Durga Restaurant and Bar

The food here is amazing! I had to update my review because I keep going back to this place often and each time I am amazed at the consistency in their quality and taste! While you have to absolutely go there for their biryanis (I get the paneer one) but their starters are not to be missed either!

As a vegetarian, I have found the best paneer biryani at Durga. The taste and quality of food is amazing at a reasonable price. Have heard the non veg stuff is even better. Must try place.

This place is awesome. Went there after work with a few colleagues of mine. We had a great time. Awesome food and drinks. Great vibe. Have gone there thrice after. Will continue to do so.

Durga has a wide range of exclusive dishes. The paneer/chicken Israeli and Bullet I personally believe are the signature dishes and a must have. The Chicken Handi Biryani is definitely not to be missed as well. The owner and staff are very friendly and will take it upon themselves to make you have their best dishes always. To add to it, the portion sizes are quite enormous.

Delicious food. Good ambiance. People can enjoy the place. Food quality is awesome. I have eaten chicken & chicken biryani experience is mouth watering yet. Service also good.

I’ve been going here since almost 10 years now and every thing is still the same.
The food the people, its truly amazing !!!!
DO NOT miss the Tawa biryani and Israeli chicken.
Kudos to Anish and team❤

Undoubtedly, Paneer Handi Biryani served here is the best. Even non- vegetarians will fall in love with the rich flavors of the Paneer Handi Biryani. Absolute favorite!

In a locale distinguished for vegetarian South Indian eateries, we stumbled upon a compact restaurant and bar, Durga Lunch Home, not far from Matunga Central station. As opposed to expectations it wasn't dimly lit, with fairly luminous lighting over every table. Being the 50th anniversary of the outlet, they had a couple of goodies, reduced prices on drinks and 5% off on the food bill if you upload a post on Instagram or check-in on Facebook. I opted for the former to avail the food discount. After browsing the vast menu, we opened our innings with a couple of whiskeys, and Prawns in Red Sauce. The seafood was an absolute pleasure, I rank it amongst the best prawns preparations I've ever had. The succulent prawns, the spicy sauce and the grated cheese all made for one heck of a starter. Up next was Chicken Israel, in white sauce. It was on the sweeter side, so may not be for everyone's palate, but I loved it, something of a discovery for me, sweetened meat in white sauce. The capsicum and peppers which garnished the dish were particularly well cooked, as well as juicy. This was followed by Chicken Teriyaki, one of the tried and tested chicken variants, and it was up to the mark. While the quantity was not as much as expected, taste-wise it was flawless, the viscous dark sauce working its magic on the meat. Our final order was Chicken Bullet, a spicy, flaming serving, with a sauce I felt to be very similar to the one used for the prawns. It turned out to be yet another winner, and I was more than happy to lap up beyond my share as my friend was feeling too full to intake anymore. To sum up then, Durga Lunch Home is a hidden gem in, what is a treasure trove, Matunga Central. The fact that it's existed for 50 years in an area I've frequented all my life and yet I've never even known of it shows how underappreciated it is. It's not exactly inexpensive in my opinion, but you do get a very loud bang for your buck, be it food or drinks. The service is quick and helpful, if at times a touch overenthusiastic. The waiters occasionally stand right next to the table, I hope they are better trained in the future to give the customers their privacy. Also, if some desserts are added to the menu, then this restaurant becomes a one-stop-shop for a full-fledged meal. I'm bound to be back soon, to try out the other delicacies on the expansive menu.

Party spot number one, since our days in ruia college. Anytime we are in Matunga, best vibe. Very difficult to get a table thats the only downside.

Best food, service and atmosphere for the price. Chicken Tawa curry, Tawa Biryani highly recommended

My all time favourite restaurant serving absolutely delicious food. Food quality and taste is up to the mark. Their chicken banjara with pink raita and green chutney, chicken kheema tawa biryani, boiled corns snacks, prawns koliwada.. everything is absolute delight. Must visit place to food lovers.

Delicious food made with extremely good quality ingredients. Durga is always a delight!

Chicken tawa biryani is best biryanii i have ever had.

All the dishes at Durga restaurant taste delicious. The staff there takes good care to ensure that the food is not overtly oily, salty, spicy. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants to enjoy a great meal!

Cheese Garlic naan with Schezwan is the best combo here. Also one must try Paneer Tawa Biryani.

👌Imperial food quality & service.
