Tucked inside the heritage Jamnadas Mansion on Matunga’s bustling bazar lane, Ram Ashraya has been the neighbourhood’s 4.4-star breakfast temple since 1944: crisp-edged rava dosas arrive with a side of freshly-churned white butter, the filter coffee is poured from arm’s height to create its signature froth, and the no-frills, stainless-steel ambience makes the flavours—not the décor—the star.
