The Class Veg Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Mumbai

16 January 2020 - 19.00 hours "A perfect Thali, especially for Gujaratis"

The class Thali is a restaurant in the thali business for 20 years. This is a perfect place for anyone who loves thalis or Gujarati food, that too unlimited. They are placed opposite to JW Marriott, Juhu. This is a decent place for a family to visit or couple who wants to enjoy good homelike food and want to spend a good time. The service was superb and we felt like home because they were like "are thoda aur lelo" and all.

The restaurant is managed by Tarakesh with other supporting staff, especially the two head chefs who play an amazing role to get the food rolling continuously - Chef Mohan Singh and Chef Sher Singh. I am absolutely delighted by the food here and would love to visit again. They also have a Party hall with a capacity for 24. This is more of a private place where you can enjoy a nice kitty party or a get together. It operates at the same time as the restaurant..

Food

Let's get to the Thali now - This is an unlimited thali which will cost you Rs.499 for adults and Rs.249 for kids. This is more of a Gujarati thali than anything else. The menu changes every day so there is nothing fixed as such but the silhouette remains the same. You get a welcome drink in the form of Butter milk/Chaas, 3 starters out of which Dal Dhokli is fixed, 4 vegetables, 2 Indian breads (Roti and similar ones), Khichdi and one other type of rice, Kadhi and 2 other types of Dal and 2 types of dessert.

All this along with papad, pickles and some other sides. So, it was a wholesome Thali experience. Let's see them one by one. Chass is nice and sober - they provide extra masala too if you want to make it a masala chaas. Dal dhokli is one of my favorites as a Gujarati food lover. It is a mixture of Dal and roti which becomes soggy and it is on a sweeter side. Barsa Dola was our favorite here. Ameri Khaman was crispy too.

In Sabzis we had Sarso da saag which tasted amazing with the Makai roti with etxra ghee. I am not a fan of Hing Jeera Aloo hence I found it okayish but that tasted well with poori (Like Poori Bhaji). Chawli Muthiya is another sweet dish which I liked. It has small muthiya balls and Green chawli in green gravy. Papad Methi is just like having papad sabzi which I did not like that much because it tastes a bit like soggy papad.

Chapati and Pooris were served along with Makai ki roti so we got three breads. Chapati I had with Papad methi and Chawli Muthiya. Steamed rice was served with a Gujarati sweet dal and Triveni dal. It tasted good with both. Khichdi along with extra ghee and Kadhi is a super amazing combo. I agree with their thought of keeping it as a fixed dish. I crave for such sweet Kadhi.

Desserts

In desserts we loved both the items thoroughly - The cold served fruit salad and Mini Jalebis. The fruit salad is cold and the fruits are of just the perfect texture - not to hard and not to soft. Fruit Salad was not to sweet which is good. Mini Jalebis were the best - They were crispy, not so sweet and fried to perfection. I love such Jalebis. I think I am starting to like Jalebis more now.

Dahi wada could have been better. They also concluded by serving sweet Paan which I had. I am not a fan of Paan in general but I like when it is served like this in a restaurant so I have it otherwise I tend not to have it. A place to be enjoyed by a family, a couple, some good old friends, etc. with satisfactory ambiance and prompt service.

If u are craving for authentic Indian food then the class thali is one place u can give a try.. This place is right opposite to jw Marriott juhu.. This place has two seating area n seatings are very comfortable n ambiance looks cool.. They have one 26 seating area which one can book for family or friends gathering n maintain privacy.. This place is an absolute delight for serving scrumptious vegetarian Gujarati, Rajasthani n Punjabi cuisines.. There are some 17 types of dishes that are served in unlimited thali out here.. They only serve thali out here but they do home deliver few dishes like poori bhaji, dal rice n khichdi kadhi at very reasonable rates .. They do also deliver aloo sabzi, paneer sabzi n Gujarati sabzi with 5 chapati n one can use swiggy, zomato or uber eats to order food from here.. The menu of thali we had changes on daily basis.. Tradition is what u see on ur plate .. We started here with masala cracker n burfi dhokla in starters.. Masala cracker was like sesame toast n was superb, nicely crisp n absolutely delicious.. Burfi dhokla lacked flavor n i personally did not like it.. In breads there was phulka roti (chapati) which was absolutely like home made n bajra roti which was simply too good.. The combo of Bajra roti, with desi ghee on top, n baingan bharta was insanely scrumptious.. Lasoon chutney n jaggery just enhanced its flavor more.. Really loved it.. Chapati went well with Aloo rasawala sabzi was very nicely made up having perfect spices.. Also chapati was enjoyable with khatta mitha chaman which basically is paneer gravy sabzi having succulent pieces of fresh paneer in it.. Gravy is more like makhani n its sweet.. It was very nice n i even tried jain variant of same n it was good too.. Gujarati dal was very authentic in taste n urad dal was absolutely yummy, very well made n perfectly spiced up... Dal dhokli was not upto mark n i personally did not like it.. Steamed rice was very good n was absolutely like home made.. Khichdi was so well made n authentic in taste.. For once i felt i was having food at my home, mind u i am Gujarati myself .. They had fruit salad n gulab jamun in desserts n it will surely satiate ur sweet tooth.. Fruit salad had beautiful blend of delicious fruit n was incredibly refreshing.. Gulab jamun was not that soft in texture as i would have liked but it was superb taste wise.. Chaas served was very good n not at all sour.. Overall meal was very satisfying.. A simple holistic food that soothes ur soul.. The service was bit let down.. Servers were very well behaved n courteous but it was tough to get their attention.. Rate wise its perfect n full paisa vasool considering quality of ingredients used in preparation of food .. Obviously one can visit this place for homely food n authentic flavors... Give it a try, I'm sure ur taste buds will...
