South Indian cooking has a long second home in Matunga, near Kings Circle, where the udupi and Tamil rooms cluster. Cafe Madras has poured Chennai-style filter coffee since 1940 and steams its idli in cotton batter, while A Rama Nayak's Udipi Shri Krishna Boarding has run its unlimited banana-leaf thali since 1942. South of there, Pinki Dixit's Soam in Chowpatty has cooked home-style Gujarati and Maharashtrian food since 2005.
