Sea Rock - Bengaluru

After so many failed plans to go here, finally made my visit to the Bengaluru's one of the oldest, coastal food restaurant located in the centre of the city, just at the corner of Shivanand circle. Started off with a strong masala filled buttermilk,I guess the best way to start one's meal on a heavy humid day. To tell about this place, they serves basically the Mangalorean coastal food which again takes route of authentic Shetty style, so everything you can expect is the rich masala stuffed, flavoursome coastal delicacies. Tried so many sea food starters here like prawns ghee roast, mussels fry, squid, kane fry, fish pulimunchi, crabs n some other. To sum all, every dish here is a masterclass prepared by chef's who has a period of 20+ years experience. Every starter was equally delicious giving the hint of slight coconut oil. And if any vegetarians thinking that this is not a spot for you, you are mistaken my friend, this place really serves hell delicious vegetarian food which I was spellbounded as soon as I tasted. To mention some they have some amazing Starters , to be explicit try there mushroom ghee roast I bet you won't stop for one plate. Indeed a beauty it is. To give a hiatus before getting into the main course I had there special sea food soup , OMG! Never tasted any mix of prawns n fish with a generous amount of coconut milk n some spices this soup was prepared to perfection. In main course I tried their kotte kadubu, neer dose, with chicken curry n nuggekayi saaru. The best ever combination it was. The nuggekayi saaru was so good that you can feel that essence as soon as you take a bite. To the end comes the real Gamer SEA ROCKS SPECIAL PALAK RICE , I was unaware that palak rice can be so tasty as it is here. The prominent flavour of palak hitting the senses makes you drool more. Must try when you are here. To end a hearty meal we got our hands on the Ragi manni, nothing but a Panna cotta. To conclude, sea Rock is place for all the food lovers especially the sea food lovers.

The food was really good. Sea food cooked with manglorean masalas is really tasty. A special Thank you to the amazing staff who made us feel at home.

Saturday afternoon lunch was so well sorted in Searock !!! This place is loaded with vivid variety of droolworthy seafood and Manglorean cusine. We tried the Vegetarian dishes and trust me , their vegetarian dishes are lip smacking and appetizing. We tried their signature dish like paneer,egg & mushroom ghee roast and they were mind blowing. The masala use were so well blended and well cooked to perfection and the show stoppers !!! Their main courses like neer dose and kote ( Manglorean idly steamed inside a leaf pouch ) was so immaculate and their gravies were promising Their signature dessert - Ragi manni is very good and the sweetness was to the mark. Over all the place is best for family and group parties with the best food . Pro tip : 1. liquor is also served inside 2. Parking for car is a bit tuff since the place is located at the main road 3. Cards accepted

The place is just above shivananda stores. They have vallet parking. The dining space is very spacious and the staff are very courteous. The washrooms are kept support clean. The food we ordered was very tasty food portion size. We would really come back for the fish fry. The fish tawa masala was just delicious, not too spicy or too much masala coating. The fish was fried perfectly. Neerdosa pundi were fresh and good. The Mangalore chicken curry was flavourful and mildly spicy which complemented the dosa and pundi perfectly. Also they give a bowl of tomato sandige while waiting for the food.. and it gets over in no time!

Five stars for Taste. Four stars for location and ambience. All items would be super authentic in mangalore style. Ghee roast prawns are finger licking, a must try. Prices are too high. Double check menu card before ordering. Some simple orders might end up you paying 1000 bucks more.

We tried purely Mangalore style food this time, including Seer fish tawa fry, Neer dosa, Mutton ghee-rost, Mangalore Fish Curry, Ghee rice and ragi pudding... Out of all this I specially liked the Fish Curry..it was too authentic. All over experience was nice..and stuffs were also Courteous.. looking forward to try more dishes in future.

Sea Rock Yes this place is really an ocean of tasty Sea food. This Place is in the busy central Bangalore and consistently they have been maintaining the food taste and their highest quality. I had the privilege of having this awesome food and satisfying my taste buds with the ocean of sea food in my tummy. Tawa Pomfret ? is tender inside & crispy outside served with a spicy chutney. It is a perfect starter. It is healthy food. Very well marinated with the masala and fried it on the tawa and it’s very delicious. Silver Fish ? Rava Fry is a yummy appetizer, Fish coated with home made masala and deep fried until crisp, This makes an excellent starter. It was made in such a way that any one who doesn’t eat fish also will start eating it, there was has no fishy taste or smell it was so well done. Chicken ? Ghee Roast , a classic Mangalorean style Ghee Roast chicken, is a traditional recipe from the kitchen of Mangalorean households. A combination of succulent pieces of chicken marinated and cooked in a robust masala cooked in rich ghee. This recipe will literally leave your family asking for more. Mangalorean cuisine hails from South Karnataka that has influence from their neighboring state like kerala. Thus the use of coconut, pepper and curry leaves are strong in their cuisine. There is hardly any space left in the tummy so let’s go to dessert ? Ragi Manni - It was a delicious note to end the lunch. Ragi Manni is a traditional, healthy dessert whose origins could be traced to the diverse cuisines of Karnataka. The ingredients to make this delicious pudding is finger millet (ragi), jaggery (much healthier than the regular sugar), coconut milk, and a couple of cardamoms a teaspoon ghee to grease the pan. Here’s the delicious, healthy dessert! The friendly staffs makes it more a memorable experience and yes I do recommend this place.
