Best restaurants in Matunga

5 restaurants in Matunga that locals recommend. Most recommended: Ram Ashray (19 people recommend it), Arya Bhavan (8 people recommend it) and Mysore Cafe (5 people recommend it).

Aadeshwari Biryani Centre comes up for Andhra-style non-vegetarian food, biryani and Guntur chicken parotta. Arya Bhavan, Mysore Cafe and Ram Ashray are South Indian choices for dosas, with ghee podi idli also singled out at Ram Ashray. Udupi Shri Krishna Boarding is recommended for thalis, as is Ram Ashray.

Where people disagree: Aadeshwari gets complaints about service, long waits and food falling short of Instagram hype, while another diner found it decent but oily. One visitor finds Arya Bhavan's dosa extremely sour. A few call Ram Ashray overrated, one finds its benne dosa bland, and another notes its Kannada rather than Tamil style. Mysore Cafe and Udupi Shri Krishna Boarding have positive but brief summaries.
