When you dine by the sea, the experience is incomplete without fresh seafood on your plate. At Yummies Restaurant, our pride lies in serving some of the finest and freshest catches from the nearby Chilika Lake and the Bay of Bengal. From the iconic Chilika crabs to juicy prawns, tender fish, and flavourful squids, every seafood dish is a tribute to the coast of Odisha.
Chilika Crabs – The Crown Jewel 🦀
Chilika Lake is world-renowned for its delicious mud crabs, and at Yummies, we prepare them in ways that bring out their natural sweetness.
- Crab Curry: A rich and spicy preparation where fresh crabs are simmered in a coastal masala base with coconut, mustard, and aromatic spices.
- Butter Garlic Crab: Lightly sautéed with butter, garlic, and herbs for a simple yet irresistible flavor.
- Tandoori Crab: Marinated in a blend of spices and roasted in the tandoor, giving a smoky touch that perfectly complements the crab meat.
