There’s something deeply satisfying about sitting down for an authentic Maharashtrian thali; the kind that gets brought to your table with an almost ceremonial abundance. Shining vatis brimming with amti and bhaji, a dollop of koshimbir on the side, piping hot bhakri, some fritters, and the sharp tang of sol kadhi that breaks through the rich flavours. And of course, a generous serving of fragrant ghee over a mountain of rice feels like you’re dining at your ajji’s home. If you’re curious about what Mumbai has to offer in terms of the taste of the coast, here’s a roundup of some of the Maharashtrian thali spots offering a supreme feast.
