A chain of them but not all of them are good. However this is excellent for its pav bhaji; south indian & veg hot dog. The masala pav (both the current & 1999) are worth a try.

A VFM shetty quarter joint that serves great snacks, with bits of manglorean stuff thrown in. Sukkha mutton, chicken & bombil are good to go with drinks.
