The Sea Secret - NIBM

"We came for the first time after reading the many good reviews. And we were extremely pleased with the food, service and atmosphere. It is indeed one of the best sea food places in the city. Highly recommended!!"

"We keep coming back to The Sea Secret, and it never disappoints! Had lunch today — the chicken kosha was rich and flavorful, while the chicken ghee roast had just the right amount of spice and depth. Loved pairing them with appam and parotha — both were fresh and soft. Consistently good food and a comforting vibe. Definitely one of our go-to spots!"

"This is by far one of the best sea food restaurants in Pune. Amazing ambience at the open terrace. Their chicken Malabari & Appam are to die for. Don't forget to order their version of the butter garlic prawns. We tried Andhra chicken & Mandeli fish fry"

"Had an absolutely wonderful experience at Sea Secret during their Christmas special lunch! The special set menu was nothing short of amazing—every single dish was spot on. The seafood was fresh, perfectly cooked, and the spices were beautifully balanced, letting the natural flavors shine without being overpowering. The seafood soup served at the start truly set the tone for the meal—warm, flavorful, and comforting. The biggest highlight (the real cherry on the cake) was the exceptional service—attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. What makes it even better is the Christmas special couple menu priced at just ₹2599 + taxes, which is incredible value for the quality and experience offered. The ambience is elegant yet cozy, making it a great choice for both families and couples. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience from start to finish, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended for seafood lovers! 🌊🍽️"

"A late review. Chose The Sea Secret (NIBM) for my birthday lunch, last month. Did not want to wander off too far, with mum and a friend in tow, as it was raining cats & dogs hence their NIBM outlet was extremely convenient. To begin the meal, and while away time, they sent papads and chutney to our table. The chutneys they serve with the papads and seafood starters are superb! Btw, we havrats requested more papad after we polished the first plate. 🤪 We ordered: Sol Kadi: I dont see how people get this one wrong. The Sol Kadi here sucked. It was sweet, had too much kokam (or kokum syrup), absolutely no warm hit to the throat of chilies, ginger/garlic. Nope, until they work on this recipe, do not order this. They did not charge us for this but i hope they improve on this recipe the next time i visit coz i love a good Sol Kadi. Dont give up on this write up just yet coz the food was a BOMB! 🥳🥳 Butter Garlic Prawns: Not the usual butter-garlic but no complaints. This one was creamy and so yum!! Rawa Fried Bombil: 5 crisp medium sized bombils fried to perfection. These were so good that we reordered this. 😍 Rawas Achari Tikka: Juicy, succulent pieces of rawas with a fantastic achari hit. The achari hit did not overpower the palate at all. Prawn Manglorean Sukka: It wasn't "sukka" but the flavour was nice. We would've definitely preferred it "sukka". We ordered Amboli and Appams with this so they assumed (they shouldn't have) that we'd prefer it with a little gravy. Wasn't bad at all, in fact it was quite, quite good but definitely not "sukka". Amboli: It was superb. I'd never tried amboli. This was my 1st time trying it and i was fida over it. Appam: They were a tad rushed to make it, hence the 2st two appams served were soft & limp. We requested them to cook them to cook the rest to a slight crisp, correct texture and they very kindly complied. We ordered a Malai Matka Kulfi to share. It was by Grameen Kulfi, and it was superb. It had that light reduced milk flavour and gave off a light caramel hit. Apologies, we dug into it and i realized i hadnt ckicked a pic hence the half eaten kulfi pic. 🙈 They very sweetly comped this as a birthday treat. The washroom was quite clean. The service was excellent!! The manager Mr. Ahmed was extremely kind, courteous and very open to honest, polite, constructive feedback. Loved that! Now i only hope they rectify that Sol Kadi recipe. Meri gaadi ussi par atki hai. 🙈😄 Taken away 1 star because Sol kadi is such an important part of a seafood meal. Our bill was 3553. We had opted for a 20% discount Zomato slot, plus Zomato suddenly gave me a birthday code for an additional discount 🥳, and we ended up paying 2550.66. Absolute paisa vasool meal."
