Hotel Mahalaxmi Malpe - Seafood restaurant in Malpe - Udupi, India

The food was excellent, especially the Anjal rava fry, which was truly amazing. There were many variety of fish available. The service was good, and there was ample parking space available, reasonable rates and good food. They served rice water (pez), good butter milk as well. What more do we need!?

One of best restaurant for sea food in Udupi. Fish meals, fry and Goli soda are must try. Fresh fish dishes with Reasonable pricing. Service is exceptional. Parking space is also available

Good place for sea food. All items were very tasty except ghee roast. It's cheap too and crowded.

A great spot for seafood items especially fried fishes in Malpe. Fish thali was basic but the fish fries were fresh and very tasty. Rates are normal and service was quick. Decent seating capacity but the place will be crowded during lunch time. Neat & clean wash rooms are available.

Had Tiger prawns tawa fry, pomfret tawa fry, special fish meals, silver rava fry ,prawns pepper and crab ghee roast....Crab Ghee roast was okay but all other items were good and fresh...The person carry the fries as and when it is done to each table. OVERALL cost was 1560 (3 adults and 2 kids per head cost Rs 312)

Fantastic food! Skip the prawn ghee roast, it's no good. But everything else is amazing. Everything is dirt cheap. Crab was great, tiger prawn was excellent. Stick to the tawa fry, don't bother with the rawa fry. Just overall excellent food and very cheap.

Superb and fulfilling experience! The food was superb and the calm environment was good in the busy tourist region.

Review by Team Ghatotkatcha If you're in Udupi, Fish meals or Meenu Oota is mandatory. So, in our search for good Meenu Oota places in Udupi and Malpe, which is underrated and very much better than the popular eateries out there. At @hotelmahalaxmi_malpe , the meal costs Rs60, where you get unlimited amount of Rice, meenu saaru or fish saru made with the regular bhootai or sardine, southe kayi palya or the Mangalore cucumber palya. They bring out two huge trays of fresh fishes rawa fry and tawa fry, you can choose whatever you want from the lot, the waiter who carries the tray will yell loudly and name every fish out there. So, we did not go with the regular fish, we had Tawa fry of Melu, bayya and Yeri. Melu is a butterfish and we loved it, it just melts in the mouth, this melu fish with a slight coat of the red masala absorbs well and looks light on the outside. Bayya is a scaly and thorny fish, yet it has nice flesh of it's own, it's for a regular fish eater. Yeri is a small fish, which is very soft and cooking that is slightly difficult, yet the people at Mahalaxmi nailed it. Yeri has a special distinguished taste where, the skin is also elegant. The masala used for the tawa fry is killer, their masala is simple yet difficult to crack. Chillies, oil and fish in a marinade. It's a pescatarian's paradise Oh we had the prawn kabab too and that's skippable. These fishes are priced differently everyday based on the price in the harbour. They are fresh catch for the day.
