Sekela (pictured) was great! Got the lemon one, was slightly too lemon-y but still very tasty! We also got the spicy one which was equally good. Mandazi was nice, went great with chai. The Zanzibari mix (pictured) was a bit of a let down as the ‘soup’ was a little too thin than it’s supposed to be. Felt the bhajias were too tiny as well. Otherwise, great place, clean, and good ambience.

This is an underrated gem located in Malad West. The food is amazing. We went for lunch, you get more options in the evening. Chicken fry with chips was super yummy and the sauce used was the star of the dish. Also, the hosts were super friendly, they recommended and explained about all the dishes. Highly recommended.
