We reached Mumbai Station after a tiring drive and I was so famished that I wanted to order their entire menu.

It’s a cutesy pure vegetarian Indian cafe situated on the main road. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is friendly.

They also have a small hidden garden that offers peaceful seating options. Their menu comprises of popular Indian dishes and curries such as Samosa and Chickpeas Curry.

What truly sets them apart is their South Indian offerings. Their Idlis were soft and spongy and the Masala Dosa was crisp. Both the items were served with Sambhar and three different types of Chutneys.
