GopalKrishna South Indian Cafe

I visit this place whenever I get chance. It has authentic south Indian food. I love sambhar 'without sugar'. Some unique dishes like 'ullund dhosa' (i may have spelt it wrong), rasam bhath, bissibely bhat etc. are some of the authentic south Indian dishes are must try. And not to forget normal Idly, Dhosa are very good. No parking, except some paid parking in shopping complexes around. Must visit if you want to experience genuine south Indian test.

Tried their thali it was ok in taste

I recently visited Gopal Krishna South Indian Cafe and had a delightful experience. The menu offers a wide variety of traditional vegetarian South Indian dishes such as dosas, idlis, and uttapams. They also serve lunch and dinner, and even have Jain food options available. The coffee they serve is impressively strong and tasty. The staff at the cafe were friendly. Although the ambiance was simple, the place was clean and well-maintained.
Bonus: it's close to Malad station!
Overall, I highly recommend this place.

We went to enjoy south of India’s food. It turned out to be one of the best places I had South Indian food.
We ordered butter dosa, rawa masala dosa, rassam wada and filter coffee. Everything was perfect in its taste.

If you are looking for an authentic South Indian cafe around Malad, then this is the place. Just know that the place is around railway station so most of the time you will have to wait outside for your turn. 15-20 mins waiting in peak hours.

When it comes to Southern Indian food i have very high expectations and constantly look out for uniqueness that is synonymous with almost institutions like existence of some southern food outlets. I read a lot about idli butter pudi at this place and decided to visit, having seen that they also serve filter coffee my resolve to visit this place grew even stronger.

The restaurant is clean and hygienic.

Prices are on the higher side compared to quantity and taste of the food. This alone makes me feel it is not worth a second trip to this place.

I ordered Idli butter pudi and filter coffee. The combination was very interesting. Idlis, although just two, were literally melt in your mouth soft only positive about them.

The coconut chutney was plenty which was a delightful sight but the sambar was served in the most tiniest utensil i have seen in any restuarant. Sambar taste was nothing exceptional but also not bad.

The pudi, red grounded dry powder chutney has some spicy note and aroma but lack any uniqueness while eaten on its own, infact nearly all components of idli butter pudi on their own were okish on taste. But have a bite of pudi covered idli with coconut chutney and then one can feel the uniqueness that makes it favourite of many.

Filter coffee was filter coffee and not kaapi, infuriated by this blunder which show in my ratings. This actually stopped me from trying more dishes.

You can also buy pudi packets and sambar masala.

If you are looking for an authentic south indian food, this is the place to go!
The nariyal chatni tastes like it has come straight from South. It has a really good hygiene standards and it is nearby the mall and the station. This makes it a busy place. The staff behaviour is also really good.
Now for the food:
1. Masala Dosa: It was very yummy and they put the masala very generously in dosa.
2. Tupa dosa: It was just like uttapa without the vegetables. I felt it was decent but masala dosa is way better.
3. Gajar ka halwa: This again was amazing and they put a lot of ghee in it!
4. Filter coffee: I like the coffee and the taste is good
5. Pineapple mosambi juice: This was definitely the highlight of a visit.juice was so refreshing and fresh that we ordered some again after we were done shopping.
