Just Wow!!!! to begin with. Fantastic place with mind blowing and palate satisfying South Indian taste delicacies. Food is Good, dining area is more than average, but have many tables, ample in number for dining. The place at times has waiting, so plan well ahead, though we got within 5 min. May be on weekend the waiting bis slightly higher. Coffee is just Filter Coffee, and taste really authentic. One thing to remember is the taste is actually from Tamil Nadu region, if one expects Andhra or Kerala taste, then it's slightly different. Give a try for Good experience
I know this place is very popular among locals and everything but frankly the taste was not up to the mark, the shared sitting options is a wrong move as some people just don't come to eat and go some just come to spend some time have a break and eat their food with calm, according to the restaurant they are right as there is too much crowd waiting so yes,
Secondly hygiene and the quality is top notch but I didn't like the taste that much as if it was average only like every other restaurant
The prices are high compared to other joints in the vicinity
Filter coffee (kaapi) was top notch and was just perfect
Thank-you,
The place is highly recommended
Food here tastes like a wowwww !!

Do visit Madras cafe if you are around
Amazing breakfast place to have south Indian food. We had ordered Podi idli, Tuppa dosa with Podi, Rasam vada, Pineapple sheera and Filter coffee. Their Podi idli and filter coffee are a must try.
This place is iconic...always crowded. I totally loved their tuppu podi dosa, set dosa and stew and appam.
Food was good. Service was good. Atmosphere was nice. We had order Benne Pessarettu Masala, pineapple sheera, sets with white butter, masala chaas, filter coffee(kappi), bisimillee rice.
This South Indian spot in Mumbai is amazing, and it's been around for a long time. People start waiting at 7:30 am to get in. The place isn't fancy, but the food is fantastic. They serve tasty idlis, medu wadas, dosas cooked in ghee, and delicious dahi missal and Pongal. Everything is so good; there's nothing to complain about. Don't forget to try their filter Kaapi and pineapple sheera – they're a must! It's a place that's been loved for years, and once you taste their food, you'll know why. Parking may be an issue as there is not much of an option if you happen to visit during the day. advisable to go early mornings.
This is one of the iconic places of Mumbai. We tried Pineapple shira, thuppa podi dosa and Madras Dahi Misal and Butter podi idli. Dosa is better. Misal was so so. You can try their veg stew with neer dosa and bisibille rice. The staff is quick and responsive. But there is always a waiting line. Plus, the space is crunchy. So they ask you to adjust with other people sitting on the same table.
A small cozy cafe that serves good authentic South Indian food and is always busy. Apparently famous movie stars such as Jackie Shroff and few others frequent this joint. All the food we tried was delicious and the filter coffee is out of this world! On Weekends there are people lining up before 7 am!! Their podi Dosa, podi upma was new even for me!
Cafe Madras in Matunga offers an authentic South Indian experience. The Vada Sambhar was good, but not exceptional. However, the Tuppa Masala Dosa was outstanding, with a deliciously rich masala filling that stood out from the rest. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make dining here a pleasure. Generous portions and reasonable prices add to the overall value. If you crave authentic South Indian cuisine, Cafe Madras is a must-visit gem in Matunga.
A must place to try South Indian snacks and Filter coffee. Usually rush on weekends , long wait also place is congested u will have to share table if you are 1 or 2 persons. We tried bisibele bath , onion uttapa and Benne dosa. Bisibele bath was good, utappa and dosa was average, Pineapple sheera was very good. Filter kappi(coffee) is also a must try.
