Description

This all-vegetarian sweets and snacks shop whips up an excellent papri chaat (a sweet-sour-crunchy Indian snack) and offers various crispy pakoras and vegetable curries. There's also chivda (think Indian chex mix) and many kinds of homemade sweets--try the milk burfi and the kesar peda. Don't miss the dhokla, a fluffy, savory chickpea cake from Gujarat, flavored with turmeric, mustard seeds, cilantro, and green chiles. It's homemade by a very sweet older Gujarati woman. She also makes the khandvi, another Gujarati snack, which is basically a tender chickpea flour pasta, served rolled into spirals and sprinkled with mustard and sesame seeds.
