Friday Cravings | Multi - Cuisine Veg Restaurant | Thane — Restaurant in Thane

We recently dined here after hearing about their lovely ambience and I must say, the ambience truly is great. Elegant interiors, peaceful lighting, and a generally upscale vibe make it a good spot for a relaxed dinner. That said, the dining experience itself left a lot to be desired.

Food Experience:

We started with the Cream of Almond Broccoli Soup and Veg Seekh Kebab. Both were quite good — well-balanced flavours and a promising start.

For the main course, we went with the server’s recommendation: Veg Bhuna (Kofta Bhaji). The koftas were delicious, but the gravy was on the saltier side. What really took us by surprise, though, was the quantity. Just 4 small koftas with barely 4–5 spoonfuls of gravy — this for a main course dish priced at a premium! Honestly disappointing.

For breads, we had Ghee Phulka, Butter Tandoori Roti, and Butter Kulcha (which interestingly wasn’t listed on the menu). After seeing how little the Veg Bhuna served, we had to order a second main dish. Keeping it safe we ordered Veg Kolhapuri along with another round of breads.

This time, we waited over 20 minutes, and the Kolhapuri was a total letdown. It tasted like a generic mix veg curry — bland, lacking spice, and with very little to no salt. Definitely didn’t live up to the name or price.

Service:

They serve the curry and bread on the same plate, which felt odd for a restaurant of this standard. Usually, gravy and breads are served separately. Also, we had to specifically ask for the onion-lemon plate, which is typically standard when ordering Indian mains.

When the bill arrived, we were told we needed to pay ₹50 extra for a water bottle — something that wasn’t mentioned in the printed bill. While we had no issue paying for it, such charges should be transparent and included in the final amount.

Would I visit again? Probably not for the food. If you’re going, it’s best for the vibe — not for generous portions or...

This was my 2nd visit in a week's time. First was on 27 may 2025 to celebrate Parents wedding anniversary. The place purely veg ,is run by Mr Mayur Thakker and his wife Mrs. Swara Thakker. The place is located in Hiranandani one at Patlipada. The ambience is made thoughtfully with all the four direction states of India depicted on the walls. The furniture is pure teakwood carving. As good is the Ambience even better is the Food quality. Mr. Mayur is a businessman himself with his own family business of manufacturing. But his passion for Cooking compelled him to start this food business venture . He himself involves in the kitchen to make mouth watering delicacies for his customers. The couple greet each and every table personally. The place is just started 2 weeks back. They now at least have a vast menu for getting feedback from customers. Later on they will cut down the menu as per the customer preference and taste. On 27th we had Bharwaa Aalo which was a different take on The dish made to perfection, A subzi and phulka rotis which were just like homemade. We had Pongal which was Rice mixed with green Mo ng dal made in coriander gravy. The mocktail Fruit fusion was fantastic. The ending was with complimentary Pan shots. Today on 31st may 2025 my second visit, I had Dosa platter which had 4 types of dosas made to perfection. I recommend the coconut chutney highly . Today tried other mocktail SUNSET Which too was awesome. All the best to Mayur Bhai and Swara Madam. Highly recommend all vegetarian s to visit this place. You will definitely visit again and...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Friday’s Cravings is a place where authentic food sheds light on the legacy of Indian spices. It truly felt like a space where spices told stories and ambition with light & art set the course. The founders, Mayur Thakkar & Swara were warm and welcoming sharing about their labor of love in building this place with pure innovation and passion.

The interiors and lights reflected the essence of Indian art, architecture, and culture from different parts of the country. Warm lighting and soothing music created a homely yet luxurious vibe, perfect for an evening out.

We had: Full Platter in Tandoori & Chinese starters (Cilantro Paneer, Paneer Pahadi, Spring Roll, etc.) Papad Churi (absolutely delicious!) Pot Rice Peshwari Paneer Green Gujarat Amritsari Kulche Butter Naan & more
