Been going to trishna for years, do not think ever had to look at the menu after the first couple of times. However this was different, with a couple of veggies accompanying us.
Great crispy veg; paneer stuff, pindi chole, hyderabadi daal with piping hot tandoori rotis....
On the Non veg front, everything that has been said & more

I realize that it sounds like anathema to go to Trishna and eat only the vegetarian food (especially in light of the fact that I am usually a die-hard sea food fanatic!), but that is exactly what I did for lunch today.
I was by myself so did not want to order a multiple dishes for fear that (a) I would not be able to finish them or, (b) if I DID finish them, I would be in a food coma for the remainder of the day which would render me unable to go back to work.
I decided to keep it simple and order a portion of the Hyderabadi Daal and a Butter-Garlic Naan. Both items were superlative!
I cannot say for sure, but I'd be willing to wager cold cash that even the daal they make in Hyderabad itself is not as good as Trishna's version of it. Add to this a moist, warm and thoroughly flavorful butter-garlic naan and you have yourself a great lunch.
In addition to the GREAT food, the service at Trishna is always friendly, prompt and curteuos - all of which go a long way in creating customer loyalty (God knows I keep going back!!).
On the price front, Trishna tends to be a little on the high side (which is why it only earned 4 stars from me). For my simple lunch, I ended up paying 250 bucks. This figure is not really high per se, but if one bears in mind that all I got was daal, naan and a soda-pop it seems a bit pricey.
Either way, on the balance, Trishna deserves (and gets) 2 whole-hearted thumbs up from me.

I just went across for lunch this afternoon and as usual was delighted with the food and service. It is really the ideal place for a quick delicious meal - always!
We had the Prawn Koliwada, Butter Garlic Squid, Daal Hyderabadi and roti. Light, yummie and moderately expensive. Even after treating ourselves to a couple of large Kingfisher beers, the bill came to about Rs.300 per head - not so bad for what you get!
If you haven't been there, you MUST (even if you are not a seafood fan)!

I went for a lunch meeting this afternoon and my host took me to this place called Trishna. The place is located in the Kala Ghoda area in some dodgy street, but man talk about deceptive appearances. Once we went inside the place had a good ambiance and was almost packed.
Now this place is known for their seafood, but me being a vegetarian went in for their paneer kadhai and dal hyderabadi. What a delight the dal was! Yum Yum. One of the best I've had in recent memory. Just finger licking stuff.
The service was quick, the food tasty and the ambiance pleasant. What else can one ask for?

Ignore the street you have to go down to get to Trishna, it may feel like you have wandered in to the Bronx but honestly its worth it.
This little hidden gem is worth searching out. Almost an institution in Mumbai it prides itself on its fabulous seafood, and its easy to see why.
Crab, fish, lobster and prawns vie with an array of other tasty veg and non-veg goodies. You can even meet your dinner before you eat it - if you are so inclined.
Its not cheap but very much value for money. If you are not sure what to choose ask the waiter for the best of that day, they will assist in the best choices.
The staff are friendly and the service is swift, but so much so that you need to worry that it wasn't cooked fresh every time.
A great place to go with friends or for a romantic tet a tet.
