It is an establishedfact that some of the most delicious food is found in the most unlikely places.The more unkempt and untidy a venue appears to be, the more culinary promise ithas. This is particularly true in the case of Starlight Bar and Restaurant. Whilethe venue in itself is not inspiring enough to make you pull over, the logjamin traffic around it certainly is. Purely by word of mouth and sheer curiosity,the little restaurant in Arpora runs a thriving business.
Known for its seafood,Starlight will find something for the preference of every kind of marine aficionado. The service is raptand attentive, and the cooks are literally psychic as they manage to churn outyour food as soon as you think of what you would like to sink your teeth into.The freshness of the catch belies the thought that the food may have beenprepared in advance as well.
The shark ambotik is asignature house dish, and is known to leave first time consumers with anexpression that is a mixture of bewilderment, a dawning comprehension offlavours and most definitely joy. The tang accompanied by the slightly spicyaftertaste of this preparation is to die for. And for those that prefer a saferbet, a good old fashioned serving is just what the doctor chef ordered.With a strong onion base, this curry is a little milder than most, and yet hasa little bite to it from the chilly that is infallibly immersed in the servingdish. For those that believe that food should be eaten straight off theskillet, anything that is marinated in a spicy red masala, and then coated inrawa, before being fried until a light golden brown, is something that you justcan’t go wrong with. Be it prawn, a variety of fish, or mussels, the culinarytreats on offer here are plenty.
As people will crowdabout you in a very discomfiting manner, and frown upon you for dawdling in aseat (as soon as you have swallowed your last mouthful) that is rightfullytheirs (you have doubtlessly merely borrowed it), this meal with not beleisurely. But hasty or not, it promises to leave your palate and stomachsatisfied. Five stars for a superb meal indeed.
