Pancham Puriwala

0.5

Mumbai's most argued-about puri-bhaji, served fast and eaten faster.

A legendary breakfast institution famous for its puri-bhaji, drawing queues of regulars and tourists alike. It's a stand-and-eat or quick-table spot, not a place to settle in.

Colaba Causeway, near Electric House, Colaba, Mumbai 400039

A breakfast legend, not a seat-and-stay spot — in and out in fifteen minutes.
