Chaitanya, Dadar
14 people recommend, 3 warn against itvia r/mumbai·18 comments quoted below
What people say, in short
Chaitanya in Dadar is a frequently recommended spot for Malvani-style seafood and fish thalis, with one commenter who identifies as Malvani saying its authentic taste is unmatched elsewhere in the city. Crab lollipops get a specific shout-out, and it is often suggested as a lunch stop near Siddhivinayak, including for family outings. The honest caveats: a few commenters found the food bland or disappointing compared to home-cooked Malvani food, and one diner notes the queue can be very long.
