“We recently got catering from Mauli for our Ganesh Puja celebrations and the food was awesome! We ordered Kothambir Wadi, Misal and Masale Bhat, and everything was delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful and had that authentic Maharashtrian taste that is sometimes hard to find. Our guests really enjoyed it and several people asked us where we had ordered the food from. We’ve also been to the restaurant and have tried their Vada Pav and Zhunka Bhakar, Pav Bhaji and they were really good too.

It’s so nice to have a good Maharashtrian restaurant nearby where we can get authentic food and enjoy some of the dishes we grew up eating. Thank you, Mauli, for the great food and for making our celebration even more special. We’ll definitely be ordering again! Highly recommend if you are missing the authentic Maharashtrian food!“

“Had a wonderful dining experience at Thanjai Mess – Authentic South Indian Restaurant. The food was flavorful, fresh, and truly captured the taste of traditional South Indian cuisine.

We tried the Kola Urundai, which was absolutely authentic and delicious. The Mutton Thalappakatti Biryani and Ambur Chicken Biryani were both flavorful and perfectly cooked. The Chicken Lollipop was juicy, saucy, and packed with flavor. We also ordered the Vanjaram (King Fish) Fry, which was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and very tasty.

A special mention to the service from Mr Reddy, which was really good and made the overall experience even more pleasant.

Everything we ordered was delicious, and the authentic flavors really stood out. Definitely a great place for anyone who loves South Indian non-vegetarian food. Highly recommended! 👌🔥“
