The plain, canteen-style interior of this no-nonsense diner is a welcome contrast to the hectically gaudy exterior. The pure-veg menu is extensive and includes solid thalis plus local specialities such as Mandu malai kofta (dumplings in a mild sauce).
It does lassis too, and also has open-air ‘garden’ seating across the street. Attention though: there have been a number of complaints from people who got sick after eating here.
