What diners say
Reviewers are close to unanimous: the misal, the kothimbir vadi and the sukrunde (puran filling fried in a batata vada coat) are the dishes they name, and the Konkani thali is the reason many come back. The warmth of the people running it gets almost as much praise as the food. The one practical caution is size: it is tiny, so expect to share tables or wait at busy times.
