Restaurants in Port Blair

  1. A

    New Lighthouse Restaurant

    The New Lighthouse is the sort of open-air seafood place autorickshaw drivers recommend because they assume this is what Port Blair tourists are looking for. Unfortunately, it’s breezy and open air because it’s kind of falling apart, but hey, if you want fresh, whole grilled fish, lobster or crab, they got you covered here.

    Waves

    This breezy open-air beachfront restaurant is a good spot for lunch or an evening meal beneath the palms; indoors it's a bit dismal. Seafood is available (crab and lobster by weight), along with Thai and Indian dishes. You can get a beer at the resort next door.

  3. C

    Mandalay Restaurant

    If you need to splurge, you can do a lot worse than the Mandalay’s excellent buffet (breakfast Rs200, lunch and dinner Rs350), heavy with Indian and Western faves served on either an attractive deck or in a not-quite-as-appealing Burmese-themed interior.

    Lighthouse Residency

    The Lighthouse is lit like a fluorescent nightmare, but the air-conditioning is cranked, the beer’s cold and Thai and Chinese dishes make a welcome addition to the Indian favourites. Try the fish tikka – well-grilled goodness, if dinky portions.

    Annapurna

    Annapurna is an extremely popular veg option that looks like a high-school cafeteria and serves consistently good karma-friendly fare, ranging from crisp southern dosas (paper-thin lentil-flour pancakes) to rich North Indian–style curries.

    Adi Bengali Hotel

    This energetic canteen does a brisk stock-in-trade in spicy fish curries and other West Bengal staples. Everything’s prepared pretty well, if the usual clientele of silent, satisfied Bengali labourers is any proof.

    New India Cafe

    There’s not terribly much ‘new’ about this rather worn locals’ favourite. You will find well-done vegetarian and nonvegetarian from across India, and breakfast omelettes are surpassingly scrumptious.

    Ha-O

    The onsite restaurant for Sun Sea Resort is one of the better up-market eateries in town, well-regarded for its tandoori grill and excellent North Indian of the heavy Punjabi curry sort.

  9. Durbar Hotel & Juice Bar

    For cheap clean eats and juices, try this place; the lunchtime side dish of spicy fish fillet goes well with a thali.
