The comments cited below are a sample of the full tally across 15 threads.
What people say, in short
Ram Ashraya draws more recommendations than warnings, but its South Indian food divides opinion. This original Matunga pin represents a pool that also includes mentions of the newer nearby outlet and Charni Road, not identical experiences at every branch. Diners recommend dosas, uttapam, neer dosa and pineapple sheera. Two long-time customers describe a decline in taste, and other critics call the food bland or overhyped. One commenter prefers the old Matunga outlet to the new one; another found both disappointing. One visitor reports early weekend queues, while others still choose it for breakfast.
