Lovely starters which remain more or less constant ( so one is not unpleasantly surprised when a favourite dish goes missing on a day-to-day basis as it does in some other thali restaurants!) and the serving culture is subtly encouraging and hospitable( which is thankfully different from the almost agressive hospitality in many other thali restaurants). The waiters are a... More

I remember visiting this place as a kid and getting wowed by the variety, taste and speed with which the food was served when you opt for the thali. Add to the fact that you can have as much as you want of what you like, and it was a pretty good deal! I have gone back here for an... More

My boyfriend and I had returned to Mumbai for our flight home after a 5 month journey around India and SE Asia. We tried lots of thalis in India as we travelled through the South of the country, however the Samrat thali was the best we tried. Although quite a bit more expensive than your average thali elsewhere, it's definitely... More

It's a fact that Samrat has been consistently offering great food and service , the menu is very impressive and every item tasteful, their Thali is grand while the Punjabi food is rich and snacks fresh and tasty, I would further state that none restaurant in Mumbai makes Reshmi Parantha's like they serve in Samrat, simply the finest Samart is...

If you want a fine and beautifully cooked vegetarian meal by people who understand vegeterian cuisine - come to SAMRAT in Mumbai. We were English visitors, recommended by our Indian sponsor. We ordered the Thali. Just wonderful. We were talked through it by a friendly waiter. Great experience - not posh - but very Indian. We understand that SAMRAT is... More

Been to Samrat a few times. Come hungry and come at lunch time. The thali is a must. You will eat food and vegetables that you have never eaten in your life...unless you are a gujarati of course. Absolutely delicious and they keep topping you up even if you say No. The dhal chawal is the best. Hard to find... More

This place is worth trying only if you want to experience it. This place serves one of the best Indian Thali (Plates) with a variety of things. Over rated and not value for money. Most of the things that they will serve, you will not be able to have it. Whats the point. More

The thalis are visibly of very good quality (& quantity), so we trust the opinion of other people that this is the place to try one. However, we wouldn't say they are a taste sensation. Maybe Gujarati thalis are just not our thing. The service is very friendly. From a Western perspective could be considered culturally interesting. It's old fashioned... More
