Customer Reviews
A really old establishment. Known for great dosas. A complete no frills great food experience. Usually there's a line to get a table and they don't take reservations. You may be expected to share tables if it's really crowded. Service is really quick. They serve great food at very low prices.
We went to this place on Saturday with my Mumbai Friend, I had fast and hadn't eaten anything since morning, we had to wait for quite some time as it was Saturday but once we were inside we ordered Mendu wada, mysore masala dosa and belebee rice. I enjoyed the crisp mendu wada the most along with the chutney. I liked chutney more than the sambhar. We ordered extra chutney and had ensured that we fill our tummy. Over all nice experience. Only table sharing with strangers but It is ok else you would have to wait more. It was good south indian food at this place. Seating can be improved..
Authentic South Indian food. Simply woww..Rasam Vada, Masala Dosa, Rawa Dosa, Idli Sambar are my favv dishes here. And filter coffee to top it all..
If you want to enjoy most authentic Veg South Indian dishes in Mumbai, then you should not look beyond this place. Normally it is always crowded. We got our table after five minutes of waiting. We had Steam Idli Sambar, Medu Vada, Rasam Vada, Mysore Masala Dosa, and Pessarettu Dosa(Moong Dal Chilra). Each and every item was excellent. Then we had Pineapple Sheera which was just too good followed by Kappi(Filter Coffee). It is impossible to get this quality of food in any five star hotels. This restaurant was started in 1940 and now it is managed successfully by third generation. They also opened retain store in 2016 which sells sixty kinds of snacks like Banana Chips, Pickles, different Masalas and Coffee Powder. The rates were very reasonable. After dinner it was nice to meet the kind hearted owners Devraj and Siddharth. This place is worth visiting from any corner of Mumbai.
