Bengaluru has its share of restaurants and pubs serving the best of food. What we find to be the perfect main course or appetizer or even a bowl of soup includes fresh seafood cooked delicately and to perfection. Plenty of restaurants are trying to serve the best of this variety, but some still need to meet our expectations. These few restaurants met or exceeded our expectations of how seafood should be prepared and served. Take a look at the nest seafood in Bengaluru.
1.Meen Polichathu
Mangalorean cuisine comes to the forefront at Pulimunchi with delectable seafood cuisine prepared authentically. Try the Meen Polichathu, a fragrant fish dish in which the fish is cooked and wrapped in a banana leaf with a side of Neer Dosa.

BonSouth’s spread for their buffet is excellent regarding the variety of food and the price. The crab masala served as part of their buffet is well worth the money. A spicy tomato-based masala cooked along with the crunchy crab is the ultimate seafood delight.
9.Calamari Egg Drop Soup
Although seafood soup is usually an extreme hit or miss at restaurants, Banjara makes the perfect bowl of soup for all seafood lovers. We always go for the Tom Yum soup, but the Calamari Egg Drop was a big hit the first time we ordered it. Perfectly flavored with a hint of lemon and coriander leaves, it brings out the unique taste of the squid and egg.

These batter-fried prawns have unique flavors incorporated into a dish. A special mixture of coriander and cumin compliments the flavors of prawns to perfection.
