Thane city only, not Mumbai, Navi Mumbai or Kalyan-Dombivli. Brand-level suggestions share one named city location without transferring every outlet's experience. Some source captures have missing comments, so unavailable material may contain further recommendations or warnings. Counts describe distinct cited comments and posts, not visits.

Each one shows why people rate it, the caveats they raised, and a link straight to the original comment — so you read the source yourself instead of trusting a laundered rating.
