Gajalee has just three locations in all of India, and all three are located here in Mumbai. The Malvani-inspired seafood restaurant offers everything from Rava-fried king fish, broiled prawns, and even squid cooked in spicy curry. The spice comes from a pepper native to Malvani cuisine, called tirphal; a cousin of Sichuan peppers, it gives a fiery kick guaranteed to leave you reaching for ice-cold solkadhi, a beverage accompaniment made from coconut milk and kokum.
