Chetana Veg. Restaurant & Bar (1946) — Restaurant in Mumbai

Chetana - excellent thali restaurant, they serve Gujarati, Marwari and Maharashtrian thalis here, super warm hospitable service. They really take care of you here with a smile and in case if there is a vegetable that you don't like in your thali they will replace it with another vegetable as well - this was truly amazing. Had the Gujarati thali here and being a Gujarati can definitely vouch for its authencity. Awesome Food and Super Awesome Service

We went on Diwali day and it was mad rush, we had to wait, which is fine but we got seats on right side room from main entrance which is made functional only during additional rush. This place has single door to enter exit and food servers focus only the main hall and rarely come to this room.

We ourselves had to ask for chaas and jaljira as we saw it being served in main hall and we got it only after half meal was done. We had checked what is the sweet dish of the day and came to know Jalebi was one of the two. We were served jalebi towards end of meal after our repeated asking. Phulkas were chewy and hard, the flour dough was not kneaded properly before preparing phulkaas. Cauliflower in vegetable was raw and not cooked properly. In farsan there was one kachori covering kind of rectangle and had no taste. Rice dhokla was taste less too. Undhio was extremely oily and muthia were rock hard. Wadas of dahi wada had very less salt and overall dahiwada was a big...

I heard from the owner that the restaurant is running for last 72 years. This is mind blowing.. Visited during Kalaghoda festival and naturally the restaurant was crowded but we could get our chance in 10 min. However since the table was big we have to share with other two persons. This is pretty unusual for Mumbai. They serve Only Thalis ( Gujarathi/ Rajasthani / Maharashtrian ) All costs Rs 589 plus taxes. We ordered Gujarati Thali. The taste was top class with most of the items served hot and fresh. Even though they have couple of less items on menu as compared with Maharaja Bhog. They also have only one sweet served and not unlimited unlike other restaurant. Surprised to see Gulabjamun or kheer as sweet option and not Jalebi as favourite one. The service was lacking on several fronts which was surprising considering their Long term experience. I was not served Kachori. Then they didn’t serve salads. They didn’t serve jal jeera or butter milk. Was told to select only one. They serve two rotis and bakri roti together in beginning which becomes soggy when we finally eat. They need to have a experienced person to supervise to ensure that the hospitality is taken care which usually tops in any such Gujarati restaurants. However leave alone such small gaps it is worth visiting this restaurant with family...

Food quality and service has deteriorated over period of time.

We have been to this place almost every other year during diwali or dussera period and have had good experience in past but this time it was bad.

Overall disappointed as had high expectations especially as it was Diwali day and was expecting good food, good service...
