Swamy - South Indian Food Express — Restaurant in Thane

The well know south Indian eatery of Thane has now opened a restaurant style eatery at Hiranandani Estate. This one adjoins several other restaurants and unlike it's branch at Vasant Vihar offers seats at tables. Platforms on side are for eating while standing. The menu is the same as at other branches and also it is a self service restaurant.

They serve all south Indian snacks and light meals. They do not serve tea. Prices are reasonable and one can have a meal for under one hundred rupees.
