Kalpana Restaurant — Restaurant in Mumbai

It was late 1980, I availed the lunch services in Kalpana, which was in adjacent building to my office in Tulsi Vihar. The first order was Kalpana Thali, costing Rs.7/-. The sitting arrangement was in open, in front and on the side of air conditioned (higher charges) dining hall. The items consisted of 5 puris or 2 tanduri rotis, curd, marble size (and shaped) onions, under marinated lemon pickle, roasted papad, tomato soup, sambar, rassam, vegetable curry, dry vegetable beans with grated coconut, boiled and cut potatoes, gulab jamun and rice served separately in oval bowl and dal in round bowl. Once tasted the food, I chose daily lunch at Kalpana and dined with my colleagues. Being regulars, we got replacements - pulav for rice, masala dosa sabji for dry potato, shrikhand for curd and tomato soup for rassam, without any additional charges. Some years later, the thali became more expensive, costing Rs.10/- and outside sitting was abolished as BMC objected. Nowadays, I understand, the same thali costs...

Good restaurant, specifically if you drink alcohol or beer. The food was very good, the staff was not as good as the food but the atmosphere was a 5 star. I don't know why but we were eating and I said that we'll order more if we need so but the manager replied arrogantly that order now or the restaurant will close and it was just 10:30 pm. Also the food is a bit over prized like it's 48 rupees for a single normal roti and you know what the roti was very hard when it was served. I told the waiter that it's very hard and then he replied that sir you took very loong to eat it so it got hard. I littrely only stood up to wash my hands for a minute and that was his reply. Believe me I would have caused a disaster there if I was with my friends or I was alone, I had my family there. The mashroom sabzi was also not good. Also the manager does not know how to take pictures. I'll attach them below. Our total bill was 1700 but we had very less food...

Excellent place for vegetarians... If you like good vegetarian food, this is one of the best places in this area. Being at Worli Naka, it's highly visible driving on the main road. There are parking spaces also - won't be a problem if are driving your car. You have variety of options from the menu. If you want Jain food - will get too. The Bar is only at the mezzanine/1st floor. The upper area is more cosy/informal - good for families/friends/party. Most important - exemplary good hospitality/service - one of the best I have interacted with. The people at service often remember the preferences......
