We've heard nothing but raves about Trishna from cab drivers, concierges and people-in-the -know in Mumbai. Trishna's reputation for the freshest seafood around is well-deserved. Reservations are essential. If you're feeling pretty flush, ask to see their specials for the evening. While we were there, the waiters would parade around giant crabs and lobsters for the customers' approval.

We were not too hungry that night and limited our orders to a couple of dishes.

Rajastani fish (dry roasted). We decided on pomfret, and the fillets were just huge. The veggie fried rice was ok.
Chicken chili. DJKung liked this too.

Garnishes: fresh red onions, sliced limes and green sauce. These went perfectly with the fish.


This is another view of the Rajastani fish. The outside was crispy and perfectly seasoned. The flesh tasted clean, sweet and superfresh. The inside was juicy. Trishna's kitchen definitely has a deft touch with the seafood.




Tiger beer. Tiger beer was our brew of choice in Mumbai. This lager is smooth, very easy to drink and goes well with spicy Asian food.



It was at Trishna that we had our first taste of kulfi. This is the local ice cream. It has the consistency of ice milk and has a taste very similar to dulce de leche.


We wanted to return to this restaurant for seconds and were truly sorry that we missed out on our last night. Trishna is definitely on our list next time we go back!
