Any list that is about South Indian food in Mumbai has to feature Madras Cafe in it, after all, it is one of the most iconic restaurants in Mumbai. This 75-year-old restaurant serves the most authentic Udupi cuisine in town. Neera Masala Dosa, Pessarattu, and Raagi Dosa are highly recommended there.
