If you’ve ever wandered into a top rated seafood restaurant like Swagath at Ambience Mall, Gurgaon, you’ve probably caught a whiff of irresistibly coastal dishes. It’s hard to miss! Swagath has long been a favourite haunt for seafood lovers, drawing everyone from homesick South Indians to Gurgaon locals looking for their next flavourful escape.
What keeps people coming back? It’s the kind of place where you taste both the sea and the tradition behind each dish. It’s this dedication to authenticity that has earned Swagath a reputation as the best seafood restaurant in Gurgaon.
Let’s talk about what makes Swagath the go-to seafood restaurant for anyone craving truly authentic coastal dishes.
Swagath’s culinary roots lie deep in the spice trails of Mangalorean and Malabari kitchens. We aren’t just a restaurant that serves seafood. Our kitchen is built on coastal memories—of bustling fish markets, Sunday curries, and hand-ground spice pastes. Whether it’s the robust curries of Karnataka or the mellow richness of Kerala, you’ll find honest, flavourful storytelling in every dish. And yes, everything tastes better when the seafood is this fresh.
It’s no surprise then that we are often recommended as the top seafood restaurant in town—especially for those looking to explore the best of South Indian coastal cuisine in a fine yet familiar setting.
Here’s a curated list of eight seafood dishes that really showcase what we do best:
If there’s one dish that sums up Swagath’s spirit, it’s this. The Crab Ghee Roast is unapologetically messy, cooked in a thick Mangalorean-style masala with ghee, dry red chillies, and roasted spices. It’s the kind of meal you eat with your hands, a roll of tissues by your side, and zero regrets. It’s spicy, indulgent, and exactly what crab should taste like.
This coastal classic from Karnataka is a favourite among regulars. A beautifully balanced curry of prawns simmered in coconut and spice, Prawn Gassi pairs like a dream with neer dosa or even plain steamed rice. It’s got warmth, depth, and that slow-building heat that makes coastal curries so moreish.
Grilled whole, marinated with tangy spices, and charred just right, Pomfret Tandoori is for those who enjoy their seafood without the fuss of curry. The marinade packs a punch, but it never overpowers the delicate flavour of the fish. Perfect for anyone who wants a lighter yet smoky indulgence.
Mild, fragrant, and slightly sweet, this Kerala-style curry is a treat for those who like subtlety in their meals. Cooked in coconut milk with turmeric and curry leaves, Meen Moilee is comforting and light—ideal if you want to enjoy seafood without the fire.
Served golden and crisp on the outside, juicy within, the Fish Tawa Fry is coated in a light semolina crust and shallow-fried on a hot tawa. Often made with surmai (kingfish), it’s a perfect starter that comes alive with the mint chutney on the side.
Not your everyday biryani. This one layers fragrant rice with marinated fish and cooks it in the dum style, locking in aroma and flavour. The Hyderabadi Fish Biryani has a distinct coastal note but still feels like a proper biryani. Aromatic, hearty, and incredibly delicious.
For spice lovers, this curry doesn’t hold back. Fiery and tamarind-sharp, the Mangalorean Prawn Curry is bold, coconut-heavy, and deliciously intense. It demands something soft on the side—like steamed rice or appam—to soak up every last spoonful.
If you’re after something a bit more mellow, our Lemon Butter Prawns is the answer. Soft, garlicky prawns bathed in lemon-butter sauce—it’s seafood comfort food, with a dash of fusion. Great for kids or anyone easing into coastal flavours for the first time.
Most of these curries beg for a soft, starchy side to balance out the heat and soak up the sauce. We recommend trying:
To drink? A tall sweet lassi helps with the heat, while sol kadhi, made with kokum and coconut milk, is a coastal classic that cools and refreshes.
