CAFE MADRAS!
      In the heart of Mumbai is a small joint for avid South Indian food lovers.  An old cafe, with a quick service and warm ambience. We ordered pessemette (moong dal dosa), tappa (urad dal dosa), mysore masala dosa with white butter, bessebete (khichdi with ghee), dahi rice, misal, pineapple sheera, filter coffee!
The names themselves are enough to arouse curiosity, and smackingness. The menu is concise, moderately priced, and with a special day menu. I never had so many different dosas in fact never had a dosa other than the made out of rice flour, the white butter and onion sabji were new combinations to the dosas. Even though I am a non spicy eater, I felt chutney and sambhar could have been more chatpata. Filter coffee is 'the filter coffee'.  I was suggested to have rawa dosa too and I was advised to visit before 7 p.m for getting sitting space and  food of choice. round he clock occupied by diners.  Thumbs3/5.
