Santosham

What people say, in short
Santosham comes up often as a South Indian pick in Thane, with multiple commenters recommending it and a few singling out its benne dosa, plus one who likes that the menu goes beyond dosa. One diner considers it close to authentic South Indian even while agreeing it is pricey, though another prefers Thambi over it. The caveats: one visitor's Onam Sadhya at the Manpada outlet left them unimpressed, with middling food and poor seating, and another found a recent order's chutney and sambhar subpar. One commenter adds that the Thane branch serves small meals without the banana leaf, unlike Powai.
