Getting there: Outside Mulund Station (W), next to Citibank ATM
Visited this small eatery near Mulund Station on the recommendation of a south Indian coffee trader, in the hope of getting good filter coffee and authentic Tamil / Malu goodies.
This is a really small place, more like a dhaba. The genre of people around varies from workers to middle class Gujjus who love their idli and sambar. Hygiene and professionalism are really not high on their list (Who in India has it on their list? you may ask). So if you are from the picky ones, do not venture here. But here's my take on the food. The idli's were ok, not really the perfect round idli's which if done well can be visually appealling dish too. The coconut chutney was watery. The winners however were the wada's and sambar. They were easily among the top stuff i have had in south indian fare. For all you can say, the stuff was really tops. The wadas were perfectly fried, crunchy on the outside and soft inside, salt and all being just right. The sambar was also almost there. I think the spice was a bit compromised, otherwise it had all the ingredients in right proportion with the texture and taste being right. The odd bit was that they had added some jeera to the sambar, which is uncommon. The sad part was that they do not serve filter coffee and i had to make do with bru. The place is light on your pocket and you can snacks in about 20 to 30 bucks. It cost us 40 bucks for a plate of dosa, idli, wada and a glass of coffee
