Tambe Arogya Bhavan is a known restaurant to Mumbaikars, cherished for its authentic Maharashtra food---Missal pav, batata vada, Pohe, Kanda Bhaji etc. For a long time while passing the Dadar Kabootarkhana area i have had a glimpse of it but recently my father-in-law suggested that i get pure ghee from there. So we went one Saturday afternoon in the crowded Dadar market area.
Tambe Arogya Bhavan has been in business since grandfather's age (sorry i did not ask the foundation day), it mostly caters to the lower middle and lower class and connoisseurs of food. Tucked behind an footpath where hawkers don't give space to walk for pedestrians, this unappealing eatery serves hundreds of hungry stomachs everyday. The wooden table and bench type sitting is comfortable and cosy, it readies you to a delightful ride on freshly made food.
After work today i went to this place to have my dinner and it was my first time that i had entered the resto. On the last occasion when i had gone, i was waiting for prachi to get the food parcel. Today as i entered the resto, first thing i saw was a board announcing that this Wednesday it would be open for patrons, yes Tambe is shut every Wednesday's.
I sit on my table and glance through a small menu card which is printed on both sides, one side is dedicated to snacks with the time servings would be done. The flip side is for food, with a TIP---Lunch and Dinner is the best time to have food. They also have menu as per day wise, so one vegetable which they serve on one day wont be another day. This i thing is to add spice and give a change to the daily patrons. So i order potato vegetable and roti, mind you the onion pieces comes with chili chutney and the combination goes well. For sweets i order Gajar ka halwa, it is good but not warm. IN sweets there is also dudhi halwa and piyush and karvas. These are traditional drinks---sweetened curd. Then i call for the bill an it is to my surprise Rs 76. i thought i over eat and here i shell out just over a dollar, for my meal. Pheww i instantly liked Tambe.
PS: A must visit to eat authentic Maharashtra food.
