Naadbramha Idli Bhumkar Chowk — Restaurant in Maharashtra

I came back here after months to give another review and keep it updated

Went to Naadbramha Idli restaurant and here’s my review:

Since I am a South Indian (from Kerala) I am usually harsh on South Indian restaurants in terms of food, flavors, quality and hygiene.

There are plenty of better places nearby that serve tastier food with respectful service. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time...

I recently visited this outlet after hearing a lot of positive reviews about the chain. I tried their star item, the idli, which was soft and had the right texture. The coconut chutney was also tasty. I did not try the sambhar, so I can't comment on its flavor. The medu wada seemed a bit pricey compared to the idli.

There is no seating arrangement, so you have to eat standing up. The tables were not very clean and didn't seem to be cleaned often. However, there is enough parking for bikes. Since this outlet is located at a busy junction, parking might be a bit difficult for...
