Date of visit: 27th December, 2021 (lunch). Visited this place on our 1st day at Port Blair after reading a lot of good reviews. The place is conveniently located close to Marina Park and Cellular Jail. It is not very far off from Aberdeen Clock Tower. We went for lunch at around noon time. The place was pretty empty at that time. Just 2 other tables were occupied. But in sometime, the tables started filling up. By the time we left, the place was 60% full. We ordered Chili Chicken for starters and Crab in Coconut Gravy and Plain Rice for main course. The food here was delicious and prices were reasonable. There were a selection of live lobsters, prawns and crabs to choose from. Service was okay. Nothing great to be applauded. Don't go here if ambience is important for you. Verdict: Visit for the food, not for the ambience.

When it comes to food in a beachside location we always find seafood. We came to know about New lighthouse restaurant from a random auto driver while we were having our ride to the market. The place is very near to Aberdeen Bazaar. Upon perusing the menu, one is met with a tantalizing array of options, ranging from classic favorites to innovative creations. The lobster is famous there besides that there are many more options. There is a showcase for lobster and other fishes from where you can decide what you want. After choosing the item we have to wait for almost 30 minutes to get the food ready which is quite normal as the place is a bit crowded. There are two options to sit. One is outside the restaurant which includes open spaces too and the other is inside the restaurant which contains the bar. The staff are helpful but the service is not up to the mark. In conclusion, lighthouse is more than just a restaurant—it's an oasis for seafood lovers, a sanctuary where the ocean's bounty is transformed into culinary masterpieces. Whether you're a connoisseur of seafood or simply looking to indulge in a taste of the sea at Post Blair, it's sure to leave a lasting impression because of the taste of the food.

The restaurant is in a great spot, and their staff provided exceptional service. They have been around for 27 years and offer delicious meals!! We had the biggest crab I've ever seen, which was cooked quickly and tasted amazing! Although it isn't necessarily known for its atmosphere, it's certainly worth a visit for its local Andaman seafood. However, I think the price of the live crab was quite excessive.

We went to this hotel on our friend's recommendation and I thought it was a good decision as the food was really good. We wanted to explore some nice sea food and thus inquire about it with locals and some friends who have been to Port Blair, and most of them recommended this new light restaurant. We ordered fish, prawns, and some other items, and the quantity and the food were both awesome. Everyone loved the 555 fish it was tangy and very tasty. I never tasted any fish dish like that ever before. The tiger prawn dish was also very delicious, especially the gravy. It tasted amazing with both rice and roti. We ordered some veg item too as one of our friends was a vegetarian and he too said that the dal makhni we ordered was super tasty. So overall the experience was good and we will recommend this restaurant to all foodies who like to eat delicious food.

Very poorly organized. When you enter the restaurant, everyone is in a hurry. Nobody offered a place to sit. We ordered Tiger prawns and got this. Paid INR 600 for two small pieces of prawns. Strong recommendation: Please AVOID this plac at all costs. I will look to take strong action against these people. AVOID!

Located very close to the Aberdeen Jetty and the Rajiv Gandhi water sports complex, it provides culinary delights not only in seafood but other dishes as well. The service is also very good. But the restaurant lacks air conditioning. The cool sea breeze does play its part really well, but some people might feel bothered because of it.

I recently dined at the New Light House Restaurant and had an incredible experience. This place is a seafood lover's paradise, with a fantastic selection of fresh sea delicacies. The restaurant's reputation for its seafood dishes is well-deserved, and I was thoroughly impressed with the variety they offered. The ground floor is perfect for intimate family gatherings or mini parties. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it an ideal setting for enjoying a meal with loved ones. The fusion of North Indian and Chinese cuisine on their menu was a delightful surprise, offering something for everyone. One of the standout features is the wide range of food options available at a nominal cost for two or more people. This affordability without compromising on quality is truly commendable. Moving upstairs to the first floor, the availability of chilled beer to complement the diverse menu was a refreshing touch. The highlight of my visit was the opportunity to select fresh seafood items like lobster, tiger prawns, and regular prawns, and have them prepared to order. This personalized touch allowed me to enjoy the flavors of the sea in the way I preferred. The skilled chefs did an outstanding job in bringing out the best in these dishes. Overall, I highly recommend the New Light House Restaurant to anyone looking for a seafood feast with a mix of North Indian and Chinese flavors. The comfortable environment, great food variety, reasonable prices, and attentive staff make it a must-visit dining destination. Whether you're planning a family get-together or simply craving a memorable meal, this restaurant certainly delivers on its promise.

Though need to wait a long in the rush lunch hour, but food taste great. Got seat in the ground floor. Its non AC restaurant, so bit tiring in the peak hot weather. Had a giant crab masala and king fish. King fish was not so great, bit chewy. But crab was awesome. caramel custard was also delicious

Food is extremely delicious, service very good. Mr. Rajesh Mandal is a wonderful server. really enjoyed interacting with him.A must visit place !!!

This restaurant is one of the only few sea food restaurants in this locality. That's a reason that it attracts crowd. However the food, its freshness and the prices are not optimum. They keep their fishes in a glassed refrigerated showcase and guests can choose from there. They will let you know the price for the specific item. They were trying to sell sea bass (Bhetki) as Red Snapper to one of my friends. When I challenged in the local dialect that this is a sea bass, then they said that it may be sea bass, but we call it Red Snapper in Andaman. This was hilarious. Plus, the fishes were not at all fresh. We ended up having grilled chicken, some chicken drumsticks fries, noodles and french fries. The grilled chicken was dry and didn't taste anything extraordinary. Prices are higher, compared to the overall package they offer.

No doubt fabulous chef there. Had lobster there for first time. Cost is appropriate a little bit on higher side but cooked so well. Loved it.

I went to this place twice, lobsters was fine but the other recommended dish by the waiter was yummy, great place for a beer & food, must try food joint in port Blair. I would highly recommend this place. It’s reasonably priced.

The New Lighthouse Restaurant in Andaman is a culinary haven! Its picturesque seaside location creates a stunning ambiance, complemented by impeccable service and a diverse menu featuring fresh seafood and delectable local cuisine. The cozy yet vibrant atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for a delightful dining experience, capturing both the essence of Andaman's beauty and its culinary delights.We trued their crab chilli,lobster chilli and grilled tiger prawns which were too good.The staff is very polite.They have open air seating both in ground and first floor.They allow us to choose from the raw fish,crab and lobster which will be displayed to us.Don’t forget to end your meal with their tasty caramel custard.

Amazing taste and wonderful service. Kind enough to explain each dish before we ordered which helped select better. They show you live crab and fishes in their stock before you order. Hats off to the team. Would love to visit again.

Had fish curry twice. The taste was same. Loved it. Tried lobster for the first time. And lobster being exotic dish the proce for small one was 1500/- but it was worth the taste. Loved it I tried caramel custard. Like the taste. Everything was on point. This place is near cellular jail. A must try place

When we reached at hotel, no manager was present there until evening and also was not clean at all however they cleaned later after said. Hotel is ok but not sound maintained, was dirty and smelling. Staffs were good in behave but not good enough to understand Hindi or English to communicate with which was problem for us and only one manager was seen by evening time till 11 PM. No manager was there by daytime. Water problem was seen on the day one and two also, later on they repaired. Manager was good in behave to us. We asked for a extra bed for one extra person, they provided but didn't charge extra money for that. Location was very good, sea facing rooms we have had there and near to Sea North Bay Jetty area and also near to main market bazaar. When we moved out from the hotel room, that time also no manager was seen there.

Family restaurant and Bar joint... This is not comfortable for ladies... Family restaurant means is totally separate......

Good but little expensive... service need to be improved little.

Good

Nice

Great place to be with friends and family. Amazing food and the staff is really helpful in getting the best options available in the place. The ambiance was quite and calm and wonderful view from the corner side table to enjoy the beautiful view of the sea.

They are currently not serving any main course, only starters. They are under staffed and the guy who takes the order is the one who is also the cook so be prepared to wait for a while until you receive your food! Food served is tasty and beer is also served here.

One of the best restaurants in port blair.. As of now due to shortage of staff, restaurants works is not working in full scale

The owner was so good and welcomed with warmth View from terrace is kickass

This restaurant is located on the top floor of the building. Awesome surrounding...cool slow music 😎...good but costly $$$

Good food. Decently priced and the interior looks good.

Nice view from the top of the hotel terrace. Indian restaurant with simple Flavours. Everything is really nice and possibility to drink beer. Best time to go sunset. Nice staff!

Not as expected, not clean, rating is high, food quality moderate, but is fresh

Lovely view. Great pizza, especially the cheese from the margherita ( margarita pizza also has tomato slices and onion so if you don't want it ask to not add it). Good seating also with well placed fans above most of the tables/seats. Some of the staff don't know English but that's fine since some do. Great fresh lemon juice, although it's more like fresh lime soda but water replacing the soda. Fried fish was also good, remember to ask to atleast add some masala because the taste is somewhat plain. Also there is a restaurant cat, cute fluffy and very fat, they must've feed the cat the delicious food from there since its so fat.

Do not eat here. The food is mediocre, mostly over salted to say the least. The beer selection is only two: Budweiser and Hunter. The worst part is the service. They usually sit there on their phones, unwilling to take any order. They take over 40 minutes to make an order because they are too busy fulfilling orders from swiggy. When you ask them where your order is, they say five minutes. When it doesnt come 20 minutes later, you approach them and they walk away laughing at you. Extremely rude service. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Good place for bachelors and solo travelers . I find it very comfy for a solo traveller girl to try out new food with genuine taste and authenticity ..

If you are vegetarian, chances are high that you will visit this restaurant. Place is situated below ground level and has a shop on ground floor. Good ambiance, clean place and nice food. This hotel specialises in north indian cuisine and the taste is very good.

One of vegetarian restaurant at Junglighat, at port Blair, it’s in the basement, food and services are okay

We ordered Paneer lababdar, Cold coffee and special pizza. Paneer lababdar was really good considering it's price. The naan we order was also really good. The Special pizza was very awful. Cold coffee I'd rate to be okayish. The service was really slow and the waiters had no idea about the dish. Later on we ordered Donut and chocolate truffle pastry. Truffle was good but the Donut was old and felt very hard to eat. Overall good place to eat due to value for money but there's always scope for improvement.

Cake and others sweets are good.... Needs to improve dine area..... Looks like too old..... One positive Point is that pure veg. In dinning area they are preparing sweets packing its look odd when someone is eating food

Ordered Jeera Rice with Mutter Paneer from Zomato (Rs 103.48/-). Taste is not too good but Healthy, less oil and spicy.

Food quality is good but not as much rating and they promise so. Sweet shop is iconic in Andaman

It's a pure vegetarian hotel with a pretty good ambience..Food here is delicious. Must Recommended

Nice place to have lunch & dinner. Pros 1. Good food. 2. Reasonable price. 3. Great service. 4. Coffee is fantastic. Cons 1. Water was not available in the washroom. Might be some maintenance.

Must Visit place! Food is very very tasty & a must try place for amazing & delicious Veg food (Non-vegetarians must also try atleast once)! We ordered Laccha paratha, Garlic Naan, Dal Sunahari which is Dal Tadka, Jeera Rice & a very tasty Hyderabadi Do Moti (It is a mild spicy gravy of Corn & green peas)! P.S. There Veg Raita is very tasty & a must try! They also gave us a complimentary Sweet dish at the end which was Coconut Crush Burfi & it was a perfect dessert for us (Not too sweet)!

During my visit to Port Blair, I had the pleasure of dining at Icy Spicy restaurant, and it proved to be a delightful experience. One of the highlights of this restaurant is its extensive vegetarian menu. As a vegetarian myself, I was thrilled to find a place that offers a variety of flavorful options. The paneer dishes were particularly good. The roti served alongside the dishes was soft and freshly made, enhancing the overall dining experience. I also had the opportunity to try their coconut crunch barfi, and it was truly a treat for the taste buds. The ambience of the restaurant was another aspect that stood out to me. The cozy and relaxing atmosphere made it an ideal spot for a family dinner. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, I highly recommend Icy Spicy restaurant to anyone seeking a satisfying vegetarian dining experience in Port Blair. The quality of the food, the pleasant ambience, and the friendly service make it a standout choice among the limited options available in the area.

I haven't dined here, it was always delivery thing. I ordered different types of pasteries like Pineapple, butterscotch, choco chip, vanilla, strawberry and truffle. Truffle and chocochip were same except their garnishing. Butterscotch, vanilla and strawberry were same except their garnishing as well. I ordered vada pav which was good, samosa filling was awesome. Will keep ordering.

There aren't many decent (pure)vegetarian places in Port Blair, and icy spicy is one of the few there are. They serve decent food in a hygienic environment. I would recommend eating north-indian food here, they're also quite pocket friendly!

Very nice experience. Food was tasty. Ordered Dal makhni, masala kulcha, margarita pizza, shakes. All were very good. In the last, they served their special coconut brownie which was complementary and tasty. However one suggestion that they can work on improving their interiors, like lighting or changing the fabric of sofa/chairs

Dining at Icy Spicy in Port Blair was a culinary adventure that left me thoroughly impressed. This pure veg restaurant not only exceeded expectations in terms of taste but also in ambiance and service. The menu at Icy Spicy is a gastronomic delight, offering a diverse array of vegetarian dishes that cater to various palates. From flavorful appetizers to hearty main courses, each dish was a testament to the chef's skill in crafting delicious meat-free options. The fusion of spices and the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients contributed to the overall excellence of the dining experience. The restaurant's ambiance was both inviting and vibrant. The tasteful decor and comfortable seating created a welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal place for a leisurely meal or a celebratory dinner. The staff at Icy Spicy were attentive and courteous, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. One highlight was the impressive presentation of dishes, showcasing not only the chef's culinary expertise but also a commitment to aesthetic appeal. The dessert selection was equally enticing, providing a sweet conclusion to the savory journey. Icy Spicy stands out not just for being a pure veg restaurant but for delivering an exceptional dining experience overall. Whether you're a vegetarian enthusiast or someone looking to explore meat-free options, Icy Spicy in Port Blair is a must-visit for its delicious food, inviting ambiance, and attentive service. It truly embodies the essence of a culinary gem in the heart of Port Blair. Highly recommended for those seeking a memorable vegetarian dining experience.

pure veg restro but price is too much high here. but as compared similar to other pure veg restro. taste is ok. also we order chapati but they give us old chapati and after complain they changed and provide fresh chapati.

I ordered food from this restaurant They sent me rotten food which is very bad taste and the sweet also which they had sent me was spoiled and in dal there is a small small worm Totally bad experience I will surely register complaint against them and I will definitely inform food safety department

One of the best outlets for sweets snacks in Port Blair

Icy spicy had good food hygiene and best part is ambience. They have Jain food without onion and garlic.only thing is they will provide for 2 person even for solo. But otherwise food and employees are respectful and treated well mannered

Today we ordered butter naan, Punjabi masala and fish fingers. Butter naan was too bad in taste. When we review to the manager and waiter refused to except it. For this kind be behaviour local public are avoid to take foods from Ananda Restaurant. May Owner of Ananda Restaurant may understand, why sale are going down.....

We visited this place on the 9th of March 24 to have dinner. To start with, the waiter was highly unprofessional, and did not even have the basic decency to speak politely with the customers. He repeatedly ignored our orders, despite the restaurant having only 5-6 customers apart from us. He dropped a pen and pad asking us to write down our own order, something that is not expected from a restaurant that claims itself to offer "The Best Dining Experience in Port Blair". This was not even the worst part of the dining experience. The food that they cooked and served was possibly the worst that we had seen or tasted in our life. We are attaching the photos of vegetable clear soup and chicken clear soup, that we ordered.

The only thing I liked about this place is the fish tank, it was a complete mind relaxing to watch the fishes swim while you are enjoying your meal. Food was fine as compared to the other restaurants in the city. But the place seems a bit non spacious. Rest room is also small and not clean, but atleast better than the other restaurants.

Returning from Havelock and Neil after 4-5days trip and having lots of sea food there, we went there to eat after reading reviews but fish curry taste was worst and prawn masala was not as good as we eat in Havelock or other places. I left whole piece of fish and no one liked fish curry. Prawn was ok. 2/5 food taste.

Food is very good. Don't go on the looks of restaurant. They serves very yummy food.

Today we order biriyani and tandoori chicken . All the dishes was too bad in taste. The biriyani which they gave was too cold. They just served mornings food in a very bad way For this kind of behaviour i will advise everyone to avoid foods from Ananda Restaurant. If we are paying money we should get what we want.. Very disappointing..

This is a very budget-friendly restaurant with good quality food. We went there 3 times during our 5-day stay at Port Blair and loved it every single time. It is located right in the center of the market and also has a very beautiful aquarium inside, with lots of beautiful fishes. You can sit right beside the huge aquarium and enjoy your meal.

The place was very unhygienic. Foul smell all over the restaurant, along with less quantity and overly priced food. Plus, the staff was too slow to act and take orders. Also, in place of balance amount against your bill you will be paid in chocolate/toffee of the same value. Totally, not at all value for money!

Our driver recommended this saying it's good. I literally feel like slapping him for taking us to such a dirty and horrible place. There was absolutely zero management, they even told us to move from our table because they had to combine it with another big one. We thought maybe the food will be good but this place had to just serve the worst Dal Makhni I've ever ate, and their curd was just overpriced sour water, that too these mere basic items took more than 15 minutes. If it were upto me, I'd just shut this place down. DON'T EAT HERE!

Very poor service and staff attitude. Least interested and unclean and dark environment. Fish tank looks good but staff is quite rude and disinterested. Reasonable pricing but poor food quality and hygiene.

Good food to recharge during sightseeing around Andaman island. Loads of options to choose from and service is decent. Prices are usual for this region

Chicken kabab was good. The rice in Curd rice was slightly under cooked/hard. It was fairly crowded and seems to be old establishment. You can visit and try days special. Simply ask the one who will take order.

Good food but limited option in south indian food, and lobsters are of high price Startes options are very limited

Food is so-so.The ambience is not so good.The restaurant looks a bit shabby.Washroom is not cleaned properly. They should improve cleanliness and hygiene. However,if you can ignore all these aspects,you may go there for food,as there are not many good eateries nearby. If you order a fish thali, make sure to check number of pieces beforehand,because they don't deliver what they promise.

Fish food items not upto mark. Mediocre. Other items like noodles may be better.

One of the best restaurant of Port Blair. Located on Rajiv Gandhi road it offers the best food in the town. It specialises in both veg and non veg including sea food. Biryani is a must try other fish dishes. The prices are very much competitive as compared to other restaurants in the town. The service is good. Not very crowded usually, one will have to wait for 15 minutes before order gets ready.
