Affordable Maharashtrian Khanaval/Mess near Matunga Road Stn? (Budget <₹150-200)

I’m looking for a reliable, "daily-driver" Maharashtrian meal spot near Matunga Road Station (West or East).
I love the South Indian food in Matunga, but for my daily lunch/dinner, I’m specifically looking for a Maharashtrian Thali or Mess (Khanaval). I want something that feels like home food—not too greasy or spicy—and won't burn a hole in my pocket.

What I'm looking for:
Budget: Ideally ₹120 – ₹180 per thali.
Cuisine: Proper Maharashtrian (Poli/Bhakri, simple Bhaji, Amti/Varan, Rice).
Vibe: A place where I can eat 4-5 times a week without getting bored or sick. Small, family-run messes are preferred!

I know there are some legendary spots towards Dadar, but are there any hidden gems closer to Matunga Road station? Even a tiffin service that allows walk-ins would work.
Please share your secret spots!
