The oldest authentic south Indian restaurant. Most fav is idli wada, but my favourite is Idli Gadbad. Awesome dish. Other very popular dishes are mysore sada dosa, dilkhush dosa, upma, super pineapple sheera and authentic south Indian filter coffee. Try rasam glass (a small glass of rasam water). A/c seating on first floor, and non a/c on ground floor. Very clean. The service is super quick. The only issue is very difficult to get car parking.

Visited Cafe Mysore, Matunga with high expectations as it’s one of the well-known South Indian spots in Mumbai. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. We tried the Gadbad Idli, which sounded interesting on the menu, but taste-wise it was quite average and not up to the mark. The flavors felt unbalanced and it lacked the authentic punch you expect from a classic Matunga eatery. We also ordered the Dilkhush Dosa (stuffed). The presentation was decent, but again, the taste didn’t justify the reputation or the pricing. It felt heavy and not particularly flavorful. What disappointed us more was the customer service. The staff seemed disinterested and inattentive, which affected the overall dining experience. When a place carries such a strong reputation, basic hospitality should match the food quality. Overall, in my opinion, it feels a bit overhyped. There are other South Indian restaurants in Matunga that offer better taste and service at similar or better prices. Would consider revisiting only if there’s noticeable improvement.
