Happy Dessert Times until next time......

Khaman lasuun amiri is good. Tea is machine made. Khandavi is good. Mung bhaji finished soon so go early. No parking is there hence go walking but go for sure.

Mr Mehta has been here for last 45 years serving the “best” undhiyo in bombay ( a gujarati savoury dish usually eaten with wheat roti’s or pooris). He has no complains, no big expectations, not a lot of fame and money.. but he is a happy man. He is loyal happy and smiling #mehtauncle#peopleofbombay#mumbai#differentpeople

One of the best place in Mumbai for great gujarati farshan & seasonal undhio. The quality , taste has never been compromised till date since decades.
Has seating & takeaway . A perfect holiday morning breakfast for of all ages.

Very frankly, I have been a customer of 'HKB' since a long time and much to the disagreement of some of my fellow foodie friends who've rated that place, I've never faced any concerns pertaining to the quality and taste of the food! Having said that, let me also add, that this is one such joint, which caters to the public at the ever-so-busy 'CP Tank' junction and serves some really tasty Gujarati quick food and especially one of better versions of the Surti Undhiyu [served with and without Green Garlic] (which is one of the many preparations available at this food joint, that keeps me wanting to back again and again). Yes, there is a lot of oil used in the preparation of the Undhiyu, but that's how the dish is prepared and mainly is consumed during winters, when our body needs the oil! However, if one requests, the oil content in the take aways can be reduced. I still remember visiting this place as a child as well on Sunday mornings and having to wait patiently for my turn to take my parcel of Undhiyu..

Also to add, I had once taken the Surti Undhiyu to my office (which was neatly packed and handed over to me.. More so, I had informed the owner that I will have to travel almost for an hour to reach my office and the owner reassured me saying that his Undhiyu is packed and sent even as far as Kolkata.. Pretty impressive!) and all my colleagues loved it and I was recently asked to get the Undhiyu once again!

Amongst the Surti Undhiyu, this place also serves very delicious Ameri Khaman (also known as 'sev khamani'.. being one of my favorites), Khandvi, Dhoklas, Methi Muthiyas, etc. However, the highlight for me is the yellow papaya chutney (the semi liquid preparation and not the dry one) which is best enjoyed with the paapdi and personally, I enjoy it with Ameri Khaman too! The only complaint being that this chutney is only available in the mornings and is replaced by a spicier red chutney by afternoon / evening!

Plus points: The taste of the food is the major and probably the only driving factor for this joint!

Negative points: For my foodie friends expecting a proper 'restaurant' kind of arrangement, they will be disappointed. This is primarily a place for 'take aways', however there is a small area provided for seating, which is available, just in case some one wishes to sit and enjoy the food there itself (but yes, the owner could try any better maintain, that area as well)

Rating:
Ambiance : 2/5@
Food : 4 / 5
Value for money : 4/5
Service : 3 / 5
Overall experience : 3.7 / 5 (my overall rating of the place is purely based on the food and treating this joint as a pure 'take away' joint!

This place is around 75 yr old. Every person living nearby or around this area knows about it because it is pretty famous for authentic Gujarati and marwari delicacies. The most popular dishes include khandvi, patra, dhokla, undhyu and jalebi fafda. People buy Surti undhyu and jalebi fafda by kilos on Sunday and special ocassions like dusshera, makar sankranti, new year. Methi bajiyas, samosas and all types of bhajiyas are famous here. It also has a side counter for pav bhaji and tawa pulao.

Its a very small place in a very crowded area... so very difficult to sit there and eat.

However, have taken  Surti Undhiya parcel many times and it has always been fantastic.
Also, had amiri khaman, vati dal nu khaman, khandvi, papdi, patti samosa and samosa... all simply superb...!!!

Rating is only for the food quality !!! Really recommend trying the undhiya from here.

This place is located in a very crowded area and is frankly not worth eating there with really old and crowded almost claustrophobic interiors and smell of something frying perennially in the air.

However the place serves truly the best surti undhiya in Mumbai by a long mile. The other stuff like khandvi, bhajiya and all is decent (but then frankly I am not a big fan of bhajiya) but the undhiya is what really stands out.

Ingredients come from Surat by train daily and in season I am told the place sells more than 100 kgs in a day. Have done a takeaway from here many times and love it inspite of the very generous layer of oil decorating it!

Place to sit in is very local type big big fans above ur head walls r old nt properly made but food is tasty staff is less bt good had jain pulav once twice both tyms very good👍✌

Ordered home delivery from Hiralal. The Undiyoo is a delight... Fabulously made. Perfect blend of sweet n spice. Maybe better than some home made ones... Khandvi was amazing too. Thin and perfectly done. Patra was well flavoured but I found it little hard..
The Undiyoo however wasn't as good as the once I had ordered before. Hardly any Papdi and practically no muthiya. Found 2 in 1/2 kg. All said and done a must try for sure. They make it on weekends all round the year. Mr. Gaurang, the proprietor is a wonderful person and ever so helpful.
Few words for the delivery partner Frosfeasts.com. Fabulous people. Mr. Kana is every so helpful with a deep personal touch. Very professional and on time delivery.
