service: very polite staff, May be not all, but the person served us was a good one. 5. Pricing: Very reasonable. Cons: Even though the sea foods were good, the Hyderabadi biryani was terrible. The rice stayed away from the masala n chicken, rice tasted raw. Also the colour was greenish and masala was with Palak and mint. This Hyderabadi biryani was not spicy at all! I told about this to the reception, and a few waiters came and explained that Hyderabadi biryani was like this. I had many Hyderabadi dishes and I am quite sure that this was not a Hyderabadi, it was more of a chicken Palak, May be we can call it as haryali biryani. Anyway I suggest not to give this one to any spice loving Andra people. And the welcome drink was terrible, it tasted like some spicy wine. No one in our group were able to take a sip. Also I felt like it was not hygienic. If possible, please provide watermelon juice or May be lime juice which we usually consider as a welcome drink. These experiments can ruin the overall experience.

    They have a family room which is great. The staff is nice and courteous. Food is great. We had crab sukka, chicken fried rice (Lucky the owner suggested we order half otherwise we couldn't have eaten all of it coz we ordered so much more) butter milk, silver fish thali, palu fry. Like soda and kokam juice. all this was great. Kokam juice was spicy but we liked it. Before we ordered they got us a tray full of fish from which we could select. The toilets were nice and clean.

    Ambience is very good. Served food in royal style. Food is very traditional. Chicken tandoori is yummy. Open dining with live rain makes this place romantic. Normal biriyani is good, Hyderabadi biriyani is not good. It has open space, closed space with Sir conditioner and private space where family only can enjoy. Must visit place.

    Had lunch here and was super satisfied with the dishes we tried. Food is slightly overpriced but if you are nearby the place and looking for good food with cool ambience, then I would recommend this place. We tried prawns Tawa fry, kane fish rava fry, pomfret tawa fry, crab sukka, dum biriyani and burnt garlic rice. Highly recommend the sea food. Courteous staff and customer service is good.

    Awesome seafood dishes. Some of the best we had. Edwin, the restaurant manager helped us pick the best fresh catch they have. Totally good food, taste, service, ambience, all impeccable.

    Amazing place to have seafood in shirali. The ambience reminds us of India in the 1980's, you can choose what you want to have and they will prepare it exactly the way you want. We also took a Veg thali and were impressed by the flavours that was packed into this well plated delight. The paratha was soft and well done.and the fried chilli was like the icing on top of the veg thali. The prawn koliwada was simply amazing with the right balance of spices and a good helping of curry leaves fried to perfection. The owner is usually on site and is happy to help with any request with your meal. An amazing pitstop on a road trip.

    This was an old home more than half a century old. I use do to admire the natural beauty of the abandoned home which is on the shore of Shirali river between Bhatkal and Murudeshwar. My visit to Shirali for social work was 2 year after COVID pandemic. For my surprise, the abandoned home was made a beautiful restaurant and homestay. I have met the owner who is an architect by profession, who took care of maintaining the original structure with necessary modification and strengthening. Lunch and dinner served here. Traditional costal food and Goan nonveg food is provided.
