extends to such dishes as kane rava fry, prawn fry, crab, mussels, neer dosa and sannas. 32 / 3, Cresent Road High Grounds Off Race Course Road T: 080-41291300 Average meal for two Rs 600- 700

Karavalli With more than 20 years behind it, this elegant, high-end and rather expensive restaurant with choice of seating, serves the most delicious coastal fare. A big fave is the thali though the Alleppey fish curry, prawn curry, Goan pomfret and a host of other dishes are well worth
the money. 66, The Gateway Hotel Residency Road T: 080-66604545 Average meal for two Rs 1250

Some of the Goan dishes though, such as the xacuti and fish curry are good. 1211, 100 Feet Road HAL 2nd stage, Indiranagar T: 080-41518087 / 86 Average meal for two Rs 150- 250

Kanua It ' s a toss up between the décor and ambience, and the food in this elegant coastal restaurant. The architecture resembles the area where the food comes from, which is fresh and authentic.
