Outstanding Chilean Sea Bass: Mayur | Corona Del Mar, California

Mayur serves up authentic, delicious Indian food in Orange County. I’m still dreaming about their Chilean Sea Bass.

After relocating to California from the New York area, I often wondered if I’d be lucky enough to find a good Indian restaurant, one that I would I find myself going back to time and time again, thankfully I did.

I often passed Mayur while driving on Pacific Coast Highway, it’s hard not to miss the bright turquoise sign. I was excited to experience my first Sweet Potato Chaat here, a spin on the classic Papdi Chaat. The food at Mayur is flavorful and authentic. If you’re looking for quality Indian cuisine in Orange County, look no further than Mayur.

Shareable Street Foods

Samosa: almost resembling an empanada, a fritter filled with savory potatoes, peas, coriander seeds and earthy spices. Mayur’s version is excellent! A favorite.

Sweet Potato Chaat: a healthier take on the classic Papdi Chaat, this sweet potato chaat is not fried, but rather consists of sweet potatoes packed with the same chutney flavors. A favorite.

From the Charcoal Fired Tandoor

Chilean Sea Bass: flash cooked in a clay oven at 800 degrees, the Chilean Sea Bass is perhaps one of the best fish dishes I’ve had to date. The sizzling platter arrived with peppers, onions, and succulent sea bass. If you only order one thing, this should be it! Outstanding and a favorite.

Curry

Lamb Karahi: tender lamb cooked in a gravy flavored with cardamom, fenugreek and garam masala. Although I’m not really a lamb person, I was impressed. If you like lamb, order this.

Aloo Gobi: cauliflower and potatoes sauteed with aromatic Indian spices. Highly flavorful, however slightly salty.

Tandoori Bread & Rice

Ajwain Paratha: Indian flatbread flavored with carom seeds was excellent. This is something you don’t often see on an Indian menu so it was a nice change. A favorite.

Garlic Naan: delicious, soft garlic naan. A favorite.
Basmati Rice: aromatic.

Drinks & Dessert

Gulab Jamun: deep-fried dumpling tossed in a rose water simple syrup. Delicious. A favorite.

Sweet Lassi: typical sweet lassi, well made.

Masala Chai: soothing, but not quite robust in flavor.

My experience at Mayur was wonderful. I’ve been dreaming about that Chilean Sea Bass, hence I’m excited to dine at Mayur again. On my next visit, I will try one of their classic dishes… Chicken Tikka Masala. The service at Mayur was warm and hospitable. Our hostess, Anju, welcomed us and took the time to address any questions we had. If you’re looking for authentic, delicious Indian food in the OC, check out Mayur. Highly Recommended.

The best moments are cuddling with you. I love how you snuggle up to me... oh I just wanna bottle up every ounce of your newborn scent.  You are the BEST thing that has ever happened to me. I’m trying to cherish every moment with you because one day I will look back and wonder where the time went. The days are long, but the years are short. ❤️⁠

⁠
How can I love someone this tiny so much? He tests my patience every day, but also brings me so much joy! ⁠
⁠
For all you moms who said, “I have no time”, I finally get it. Now, I can’t even spare 5 minutes to shower. Yes, Nisha - Welcome to the Club! I can’t tell you how many people sent me this EXACT message 😂.⁠
⁠
Before I became a mom, the idea of changing diapers and spit-up grossed me out. Now, no biggie. I can’t even count on one hand how many times I’ve put my baby to sleep and I get so excited to have some “me time”. To my disappointment, he wakes up 1/2 hour later and I have to start the process all over again… is he burped, is he wet, is he hungry? The days are long!
⁠
Despite the hardships of motherhood, one of the greatest joys has been watching and holding my baby while he sleeps, and knowing I provide comfort to him like no other. I’m sure he will get used to it and I’ll probably regret it later on, but for now, I am just soaking up these precious moments while he’s still little and innocent. ☺️⁠
