Bapu Ki Kutia

Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh


Papa’s Shack has been serving up delicious Indian vegetarian dishes since 1964. Prepare to get cosy with the locals – it’s so popular you’ll often share a table. There’s an English menu, but no English sign. Look for the picture of a beach hut and palm tree above the door.
