Hygiene Issue 2012-04-07
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

Definitely not a 4 2012-03-04
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 -

A touch of honesty 2012-03-03
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 -

Poor cousin of Cafe Madras ... 2012-02-27
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!

Great idli, delicious chutney and tasty sambhar 2012-02-26
As a true blue South Indian, I crave for sambhar that's got the right level of tanginess without any unpleasant and excessive sweetness, chutney that's got the right amount of coconut and is not too watery or spicy and, most importantly, idlis that are made of freshly fermented batter with just the right 'proportions' of dal and rice and are moist and soft-but-firm ( like a baby's bottom:). On all three fronts, Cafe Mysore did not disappoint. I could've easily been eating the idli, sambhar chtuney at home.
Now for the bite of reality. Any true South Indian will tell you that 'hotel' dosas... read more -

Been here, done that!! Ho Hum.... 2012-02-09
So for the start, I've heard a lot about this place and decided to try it out as a breakfast option on 04-02-2012.
Me and my hubby made way to the restaraunt around 8'o clock in the morning. We ordered for Idli+Wada sambhar, Rava Masala Dosa, Mysore Masala Dosa, Shiraa and coffees (except coffees one of each.)So Let's start with the food-
Idli+Wada sambhar: Idli was amazingly good, soft and warm. Wada was also fine, not too spicy or oily. Wish the same could be said about the Sambhar, which was all watary / lacking thickness of a daal & veggie broth.
Rava Masala Dosa: Good in texture... read more -

Average food, Bad service 2012-01-08
No i am not schizophrenic to change my opinion of my place so fast. So you see below my review based on a particular day and this current one is based on my last experience on Jan 1 there.
Average food. Sambhar served cold - when I told the waiter that its cold and to please bring it hot - he says - sorry this is what you will have to have - I cannot get it hot. Had to get the manager to intervene to get some lukewarm sambar !
Most of the food , including the idlis served today were lukewarm.
Bisi Bele was rice with excess water in it !!
Service was TERRI... read more -

I can understand what you've gone through cannot be taken back from you. But as a customer and consumer myself in society, I can attest it does happen in my life and causes considerable irritation. Bottomline, your feedback is taken. You ought to know that we were greeted by a water problem in the new year week which set our momentum completely off balance. We're back running now. And you ought to be seeing us once again. :-)Replied by: spreadingjoys, on Jan 09, 2012 Flag this
Appreciate your acceptance and regret of this experience Mr Nayak. I hope you will train your waiters in serving hot dishes, or reheating them if a customer asks for it.
Will drop by again and see if I have my 5 star experience again or my 2 star one :).

Superb! 2011-09-27
Service: Super-fast, super polite and nice. Expect long wait on week-ends, but max 10 mins.
Food: I don't know where to start and where to end - but in a word: INCREDIBLE.
Must Try: Dilkhush Dosa (lives upto it's name, Rasam (wow!), Neer Dosa (melts in mouth), Mysore Masala Dosa (yum!) and Pineapple Sheera. Btw. the Coffee here ROCKS and it's perfect end to a lovely, fully, gratifying meal.
All in all, a winner. The place exists for 70+ years for a reason!! -
