What people say, in short
Ram Ashray draws broad support for South Indian food across its Mumbai outlets, with the original Matunga restaurant pinned here. Dosas, uttapam and pineapple sheera receive specific recommendations, and breakfast comes up repeatedly. Two diners describe it as affordable, while opinions on queues differ: some praise the quick turnover, while another would go elsewhere rather than wait. Dissent includes disappointment with the dosa, complaints of declining taste and one diner's dislike of the sweet sambar.
