The Tanjore Tiffin Room, bandra

Visited Tanjore Tiffin recently, and unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the hype. While the cocktails were a highlight - Thalaiva and Chellama were particularly impressive - the mains and starters were just average. One unique aspect was the array of curry bases presented before ordering, allowing you to customize your dish. The mutton dishes were well-cooked, but other items like idiyappam and biryani were just okay. Overall, it's a one-time try place, but not necessarily worth revisiting. Maybe others will have a different experience, but for me, it was a bit of a letdown.

This is a very unique South Indian restaurant. The best part of this place is that they will give you mini samplers of their main dishes to try and choose the one that you like. They will give you recommendations of which vegetable or meat will pair up best with the gravies. Would definitely visit this place again.

"Never judge a book by its cover" that came true for the Tanjore tiffin room, khar west branch. From the outside it looked like any other restaurant, but the ambience inside is a truly lovely one. Though it was fully crowded for a Sunday noon, the staff took care of it in ease. I recommend reserving a table in advance especially for weekends. Finally, the most satisfying and scrumptious South Indian dishes with plenty of options. Their sample platter and the dedicated staff help to choose the right cuisine to try. Though felt biryani can be little better, the rest of the dishes were all bang-on. The go-to place for any South Indian cuisine lover.

I decided to try out the place after a lot of hype from my friend circle and I must say it's good. The curries are decent and they let you taste every curry before opting for your meal. It's a bit heavily priced considering the type of food they serve, but then it's located in Carter Road, so who am I kidding. Service is excellent with the staff more than willing to help but the person at the entry desk seemed a bit arrogant. Interiors are good. All in all, it's worth a shot, but didn't live up to the hype it has around its name.

Hmmm…… the place had a very nice vibe and feel to it, was a packed lunch time when I visited. The appetizers were kinda on the ok side, but the mains kinda left me dejected, well the mutton ghee roast did not even have an aroma of ghee (with this I rest my case) ….. left disappointed, so much for the hype

We had a truly beautiful dining experience! We pre-booked a table, which was a good call since it's usually packed. From the moment we walked in, the authentic ambiance and aromatic scents set the tone for a fantastic meal. The tasting platter was a highlight, with the staff expertly guiding us through the flavors and pairing suggestions. The Jackfruit cutlet with tangy chutney was a great starter, and the Mutton Railway Madras curry with Malabar Parotta was a standout dish - the flavors were rich and the mutton was juicy and perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed two cocktails, with the Thalaiva (rum-based) being a particular favorite. Highly recommend! Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere all came together to create a wonderful experience. Can't wait to come back!

As the other reviews state the curry sampler is amazing, especially as a foreigner who isn't well-versed in Indian cuisine. The server watched my reaction to each gravy then gave his recommendations for my meal order. Ended up ordering: Madras Railway Curry + Malabar Parotta It was delicious! Spicier than I normally would have ordered (Indian Medium) but it was so tasty and the flavors were amazing. Would definitely revisit!

This is an absolute must try in Mumbai!! They have a very new concept which has been my idea for 8-10 years now!! They give you a taste sampler of all their main course items with someone describing the preparation and what it goes well with in terms of rice or breads. Indian food is very complex and there is a lot of variety so one doesn't know what will be good in the restaurant. And especially south indian food is lesser known to the masses. With 16 items on the menu, usually one ends up ordering the same popular dishes so this concept made us order some unique dishes! We did not like their honey chilli potatoes! Very bad. But loved their mini idlis and jackfruit tikkis.
