Dhiraj its the very famous place for the mithibai people and its the known place too😊 Its famous for its dosa and sandwich.
•Pizza dosa- The most amazing dosa that one can have is the pizza dosa. It is a combination of pizza and South Indian. Its served with coconut🥥 and garlic 🧄 chutney that gives the amazing taste .🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥(rating style).
One of the best dosa served by Dhiraj Dosa and Sandwich. It is mouthwatering, cheesy and damn tasty.
We have tried many varieties specially
1. Jini Dosa
2. Pizza Dosa
3. Chutney Powder Dosa

Worth the money❤️
I just can't describe the taste they provide, it's just amazing. Quite affordable for all college students and literally made college days better by providing good quality and affordable food.
A go to place for every college student. During my college days, this was my almost everyday go to place. With super tasty and pocket friendly prices, this place is a surely a favourite for many students. They serve some real good butter Vada pav, amazing dosas with many varieties and some real yummy sandwiches.
My favourite dishes over here are :- Grilled mayo sandwich, open cheese dosa and butter Vada pav!
Had gone for a night drive and visited this place for a quick vada pav. Tried the cheese and regular one. Both tasted great. Not much of a difference just the cheese.
If you love dosa then do try this place.. it’s located opposite NM college in vile Parle... there are too many varieties of dosa and sandwiches.. pizza dosa and gini dosa are one of my favourite ones from the list.. too tasty and filling.. the only drawback is there’s no seating available..
Yet I would love to visit it everytime I happen to be in that locality..
What else can you think of other than food after the monotonous college lectures???
In frame is the Veg. Mayyonnies Grilled Sandwich from Dhiraj Vada Pav Stall, Opposite NM College, Outside NMIMS, Juhu, Mumbai!! This is my type of comfort food in this Cold Weather!! Hot, Crispy, Yummy, and spicy Mint Chutney😍🤤. The Bread is suoer Crispy outside, but soft inside with a generous spread of stuffing and Mint Green Chutney! The golden brown bread with buttery taste and the gooey Mayyonnies and a but stuffing oozing outside the edges was all that you need to drool 🤤🤤

Dhiraj Vada Pav is a street food stall, right opposite NM College and is famous for its variety of popular street food with a twist!! Dhiraj Vada Pav serves amazing Grill Sandwiches and Vada Pavs!! This place is a Paradise for all Street Food Lovers!!
Dhiraj is located just opposite Mithibai college. Their sandwiches are a marvel. They also have excellent vada pav and a wide variety of mouth watering dosas.
Burger bole toh bakwaas Vada Pav bole toh jhakaas.For Mumbaikar Vada Pav is the most popular snack. Dhiraj Vada Pav opposite NM College is my all time favourite. Have you tried Dhiraj Vada Pav if not then try it ASAP.Now they have varieties like Schezwan, Cheese & Schezwan Cheese Vada Pav.

Dhiraj Special Sandwich is exactly opposite Mithibai collage and Bhaidas hall very famous landmark.
A very compact road side stall nicely managed all counters (Sandwichn, juice and vadapav.)
Staff is good. No seating, no parking area available.
Our order list :-
* Butter Vada Pav
* Masala Dosa
* Veg Grill Cheese Sandwiche
The butter vada pav is not worth (tasteless), only good thing is it's hot and fresh.
Masala Dosa quite good in taste and really the chutney done the rest job to gives a masala dosa nice taste and finally satisfied our appetite.✌
Veg grill cheese sandwich very tastey and perfectly filled with all ingredient and crispy tastey, great done by staff good job.✌

The Vada pav is huge and filled with better and chutney
It's the best on that road
They also make very good dosas
But the Vada pav is my absolute favourite
This is the best vadapav in Mumbai! Love their Jinny and chutney dosa too. Perfect location and pocket friendly too for college students. A must visit.
All time favourite 💯😍

Foodeliciousmumbai recommends 💯
Had this most amazing Jini Dosa at Dhirajs foodies opposite Mithibhai College, Vile Parle West. Gorging on this dosa it has dosa batter, lots of veggies, lots of cheese & Coconut + Red garlic chutney. Simple yet delicious food. Well it's not just a dosa place you can also have Vada pav, cheese Vada pav, sandwiches, soft drinks and flavoured soda.
In Shot:- Jini Dosa ₹ 150/- Vada Pav ₹ 20/-
Location:- Opposite Mithibhai college, Vile Parle West.

Award winning vada Pav located opposite nm college. They are super quick with their job and serve vada pavs with loads of butter and delicious chutney. Every mumbaikar must visit this place once.
The entire food lane opposite Mithibai is buzzing with super street food & Dhiraj is one of the most popular joint there ( Have tried everything here over the years )
If you love street food then you have to try everything @ Dhiraj / food stalls atleast once
Love all the choices available from dosas , sandwiches, Pav Wada to cold beverages
A meal for 3-4 people cost us approx Rs 1000/-
1) Gini Dosa
1) Pizza Dosa
1) Cheese Grilled Sandwich
1) Sada sandwich
2) Chocolate Milkshake
2 ) Pav Wada
My Fav items @ Dhiraj are as follows :-
1) Jini Dosa - In Dosa its my fav
2) Pizza Dosa - A nice variety & less spicy & most subtle compared to gini Dosa
3) Cheese Mysore Sada - If you want a light Dosa without filling than tis is the one I order
4) Paneer Masala / Chilly Dosa - Depending whether u prefer the Indian or Chinese gravy order accordingly
Sandwich
1) Cheese grilled Sandwich- All time fav
All Veges , grilled , cheese , sauces - Yum
2) Veg Toast sandwich - If grill is not for u or is too big then go for a veg toast ( not masala toast )
3) Sada sandwich - For any & everyone
Pav Vada
Like my Pav Vada with Garlic chutney & a hint of meetha chutney ( it just adds a sweet tinge to the entire flavour )
Chocolate milkshake is my fav drink ( don’t prefer soda drinks )
Overall a fast food paradise & there a a few joints along that lane to keep you tempting & wanting to hog all day all night
Dhiraj probably has the best dosa on the entire street from opposite Mithibai. Personal favourites among the dosas there are the Pizza Dosa and the Chilli Cheese Dosa.
The Mithibai Street is the place filled with the most amazing quick bite outlets. But as per me the oldest and the best among them is ‘Diraj’.
This place serves one of the best butter vada pav, cheese vada Pav and schezwan vada Pav. If you are running late and a have a train to catch or lecture to attend then vada Pav combined with cold drink or flavoured drink or juice is it.
But if you have time, then you can’t just miss the grilled cheese sandwich or even the saadha sandwich or masala toast.
And last but not the least, the Geene Dosa, a perfect blend of cheese and veggies and amazing chutnies. This is the dish you can’t ever miss.
Overall an amazing place for street food lovers.
Love this outlet!!
Vile parle is melting Pot of fanatics Dosa Joint and Dhiraj being one among them..
Tried Pizza Dosa : open faced cooked Dosa ,Crispy Rich with butter & Filling .
Chocolate Dosa : Open faced Dosa with loads of Chocolate spread on It...
Genne Dosa: Cheesy filling Rolled Dosa,Cut in strip .Must have ...
One of the Best Dosa I have come across....
Have been going to this place since more than 4 years now
The Vada Pav is a must have. They have different flavoured vadapavs too like cheese, schezwan, etc.
Love the Jinny dosa. It's super yummy and spicy.
The chutney dosa and even the plain butter sada dosa is delicious.
They serve a lot more things like Milkshakes, sandwiches, etc.
A must visit.
They take party orders and do catering too😬
One of the old Street food joints opposite NM and Mithibai college. Great sandwiches and dosas and the evergreen vada pav
This place brings a smile to people's faces.

Located near Mithibai college.
Been going to This place for many years now.
My fav here is veg cheese grill sandwich.
Grilled sandwich filled with cheese & veggies.
Two sizes big & mini.
Also have variety in sandwiches, dosas & Vada Pav.
Good place for quick bites.
Well its not jst a dosa place... Bt.. U can have grilled sandwich butter vadapav..schezwan vadapav & cheese vadapav..
All is taste...
U also get colddrinks & favoured soda..
But if u lucky u get the parking for ur 4wheeler
This is one of the popular stalls along the lines of Anand Dosa opposite Mithibai. This is one of the popular take-away or stand-and-eat stalls in the burbs. Perfect spot for a quick sandwich or a take-away dosa. There are many varieties of Dosa - a few notable ones are Pav Bhaji dosa, Ginni dosa, Mysore cheese paneer masala etc... Vada Pao comes for 20 bucks with generous amounts of butter/margarine applied to the Pao.

I recently visited this place near Mithibai college when my cousins were here for a holiday.
I had heard a lot of the genie dosa and Frankie rolls here. And both were really really good.
We had the schezwan dosa
Ginni dosa
Chinese noodle Frankie.
Seeing the dosa get made is so much fun. These people exhibit a lot of innovation in terms of food and it is really fun to watch the live cooking.
The dosa is liberally sprinkled or I should say heaped with toppings.
The noodle roll is very filling just the red colour of the noodle was something I didnt like.
Overall a great place to visit once in a while
This place will always had a special place because of the Vada pav it serves. They are the best. Whenever I am around juhu, I never skip this place. The dosas also here are one of its kind.
The crowd that they have says it all. Must visit for the best Vada pav and for some innovative dosas.
A small outlet a little off SBM and Mithibai on Gulmohar Road. A very friendly owner. They offer a huge variety of Vada Pavs, Shakes, Juices and Sandwiches. Tried their Cheese Vada Pav and Pineapple Juice. Next on the list, samosa pav.
Nothing beats the good old vada pav here and especially if you want food to go. The taste of this authentic snack food has been the same without change. Conveniently located centrally in Vile Parle, you'd always get your hunger fed here. You can also try the mini grill cheese sandwich. Absolutely delicious. Have the tea here too. Fabulous!
Great dosas. Haven't seen so many varieties at any place (only dosa plaza comes close). Great taste of dosas with equally good chutneys. Recommended : Schezwan cheese dosa or Jini dosa.
One place that every SVKM student loves and hangs out at.This place has added flavour to my 5 years of college with amazing food.
Must try:
1-Cheese chilli toast
2-Paneer chilli dosa
3-Open cheese dosa
4-Pizza dosa
5-Pav bhaji dosa
6-Chinese cheese frankie
7-Dilkhush dosa
All the dosas are amazing which increase your cravings to have everyday.!!
Excellent Pizza Dosa and Grilled Sandwich!!!
The Sandwiches are VERY buttery and yum! One of the best Dosa places in Mumbai, it is every student's dream come true: YUMMY Street FOOD!
This place is crowded most of the time on working days and Sunday mornings there's not much crowd.
A must-try for every person who is a Mumbaikar or is visiting Mumbaaai💃
This was one of the stalls where we used to hog a lot during college..the mysore sada dosa over here are my favourite from whatever i have had here..
I was around the place again on sunday and ordered a Pizza Dosa..it has generous toppings of veggies and prepared and served like a pizza along with usual coconut chutneys..it tasted awesome..
Although it is slightly on the expensive side for non fancy dosas (restaurant prices or even higher for sada, mysore sada, masala or mysore masala)considering the target audience is college students..
A small stall in street of Nm mithibai college... it serves amazing variety of sandwiches..tried their cheese grill sandwich which was yummy.. spicy as I love it.. their dosas are also good
I love its ginni dosa and grilled cheese sandwich.
Believe me both will be worth trying it.
It's pocket friendly and also freshly cooked.
Just the thing is, u doesn't get chair and table to sit n njoy ur meal.
Had heard of it soo much but could not try until recently.. we as hungry as we could be could not wait for our food and ordered the plain dosa right away.. And ordered the paneer grill sandwich for later. What followed was just surprises...!! The dosa was probably the best till date and what was the winner was the generous amount of butter they used... I could eat that everyday.. then it was time for the sandwich.. again a stunner in terms of taste.. the portions are huge for one person so it's better to share between two.. obviously that has its advantages we get to order more types of food.. the best street food waiting to happen for me happened!!!
Be it Chilli Cheese or Spring, the famous Gini or even the basic Masala dosa, this is a heaven for dosa lovers. Their Pizza dosa and even Schezuan Cheese dosa is yum. The price is high but the taste of the food doesn't let you down. The Vada Pav here is really big and yummy. Tried their cheese grill sandwich and loved it too. This is not a place to miss. Must try.
Perfect Place to Grilled Sandwich! The stall serves delicious Vada pavs, dosas and Sandwiches!
Good staff! Tasty sandwich and reasonable enough ! Worth a bite ! Must visit once!
Its best place to have fast food in vile parle .
I liked is sandwich , dosas and vada pavs
.....
Dhiraj.......
Ahhh this place i am sure any mumbaikar would have never missed it
We are been going to this place ever since childhood..They are serving yummy food past 25 yrs or more
Every thing is served so fresh and pipeing hotttt here
One must try their Mayo sandwich its mought watering....the Vada pav ahhh its so freh and stomach filling
They have got variety of Dosa ginny dosa is my fav
Every thing is just stuffed in a good amount
Like the butter, the chees yummmyyy
Must try and the price is also so decent
A roadside outlet opp bhaidas hall in vile parle west. It provides fast food like sandwiches, dosa, vadapav, etc . I personally like the vadapav and sandwiches of this place . The food quality has been maintained constantly. Worth the price and pocket.
Been here so many times. From sandwhich to vadapav, everything is so delicious.
It has become for my friends a daily routine to eat over here.
One of the best vada pav I've ever had... It's was spicy, soft and yummy... Loved the pav.... Quick service no hassle... Wish to visit again in future
Located just opposite NM and Mithibai college. They serves delicious hot Wada pav and array of sandwiches and dosas. It's quite famous out here. It's always crowded and the best thing about here is they never serve cold wadas. Butter applied in wada pav is to die for. It It cost around 20/- per wada pav but the quantity is enough as the size of the pav is really big. Among the doses my personal favourite is chilly cheese dosa.
The name is famous among the mithibai colg students. It gives the best mayo sandwich. Any around there definetly this place is must to go for eating mayo sandwich. It's a very common place to eat there. It has other food as well but he severs the sandwich best
Oh my my! This place is what I love the most about my Mithibai years! Their Dosas are to die for! People generally rush towards the Anand dosa stall and bleh but if you try a dosa once at Dhiraj you wont go anywhere else! Their Chutney Powder Dosa is the star!!! You will never have a dosa like that anywhere else in your entire life except this place! Do give it a try! Also its cheaper than the other dosa stall around it!
Have eaten here many a times. The important thing here is variety. You can get a variety of dosa's and sandwich. Located opposite NM and Mithibai college, it is usually crowded. Service depends on what time you go. Sometimes you have your order in 5 mins and sometimes you have to wait and wait. And the person making dosa is sometimes rude. Pizza dosa and chutney powder dosa is a must try.
This is the place to be when you have NRI's over... From pav vadas to grilled sandwich-this place has it all.. The food is piping hot and tasty.. It's perpetually crowded,and they are constantly running out of vadas,so it's a sign that you aren't getting stale food.. This place has been there even before I was born,first run by the father and now the son.. A great place for some roadside junk..
Dhiraj- Vada Pav and Cheese Grilled Sandwich deserve all the accolades possible... The best part is- for years the taste has not altered and one is never disappointed...
Get their when it is not too crowded and just enjoy each bite... Do not get too much into looking around for the hygiene bit but rest is all good!
The various types of dosa are great to and the chutney if to die for... The chocolate shake is good as well and serves well with the food!
It has been the favorite hangout place...have had the best of grill sandwiches here...never ever have been disappointed. Really liked the vada pav too. Even after so many years, I still visit this place with friends to have grill sandwiches and vadapav.
Street food at its best, Dhiraj is the ultimate adda for all things collegiate. Every time someone talks of street food, there is always someone recommending the popular street in front of NM and mithibai college. Dhiraj is the most popular joint on the street, and is half the reason the street is so famous.
The Anna there is always so jovial and smiling and passionately makes dosas, chitting and chatting with the customers.
The dosa is one of the best I've had, with ample amount of butter and Jinni Dosa is highly recommended ! You have it once, you'll want to have it again.
The vadapav is huge and really good to taste. Not too oily.
Haven't tried the sandwiches. Dosa is enough for filling up the Tummy at a time.
Every person should visit this atleast once.
I have been eating here since childhood, and never have been disappointed. DSS doubles up as a college hangout too, and not to mention, their food is amazing indeed.
The 20 rupee price tag of their vadapav may make the hearts of some people stop. But hey! They put butter in their pavs, and the vadas are the hugest I have seen! And they are tasty (really tasty).
The sandwiches are very filling and equally tasty.
I particularly like their dosas and my favourite is the gini dosa. Hearty fillings is their forté. And that's a highlight for me and many others.
When we compare this to the dosas at bajaj road, we probably get confused between who is better. So let me break it down for you.
Variety:- bajaj road
Value for money:- Definitely DSS !
Taste of dosas:- Both of them are equally good.
Taste of chutney:-bajaj road
My verdict:- Is prefer dhiraj over bajaj road (primarily, I definitely don't see myself paying 70bucks for just a chutney powder dosa at bajaj road! That's just crazy and insane, a big no no !)
Overall it is a must visit if you are around !
Im going to miss coming to this place everyday after I get done with college 🙈
I absolutely love love LOVE the dosa's here. They're so delicious 😍
Also try the Kit Kat milkshake
The service is good, they get food till your car as well.
Oh my god, what would happen if this place did not exist?
Studying in the college right opposite this place, we visit here almost every alternate day!
Love the dosas around here especially The Paneer Chilly and onion cheese Dosa. The rest are good too.
The sandwiches are also yummy but I would definitely prefer the dosas here full of junk like a lot of butter and cheese and what not!
This place is like buzzing from early morning till late eve.. For nm & mithibai college goers this place is like heaven .. But for people like me staying around this place, its the stop late eve specially if dinner at home is not ur choice.. So as today dinner was not that interesting ,I decided to have some quick bite out here as always. Had butter vadapav here which is the best u could get... They r big n soft pav makes it feel more good .. For people with less appetite one vadapav is all they could have... Sandwiches here r very good... Will recommend to try vada sandwich which is great here.. Overall a worth place to visit n will recommend people to check in this place Atleast once in their lifetime
Had a chance to try the vada pao's from this place thanks to a friend who bought it to office. The vada's were really big in size and soft. The chutney was really good and the typical red powder was only with red chillies and not the traditional one like with peanuts and garlic. Descent vada paos.
Mumbai vada pav needs no introducion. Nor does Dhiraj, the place that makes the yummiest Amul butter vada pav in town. Most part of my college life has been spent gorging on delicious street food from this place. Be it the variety of dosas, Vada Pav, Ferrero rocher milkshake or Huge grilled sandwiches - you will be in for a treat here.
Just be prepared to wait a while, coz this place is jam packed with college students any time of day or night. Feast on the food - your taste buds will thank you.
One of the iconic places in bombay for food lovers. One can't miss this. One of the best vada pavs in bombay. You can't eat just one. You will end up eating 2 or more and end up having gas explosion☺. But the quality is good so don't worry.
This place is crowded at all times, and it's difficult to stand there on a rainy day.
The dosas were perfect and yum, only if you're ready to wait for 10mins (at least)... You need to keep asking for your dosa or you will never get it. Sandwiches are ready quickly and so are the milkshakes and wada pav.
(Mind you if the one making dosas is frustrated, you'll get it last)
Nonetheless they serve good & finger licking dosas.
DSS is another great outlet outside Mithibai where u will always find the stall covered by college students having quick bites between the lectures. Having fond memories of this since my college days, I have literally tried almost all items on the menu and believe me all of them offers way better taste satisfaction than any upmarket fast food outlet. It's vada pav is quite big in size by default and the amount of cheese/butter/chutneys he spreads inside the pav, at one point u start thinking to make him stop from spreading more!
Dosas are good as well, however, became quite pricy in recent years. The menu shown here is wrong..his masala dosas costs approx Rs 80 these days..pretty much expensive at a stall level.

Dhiraj occupies a special place in my heart for having studied at Mithibai and then at D J Sanghvi, visits to this place were very often.
I am completely in love with the Vada Pav out here. Though it's become a bit pricey, it is still worth it. This is a place where you'll find one of the best Vada Pavs in the city.
Coming to the sandwiches, the Veg Grilled Sandwich is my mother's favourite and thus at times, we come here specially to have the same. The vegetables are always generously added and if you go in for the cheese variant, may God save you! 😁
Now the Dosas. This place provides a very good variety of them. However, they are again too expensive. But just as the other things that one can have here, this is also worth it. The Gini Dosa and the Pizza Dosa are worth trying.

Shetty uncle deserve a hi5. We were more at his stall than attending lectures.
Best sandwich n best wadapav
No match
Mithibai visit today is incomplete without a visit to Dhiraj
One of the finest mayo sandwiches are served here. Specially grilled. Rest of the food items are great too. Nice place to hang out with friends. you get to see lively college going crowd. Only sometimes I have felt that the management is a little arrogant.
Its right opp.NM college
I love the wada pav out here.
It became a routine to pick one extra spicy wada pav on my way back from college .
It is just sooo tasty .
They even give nescafe coffee .
The veryyy famous vada pav place and the besttt vada pav available in the locality butter vada pav is very famous among the students and the localite you must also try its cheese grilled sandwich and the diff variety of dosa's you will fall in love with street food!!!
I have heard about sandwich shops near mithibai college. So when i was in vile parle, decided to go there. This place was the most crowdy one. They do not have sitting arrangement as this is a small outlet. We ordered Cheese schezwan sandwich, mayonnaise sandwich and cheese pavbhaji dosa. All the dishes were awesome and unique. Service is quick.
Dosa and vada pav!! Its so tasty! The toppings in dosa are sufficient. Vada pav is too good. I had pizza dosa but I wanna try every dosa on the list!!
Been there several tyms...didn knw it was listed on zomato ...read someone's review n surprised to read abt DSS.
Almost everything is tasty n worth having...
Be it Sandwich,vada pav ,grills,dosas...
The quantity of bhaji which dey serve with Dosas is good...Grill is filling.
For knowing more ...plz come here with empty stomach to enjoy the dishes....
It was near my college. He's famous all over Mumbai.
The sandwiches and the dosa's are just the best to describe.
You can close your eyes and pick any item it'll surely blow your mouth for taste.
For five years he was the only where i ate sandwiches.
It's a street food so yeah hygine isn't that much but, then whole Mumbai lacks that feature.
This place holds a reputation of making very good dosas its exactly opposite mithibai and its zoom zoom dosa and pizza dosa are just extravegent. Its paisa vasool
This place holds a special place in my heart since it's been my unofficial canteen during my college days at NM.
Nevertheless, Dhiraj sandwiches are probably the best vegetarian sandwiches you'll ever have!
Pick any sandwich and you're in for a yumminess explosion!!

I've practically been going to this shop every week from the last 3 years.Vada pav and their pizza dosa are my fav.Mayonise grill is always very filling and tasty.
Big vada pav with butter, green chilli chutney and red garlic chutney.
They have sandwiches and milkshakes too. The chocolate milkshake was a little too sweet but we still enjoyed it
Dhiraj is a place where you find crowd anytime any day! Early morning the place attracts and feeds numerous hungry collegians. The place has yummy dosas and sandwiches. The variety of dosas is wide. Gini dosa and pizza dosas are my favourite. The mayonnaise sandwich is made in a way that will always want you to come back. Also with all the food you can enjoy a cooling slush to call it a meal. Also the hygienic standards of the place are pretty good for a roadside stall.
Have been going to this place frequently.
This little place dishes out the best dosas and sandwiches you can ever have. People from far away places come here to have dosas and sandwiches . It is a place for night eaters since it is open till 12 at night. The best street food you can ever have. Delicious and mouthwatering dishes!! The only problem here is car parking.
14th November, 2014
I pen this "A tale of two reviews". But make no mistake, Dhiraj and next by its side Anand stall combined was one amazing free spirited night that symbolises Mumbaikars Khau galli passion for its roadside thela walas.
It's our monthly team bonding cuisine event. We are directed to reach Mithibai College, Dhiraj Stall for its Vada Pav. My colleague and I reach first a few minutes before 2000, bemused.. we had left 15 minutes later than the other 5 members (they drove off in one car), poor me heavily reprimanded for delaying our office exit by my "Singaporean" head. Thanks to our Mumbai autowalas; they help my bruised plight and genuine plea to reach faster. Dhiraj Enterprise (not stall mind you) has a Dosa thela on its left, Its Dosa maker Dilip is more than happy to pose for a few snaps. He gives me a sampling to taste his two chutneys. The stall serves sandwiches and milkshakes. A s/w wala uncle is grating mozzarella cheese on to a made to order grilled. The famous vada pav thela is on the outside right. Another aged uncle is rolling balls of fresh masala aloo mix in his hands, his assistant dips them in besan batter before frying them on the hot karahi. Fresh ladi (bakery) pav, green salted chillies, Hara dhania (coriander) chutney and red garlic powder sit on the table. Standard stuff right ? Wrong , there is also a big steel container with golden butter.. Govardhan brand I'm informed proudly by the owner. The rest of the team arrive now, "our Singaporean" innocently late. Vada pavs are now ordered, butter slathered liberally on the pav with chutney and red garlic powder , then the piping hot Batata Vedas which hit our mouth; bursting with warm golden potato mix. Oooh...Pukka Tukka . We order a few more. The butter Pav gives a tingly tangy feeling but contrasts so well with the hot steaming aloo masala. Some fingers are drooling with melted butter. Our young hosts then direct us towards Anand dosa stall a few metres away, we will return for Dhiraj's milkshakes (you may check my review of Anand stall as stated in the prologue)
We return to Dhiraj almost full from the Dosas had at Anand stall. The famous Ferrero Rocher milkshake apparently here is recommended for all choco fanatics; so a 3*5 sharing is ordered. I am sharing a fresh orange juice with another non-chocoholic. The juice is squeezed fresh, comes natural and the pulpiness from the orange comes right through to my taste buds. The FR milk shake is both a process and pictorial assembly. First generous scoops of Dinshaws chocolate ice cream, then milk poured from a carton, next spoonfuls of cocoa powder and finally ice cubes dunked and the concoction is blitzed in a mixer. 5 glasses are then lined up, the milk shake is poured.Is that it? Na Na, It's further decorated with Ferrero Rocher spread ...voila !! Our gleeful group sips the divine mix (I tasted a sip and it was sinful but delicious). A couple of Malai Kulfis are then bought from the next stall and we bite into the creamy milk sticks..a night of further bliss. The amazing bonding of my team ranging from age groups across aggressive but vibrant mid 20s, to mild mannered mid 30s to daring eccentric early 40s has triumphed so brightly tonite on the Vile Parle streets.
It's nearing quarter past nine, and while the grand lady Mithibai looks upon us from behind, my "Singaporean" head reminds me to look up in front across the road; at another majestic institution. I know this one has graduated many prodigal daughters then onto CA's and to be the future leaders in finance, commerce and banking thus leading diversity for women. This after all is Narsee Monjee College or as they say here NM ... Hey Bhagwan !!!!
Delicious ! Is the word which describes the taste of dheeraj food stall .. vada pav is super good .. mayo sandwich is good .. dosa ' s are average ...
I have been to this place and will keep returning to it. It is located right opposite NMIMS. This roadside place (literally) dishes out some of the best dosas you can find in Mumbai. Innovation is the name of the game here with many different varieties available. They are a bit on the oily side but who cares when they are so tasty. The chutneys that come with the dosas are great too. My personal favourtie is pizza dosa. This place is a must try in Mumbai.
This place is an old haunt for Mithibai students and continues to be, long after they graduate and move on.
You can pretty much depend on most of the stuff that you get here - be it the Wada Pav or the Samosas, but what people flock to for here are the Sandwiches.
So, there are a multitude of sandwich stalls on the street outside Mithibai College, what makes Dhiraj special? It's perhaps that this place makes consistently good Grilled Sandwiches, day after day, year after year - and they manage it by
A) ensuring the chutney is one of the flavourful you can have - whether it's inside your sandwich or as an accompaniment.
B) most importantly, ensuring the sandwiches are succulent WITHOUT being soggy - which happens so easily with grilled sandwiches.
Over time, Dhiraj has slowly developed what i have come to believe is one of the best Grilled Sandwiches in Mumbai...
Always a pleasure eating at this place. Makes you pocket and stomach both happy and the taste is always great. People come from far of places to try food here and its the hot spot for college students as it is located around Mithibai,UPG, NM... On weekends its pack and you will see people from all age here. In true sense it has made space for itself among other street food outlets that are there in that area.
A friend suggested this place and as we were looking for a good street food place, we arrived to this food lane opposite to NM college. Parking at first looked difficult and we did manage to park just a little ahead of the small street shops. Otherwise there are bylanes and parking should not have been much of an issue. There were more than 50 varieties n combination of dosas and we tried Pizza dosa which was quite cool n innovative. It tasted great and the nariyal chutni added to the marriage of Italian n South Indian. Other varieties like Paneer Chilly etc also looked sumptuous. Then we progressed to try the famous Sandwich and took Mayo Cheese sandwich. Well just ignore when they prepare it as you might start feeling heavy before eating itself. So much of Cheese!!! The sandwich was Aldo good n heavy. Both were priced at 120 each and we found it a bit over priced for street food. But guess quantity of cheese covers for it. :)
Just had Mysore Cheese Masala Dosa and tried first time Kerala Masala Dosa. Good.
Vada pav Is really amazing and served hot. The place is bustling with activity and food options especially given that it is in the college area.
They serve multiple other options like sandwich and dosas but I prefer just the wada pav here while for sandwiches and dosas the place below NMIMS I find to be better in taste.
Service standards have detoriated a bit over the years and placing an order for a single vadapav may b looked down upon, as experienced by me.
This place has nostalgic value more than anything else. Love the Gini Dosa, Vada Pav and Grilled Sandwiches.
The entire food lane opposite Mithibai is buzzing with super street food & Dhiraj is one of the most popular joint there ( Have tried everything here over the years )
If you love street food then you have to try everything @ Dhiraj / food stalls atleast once
Love all the choices available from dosas , sandwiches, Pav Wada to cold beverages

1) Gini Dosa
1) Pizza Dosa
1) Cheese Grilled Sandwich
1) Sada sandwich
2) Chocolate Milkshake

My Fav items @ Dhiraj are as follows :-
1) Jini Dosa - In Dosa its my fav
2) Pizza Dosa - A nice variety & less spicy & most subtle compared to gini Dosa
3) Cheese Mysore Sada - If you want a light Dosa without filling than tis is the one I order
4) Paneer Masala / Chilly Dosa - Depending whether u prefer the Indian or Chinese gravy order accordingly
Sandwich
1) Cheese grilled Sandwich- All time fav
All Veges , grilled , cheese , sauces - Yum
2) Veg Toast sandwich - If grill is not for u or is too big then go for a veg toast ( not masala toast )
3) Sada sandwich - For any & everyone
Pav Vada
Like my Pav Vada with Garlic chutney & a hint of meetha chutney ( it just adds a sweet tinge to the entire flavour )
Chocolate milkshake is my fav drink ( don’t prefer soda drinks )
Overall a fast food paradise & there a a few joints along that lane to keep you tempting & wanting to hog all day all night

Lip smacking varieties of dosas, hygienic, affordable and fresh. What more can one ask for when looking for a quick munch. Must visit.
Famous and reasonable food joint for youngsters.
Must have is Vada pav and toast cheese sandwich.Not that costly.
Best Mayo toast sandwich and wada pav....I am am visiting this place from last 15yrs taste still the same...
Food was good but I found it too expensive when compared to surroundings no proper place to sit or keep your plate for comfortable dine rest the good is good worth trying
Been around and appreciated by regular clients of all ages and social status. A fast food joint right opposite Bhaidas auditorium.
Amazing dosas. I love pizza dosa especially.
All time favourite vadapav joint opposite mitjibai college.at times I feel this place is overhyped but then when you eat these unique and huge butter laden Vada pav, you realise you're just wrong and you get lost in serendipity!
Surely on one of the many outlets worth trying for the vada pav! Tastes different & delicious! I'd recommend trying the regular vada pav, jini dosa, regular dosa and I'm sure you're leaving the place with a happy fulfilled tummy! One of the many outlets from mumbai which u can't miss if you are a vada pav fan!
