"Maaslli’s barely adorned dining room in central Mumbai focuses on serving traditional Gaud Saraswat Brahmin classics off beaten metal dishes and flatware sometimes lined with banana leaves. For a city exposed to plenty of Malvani, Goan, and Maharashtrian food, the menu at its first proper GSB eatery feels familiar, yet novel. It helps that there’s a set of framed art prints of the cuisine’s foundational ingredients: triphal, turmeric, kokum, coconut, curry leaves, coriander, chillies, and asafoetida. Informed servers arrive with tasting bowls of a few base curries before guiding diners through the seafood-centric menu. Our favorites: crunchy stuffed bombil fry, spiced clam cutlets, surmai Karwari phanna curry, and unarguably the best ghee roast prawns (and mutton) in the city." - roshni bajaj sanghvi

"Maaslli is a great place to try classic dishes of the Gaud Saraswat Brahmin, a Maharashtrian community that really knows their way around fish. Try the mori ghee roast (shark in a hot and sweet roasted masala paste), bangda tirfal curry (mackerel and teppal curry), and some prawn biryani. Ask for the GSB specials on the menu, and check out the kharvas (pudding the consistency of panna cotta made from colostrum) for dessert. Maaslli heralds a wave of change in family-friendly dining in Mumbai, as more restaurateurs focus within the cuisine of a single community rather than serving pan-Indian menus." - Sumedh Natu
