4.BALVANT PAV BHAJI CENTRE

An all exclusive pav bhaji place, Balvant Pav Bhaji Centre serves spicy bhajis with seasoned butter roasted pav cut into cubes. Tucked away in a silent lane near Ramgopalpet police station, this place doesn’t offer much for ambiance although the service is good. It is overcrowded during the weekends and people keep coming back for more. The place is clean and hygienic and the food is a good value for money. This unassuming pav bhaji centre could give the “Pav Bhaji wallahs” in Chowpati-Mumbai a run for their money.
