Seashell Restaurant offers a promising seafood experience with a variety of cuisine options, though our overall experience was mixed. The **ambience** is great—well-lit, spacious, and welcoming, though often crowded. Located conveniently in the center, the added juice bar at the entrance is a nice touch. The **hospitality** was commendable, and the staff were attentive. We explored a range of dishes: - **Soups**: The Spicy Chicken Soup was flavorful, and the Chicken Herb Soup felt unique and refreshing. - **Starters**: Dragon Potato was tasty, while Veg Sheekh Kebab and Achari Paneer Tikka were average. The Lahm Meshwi was good, but the Squid Tawa Fry was just okay. - **Seafood**: BBQ Lobster had an excellent presentation but was pricey with a low portion size. Fish Finger and Namak Fry were delicious, Tandoori Prawn was okay, and Crab Lollipop stood out. - **Main Courses**: Shanghai Crispy Chicken, Black Pepper Chicken, and Chicken Bolognese were all great! Peri Peri BBQ Chicken was good, and Paneer Butter Masala paired well with parathas. Mutton Rogan Josh was satisfying, though Mushroom Tikka and Aloo Mutter Masala were just average. - **Pasta & Fusion**: Penne Rosa and American Chopsy were delightful highlights. While the presentation and service were impressive, a few dishes had issues and had to be replaced. That said, the restaurant is well-maintained, and despite some inconsistencies, it was a good dining experience. TIP: Best to visit during non-peak hours for a better experience.
Had an early dinner. The ambience was good. Had spicy corn chicken soup similar to hot and sour soup but though it was listed under Chinese soups it didn't taste Chinese. We had garlic naan with chicken tikka masala. The naan was a bit leathery and the chicken tikka masala was sweetish like butter chicken masala. Maybe they use the same base sauce. Veg fried rice was okay but oily. Garlic chicken dry was good. Service was quick. Parking is a problem but they have valet. The taste and quality seems to have gone down over the years.
A good and spacious restaurant with a variety of food from Indian to mughlai to Arabic to Chinese at affordable prices
