Madras Talkies Powai - Breakfast restaurant in Mumbai - Mumbai Suburban, India

Madras talkies at Powai Vihar is a tiny joint with an open kitchen. About 5-6 people can be seated at a time on stools mostly. Makes sense to order in, esp on weekends. I thought all their food was super fresh and fabulous. The thatte idli, Upma podi, podi dosa, filter coffee and ghee podi idli stood out for me. Pricing as per powai standards is reasonable. Hygiene is maintained and the kitchen is visible to all. I don't see any need to go to Matunga for this South Indian food anymore :)

Had an amazing experience at Madras talkies Powai. The food was very authentic and the taste was superb, specially the coconut chutney was delicious. We tried the Chettinad Dosa, Mysore Masala Dosa and Rava Mysore Masala Dosa. The pricing was also average. Overall a great experience

Located inside Powai Vihar complex at the junction. Wide variety of idlis, dosas, vadas, upma and rice dishes. Till now I've tried the podi dosa, butter podi idli, thatte idli, upma and filter coffee. All tasty dishes. The fusion dishes are not recommended as the taste may not be liked by everyone. At times, the place is super crowded. At other times you may be able to dine in. I recommend dine in - direct from pan to plate. Overall it's a good joint worth trying if you like wholesome South Indian snack dishes.

A good decent south Indian food was the need of Powai and Madras Talkies delivered it with authentic taste and some fusion variety too. The best part is their decent pricing for some high quality food!

Best place for authentic South Indian food in Powai. Our go to place for breakfast now. Idlis here are always soft and delicious, dosas and filter coffee as well. Space inside is a little cramped if you visit at a rush hour but for me it just made my experience even better.

Unpopular opinion, the food here is extremely unhealthy. It's full of oil, or ghee as they call. Your need tissues to soak the oil, and still you can't take it out. It's worse than eating two plates of fried poori. If you don't care about health, the food is good.

So there wasn't any proper south indian food joint in Powai...so this aptly serves the problem statement for everyone looking for South Indian breakfast in Powai especially someone living as a pg....but what brings me here everyday is the CHAI....hands down the best chai you will have not just in Powai but also in Mumbai...wherever you go you are always served the artificial premix chai ...but here the person actually makes the actual chaipatti chini adrak wali as per your customisation for just 20Rs...and now they also give you kulhad chai for Rs25.....If you are a chay-adrak combo lover....this will be your goto place for sure...

Had been meaning to go to this place ever since it opened.. Finally got a chance to pop in for a quick breakfast. I always knew I was going to order the thatte idli. And it sure as hell didn't disappoint. Fluffy, coated with butter and podi, it truly was a great idli. Coconut chutney was fine too. Sambar was quite watery. Not sure if that's supposed to be authentic or something but I didn't enjoy it. Ordered the pineapple sheera too. Wasn't as good as Ram Ashray but it still pretty great. And quite a sizable portion is served too. Hoping to make this my regular idli place.
