2. Ram Ashray, Matunga
People in the city love to eat South Indian food for breakfast. One of the best places to visit – which opens at dawn – is Ram Ashray in Matunga.

If you are not from the city, visiting here for breakfast will also give you an interesting glimpse into how many busy Mumbaikars start their day.
