Pratap Lunch Home, Seafood restaurant in Fort district, Mumbai, India.
Pratap Lunch Home is a seafood restaurant in the Fort district of Mumbai, India, specializing in Mangalorean cooking. The dining room is compact, with closely spaced tables and a counter near the entrance where raw seafood is displayed on ice.
The restaurant opened in 1961 and was among the first places in Mumbai to bring Mangalorean cooking directly into the city's commercial center. Several generations of regulars have eaten here since then.
The cooking here follows the traditions of the Konkan coast, with fish curry, pomfret fry, and crab masala as the main draws. These preparations come from the Mangalorean kitchen and are rarely found in this form elsewhere in the city.
A reservation is worth making for lunch, as the place fills up quickly with office workers from the surrounding area on weekdays. The restaurant is on the ground floor and easy to enter without steps.
At the counter near the entrance, diners can pick the raw fish or shellfish they want and tell the kitchen how to cook it. This means the diner decides the preparation before the dish even reaches the kitchen.
