Where to Find Mumbai’s Best South Indian Fix
I’ll be honest, there are days when nothing (and I mean nothing) hits quite like South Indian food. Give me a plate of pillowy idlis swimming in sambar, a perfectly crisp masala dosa with that coconut chutney, and of course a tumbler of strong filter kaapi, and I’m instantly happier. It’s comfort food, soul food, and honestly mood food all rolled into one. And the best part? Mumbai is spoiling us with a mix of new and old restaurants that serve both familiar flavours we grew up with and some playful twists we didn’t see coming.
