For most residents of Vile Parle East, Rama Krishna (RK) isn't just a popular landmark but also a cauldron of memories. Holding fort near the railway station for close to 50 years and serving south and north Indian cuisines, the vegetarian restaurant has seen families, friends and strangers bond over filter coffee, masala dosas and paneer kadhai.

The pocket-friendly menu offers Sri Lankan street eats such as hoppers (aka appams) and kottu roti along with Mangalorean buns, mulga idlis (short for milagai podi) and bisibele rice from south India.
