Menu
Seventeen things. Everything made after you order. Prices include everything; there is nothing to add at the counter.
Hot in two minutes, cold in one.
Just tea. Lemon if you ask.
Plain black tea, hot, no milk. Ask for lemon or extra sugar. The cheapest thing on the board and the one the 7 am regulars order.
Half a glass, strong and sweet.
Milk tea the Bombay way: half a glass, boiled hard, sweet. Made to be finished in four sips, standing. Two minutes from order to hand.
Milk tea with ginger, cardamom, black pepper.
Full glass of milk tea with our masala: ginger, cardamom, black pepper, a little clove. For cold mornings, rain, and the 5 pm slump.
Cold buttermilk, mint, salt, cumin.
Thin, cold, salty buttermilk with fresh mint and roasted cumin. Not sweet at all. The drink for people who find juice too much, and for anyone after chatpate.
Thick curd, ripe banana, a little sugar.
Thick curd blended with ripe banana and a spoon of sugar. Fills you up more than you expect. Counts as lunch on a busy day.
The 4 pm section. Say how spicy.
Eight puri, filled one at a time. Say how spicy.
Eight crisp puri filled when you order: spiced potato and chickpea inside, cold tangy pani poured over, sweet chutney if you want it. You pick the spice, from mild to the one that makes you order a Mint Mohi. Three minutes.
Puffed rice, chickpeas, potato, onion, lime, our masala. Mixed in front of you.
The school-gate chatpate, mixed in front of you: puffed rice, boiled chickpeas, potato, onion, tomato, coriander, lime and our masala. Tito or piro, you decide. Eat it before it goes soft, that is the rule.
Warm wrap, lots of greens, green herb sauce. Paneer or chicken.
A warm wrap full of greens, cucumber, cabbage and a green herb and curd sauce. Veg comes with paneer, non-veg with grilled chicken. This is the lunch on the board: five minutes, eaten with one hand.
Dates, oats, nuts, seeds. Rolled by hand.
Two balls of dates, oats, peanuts and seeds, rolled by hand in the shop. Not a health food, a snack that fits in a pocket. Two is a snack. Four is lunch you will regret.
This week's fruit, cut when you order, thick curd.
Whatever fruit is good this week (banana, apple, papaya, pomegranate when it is around), cut when you order, over thick curd. Honey on top if you ask. The one parents order for kids and then finish themselves.
Five cups, one colour each, all Rs 149.
Spinach, cucumber, green apple, lime, ginger.
The green one. Mostly cucumber and green apple, so it drinks easy, with spinach for the colour and ginger at the end. Not sweet. Cold-pressed after you order, over ice if you like.
Pineapple, orange, turmeric, ginger.
The sweet one. Pineapple and orange do the work, fresh turmeric gives the colour, ginger wakes it up. If you are new to our juices, start here.
Beetroot, carrot, apple, lemon.
The red one. Earthy from beetroot, sweet from carrot and apple, lemon to keep it sharp. Stains everything. Worth it.
Apple, celery, lemon, a lot of mint.
The light one. Apple and celery with lemon and a lot of mint. Tastes like a cold morning. The one people order after a heavy night, and we let them.
Pomegranate, orange, carrot, lime.
The pink one. Pomegranate and orange on top, carrot underneath, a squeeze of lime. The prettiest cup we make and the one that gets photographed most.
Ask for the machine to be switched on.
Sugar, spun into a cloud.
Sugar, spun into a cloud on a stick, in front of you. Pink or blue, sometimes green. For kids, and for adults who have stopped pretending. Give the machine three minutes to warm up.
From the freezer by the window.
Ice cream on a stick from the freezer by the window. Two or three flavours, whatever we could get. The 8 pm order.
Nothing here under that filter. Try "All".
Nuts in the energy balls, dairy in the lassi, mohi, curd and paneer, wheat in the wrap and the puri. Ask at the counter and we will tell you exactly what went in.
Ten cups or more, ready at a time you pick, carried over in a tray. Message us the day before on WhatsApp.
