Samrat Restaurant in Churchgate is a true delight for anyone who appreciates authentic vegetarian Indian cuisine. The place exudes an elegant, old-school charm with a peaceful ambiance, making it ideal for both family get-togethers and formal meetings.
The star attraction is the Gujarati thali — beautifully arranged and generously portioned with farsan, vegetables, dal, kadhi, puris, rotis, rice, and a sweet dish. Every item is fresh, full of flavor, and brings the comfort of home-cooked food. The staff is warm and attentive, always ensuring your plate is full and your experience is pleasant.
Beyond the thali, their Punjabi dishes are just as impressive. We tried the Veg Kolhapuri, Chana Palak, and Chole Bhature — all packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. The garlic naan was soft, perfectly cooked, and complemented the curries beautifully.
The entire restaurant is spotless and very well-maintained. Despite the crowd during peak hours, the service is smooth, quick, and efficient. The staff deserves a special mention for their excellent hospitality — friendly, prompt, and professional.
A special shout-out to Chef Raju More, whose passion for cooking truly reflects in every dish. His culinary skills add that special touch, making each meal feel crafted with love.
Whether you’re a Mumbaikar or just visiting South Mumbai, Samrat Restaurant is a must-visit spot for a hearty, satisfying, and authentic vegetarian dining experience.
