Cringing, craving, bingeing, braving... you always have an opinion on what's hot and what's not in your city and we just love to hear it. Besides, there's no better place to satiate that itch to bitch!
Decided to try Mysore Cafe on account of Saturday rush at all the places at Matunga Circle today. Seeing that it was Burrp certified I felt assured of the quality and promptly ordered a Sada Dosa, Aloo Puri and Filter Coffee. Halfway through the Dosa I was surprised to find a BIG STRAND OF HAIR that had been cooked into the Dosa (was completely entwined into it). The waiter acted as if it was a small thing and offered to bring me another Dosa. I decided it was best to leave and asked for the bill. The waiter promptly produced the bill for the "Hair Contaminated" Dosa and the person at the cash... read more

Hi, The hair strand in the dosa is deeply regretted. Could you send us a copy of the bill (if you have it) to cafe_mysore@hotmail.com? We will conclude this matter to your satisfaction.
I don't have a lot of words to describe this place. Being someone from the south (Bangalore) who has just started discovering the "best" joints in mumbai, the place doesn't make it to the top spot for me only because: a) There's ramashraya. b) There's the South of India.
On a more serious note, without using the "South of India" yardstick, and also not taking anything away from Cafe Mysore; it is a decent joint. I believe I have had a good vada or two and two three decent dosa variations here. The sheera was not upto the mark compared to the chikoo sheera that Ramashraya serves.... read more
Lets cut to the chase, I love Mysore Cafe! No matter how many times I have been here, the food has always remained consistent, tasty and reasonable. And it is a pleasure to eat at an establishment that isn't self absorbed and without pretence. The Rasam Wada, Mysore masala Dosa and Filter Coffee are my eternal favorites. The Kesar Nimbu pani is also awesome, since it is made fresh. After the meal you can purchase a nice Beeda(south Indian pan) for Rs 3/-. No matter how rushed, the waiters will always be polite and ensure the food reaches your table in a reasonable amount of time. And since I trawl... read more
Will try to be fair as we are hard core Cafe Madras lovers. Landed up late there and booking was closed so we ended up here. The AC sitting area was full so we decided to sit in the non AC part as it was very late.
What hit us first was the speed at which the staff cater to customers ... we gave the order and except the dosa, everything was in our table within 2 mins flat... A positive compared to 'some' waiting time at the opposite joint. Sadly the food was nowhere comparable ... the Mysore Masala dosa was too crisp and slightly burnt, bordering on bitterness in taste. the batter used... read more

Dear Sir,
We really appreciate your coming to Cafe Mysore. Our dosas are crisp and burnt (it's fondly called 'Kadak' by our customers, and we get the product returned if it isn't kadak). Our sambar is made on a fixed methodology. We just cater to different set of tastebuds and offer a unique product proposition here in Matunga. I hope you do enjoy your Matunga culinary experience. Its the land of South Indian restaurants with different products and different tastes!
