Moonrakers Restaurant at Mahabalipuram near the shore temple is a very good restaurant. After so many years, I had a chance to visit Mahabalipuram yesterday. The place where I used to run around and play as a kid had changed so much. I just couldn't recognize the place itself, the way it had changed in the last four decades.
My daughter and son in law took us there for a treat. He has been telling me about this restaurant for some time now about the way they show you the fresh fish and asks you to choose which one you would love to eat etc. and then we can choose the way it has to be cooked and given in a platter to you.
He took me there yesterday, MoonRakers Restaurant it is called. It looked like a very simple ordinary dhaba like restaurant from outside. I found some foreigners sitting in the chairs and waiting for the food, some looking at the variety of fish kept there and trying to select which one they would like to eat and bargaining the price with them etc
We also saw many types of fish kept there. They have variety in the menu. Squid you can get golden fried and also batter fried. batter fried ones we had ordered as an appetizerthen as usual went in for mixed fried rice and mixed noodles, chose a fish and asked them to tava fry that for us.
Food was very tasty and we enjoyed that very much. Batter fried squid was excellent. Mixed Fried Rice had only sea food and no vegetables or chicken etc as it usually has. they had mixed boneless fish scrambled and mixed with the rice.
Had a nice day at the beach too. Soil erosion was there and most of the beach was eaten up by the sea. I remember seeing a lot of sand in the area when I was a kid.
After a nice trip we came back home happily. Since the day was also cloudy it was not that hot we had enjoyed the trip very much.
You can reach the place by Hip and Hop buses and other transport services because Mahabalipuram is well connected to Chennai. This is basically a non vegetarian restaurant.
