Pancham Puriwala: Review: Restraunt in South Mumbai

Had heard a lot about this restraunt - Pancham Puriwala
Location: opposite to VT (CST) station
Best: (Its obvious but...) Puri




My son and me went to Pancham Puriwala. The shop serves fresh hot Puri's made right in front of you with Aloo and Dal/Channa. They also serve Methi puris and Batura's.

The person makes it right in front of you and you only get 2~3 varieties of Subji with it. With its limited menu, hole-in-the-wall kindof rustic ambience, it still serves great food. [incidentally a plate is a small 5 puris and channa/aloo]

They dont serve any soft drinks , but they do serve very nice , thick lassi!

From Chowpatti and VT - Mumbai vacation

Many families came for Brunch on the Sunday we were there. The pic you see above is ALL of the restraunt that has about 5 cramped tables in a open corner shop. So don't expect AC and Ambience! but just great Puri's

Is this Mumbai? A photo walk in "Walk"eshwar - Walkeshwar , Mumbai, Banganga Tank, Part 2

Is this Mumbai?

Every visit to Mumbai reveals a new thing atleast for me. I find Mumbai and London to be 2 cities that have a story in every turn. Here are some pictures which I took, which don't look like the Mumbai we have in mind.

Long back I had seen a collection of photos of South Mumbai that mentioned Banganga Tank, Walkeshwar in the ever busy south Bombay. After 15 years of seeing the coffee table book (from HSBC I think), I finally made it to see it in real life.

Route: VT station (by train), Taxi via Marine Drive to Walkeshwar

Here are some pictures I took,
