Bombay Street Food Malvani Katta — Restaurant in Franklin Township

I came across this modest Malvani spot tucked inside a small food court and what a find it was! Although it is a simple and unassuming setup, this place serves!!!

We ordered these dishes and were very happy with the food— Wada pav, which was hands down, the best I have had in the US that came closest to Mumbai street style wada! Perfectly spiced and crisped on the outside with the classic dry red and wet green chutney combo that hit all the right notes for me. My top-rated dish in the whole meal!

Misal Pav— it was authentic, spicy and flavorful. The kind that makes you sweat in a good way!

Bombil fry— it was well-coated and super crispy with subtle hints of masala. Tasted like it came straight from a Konkani kitchen!

Their Jhunka Bhakar was pure comfort food. The jhunka was home-style — earthy, basic, yet full of flavor. It was served with soft bhakris. Loved the pairing!

Pomfret Curry with triphala— this was the showstopper for me! Bursting with flavors, tangy, coconutty gravy with the subtle taste of triphala.. a flavor I did not expect to find here. Took me right back to my Goan mother-in-law’s recipe!

Last but not least, Kokum sarbat which was refreshing and tangy.

This may not be your regular fancy sit-down place. But it is a place that serves flavor over frills. Very soulful, authentic and clearly made with a lot of love.

I highly recommend! It is a must-visit for your Malvani food cravings.

*also, giving extra five stars just for the wada...

The business owner here has magic in her hands! The way we were treated here was soul touching! Food was exactly how my mother used to make back at home. Delicious food, super amazing flavors and very hearty and fulfilling. It has been the best Maharashtrian food I have had out of all the places I’ve tried in and around NJ. Anyone who comes here is guaranteed to have a great experience and come out only with great satisfaction and a smile! I would highly recommend Kombdi Wade and Ghavne here! Must try for anyone craving home made...

We stumbled upon Sanjeevanis restaurant on a random desi galaxy visit and loved her food and hospitality! Since then we have been ordering weekly dishes which are catered to your taste and similar to home cooked meals. The kohlapuri chicken and palak paneer was just outstanding and we ordered a tray of noodles for a party and it was finished in few with guests asking for the contact of the chef!

Overall a great spot for authentic home style food with great flavors at a perfect...
