A tiny, chaotic, and utterly authentic Gujarati vegetarian café where the owner holds court and locals queue for weekend specials.
Ordering Strategy
Visit between 12:30 and 3:30 PM for the daily thali, or go on weekends specifically for the Undhiyu. Treat it as a snack bar ('nashta') and order multiple small plates to share.
What to order
Surti Sev Khamani
The house specialty endorsed by critics—steamed chickpea flour 'cakes' topped with sev and pomegranate.
Surti Undhiyu
A weekend-only mixed vegetable casserole that draws crowds from across London; arrive early as it sells out.
Masala Chai
Frequently cited by regulars as an 'absolute star' and the perfect finish to a spicy meal.
Toast sandwich
Buttered toastie packed with melted cheese, spiced potatoes and onions, layered with coriander-mint chutney

Good to know
It is a daytime-only spot closing around 7:30 PM. Ventilation is poor, so expect your clothes to carry cooking smells. The owner, Raju Bhai, is known for being loud and chaotic.
