So for all the foodies who are aware about “cafe madras” in matunga must be surprised to know that “Gopal Krishna” is the main branch which was started in 1936 by late. Shri. Gopalkrishna which was one of the iconic restaurants back then during British era and later in 1940 “cafe madras” was started. So now that you know the history of this place, let’s get back to food😀 This restaurant is situated at a walkable distance from Malad West station, easily accessible. Small, clean, comfy ambience and extremely humble and courteous staff who guide you through their menu and specials available for that particular day which keeps on changing. Traditional dishes served piping hot, fresh and that too at affordable rates.
We tried: 🔹Butter Podi Idli - Supremely delicious, hot idli’s topped with podi and dollops of ghee/butter, flooded with cocconut chutney is definitely a must try over here. Highly recommended 👍 🔹Neer Masala Dosa - We all must have tried plain neer dosa but the combination of soft neer dosa along with masala aloo sabji is truly amazing. If you are like me who loves her dosa to be soft and with masala sabji then this one’s for you. 🔹Bun Poori - Very famous breakfast dish from udupi (mangalore) which I had at Udupi some 5 years back and was surprised to see this being served in their special menu. You cannot miss this specific dish it’s that good. Highly recommended 👍. Though it is served with sambhar chutney but I would suggest you to try it with filter coffee, bliss😍 🔹Pineapple Sheera - Loaded with ghee, perfectly sweet with generous amount of pineapple chunks in every bite. Highly recommended 👍 🔹Filter coffee - Coming to a South Indian restaurant and not having filter coffee is next to impossible. Definitely recommend 👍 🔹Special mention for the sambar as it’s not the sweet variant which you usually get in an Udupi restaurant, infact it’s less tangy, refreshing...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hotel Gopal Krishna, and it truly exceeded my expectations. Specializing in South Indian cuisine with a focus on Jain food, this restaurant is a hidden gem for anyone looking to enjoy authentic and delicious vegetarian dishes.
From the moment you step in, the very traditional ambiance sets the tone for a great dining experience. The decor and setting make you feel like you're dining in a classic South Indian home. The staff is courteous and attentive, ensuring that all your needs are met promptly.
The menu is extensive, offering a wide variety of South Indian delicacies tailored for the Jain community. While they don't offer Jain Masala Dosa, the other dishes more than make up for it. The dosas are crisp and flavorful, and the idlis are soft and fluffy. The sambar and chutneys that accompany these dishes are perfectly spiced and aromatic. I particularly enjoyed the Jain Medu Vada, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making for a delightful snack.
One of the standout features of Hotel Gopal Krishna is their commitment to using fresh and high-quality ingredients. This attention to detail is evident in every bite, making each dish not only tasty but also wholesome.
While the food is the highlight, the overall experience is enhanced by the restaurant's clean and pleasant environment. The prices are reasonable, making it a great choice for both everyday meals and special occasions.
In conclusion, Hotel Gopal Krishna offers a fantastic dining experience for anyone craving South Indian Jain food. With its delicious offerings, attentive service, and welcoming atmosphere, it deserves a solid 4-star rating. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a satisfying and authentic South...
Read moreThis is a pure veg restaurant located very close to the Malad station. Starting with Idli Butter Pudi. They give good 2 big pieces of idlis covered in chutney and topped with Malgapuri powder. The Sambhar is given differently. It was good in taste and is recommended. We ordered ginger lemon beverage and Kokam sharbat. Really liked the kokam sharbat. In dosas, we ordered Ragi masala dosa. The masala was good in quantity and can be eaten between 2 people. It is served with sambhar and chutney. You can order extra sambhar and chutney. Next was the Pulao Kurma. It comes with the pulao filled with lots of peas and small ingredients. The kurma is like a bhaji and can be ordered more once finished. Also, the pickle is served with the kurma. The dish was good in taste and can be had as a meal for one person. Next was the tuppa masala dosa - the main dish. It was made in ghee and not oil and this tuppa masala dosa is heavy and can be had between 2 people. It is having a thick dosa like uttapam filled with lots of ingredients which includes onions, etc and masala inside the dosa. This dish is recommended. It again comes with sambhar and chutney. Last but not the least payasam was ordered and it was filled with sevai and also is called sevai kheer. It was good in taste. Overall experience was alright as the service was okay. The ginger lemon beverage was bitter in taste and I personally didn’t like it very much. But if you wish to have South Indian dish then this is the place to be near Malad Station. #mumbaifoodie #zomatoin #zomato #huffposttaste #buzzfeedfood #feedfeed #foodgram #foodlover #foodie #foodiegram #trellfood #foodporn #foodindia #dosa #idli #kokam #sevaikheer #kheer #payasam #southindian #sambhar #chutney #malgapuri #uttapam #ginger #lemon #malad #masaladosa...
