    Where do I go for the Best Vegetarian Food in Mumbai ?

    Am a Foodiehave tried scores of restaurants,some expensive and some great

    value for money, across the city but have just a few favourite and top choices

    .Wanted to share this with all of you for a long time nowbetter late thannever.many also serve Non Vegetarian Farehowever many people especially

    Gujaratis,Marwadis and South Indians are staunch and fussy Vegetarians and will vist

    only Veg restaurants as even the smell of Non Veg they cannot bear Though Im a

    Vegetarian,Im not one of them

    and these choices are not gleaned from other sourcesthe Proof of the Pudding is

    in the Eating.and so the only source are my very own Taste Buds..I have relished

    the food at these places more than oncewhat stands out common among all is the

    consistency of taste and the freshness of the ingredientsif you like a particular dish

    the first time,you will vist the place again and again and will get the same consistent

    taste

    cost. THAKERS BHOJANALAYin Kalbadevi.Ive had the best hot and piping Moog ki

    can bring it down by to half by ordering just one of each and sharing it
