Today afternoon we went for lunch to this place after going through all positive reviews about it. The space of the restaurant is divided between two restaurants namely dakshin culture and diva maharashtracha. Because of this we get a unique vibe of this place.
Firstly we ordered sol kadhi, mattha and thalipeeth. Sol kadhi and mattha was awesome and thalipeeth was good enough. Next for main course we ordered jowar bhakhri, amboli, rice chapati, pitla and bharleli wangi. Bharleli wangi was mouthwatering and not to forget the gravy was the enhancing factor. Pitla, jowar bhakhri, amboli and rice chapati was bang on. The spice level of the food was so perfect such that my 7 year old kiddo could even relish it. Even the accompaniments like thecha and chutney was fair enough.
I would also like to mention that the waiters and steward were very helpful and provided good service. But the restaurant is very pricey considering maharashtrian cuisine.
Overall I would say,
Food 5/5
Service 5/5
Ambience 4/5
Value for money 3.5/5
I had Savji Mutton here with Rice Bhakari.
It was alright; but overdone on pepper.
I have previously had Savji mutton actually in Nagpur and this although gave a hint of it; didn't come very close. It didnt have the homely cooked feel. Yet the mutton was cooked nicely and in good quantity and tasted alright. So 4 star.
Based on this experience I might not go back here.
Awesome food and ambience! Especially loved the kolhapuri mutton sukha, definitely a must try.
When in Mumbai... don't forget to visit the Diva Maharashtracha for authentic Maharashtrian food. Also met the wonderful and charming founder and host Dr. Suhas Awchat.

Lives up to its reviews and certainly our expectations. Love the combination between the two menus. We especially enjoyed their signature dish tender cocunut sukha bajji. One can order half playes of bajji.milind the guitarist at the venue is the icing on their cake.very helpful qnd cheerful staff. Looking forward to visit again.
The food was excellent and worth the money😍 we ordered the prawns twice coz we couldn't get enough❤ Must Try- Kolhapuri Suke Prawns and Doodhi halwa
Good service by baban and great amebience good food quality
Delicious food we were 5 excellent food mr Sunil served us food it was our celebration of Christmas nice
A place with a wonderful vibe!
From live guitar being played to delectable, finger licking food, this place is for all the foodies like me.
We ordered Chicken 65, Portuguese Chicken, Appam & steamed rice. All were good. 1 thing to highlight, they also charge GPSC (Goa Portuguese Service Charge) @15% along with GST in final bill. You can ask their Manager to remove it & pay final bill

We were in Mumbai for a short trip and when in Mumbai, two things are a must for food - Marathi and Parsi Food. We searched and did some digging online and found Diva Maharastracha. Good reviews and comments, compelled us to try this. Easily spottable from the road, this has two sections on the same floor - Diva Maharstracha, Goa Portuguesa Restrobar. One dedicated to Marathi Food and the other Goan food.
The ambiance of Diva Maharastracha is mostly like a traditional Maratha house which is rare to find in Mumbai nowadays. Pillar, Lamps on them, wooden ceilings all gave the vibe of a Marathi environment.
Food was at its best. We ordered Solkadi and Matha for drinks. Solkadi was new to me and it was something my tongue never tasted. Quite different and satisfying.Next for starters, we opted for Kaju Kothimbir Vadi (blended square pieces of cashew, coriander and something else). What awesome stuff it was! Blown over by simplicity and taste of this item.For the main course, we wanted to go for some fish. So Kolhapuri Sukke(with Rawas Fish) was our choice and to its accompaniment, we ordered Amboli. Both went well. I felt the pair is made in heaven. But we wanted to make it a love triangle. So we brought in Bharleli Wangi and trust me this is the first time when I found Brinjal can give a tough competition to Fish. Each item was delicious and up to the mark.Also, we had a word with the owner of the restaurant - Dr. Suhas Awchat. It is rightly said that a lovely person creates something lovely always. A wonderful man indeed. All the best to Diva Maharastracha Team. Keep it going. This is now on my permanent list, whenever I am in Mumbai.
The owner comes to your table and adresses you. Very ambient place to dine. Three cuisine options. Mostly Try Goan food or maharashtrian seafood. One more important thing, If you talk in marathi with the staff and owner you'll get additional discount from owner's side. This offer is valid from Monday to Saturday
One of the place which authentic maharashtrain cuisine food in the town. Ambience is quite good. Food is up to the mark .
Good food, different cuisine...must visit place
You cannot ask for anything more from them. It is the place for authentic maharashtrian cuisine. It is simply surreal. May that be its service staff hygiene, everything is up to mark.
If you want to try seafood or authentic chicken consider this as your first option.
It is the first place where I have liked each and everything that I have ordered.
Also try their “kolambi karangi” it is a bit fusionated dish but worth a try for people who don’t usually have such food.
Such amazing service..... Food is amazing too.... Staff is so happy and pleasing.... The owner came to chat with every table... Special Mention to the singer who sang with sifh6a beautiful voice..... Good experience.... Will definitely visit again soon
Really good maharshtria and Goan food.. must try... ambience is nice... service is good... staff is very helpful and smiling...

Family outing to one of the very famous outlets in Maharashtra to try out some authentic Maharashtrian delicacy. Although I am hard core meat lover, today was the DAY where a restaurant and its chef had to be tested by the pure veg food. Although they serve exclusive non vegetarian but this day was for greens and more greens ...
Starting with the place, we got a table for 7 by pre-booking since Friday's are rush and hence we pre-booked. Entering the place, the reflections on the wall of the old Portuguese traditional houses with tinted windows made my day. Traditional chandeliers lit up the place and you were immediately looked after by the people attending there. Although the space needs to be a bit more spacious, still every inch in Amchi Mumbai counts ... I appreciate the place for its value engineered space planning.
Starting our evening with the authentic Solkadhi or a digestive kadhi made of kokum (a plant of the mangosteen family) which was very refreshing and tasty. A speciality of Konkan region that extends from Goa through Maharashtra.
Followed by some all time favorites, kaju koshimbir .. perfect blend of cashews with gram flour and chutney. Some very difficult to authenticate and different to my tatse buds. Kudos to the creativity ...
Main course started with some bharleli bhangi ... Stuffed brinjal with spices, peanuts, cashews ... Minimal spices with an outburst of flavours in you mouth and which is enjoyed best with chapati and more with Amboli ... Rice pancakes with padded black beans. Salads are a must so kamang khakdi was ordered which is cucumber with ground peanuts ... Although I have noticed the involuntary touch of peanuts to all Maharashtrian dishes... This tasted exquisite and all they way from the Maharashtrian Thali.
Valanchi Bhirde ... Pulses cooked exclusively with chilly powder and coconut, fused to a very authentic route. Sabudana khichdi was ordered ... Although I was under the impression that it would the same like the one we have during our fasts but absolutely different and enriched this dish was. Followed by some desert where we ordered some Taq to digest the food and cool our bellies followed by some guava icecream which is made here from Guava pulp and milk. Such a steal it was !
Additional the acoustic performance by the singer with Buzzing old hindi bollywood songs reminded me of the old Kishore days.... The manager attending every table asking suggestions and following up with gratitude. The the highlight of the day, the owner for this chain Dr Suhas suddenly bumped into us. His flamboyant nature, talking to everyone in the table appreciating our culture and value. This emotional touch truely moved us and finally he gave us a token of love - beetlenut carved from Siddhivinayak for our future life. Thank you the best vegetarian deal ever for us ... Bongs Lovin the mahatma way ... Cheers 🤩

It was awesome experience here.. we loved the goan dishes.. Baban has helped us awesomely choosing dishes.. recommended for ambience as well..❤️ Saoji Chicken was nice mild spicy dish.. loved the food..❤️

Nice place to dine out..staff(KARAN) is also good and polite........we tried chicken saoji and tawa fry fish...It was really nice and yummy..
Ambience is good...taste is definitely worth..go for it on special occasion..
Dr awchat personally attends customer ..personality and his appearance is special..good lighting and music.
We've been coming here for years. Their food is absolutely fabulous and their service is great. Special thanks to our server Mr. Baban who ensured that our dining experience was the best.
So, here we didn't actually tried the food but went for mocktails and cocktails instead. To start of, this place is so awesomely designed and so authentic in nature, you will fall in love instantly. 5/5 on ambience, the drinks though they took a lil while to arrive, they were good. We tried 1- Orange and mint something cooler
2- Pinacolada I 3- bloody Mary 4- lychee punch. Those drinks were really up to the mark. Perfectly blend. Would definitely try the food here next time around, do give it a try guys.
This restraunt is a must visit for seafood lovers. They serve a variety of dishes of authentic Goan and maharastrian cuisine. Bombil fry is a must have. The caldin rawas curry is tasty and different from the rest of the curry options. We were well served by Babon. Overall a great experience all together.
The staff at the restaurant is extremely hospitable and guides you to the best dishes on the menu. We ordered the prawns hirva masala which was so fresh, juicy with delicate flavours. The mutton pandhara rassa was very tasty staying true to its kolhapuri routes. The light music playing in the background sets a very jolly mood for dinner. Overall great experience and cannot wait to visit again:)))
Went for a family Diwali/Anniversary dinner here and boy, what a miss for all these years! To begin with everyone here welcomes you with a lovely smile followed by warm food. I did not even get a chance to click food pictures coz I wanted to indulge in it as soon as it arrived. There is also live music played that keeps you vibing. Dr. Suhas (founder) dropped by at our table and shared a lovely chat with us including hotel history, some of his personal stories that kept us smiling after our tummies were full. He also gave me a small token of blessing for our anniversary celebration. Can’t wait to visit this place with friends soon 😃

What a fun day at Diva Maharashtra ! There was live singing and the singer was actually very good ! This restaurant was part of a triad, all under the same roof, Diva Maharashtra, Goa Portuguesea , ( since tge owners wife is from Goa ) and Dakshin curry. The owner Dr. Suhas Awchat, an MD , a police commissioner, a restaurateur, who specializes in his putting his customers at ease regaled us with stories about his wife who is not only drop dead gorgeous but a custom officer and a celebrity chef and the son is a surgeon and well, seems like a very talented family and all we could say after he walked away from our table is that , “ Are you folks going to do everything or leave something for us ordinary mortals !”😂
A spicy afternoon indeed, the food was the way Maharashtrian cuisine is meant to be , spicy 🌶️!
The chorizo, goan sausages, spicy and crumbled and the cucumber salad was yumm. The fried fish was fresh and succulent. it’s a great place to eat because you can pick and choose between three cuisines of three places , Maharashtra, Goa and the south ! Wish I hadn’t been on my perpetual diet, then I would have really rolled up my sleeves and gone for it ! #diva Maharashtra#marathicuisine#spicyfood#goodseafood#seafood#goanfood#southfood
One of the finest place situated in Matunga which serves authentic Maharashtrian, Goan & South indian cuisine. The ambience is beautiful and cozy which gives the feel of typical Wada style.
The owner of Diva Maharashatra Mr. Suhas Awchat is very humble person and his Wife Mrs. Deepa Awchat is a master chef. They have 3 outlets in one roof i.e. Diva Maharashtracha, Goa Portuguesa Restrobar & Dakshin Curry Culture.
Starters - We order Zhanzhanit Spicy Chicken Soup, Malwani Bombil fry, Prawns Koliwada Style, Chicken 65. All the starters are taste amazing.
Main Course - We ordered Nagpuri Saoji Mutton and Chicken Sagotti with Appam & Rice. Would highly recommended this dishes.
Overall it was a nice experience. Would love to visit this place again.
I would definetly recommend this place to everyone.
For long time wanted to visit Diva Maharastracha, it was indeed a very good experience, being very choosy about freshenss and taste , some well known food joins I have deleted from my list after visit. Diva Maharastracha is the one to keep in your list, Food preparation ,ambiance is great, menu has lot of items to select from. Combination of Maharastra, Goa and South taste is very rare. enjoyed.
The food over here is amazing
We ordered the Pork Vindaloo and Prawns papad as starters . It was a beautiful combination of sweet and savoury
We topped it off with Apam and Prawns Balchao and that was brilliant too
We accompanied it with a pitcher of 5 glasses of kingfisher.
Very good and quick service. We tried prawn bhajji it was tasty, fully cooked prawn crispy and juicy at the same time.
Sol kadhi was mouth watering.
Food portion is generous. We ordered South Indian fish curry, appam, neer dosa amboli. I didn’t find fish curry matching my palate but everyone liked it. Appam ne’er dosa amboli everything was served fresh and in minutes. It’s overall a pleasant experience.
To mention specially they have this singer sings very amazing songs on your table….. kudos for him too…

Diva Maharashtracha is a world's first Maharashtrian Restrobar. The most interesting thing I liked about this place is that, there are 3 restaurants i.e. Goa Portugeasa, Dakshin Culture Curry & Diva Maharashtracha, under one roof serving three different cuisines. It is nearby from matunga station. Diva Maharashtracha has completed its 12years. The food belongs to various regions of Maharashtra.
This restaurant is run by a beautiful couple. The owner's are very humble. The delicious menu has curated by Masterchef Deepa Awchat. Dr. Suhas Awchat went over to every table to make sure that all the customers are happy with the food & services as well.
The ambience is attractive with the bright coloured overhead lamps. The seating was very comfortable and they have round tables also. From the door man to the manager every single staff member was polite & welcoming. They even have a Guitarist who plays on 4 days of a week in the evening. Also they serve Tax Free Alcohol. They take outdoor catering also.
Coming to the food :
In Drinks we had :
Alphonso Delight : A mandatory drink in summers. Mangoes are fresh & real.
Cucumber Mint Cooler : It was very refreshing which helped me to feel refresh.
In Starters :
Chicken Kolhapuri Sukke : This was incredibly delicious.
Prawns Koliwada : They were so crispy & well roasted. I don't know about other prawns dishes but trust me this Koliwada prawns were very yummy.
In Mains :
Jungli Chicken : One of their signature dish in mains. It tasted very delicious. The gravy is of green colour, we tried this with amboli.
Prawns Kalwan : We tried this curry also with amboli. The prawns were fresh and gravy was so tasty.
In Desserts :
Doodhi Halwa : For the first time I tried and now this has became my favorite dessert. The halwa was extremely delicious.
Puran Poli : It is a signature dessert in maharashtrian cuisine. It was served with ghee. Best puran poli i had till now.
Overall it was an nice experience. Would love to visit this place again.
Highly Recommended.

Finest place situated in Mahim to try out authentic maharashtrian cuisine!!
Beautiful warm and cozy ambience which gives the feel of typical marath Wada style charm..
The owner himself Mr. Suhas. Awchat is a very humble, warm and well known personality, Mrs. Deepa Awchat who is a master chef and the master mind behind all the three outlets they own namely Diva Maharashtracha, Goa Portuguesa, and Dakshin Curry Culture has curated each and every dish personally.
You can definitely feel the personal touch in almost everything served here as none of the dishes that we devoured were over the top spicy and was tastefully done to perfection in terms of taste, quantity, and quality!!
I would highly recommend you to try Malvani bombil fry it was the best👍
Kaju kothimbir wadi was bliss😍
Mutton saoji was delicious and ambotik is highly recommended 👍
Prawns kalwan had beautiful base of cocconut with tangy notes tasted absolutely soulful with steamed rice !!
Lastly we had dudhi halwa which wasn’t mushy infact it had a slight bite to it which was perfectly sweet and garnished with lots of dryfruits, loved it😍😍
They even have some ready to cook masalas and a recipe cookbook curated by Mrs. Deepa which one can purchase and create magic from the comfort of their home for the entire family😀😊
This place is very easy to locate as it is just on the sidewalk near Hinduja hospital.
The ambience and decor is very authentic and royal. They have music playing in low volume in the background which really sets the mood.
The food here is malwani and konkani cuisine. The dishes are really delicious and cooked to perfection.
The must try for me is the Nagpuri Saoji mutton curry with Amboli. The mutton is boneless and the curry is finger licking good. The spices are perfect and tastes really authentic.
The best thing along with the food is the staff. They are very friendly and welcoming. They are always at your beck and call making sure you are having a great time dining with them.
They also have their spices for sale for you to try and re-create their dishes at home.
I had a really good time here, do check this place out.
Diva Maharashtracha ♥️
One of the best Maharashtrian food serving restaurant which is serving delicious food to Mumbaikars since 12 years.
An amazing decor which compliments the superb ambience of this place. The Staff is very efficient and quick with their service. The Food is simply mind-blowing.
In appetizers we tried some yummy dishes like the Kaju Kothimbir Wadi, Watana Batata Pattice and Rawas Koliwada.
Main course dishes were amazing. We tried the Chicken Tambda Rassa and Konkani Prawns Kalvan. For breads we had their Rice and Jwari Bhakris as well as Steamed Rice.
We had Doodhi Halwa for dessert in the end of our meal. One of the best Doodhi Halwa I have had in a long while.

This is a nice, happening place that can be visited with family or friends. The environment is casual. The place is popular with college students and aged patrons alike. Atmosphere is a mix of retro and glimpse of rural village style homes. There is a plenty of food options from Indian to continental. It was a pleasant surprise to see a number of vegetarian options alongside non-veg dishes. Liquor is served. Live guitar is played right at your table on demand. Staff is friendly and service is nice. The place does not play very loud music, which is welcome respite from many other clubs and you can comfortablely chat. All in all, recommended.

Recently visited this restaurant and it is actually I think it is a part of Goa Portuguese itself!
Anyways the entrance was the same!
.
The restaurant ambience was nice, it gave a very Maharashtrian feeling, the Diyas and the images and the colour of the place!
The seating arrangement was nice, there were quite a few good number of tables and they were all full so the place was well crowded!
Mocktails:
* Melon cooler* which was a nice refreshing drink of melon flavor and was sweet and a little tangy!
*Cucumber and mint* which was a fizz drink of cucumber and mint and soda and was quite refreshing!
*Fruit punch* which was again a fruit based drink and had good Flavor!
*Cuddles on the beach* which was a cocktail and my friends suggested it was good!
*Premium whiskey sour* which also my friend liked.
So you can go for these options!
In food
*Malvani rava fry* which was nice crisp fish fried in Malvan style having that good spicy taste to it!
*Prawns Koliwada* who doesn't like this dish! It's like you can have so many at a time!
* Malvani fish Bombil fry* bombil is also one of my favourite dishes and I really loved the flavor they had in the masala. It was not too spicy and not too bland!
*Hirva chicken* this was a good dish, the chicken was well cooked and there was a good flavor to it.
*kolambichi karanjee* that is a savoury dumpling of prawns and cheese stuffed inside.
The filling was really tasty!
*Junglee Chicken* in main course, it was a thick green gravy with good quantity of chicken!
The taste was nice, spicy and well cooked!
In breads we ordered
*Amboli* which is basically a set dosa kind of
The taste of this with the gravy was awesome!
Do visit this place and try out their Konkani food dishes if you are a fan of fish and Konkan flavours
This is where you will get the aunthetic food!

If you are a true maharashtrian food fan other than the mumbai's local vada pav then you must visit Diva maharashtracha Mumbai first only and only maharashtrian food specialist Restaurant located at Mahim close to hinduja hospital.
Was very excited to visit this place and had heard a lot about this place as this place is divided in 3 restaurants namely Goa Portuguese, Dakshin curry culture ,and Diva maharashtracha. fully owned by Dr Suhas Awchat (FMR SEM SP, Police Office /DR by profession) and his wife Deepa Awchat (Renowed Master Chef & Author who have won many prestigious Awards)
Once you visit this restaurant do read their testimonials where numerous celebrities/ politicians/ news articles) have been written about their overall hospitality.
it's not Dr Subhash who visit to them(celebrities/ politicians/ news articles) he have been to our table also explain how this restaurant history came into effect.
not coming to the food
we started with the draught beer and along with that we order
Kaju Kothimbir Vadi
(made of Gram flour, coriander leaves and cashews ) signature dish of MRS Deepa Awchat
Mini Thali Peeth
never thought thalipeeth can be in such wonderful presentation (mini pancakes of five flavours mixed with spice, tawa fried & garnished with garlic red and green chutney and tip of tomato sauce) 100% recommended
Aluchi Vadi
in Gujarati we call it as Patra which is only steam and sauted with oil but here leaves stuff with batter of chana dal (Bengal gram) flour, coconut and spices are steamed and then deep fried making it a crispy bite
IN Mains
Kala watanachi amti
black gram (black small chana) cooked in coconut, tamarind and jaggery base gravy flavoured with garam masala (spices) giving a perfect sweet and tangy taste
Vaalache Bhirde
I am not to find out wall white pulses but when we ordered the flavour of onion coconut and garlic made me think to taste it after tasting I enjoyed a lot
Along with this vegetables we ordered all the three varieties of breads rice bhakri (made up of flour rice) jowar bhakri ( made of jowar) and amboli known as maratha Ghavane (just taste like a uttapam)
Desserts
Puran Poli
traditional sweet of maharashtrian (pancake of cooked Bengal gram with jaggery or sugar flavoured with cardamom and elaichi) and served with ghee
Kharvas
Another traditional sweet of maharashtrians just we can say as pudding made from cow or buffalo milk
Everything we tried was Joy dropping to say the least as they use in house freshlyground spices under supervision of Mrs Deepa which enhances & elevates the overall test and make the dish aromatic
The service is quick and the staff takes exceptional care of the guest we are glad when we get to know that a certain percentage of the profit earned is reserved for charity which is a applaudable we soon gonna to will visit the other two restaurants which is the Goa Portuguese and the Dakshin curry culture
Thank you personally to Mr suhas who gifted a small siddhivinayak carved in betel nut as he came to know no about my next day anniversary
Thank you Diva Maharastracha for wonderful evening

Diva Maharashtracha
Diva Maharashtracha as the name suggests its related to Maharashtra and this place is dedicated to pure ethnic Maharashtrian cuisine of Maharashtra which was mostly ignored. This royal place recently completed its 12 years on the occasion of Gudi Padwa.
This place is easy to locate by Google Maps. Located in bylanes of Matunga. This restaurant serves more than 150 Veg, Non veg and seafood delicacies with live music. The food belongs to various regions from Maharashtra i.e. Vidarbha, Marathwada, Khandesh, Western Maharashtra and Konkan.
This place is founded by Dr. Suhas Awchat and his wife Masterchef Deepa Awchat. The menu has brilliantly curated by Chef Deepa Awchat. With great food comes great responsibilities and they have carried them beautifully.
This place has a beautiful and vibrant ambience. The seating is very comfortable and relaxing. You will be overwhelmed with the hospitality of the staff.
Coming to the food we tried:
Kaju Kothimbir Wadi: Made of gram flour, coriander leaves and cashew nut, served with green chutney. Tasted delicious and less oily appetizer. What a start to meal.
Malwani Rawas Fry: Rawas fish marinated and rolled on rice flour and shallow fried to perfection. The minimal spices in this recipe makes sure it tasted yummy. As Salmon tastes very bland even after marinating for long hours and it doesn’t absorb the flavors well like other fishes.
Mini Chutney Thalipeeth: Mini pancakes of 5 flours mixed with spices, tawa fried and garnished with chutney. The presentation is delight to watch. Flavorful and perfect balance of spices.
Ukadiche Chicken Kheema Modak: Steamed modak filled with minced chicken flavored with spices. Amazing. Must try. It was delightful treat to the palate.
Kolhapuri Pandhra Rassa: Winner!!! Chicken chunks cooked in almond, green chilies, dry coconut and coconut milk. Not tasted Kolhapuri Pandhara like this anywhere.
Nagpuri Saoji Mutton: This is delicacy of Saoji community from Nagpur. Meat cooked with onion and
Saoji Garam Masala. The spices and taste was so balanced. The flavors were bang on.
Vaalache Bhirde: Vaal (pulses) cooked with onion, tomatoes and garnished with coconut. It’s a worth try option for vegetarians.
Bharleli Vangi: Small brinjals stuffed with mixture of dry coconut, crushed peanuts and spices. Goes very well with Bhakri.
Kharwas: It’s a traditional Maharashtrian milk pudding. It was an awesome end to the fabulous food journey here.
Overall, it’s a must visit place for Maharashtrians and Non Maharashtrians. If you are yet to visit, make sure you do visit soon. Thanks!!!

Lunch at #ethnic @diva_maharashtracha what a renowned place located at Mahim, which is quite near from Matunga Station. A #restrobar dedicated to the proud #marathi cuisine of Maharashtra. The cuisiue of this authentic place was thoroughly researched, cravingly standardized and at last enriching the presentation by the founder Mr. Suhas Awchat and the master chef who is one of the top 25 chefs Mrs. Deepa Suhas Awchat. The place is niche of three ambience all together at one spot. Goa Portuguesa, a western culture cuisine, Dakshin Culture Curry, a south Indian delicacy and Diva Maharashtracha serving authentic maharastrian dishes. Royal ambience in which people serving tasty dishes with much etiquettes and a smile on their face. Although it was 2`0 clock of noon yet it was full house which showed how great they are 💗. On Table 21 😁 I started with starter Kolhapuri Suka Panner, it had the great gravy taste on a spicy end. Then I had Kaju Kothambir Vadi, I had with their authentic chatni and trust it tasted super yum. Then I had two mocktails named Alphanso Delight and Melon Cooler both had a homely taste and a refreshing taste in it. Then I had main course in which I had Patodi and Dalimbiusal served with Rice Bhakri and Jwar Bhakri truly delicious and had that essence of taste of the originator. At last in desert had Puranpoli and Doodhihalwa and the taste made my lunch 😋 . Must Must try 💕.

Appetizers & Main Course
From the wide spread of dishes that the menu features, we ordered "Kolambichi Karanji" and "Chicken Malvani Sukke" for appetizers and "Jungli Chicken" and "Chicken Shagotti" with chapatis and ambolis for main course.
"Kolambichi Karanjee" : With a generous portion size, these are karanjis or gujiyas (deep fried dumplings) stuffed with an exquisite filling of prawns cooked in a cheese based sauce. It is very appetizing and loaded with a spectrum of flavours.
"Chicken Malvani Sukke" : Being a Malvani delish, this elegant dish is very flavorous. The chicken glazed with a malvani based masala is delectable and very pleasing to the taste buds.
"Jungli Chicken" : A dish with a mouth-watering gravy rich in flavour, aroma and consistency, it goes well with literally every thing from the 'Breads' subsection, we had it with chapati and amboli. The chicken pieces submerged, were so tender and tasty.
It's a konkan speciality that you will savour!
"Chicken Shagotti" : This is another chicken dish with a delectable gravy that goes well with chapati, amboli or steamed rice. It has a very satisfying flavour.
Drinks - "Platinum Whiskey Sour" and "The Royal cream"
The former, is a variation of the classic whiskey sour with a twist of spices that bring in a dimension of flavours to cherish, amazing stuff.
The latter, has a semi thickish consistency and a good aftertaste.
They serve a variety of sweet dishes ranging from the goodness of "Kharwas" to dishes like "Bibinca" and "Payassan" expanding their gastronomic-territory of speciality to Goa and southern states.
We ordered "Doodhi Halwa" which had a mind blowing taste and a burst of flavours. The dish prides itself with diverse flavours, it has a rare sapor that makes it an absolute delight.
When you talk about authenticity and value for money, Diva Maharashtracha is one of the first-rate places in Mahim without any doubt, it's truly a gastronome's delight.
