Utsav, a vegetarian restaurant with branches near Viviana Mall and in Panchpakhadi, is one of the most frequently recommended veg spots in Thane, with many people listing it among their favourites and some praising the taste and generous portions. Price is the big caveat: several commenters call it pricey, one walked out after seeing the rates, and one found a basic meal for two very costly. Others warn against it entirely, saying the taste is mediocre and to skip it, and one diner reports poor hospitality at the Viviana branch. Specific gripes include bad veg biryani, and one commenter says the Panchpakhadi branch is bad while recommending the Viviana one.
