My favourite was orange pistachio chai . Never had such a smoky pistachio taste. Loved it.

Must try Tandoori Pocket. What a flavour!!! Every bite will make you fall in love with it.

Very quick service and a wonderful staff . Will definitely come back .

I am glad I finally found time when the truck was open. I didn't know it was there for months. It looked nice at night. I've discovered that it's very different from the food I usually eat.

The best people and best food.

I've been coming here since 2-3 years now, I love the locality, food and service. They are super friendly and accommodating. I can take my dog here that's a plus, and I come here with my dog, grab a bite and enjoy the sunset on the boardwalk.
I recommend their ginger chai, orange pistachio is delicious. For snack vada pav, sabudana vada, and their tandoori pockets are amazing.
