I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t love chaat.. be Bombaiya chaat or Delhi ki chaat.
Staying in gulf for so long one thing I dearly miss is food, born and brought in Mumbai we were exposed to awesome food culture.. from fine dining to street side chaat and sandwich wala.
My eating out journey started only after i started my college, till then i was feed what by mom.. ghar ka khana, not that i did not relished it.. how i wish now that i can eat mom k haath khana, but during college days i was new freedom and so eager to try new things..
Most i enjoyed was eating at khau galli, located at Churchgate station which was very close to my college. That lane is filled all sorts of food stalls.. pav bhaji, sandwiches, chaat, puri bhaji and list goes on and on.
