RAM ASHRAY, MATUNGA EAST.

Imagine a restaurant being crowded with a waiting list on Hindu New Year at 6 in the morning !! Surprising right? Well this is exactly the scene we experienced at Ram Ashray when we decided on having our breakfast there. This place is said to be one of the best places to savor the authentic South Indian food and is always crowded : morning, noon and night. So we decided to have a light little breakfast at this place and ended up having….

The menu is pretty long for a family who believes in eating right!!! We started by ordering Sada Dosa, Idli Wada, Medu Wada and Upma. Mind you the service is pretty fast. The dosa was crisp to perfection! The idli soft and fresh. Medu wada, divine and the chutney and sambhar, I could eat only that and nothing else. The second round consisted of Onion Tomato Uttappa and Coconut Sevai which is served only on Fridays and Sundays ( lucky us :p) The third order was the famous Sheera although we couldn’t have their Pineapple Sheera which is served only after 10. The sheera here is as good as the home-made, mom-made one. And ofcourse the last order was for ‘Filter Coffee’ ( how can I not have filter coffee at a south indian joint!! That would be the ultimate crime!)

So yes, this was a pretty elaborate menu and we were full but if you come to Ram Ashray you cannot leave without having their Special Paan. So we had those as well and those were as good as the food they serve. All in all I believe I don’t need to praise the place as regulars know what exactly I am talking about and the rest, the first-timers, you need to experience this yourself to see that I am not kidding or exaggerating !

P.S. This place opens up at 5 in the morning, so no one can have an excuse to not go to this place.
