"You can’t go wrong with anything at Soam. The all-vegetarian spot makes street food and chaat, but we love it for its traditional Gujarati snacks, comforting plates, and seasonal specials like vegetable-loaded undhiyu, and tangy-sweet aamras puri platter. A visit to this homey, briskly run spot, not far from Girgaon Chowpatty beach and across from a large Shiva temple, should feature any combination of these: crunchy palak cheese samosa that feel like spanakopita’s spunkier cousin, healthy-but-not-boring vitamin bhel, slinky panki, and fragrant, spicy Surti chaas. And since there are so many paths to a successful lunch or dinner, the waiters are always at the ready with suggestions, no matter how hectic this place gets. Soam’s devoted regulars waiting on chairs by the entrance will enthusiastically agree." - roshni bajaj sanghvi

This is all the Indian street food you crave while visiting but are afraid to eat, especially as a tourist. So satisfying and flavorful you will not miss the meat. You will also not miss the alcohol with the fabulous array of drinks. It can get crowded after 7:30 and they do not take reservations, so go early, especially on the weekend.

Soam – A Long-Awaited Visit, Totally Worth It! We had been wanting to visit Soam for a long time, and finally, the day arrived! As we stepped in, the ambiance felt warm and inviting, with a traditional yet modern touch. The place was almost full, which was a great sign of its popularity. Refreshing Start To begin, we ordered Lassi, Mango Lassi, and Jal Jeera. The lassi was thick and creamy, while the mango lassi had the perfect balance of sweetness and fruitiness. The Jal Jeera was refreshing, a great way to awaken the taste buds before the meal. Appetizers – A Mix of Hits & Misses One of the highlights of our meal was Khichu – it was soft, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! This was our first time trying it, and we loved it. Next came the Snack Platter, which was a great mix of flavors and textures – totally worth ordering. Main Course – Almost Perfect! We went for Puri and Undhiyo, a classic combination. While the puri was perfect, the Undhiyo was a bit of a letdown. It was bland and didn’t have the rich flavors we were expecting. Plus, it was a green Undhiyo, which was quite different from the usual one. Sweet Ending To wrap up the meal, we ordered Moong Dal Halwa, and it was heavenly! The texture was just right, with the perfect amount of sweetness and richness. Definitely a must-try if you visit Soam. Extra Touches A nice detail was the Chunda, Achar, and Green Chutney placed on every table,

Soam, located near Babulnath Temple in South Mumbai, is a renowned vegetarian restaurant specializing in Gujarati and Rajasthani cuisine. It has this cozy ambiance with traditional touches, enhancing the dining experience. Signature dishes we tried: Panki: A steamed rice-flour batter delicacy spiced with turmeric, green chilies, and cumin, served wrapped in banana leaves. Daal Baati: A classic Rajasthani dish of lentil curry paired with baked wheat rolls, often enriched with ghee and chutney. Sugarcane Juice: A naturally sweet, chilled beverage, with light notes of lemon and ginger, perfect for cooling off in Mumbai's heat. Soam is celebrated for its authentic flavors and cultural essence, making it a popular spot for traditional vegetarian fare. Even something so basic as the sweet mango pickle was truly exceptional. Our server for the day Glen Fernandes was exceptional, and helped us pick some takeaway food as well.

Iam from Bangalore and was here on a local Mumbai Darshan, nice small place , huge waiting time and was told no reservation!!! Awesome menu and great ambiance with nice friendly and fast service!! But found the quantity to be too small as compared to the high prices!!! Surely a must visit if you are around this area

What can I say it was simply lip smacking and fantastic dining experience. Soam has always been on my list to tick. Today I got the opportunity and what an experience. We reached at about 1.30 pm and had to wait for more than 30 to 40 minutes. (It is Sunday and can not blame) The restaurant is opposite Shri Babulnath Temple entrance. We got the seat and the place is indeed decent. Its size restricts the number of visitors. Still the restaurant has a very vivid menu and many Gujrati delicacies were on board. The Farsan Platter, Mutter Puri, Paanki, Mung dal halwa, Walnut Halwa, the Special Winter Menu starter Make Di roti aur sarso da sag. You name it and it is there. A special mention for the Palak Cheese Samosa is required, it was very tasty. Though the restaurant was packed to the capacity and many still in waiting, the service was amazing. The staff was courteous and helped us in understanding the various dishes. You have several options available here and it has to be on the list of any foodie.
