The most freshest and the luscious-est idli I have ever eaten. And the fact that it opens up as early as 0600 hours is cherry on the top.
Very minimalistic interiors, which you'd never associate with a restaurant in Mumbai. Like an old run-down Irani hangout with the only exception of serving piping hot (read soft as well) idlis with even more hotter sambar and delectable coconut chtuney.
The pax consist of mostly South Indians who set the alarm a little early (even on a weekend) to catch up the best South Indian fare ever served (at the price at which they offer).
After downing two plates of idlis, then it is time for the kanda poha - and woa, it's a sweet version of this so quintessentially Maharashtrian fare, and didnt I just love it. Never had had Kanda-poha with sambar and chatni, but it tasted totally delicious.
The filter kaapi is five star rated, and just gives you the right amount of kick to get on started with you day.
An amazing place, and would look to be here whenever I am in this part of the town, in the early hours of the morning, and am famished for a bite.
Kudos to Ram Ashraya !!! Hope your tribe increases. :) \m/
