Tucked nondescriptly in a bylane behind Our Lady of Egypt Church in Kalina, is one of Mumbai&rsquo;s best haunts for North Eastern fare &mdash; from spicy chicken gravies to pork and escargot, the tiny space has much to offer. Here, the chicken thukpa (Rs 180) has a tangy and hot broth, featuring tender meat and lots of coriander and chillies.
At: Thotrin Cafe, Kalina, Santacruz East. Time: 12 pm to 11 pm Call: 9619067860

For a city that experiences a fleeting winter, monsoon is the best time to enjoy piping hot foods. At this eatery, the chicken thukpa (R170) has a clear broth brimming with veggies, like carrots, broccoli, lettuce and corn. It&rsquo;s refreshing and the perfect remedy to a monsoon-induced flu.
At: Dumpling Khang (Bandra and Santacruz East). Time: 11.30 am to 4 am Call: 9004889289 (Santacruz East)

At this Khar eatery, the chicken thukpa (Rs 170) is light and soothing and gets a pleasant earthiness from lettuce, broccoli and mushroom. There&rsquo;s just a bit of fresh tomato that add a subtle piquancy, which balances the discernible use of vinegar &mdash; something Chindian joints could do well to emulate.
At: Kepchaki Momos, Khar Dan Pada, Khar West. Time: 11.30 am to 3.30 pm; 6.30 pm to 11.30 pm Call: 9594749234

The mixed thukpa (Rs 200) at this hole-in-the-wall in Andheri comprises a nice, piquant broth. The prawns add fun to the texture, as well as a subtle aroma mimicking fish sauce. It&rsquo;s the right degree of spicy and the noodles are supple. The negligible use of lettuce lends a crunch to the delicacy without overpowering its naturally brawny profile.
At: The Darjeeling, B-41, Unit 2, Boolani Estate Owner&rsquo;s Premises, Veera Desai Area. Time: 1 pm to 12 am Call: 8879381274
What the pork&nbsp;<img title="Rating" src="https://images.mid-day.com/images/2019/jul/1-stars.gif" alt="Rating" />

Pork is the best meat for thukpa. At New Sernyaa, a relatively well-known greasy spoon on Oshiwara Link Road, the pork thukpa (Rs 190) features a meaty broth, where the meat lends a palpable brininess. However, the noodles here are overcooked and on the whole, the dish lacks the kind of punch that we expected from an expert eatery.
At: New Sernyaa (Andheri West and Malad West). Time: 11.30 am to 12 am Call:65741005 (Andheri West)
