Sneha is an amazing place for a good Malayalam meal. Cant say how authentic it is, but seems to be the best place for that food in Mumbai. Do try the beef-fry with parotta and the fish thali.

When in Delhi, do stop by at Babboo Da Punjabi Dhaba for lunch. It’s at Naoroji Nagar Market. Its a simple dhaba, with outdoor seating under an old banyan tree (which even has a fan), but unmatched vegetarian food. Order anything. It is one of the best vegetarian foods in Delhi.
