Ayyappan Idli
South Indian, Udupi, Vegetarian · ₹ · Matunga East
A Bhaudaji Road counter that has grown into a much larger, self-service room, with the widest range of idli and dosa in Matunga: thatte idli, Mysore masala idli, and a run of cheese-and-schezwan fusion dosas alongside the classics. It opens 7 AM to 11 PM daily, which makes it the late option in an area that mostly shuts by eight.

What diners say
The variety is what people rate, with the thatte idli, podi idli, Mysore masala idli and filter coffee most often singled out, and the prices still considered fair. The move to a bigger self-service format divides opinion: reviewers report crowding, long waits at the counter, an uncomfortable non-airconditioned room and, more than occasionally, curt or argumentative staff.
