Arya Bhavan, Matunga
12 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia X, r/mumbai14 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Arya Bhavan's Mumbai recommendations are pooled on its Matunga pin. A Matunga diner praises its idlis, and another places it among the area's good vegetarian South Indian restaurants. Separately, one Chembur diner praises that branch's crisp mysore masala and podi masala dosas and prefers it to Ram Ashraya; those dish claims are not transferred to Matunga. Dissent remains visible: one visitor reports a sour dosa, and another favours Dakshinayan instead. A different diner likes the vadas, idlis and sambar, illustrating that experiences are not uniform.
