On my trip to Mumbai, I stumbled upon Prakash Shakahari Upahar Kendra and what a find! As someone not from Maharashtra, the array of vegetarian maharashtrian dishes here was an exciting dive into local flavors. I tried their sabudana vada, misal, thalipith, patra for the first time, and all were deliciously spiced and comforting. It's clear that each dish is made with a lot of love and care with a balance of ingredients, the dishes were new to our palatte so some of us did not like all of them but that's understandable. We also tried their famous piyush, kokam sharbat and Solkadhi. Solkadhi surprisingly was an amazing spicy drink and totally loved that. Piyush was similar to lassi drink and was pretty comforting. The place has a friendly, welcoming vibe, packed with people enjoying their meals. It feels very much like a community hub, with the hustle of excited chatter and clinking dishes. The staff were super helpful in recommending dishes, which added to the warm experience. For any traveler looking to taste authentic Maharashtrian vegetarian cuisine, Prakash Shakahari Upahar Kendra is a must-visit!
