It is not only a trip through the turquoise waters and white sands beaches, but also an adventure with the andaman food. Being under the impact of Bengali, South Indian, Thai, and Burmese cuisines, the local food scene in Andaman is a tasty sequence of spices, seafood, and comfort food.
The Andaman cuisine is dominated by seafood. Coconut, mustard and aroma spices are used to make freshly fried fish, prawns, crab, lobster, and squid. Grilled Fish, Fish Curry, and Chilli Prawns are the sea-side delicacies to be missed at the numerous restaurants at Port Blair, Havelock Island, and Neil Island. Such restaurants as Annapurna Cafeteria (Port Blair) and beach shacks in Havelock are popular and serve traditional and tasty food.
Andaman has much to present even to non seafood lovers. Chicken Curry, Mutton Fry and Egg Roast are prevalent in the local restaurants. The island is quite Bengali influenced and this is reflected in Bengali-style dishes like Machher Jhol (fish curry) and Aloo Posto. They can be found at small family run restaurants in Port Blair.
Vegetarians can take local dishes such as Coconut Dal, Vegetable Stew and Banana Flower Sabzi. Annapurna Cafeteria particularly has its fair share of pure vegetarian South Indian and North Indian food.
Foods that are found on the streets are straightforward but good. Eat Samosas, Pakoras and Fresh Coconut Water at the roadside eateries. As a dessert, some local sweets such as Coconut Ladoo and Payasam are a must-have.
The Havelock and Neil Islands also have cafes serving Thai curries, sea food pasta and wood-fired pizzas, usually with a spectacular view of the beach.
Be it in one of the beach shacks or in a local cafe you are having food in Andaman, there is a flavorful touch to your adventure in the island, fresh, soothing, and memorable.
