Mahabelly's Weekend Menu Is All About Fresh Seafood & Pork

We checked out the weekend menu at Mahabelly. With some special dishes and fresh seafood, the menu is finger lickin’ good.

Of the appetisers, we tried the fried anchovies {Netholi}, fish cutlets and the vegetarian Kondattam {stir fried spicy assorted veggies}. Each one was crisp, crunchy and packed a punch of flavors. Special mention for the supremely fresh seafood, flown in from Kerala. We washed this down with the refreshing tender coconut and a lime mocktail.

The main course spread had the Classic Fish Moilee, light and fragrant, matching gorgeously with the idiyappams. But the star of the meal was the Pork Roast – a delicious combination of tingling spices, with just the amount of heat that will keep you going back for the next bite.

Also delightful was the tangy, creamy Pacha Manga Curry {raw mangoes in coconut milk gravy}. The Kathrikka Curry {brinjal in a peanut sauce} and Saramma’s Vendekka Curry {ladies fingers} were relished equally by my vegetarian companion.

The restaurant was packed to capacity with a 40 minute wait list, and that’s the usual state of affairs. The weekend specials are subject to availability, but I vouch for the a la carte offerings at Mahabelly equally. That Malabar parotta is pure joy!
