Believe me when I tell you this - it is difficult to find an economic and goodwatering hole in Malad, East or West. Well, at least it isn't impossible now, but I remember ten years ago, I actually had to go to a skanky bar in Malad East to get a chicken biryani, simply because there was no restaurant in Malad that would prepare a chicken dish at 1 in the afternoon.
However, things are looking up now, with the Malad Link Road coming up and Malad East connected to Malad West and Evershine Nagar quite nicely. Evershine Nagar and Link Road have several watering holes, but these watering holes burn a hole in your pocket! It's too expensive! I mean, it's expensive for the casual drinker as well as the daily drinker. So, where do we go when we need a tipple and do not want to spend too much - and not stand the risk of mild diarrhea the next day? - Coastal Restaurant and Bar in Evershine Nagar.
Placed in the lane just behind the uber expensive and always full Pop Tates, Jugheads and Slice of Lime, Coastal Restaurant and Bar brings back to mind those old days when having a drink and having good food outside did not mean double checking your wallet. The food is excellent, the beers are always chilled and you get almost every liquor or wine that you might desire.
To reach there, you need to first reach the Movietime theater. Go inside the lane and take a right, and once you can see People's Gym, take the immediate left. You will come across some shops, and right bang in the middle of the road is Coastal.
As the name suggests, the hotel really has some good sea food. Though I am not a fan of sea food, I have had the 'surmai' there and I can tell you that I tolerated it quite well. So the next time you are in Malad, and looking for a drink - look for Coastal!
