The fish we tried were extremely fresh and meaty.Spice tolerance levels were ascertained at the time of briefing the peculiarity of the dish. We were greeted by Mr. Vynkatesh and served by Mr. Kabir. Both were polite, friendly, courteous and professional. A must visit place for all the food lovers to enjoy the culinary delights of southern states.

A very beautiful place to have dishes from any of the 4 South Indian States. A great ambience and awesome service. We have chicken ghee roast. While it was very close to the authentic taste, maybe a little more was needed. Very surprisingly, we found each of the two bowls having a different taste. A must visit place for the South Indian community or for those who long for a taste of such good food. It's located in the heart of Mahim and very easily accessible

For starters i had Sri lanka chicken lollypop, it was spicy, full of flavours ..must have it. I had an unlimited non veg banana leaf thali Egg curry= good ,a bit tangy like butter chicken gravy Chicken curry= boneless, spicy, best thing in the thali Mutton curry= extremely sour, okayish, people who like sour can enjoy Solkadhi & buttermilk= a bit diluted, could be better Paratha n appam = very good Sambhar n rassam = authentic south style sambhar, rassam was a bit spicy,liked both Pineapple sheera= great to have , ask for warm sheera Pickle, imli chutney n gunpowder= enhances your taste buds Overall a good experience 👍

Hands down to one of the best South food I have ever eaten across Mumbai. There are a lot of radiations which you can try and I think mutton pepper fry was my favorite. Even the payassam was too good to be true. Have you ordered a lot of things like gunpowder squid fry mutton pepper, chicken pepper fry, fried coriander chicken then we ordered for a biryani. Also we had chicken chettinad and some mutton gravy which is difficult to remember along with Malabar Paratha and neer dosa Then ended up eating a moong dal by some payassam and save your seviya carrot payassam. I didn't like the biryani to be very honest because it wasn't the Biryani that you can eat if you keep your expectations on biryani. What I was really disappointed about is the service... There is limited staff and it's difficult for them to take over a lot of people. After it's finished we have to wait for 15-20 minutes to call somebody and then ask for water. Rest overall experience was good and the food was satisfactory. Being some of the best dishes to some of the not so great dishes I ever had. Currently Zomato is running 50% off against this restaurant. Else if you are a gold member you walk into the restaurant you get 25% off on the bill if you pay by Zomato. Also there are offers available on swiggy die out as well which you can explore. So grab the deal go and have one of the best seafoods and chicken matine I had in this place.

If you adore south Indian cuisine, do visit this restaurant. There is waiter by the name Akram, who will help you in choosing right meals. Do look for him, if you are not sure about your choice. The dishes we ordered were both veg and non veg. Both the dishes were equally tasty and delicious. The decor of the restaurant is very enticing and the menu card is very innovative. Must visit.

This was my first try at trying this cuisine and I must say I regret not trying it sooner! Everything about this place is authentic from The ambience to the food and even the staff is dressed in traditional clothing. The staff is very courteous and welcoming which made our dining a pleasant experience. I tried- Chilli coriander pachdi- Soft paneer tossed in a Spicy green chutney. It was very flavourful! Kundapur ajadina- A mangalorean speciality with grated coconut and special masalas from the south. If you like spicy food, this one is for you!!! Ghassi- A coconut milk based red curry with vegetables. This is slightly tangy and spicy. Best of both worlds! Went really well with malabar parotta. Appam- They were soft and fluffy and was topped with gun powder. Neer Dosa- 1 portion serves 4! they were very soft and thin; And complimented the curries. Parotta- soft and flaky parottas! These are a must have, they taste great with curries but I also relished them just on their own too. Payasam- This is a MUST have!!!! The perfect sweet ending to your scrumptious meal. Definitely going back to try the lunch on banana leaf.

Yesterday, I went to Thangbali for lunch. This is the place to go if you want true South Indian food (not the usual Doas/Idli). The staff is kind and the service is speedy. We tried Andra Dry Chicken- It was a touch spicy because it had green chilies. But I enjoyed the flavor. Fish Tawa fry - Surmai fried with the appropriate marination was soft, fresh, and delectable. Kandapura Chicken With Neer Dosa - This is one of my favorite combinations to try. Chettinad Biryani - I could smell the biryani before it was presented to the table. The flavor was amazing. Basmati rice with a layer of Chettinad chicken in between. Aam Panna & Soul Kadhi - To digest the entire meal which was just perfect. They also serve Authentic unlimited lunch on Banana leaf (Elai Sappadu) on weekdays.
