Had great time with some friends at #Thangabali yesterday at a select sneak tasting. Thanks Dharmesh Karmokar and Amit Jambotkar for a lovely evening.
Great variety, affordable pricing a no non-sense restaurant which is just about good served in a decent ambience.
It is good that at least someone is thinking about honest to goodness food served in it's authentic simplicity. It is high time the food reclaimed the heroes place at the restaurant.
For all those gourmets already aware of various Andhra, Tamil, Kannadiga, Kerala and Maglorean specialities this one place will offer all of that and beat the cravings.
For those who do not know much about South India or it's cuisine it's the best place to start and hence a must visit as I can't think of a better way to get introduced.
Either ways delectable, enjoyable, mouth slurping experience.
One disclaimer though, there is a huge risk of overeating, so beware.

Discovered Thangabali quite accidentally- on Good Friday, strolling around Mahim after a Pre-Prandial blood test and needing to eat after fasting from the previous evening. For Breakfast they offer a largish menu of veg and non veg options in a price range from Rs 120 to Rs 240/-. Taking mental leave from my Endocrinologist and dietician I ordered a Pondi Semiya Upma and a Dahavangere Benne Dosa. The Semiya Upma was served with two chutneys was light, fragrant and lovely. Served hot it made a great start! The Dhavangere Bene Dosa was served with Sambhar along with the chutneys and a large tablespoon of white butter or Makhan. The Dosa itself was steaming soft and I enjoyed my surprise breakfast! Pleasent atmbience, comfortable interiors with a wall marking the great Hindu temples across south east Asia. Waiters wore white Mundus and service was prompt - but early in the morning on a holiday no one else was in the restaurant. Pricing is moderate. No Service charge in the bill. Chef Santosh is a Gujarathi specialising in South Indian cuisine and has served at the Taj Group. The owners are a trio - none from the South. Recommended for their cuisine and great food.
Yes its South Indian much beyond just idlis, dosas & sambaar.
Authentic recipes of this rich culinary region.
Food - Delicious food with typical South Indian flavours ...its a no nonsense place focusing purely on taste & yes its very reasonable.
Ambience - A simple and welcoming place with lingering carnatic music in the background which sets the mood to enjoy the scrumptious meal.
Staff - A cordial staff is always such a plus.
waiters wearing a lungi and a smile.
Guys if you are around Mahim - Shivaji park area & craving for food other than pizza, pasta, oriental then THANGABALI is a must visit.
