    Maddus @ opp I.I.T Powai This always and will always be one of my favourite joints for late night/early morning snacks if i am around Powai. Varieties include South Indian snacks like Idli, Vada, Dosa, Dal Vada, Anda Dosa(Egg Dosa) etc and all this go well with the freshly made Coffee (bru instant coffee is what they use). The joint opens at 4am and is on till 10am on weekdays during which you can relish their lovely south indian delicacies mentioned above. Make sure you try out their Anda (egg) dosa and coffee and i bet you won't regret it. Although the place and the way to get there is not easy to locate and is a bit "shabby" but the quality and taste of food you get there is something worth the wait ... Kindly ignore the cutlery in the photos below* as that's not how it is served there....

    Tasty South Indian food and amazing value for money. Atmosphere is not good because it is inside a home. And the lath leading to the restaurant is dirty and smelly.

    Food is good. It starts at 6 am. The place is little small. They need to set up and better location.

  • 5/5 Udit S. 4 years ago on Google
    A very old, popular joint, especially attended by IITians because of its vicinity opposite to IIT campus. Brilliant south Indian food, medu vada, daal vada, onion dosa, onion egg dosa are the items from menu along with Tea and Coffee. The joint is open from 5 in the morning. A must visit place. You might find the small streat approaching to the mess is a bit tacky but the place is worth having food there. Don't expect a big sitting space and an established restaurant, it's just a joint aa they have a seating capacity of 10 max. Pocket friendly, good taste, hygienic.

    1. Located in a narrow chawl type setting. So if you want 'ambience' then this place is not for you. 2. Place is small but feels like home, because you get to see a Grandmother cooking herself and serving you. You just can't put a price on that feeling. 3. Food was good. Vada was a bit oily, Onion dosa was good, and coffee was nice.

  • 4/5 Ajinkya D. 6 years ago on Google
    This place is tailor made for someone wanting good South Indian breakfast to satiate hunger after an all nighter. Located in a small lane and very difficult to find unless you go there with a frequenter. The food is great though and makes you forget all the hassles of finding the place and eating in a dingy area. The sambhar and chutney can do better but the Dosa, idly and vada are done to near perfection.

    It is a life saver and it serves food from 4 am in the morning till only around 9 am in the morning and the food is quite tasty but to get here you have to go through narrow lanes, sneaky houses and leaking walls. It is located very near to IIT Bombay.

  • 5/5 Prashant V. 4 years ago on Google
    At first you will get a shabby place vibes while entering into the gullys but once you the see the crowd there at 5 in the morning you will know what it is and how's the taste. Medu Wada is a must try

  • 4/5 shabbir h. 2 years ago on Google
    Was a regular there in my mumbai days, lip smacking breakfast available 5:00 AM, Though everything in the menu were worth a try but Anda Dosa & Dal wada were too good to miss, looking forward to this place on my next Mumbai visit.

  • 5/5 Sudeepta N. 2 years ago on Google
    Best dosa and vada I have ever had

  • 1/5 Ali Akbar C. 1 year ago on Google
    I use to have breakfast early Morning hours. The place was good in taste earlier, my recent visit really disappointed me. No taste or quality like earlier.

  • 4/5 Niranjan C. 6 years ago on Google
    Famous for really good anda dosa. You can have varieties of dosa's and other south Indian dishes like idli, medu vada and dal vada. Just lacks a good sitting area where we can enjoy the food. But people who wake up and walk or drive at 4:30 in the morning just to have a anda dosa don't mind it much.

  • 3/5 myron m. 5 years ago on Google
    Had heard some good reviews about this place hence visited. Famous for their Anda dosa, hence opted for one with the onion add on, charged at 50 bucks for a double egg onion and at 40 for a single egg onion dosa, served with spicy coconut chutney and sambar. Single egg onion dosa was a good fill. Some may find items a bit pricy for the setting it is in, however aunty seems to use full aata for wada and dosa preparations. Do not visit if Ur an ambience buff, since this place is located 20-30 mts. Inside a chawl area, with poultry shops smell to welcome and say goodbye to you, on entering this lane.

  • 5/5 Er. Amit p. 1 year ago on Google
    Support local vendors - South Indian lady care like family member. Sambar best in Mumbai, vegetables mixed grinder inside Sambar. My plate cost 50rs. Test and price best. 2 idilis 1 vada 1 dal vada. Cooked inside house in chawl. Hygiene and hospitality best. Must visit and support. Good food for daily.

  • 4/5 Malhar P. 11 months ago on Google
    Really good south indian snacks. Owner is a very nice person. Good taste; affordable rates. Location is bit tricky. Overall worth the try.

  • 5/5 Pradhap M. 1 year ago on Google
    Only South Indian Hotel is very near to IIT Bombay. It is very near to IIT Market gate. Here Dosa, Idli, Vada, all South Indian foods are available with a taste of South Indian home. Every one should try once here. Handling also very nice.

  • 3/5 Travel B. 3 months ago on Google New
    Location: a hidden gem literally. This place is located in a small lane almost invisible between a chicken and a jwellers show. A small billboard will guide you. Once you enter the gully the doubt may creep into your mind.. am I at the right place? But a small print out with arrow direction will guide you I went to this place on a weekday around 9:30 am. Surprisingly I was the only one placing the order. It may be more crowded in the early morning hour's. A simple menucard will guide you on the available menu. I went for a double anda onion dosa. They offer a small place where you can dine in. Tase: the dosa was good. The chutney could have been better. Ambience: Read only if you care about it. As I mentioned earlier it's a hidden place inside a gully. The gully is congested and not a very hygienic by the looks of it. There was a smell of chicken shop. If you can't take it then avoid.

  • 5/5 Deepa S. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome taste & worth for money and specially many varieties of dishes are available. If you ever visit that place, you should definitely try fried idli and maidu vada.

  • 5/5 Ankit M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Rakesh M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Abin J. 5 years ago on Google
    Tasty home made food, available very early in the morning.As a first timer it is very difficult to identify the place. I could able to locate this place on my third attempt. The entrance from the sub road is very narrow and may miss. Ask any locals around for locating it easily. Coming to the food, it was totally worth all those attempts. The tea was not that great, but better.
