If you're craving authentic chaats, dosa, or a perfectly spiced paneer dish, this place is a must-visit.
We ordered catering from @bombaycanteen and the food was authentic Mumbai taste.

Must go place for mouthwatering Wada Pav, Paneer Methi Tikki, Ragda Pattice & much more. Would definitely recommend this place to any foodie lover like me…
Stopped here for a quick bite after my train. Went in because I overheard people were leaving say, “it was a great meal, I’m gonna have to skip dinner”. The lady was very kind and I got my order super quick, a freshly made delicious Vada Pao.

Would visit again.
