We went to explore Bala Ka dhaba located in Orlem, Malad West, Mumbai for it's paneer bhurji and pav. The quality of food I would say was 10/10 and it was well garnished with right amount of spice. The ambience was of a typical open restaurant so not favourable in scorching summer. Overall the food tasted delicious and will plan to go again :)
If you're craving for the dhaba food must visit this place. Paneer is too soft and the spices which is added is in proper proportion. Little spicy if you love spicy food then this is too good place.
This is best . not dhaba but name is dhaba and ac is also available . pav bhaji is very famous for this place and staff is good and service is also fine near by the sv road Malad West
It's like a small dhaba itself with no AC so better to take parcel if you wanna relax and eat at home because definitely one won't be able to sit in scorching summers. Now I had just ordered as below.
1. Paneer Bhurji 10/10
2. Lassi 10/10
Will come back again
Too good and fast service well the food was also awesome the Pav Bhaji and Tawa pulao was really marvelous

Visited this place with my friends. Very economical place to have food.

Taste wise good.
Go here only to eat.. neither to have fun nor to enjoy the evening

Local eatery offers one of the best bhav bhaji in the area. Famous for its bhav bhaji is visited by the locals till almost 11:30pm. Bhav bhaji is made fresh fresh and is loaded with plenty of butter. Other Pham bhaji options are also good. I have visited here for anything else but the pav bhaji. This time tried the cheese pav bhaji was also per my liking. They have extended veg menu from roti to all different veggies. All the items are priced right. The restaurant is more of a take out restaurant so the sitting and ambiance is ok. Do see local maladiests fill in for extra after dinner snack or no dinner snack out. Not ideal for a date night unless your date is a pav bhaji fan, this option is better then a road side thella.
Great fast food, especially pav bhaji and tawa pulav,try out cheese pav bhaji and biryani.Super quick service and easy parcels.Place is small but try it out!
Must try place. Food good quality. Crowded place in night. Little service slow but to many orders. On Sunday you will get pav bhaji and biryani kind of food rest you will get all there menu items. I have visited this place with my friend #Gaurav so many times.
A taste was brilliant and all should try this famous Pav bhaji of maladies west which can't forget ever and all should experience this marvelous taste of bhaji
Pav Bhaji : Priced at Rs. 100/- it is totally worth it. Unlike most places that serve pav bhaaji this one does not add too much tomato and does not make it tangy. It's the best pav bhaaji you will ever have.
Tawa Pulav: Everyone says it's the best but honestly I didn't like it as much as the other things! It's tasty but I've had better.
They also sell a lot of other mushroom paneer sabzi's you should totally try it. It's total value for money! The quantity is pretty good and it's full of mushroom and paneer. It's worth the money you spend and it is damn tasty!
Recently went to SNDT college and near that college I found this place. Me and my friends opted for Thali and pav bhaji. The taste of the ordered dishes were authentic and the price were also reasonable
One of the best places to eat pav bhaji in our locality 😍
All pav bhaji lovers are suggested to go and visit ❤️
#greatqualityandgreattaste🤤
This is place is one of the best pav bhaji joints! The food is utterly delicious & even thou when it's crowded there are no compromises in the taste..
Must haves:
Pav bhaji, tawa pulav, paneer bhurji & of course masala pav... The chunk of butter is mesmerizing! Must try out this place!
Ambiance: okish- 1.5/5
Food: 5/5😍
Ordered dal khichdi from here. Great blend and balance of spices used. The quantity and quality is maintained with the price they charge. N the order was delivered within half an hour
If some one wants to relish mouth watering pav bhaji. Get it here.too yummy.Also the food is quite reliable in terms of hygiene. Go here for weekends and enjoy.

Bala Ka Dhaba 😊
This place is located at Ganga Sadan, BJ Patel Road, Near SNDT College, Malad West, Mumbai.
Bala Ka Dhaba I and my family eat here since my school time it is near my aunty place so we all together enjoy alot. First bala ka dhaba was like street food now it well managed & turned into a small hotel specially for Pav bhaji it is famous👍
In morning breakfast time they keep misal ussal pav with vada etc it is very yummy & tasty typical Marathi style misal & ussal👌
The taste of Pav bhaji is authentic & different of other Pav bhaji it is very buttery tasty yummy full of yumminess and rich in taste good red color bhaji garnish with butter & coriander quality and quantity is sufficient to fill your stomach people are crazy for this pav bhaji. Pav bhaji is very buttery.
Pavs are really full of butter
Butter pav single is for 10/- rs
Sara pav is for 5/-
Tawa Pulao
The taste of tawa Pulao is mindblowing lovely making with rice veggies spices loaded of butter etc very rich in taste I love it♥️
The making style of Pav bhajis Tawa Pulao is different and taste is unique.
There are plenty of varieties in Pav bhaji like Normal Pav bhaji Mushroom Pav bhaji Khada Pav bhaji Cheese Pav bhaji etc.
Ambience is normal seating is proper staff is good service is normal avoid weekend because it is very crowdy quality is superb quantity is nice and proper parcels are perfectly packed.
Must visit with family & friends at Bala Ka Dhaba hotel.

The best Pav bhaji joint in our vicinity... Have visited and ordered from here several times and the pav-bhaji is always yummy & utterly-butterly. The double cheese Tawa pulao is a must have here and so is the cheese chutney pav.
Expect 1/5 ambience & 5/5 Pav bhaji here :)
food was good . the one which we ordered less spicy was quite thick . rest all we're good
the compliment things were not given properly
Delivery guy was way before his time .
appreciate the delivery guy
Pavbhaji quality very good but quantity very less. Should use big bowl. In a carry bag quantity was sufficient but in a container it is not sufficient.
order for us al pao...don't get pao
As always, fantastic taste and delivery before schedule time given. This is my favorite place to order Pav Bhaji. Never got disappointed. Keep it up Bala people 👍
good food, great quantity
Amazing food and reasonable.
My most fav place for Pav bhaji .
Not spicy . Exactly the way I love it .
Tried once & ever since then been ordering from here .
Most loved & perfect place for Pav Bhajis :)
Dis is my go to place if i am craving for pav bhaji or tawa pulav..not too great to sit n eat der,but good for takeaway..d smell tempts u to have pav bhaji even if u r passing nearby..n d taste is amazing too..quantity is also decent..its good value for ur buck..all d guests i serve d pav bhaji n pulav to have also liked it a lot..
A small restaurant located near sndt college with limited seating and decent interiors.
We had ordered the following:-
1)Maggi Masala Pav- Was something unique. Was decent in taste , but should have been spicy which enables in getting the rich taste.
2)Pav bhaji- I have tried pav bhaji at many places .This was not the best pav bhaji in taste but was ok to taste. This too missed the spiciness .
Food-3.5/5
Ambience-2.5/5
Service-3/5
Pav Bhaji!!! Anytime favourite of everyone.
Bala ka Dhaba highly recommended for pav bhaji.
One of the places is malad that serves awesome pav bhaji. Bala actually started by a roadside stall and his pav bhaji was so awesome that now he owns a hotel. But there is a difference in taste now and I liked the one he served before more as compared to now.
The hotel is not a classy one . Service and ambience both are average. Capacity of around 25-30 people.
I would suggest you to go for a take away rather than ordering for home delivery as they have a long list to deliver everyday and there are high chances that your order would be delivered late. It's recommended to go before 8pm on weekends.
I have tried:
Pav bhaji:4.5/5
Pulao: 3.5/5
Paneer bhurji: 4/5
Missal pav: 4/5 (will be served before 2pm)
Mainly Recommended for Pav Bhaji.
One of the luscious paav-bhaji in malad ;) !! Very famous for late night pav-bhaji cravings ! Resto is open till 1.30,2 am. Dhaba is actually a misnomer , they are chiefly famous for pav-bhaji only..

Poooooooooooooor............................ service food is OK reasonable priced but staff they don't know to take order or to talk quality is OK.......
Well known for its pav bhaji,It really tastes good.
You can also try pulav ,briyani and panner burji.
Sitting is available,but parking might be an issue.
If you are fond of having Pav bhaji with less pocket spending ... U must visit this Dhaba.....dojt go by the name... Here its proper table chair like u find in South Indian restaurant.... Abt of 9 tables. A small joint to have Pav bhaji
And tava pulav is ok... U can give a try... Usually people prefer to take parcel
I had called for a home delivery of their well known Pav Bhaji and Mutter Tawa Pulao. The quantity was good enough to suffice 2 ppl.
Taste wise the Pav Bhaji had a tang of Tandoor... might be a Tandoor dish was prepared just before my Pav Bhaji. But that slightly different Tandoor tasting Pav Bhaji was still good.
Mutter Tawa Pulao was well cooked and tasty. No complaints.
So at a cheap price, I relished on some good food.
Awesome place to be in! Must try ( PREFER TO ORDER)......
Pav bhaji is the best***

This is a very small place in Malad not the best place to go and have a meal bt I order in from them a lot of times. Their pav bhaji is superbbb unlike the bhagwatis and the sardars who have made it more abt the butter and less abt the bhaji. Very tasty.. another thing to order from here is their butter dal aloo khichadi which is so simple and yet so awesome.
A nice little restaurant in Malad with good food, good for lunch or parcel, recommended dal yellow with ghar jaisi ghee chapati, pav bhaji. Also at dirt cheap prices.
Awesome pav bhaji
Instant delivery

Small place. But perfect place for jain people.. They serve best jain yum pav bhaji and tava pulav.. So jainy's do visit.. I promise u won't regret it..😜😘💝🍱
Perfect pav bhaji maker. Cooked properly on a large tawa that has a coal base. Taste is consistent since they started with a stall on street. Also, they make amazing Paneer Bhurji that is quite unknown to the masses.
Best Pav Bhaji In Malad ✌ one must try here! Low rates and quick service. Their Masala Pav is one of a kind! As delicious Fast food as you desire!
Edited : 23/08/2018 : In addition to my earlier review posted as below.. there is a new jem in their list of dishes i.e Paneer Bhurji with Chapati... the most delicious paneer bhurji i ever had.. even Bade Miya in south of mumbai fails at the taste.. please go and have it ..
For Chappar todd pav bhaji and tawa pulav.. best joined discovered.. small place but no complaints at all as for taste is concerned.. tomato onion masala salad is something u should ask for along with pav bhaji.. Light on pockets too... food lovers.. check it out..
The Dal khichdi here is amazing
Very good service and awesome veg food
Need to improve on the hygiene factor at the restaurant.
Quick home delivery
Amazing pav bhaji ! Pricing very reasonable...not tried proper meal, good for fast food.
Drawback : Not enough place to sit and delivery not always available.
Must try for pav bhaji 👍🏼
This is the 1st place that comes to mind when we are late from work and need some food for dinner.. This quaint little joint is located close to SNDT College in Malad West and offers home delivery too (provided they have some or their delivery boys available ).. two of our favourite dishes to try here are the Pav Bhaji and the Tava Pulao.. For a change I ordered the Butter Aloo Palak Khichdi today and that was yummy too.. Will definitely recommend this place.. I hope he starts making dosas soon!!!
Its been more than a year since we've been ordering food from here, since my Jiju loves Pav-bhaji, everytime they visit us, my Mother relies only on Bala ka dhaba to get the evening going. The pav bhaji is really good, the one that sets a benchmark of what a pav bhaji should be. :)
Well an awesome place too have pav bhaji and pulav... don't go on cleaniness :p kabhi kabhi chalta hai
Good food 7/10
Nt at all costly
Ppl prder d food home nt muct provision to sit bt pav bhaji is awesom and its famous in the area
Worth going
It has the best PAV BHAJI in MALAD (W)... Pricing is around ₹150,
Been ordering more 5 years now.
But remember there are many delays in order.
And also not recommended for dining.
Good food , nice sitting, never the less don't forget to help him by peeling potatoes when order food.. good time to kill untill served , Sagar the buddy the all rounder
P.S food finished 😋, plate clear yummy
Today i ordered for the first time...food was tasty n chapati was soft n hot...paneer tikka masala,bhindi masala ....both are tasty
This hotel is very nice and the famous pavbhaji here is very delicious 🤤, definitely try it once
The Best Pav Bhaji place in Malad & Nothings like it !
Specially famous for PavBhaji. Ambience is okay. Service is Average. Food is tasty. Try Pav Sandwhich.
I guess somesh the owner is extremely friendly with all the customers he really values each and every one present in the hotel the food is delicious service is awesome
Small, tidy & neat restaurant. Parcel ordered for Mashroom Tava Pulav. It was very tasty, good quantity and worth it's price. Worth repeating.
Good at normal price I had thali for 180rs which include chawal dal two sabji (mix veg. And panner keema) 2roti and one papad with salad and boondi raita .. taste was good ..
Bada pav was also good in taste 1 pav for 5rs and butter pav extra will charge for 15rs you will get 2 butter pav bhaji at 140rs .. so will tell good to go budget friendly.
Never had Pav Bhaji as delicious as they serve, I’ve been to many so-called famous Pav Bhaji Outlets but nothing beats Bala Ka Dhaba. Their Bhaji is cooked on Coal.
Located just off Marve Road, this small nook gives serious competition to the best Pav Bhaji restaurants in the city. It seems a bunch of young friends run this place, just be nice to them and they will serve with a smile.
The place can get really busy in the evening as most of their business happens via parcel delivery.
While you won’t miss out on having Pav Bhaji here but you should also order Chutney Pav (Pav rolled into garlic chutney & butter - topped with Dhaniya). Thank me later !

You can taste best Pav Bhaji of the area around good location. One can find this place very easily
Had pawbhaji which was prepared on the coal fired sigdi... Taste was good. Wish they could maintain the interiors well. Considering overall experience I found it bit over priced... Good for takeaway. ..
Gud Food.. Delivery also available.. but the main thing they didn't proving half plate system. Good sitting place. Easy available. Connected to main road. Bhaji is too good. Now, they have renovated the place again. If person is single. Full is to be ordered. Otherwise you get good quality of food.
Small place with great taste.
Although they serve a full menu of dinner, pav bhaji, pulav is their speciality .
The taste is awesome and quantity good.
The tawa pulav is yummy and all sorts pf masala pavs etc to go with pav bhaji, khadi bhaji are great.
Its a great economy place to eat/take away. The seating arrangement is basic, non AC.
