A Kala Ghoda institution serving coastal Indian seafood since 1972, best known for its butter pepper garlic crab.
Tucked into a narrow lane near Kala Ghoda, Trishna has operated since 1972 and remains one of Mumbai's most celebrated seafood restaurants. The dining room is small and often crowded, but the kitchen's coastal Indian preparations, particularly the butter pepper garlic crab, draw diners from across the city and abroad. Portions are generous and meant for sharing. Weekday lunches are calmer than weekend dinners, which can involve a wait even with a reservation.
