MJ’s Grill & Bar

MJ’s Grill & Bar is a destination dining experience set along the pristine shores of Secret Beach in Havelock Island. Tucked within the serene Vijay Nagar Village in Kalapatthar, the restaurant forms the culinary heart of the Satya Boutique Resort & Spa. Guests are welcomed into a space built entirely from reclaimed Andaman hardwood, where the design philosophy draws the stunning coastal landscape indoors. Offering panoramic views of the Bay of Bengal, the open-air setting is ideal for a relaxed lunch, a romantic sunset dinner, or an elevated cocktail hour under the stars.

Our kitchen is guided by a farm-to-table ethos, with menus driven by the freshest seasonal ingredients and the island's rich marine harvest. We take deep pride in sourcing seafood directly from local waters and pairing it with produce that respects Havelock's fragile ecosystem. Every plate reflects a thoughtful balance of Indian and continental culinary traditions, designed to honor the natural beauty that surrounds us.

Dining Experience & Signature Dishes

We craft menus that capture distinct flavors from major culinary regions of India and beyond, always prepared with a locally inspired touch. The emphasis remains on high-quality seafood and fresh tropical ingredients, elevated by tableside presentation and warm, intuitive service.

• Signature Cocktails: A curated list of craft cocktails built around island-inspired flavors, premium spirits, and in-house infusions — best enjoyed on the upper lounge deck overlooking the sea.
• Seafood Specialties: Lobster, crab, and daily-caught reef fish are grilled, pan-seared, or gently poached and paired with seasonal chutneys, coconut-based reductions, and heritage rice varieties.
• Continental Favorites: Grilled tenderloin, hand-rolled pastas, and slow-cooked Mediterranean vegetables join creative small plates ideal for sharing while the sun dips below the horizon.
• Plant-Forward Plates: Root vegetables, island greens, and tropical fruits are transformed into hearty salads, curries, and grain bowls that highlight the region's agricultural richness.

Breakfast, Lunch & Private Dinner Menus

Every meal service at MJ’s Grill & Bar is designed to complement the time of day and the mood of the island. Morning light brings a starter board of fresh tropical fruits followed by à la carte selections, best taken on the sea-view lounge deck. Lunch is a vibrant affair featuring light seafood plates and dishes built around local harvests — the perfect midday pause between beach excursions and forest trails.

In the evening, the restaurant takes on a warm, amber glow. The laidback Havelock lifestyle guides our dinner service, where we welcome guests to unwind over five-course tasting menus and elevated cocktail pairings. For those seeking an intimate celebration or a truly exclusive experience, we curate private dining on prior reservation, starting at ₹5,000 per person.
