Bachelor’s :

 

Charni Road Bachelors is a small yet most famous food stall at Charni road which offers ice-creaams, juices, shakes, sandwiches, pizzas etc. Though Bachelor’s might seem as a deserted place in the afternoons, but thats the calm before the storm, as after 7pm people from offices, students from college and tourists as well flood the place. People park their cars and wait for long time to get their orders ready. The food is no doubt mouth watering with variety of dishes to choose from. The Veg Chilly cheese pizza, Strawberry Cream, Chocolate Shake are the top selling dishes of Bachelor’s. They offer a kind of ice cream which may sound little strange as the flavour and taste combination produce the expression, eh, and that is their Chilly Ice Cream. The chilly ice-cream neither is as sweet as it sounds nor as spicy as it should taste, but the experience is very different as when you put the scoop in your mouth you will taste the sweetness but as soon as it goes down the throat, you feel the fire of the chilly. Don’t be so cautious when you read about it, taste it yourself and you’ll know the difference and the reason why Bachelor’s stands apart from other stalls.

 

Raju Sandwich Stall near HR college and KC college at Churchgate is another most loved street food spot among the students and office goers in the area.

The stall has a menu of different Sandwiches like “Cheese chilly grill sandwich”, “Chilly Cheese Toast”, “Chilly Paneer Toast” and you may even find some never heard before rolls like “Samosa Cheese Roll” , “Pasta Cheese Roll” (their best seller). So why not have a bite as the dishes are also easy on the pockets
