A slice of the city that misses the eye
Aadya Amrutulya,Laxmi Road
Aadya Amrutulya, located on the bustling Laxmi Road, is said to be the first tea joint of the city. Started in 1926 at Rameshwar Chowk by DP Nartekar, this humble joint for a hot cuppa was once a favoured hangout zone. A Nartekar, the present proprietor who carries on his family legacy, laments that they have a lot of competition from other big brands as now, youngsters prefer to go to branded shops to drink tea / coffee.

Still he points out that there has been a clientele that has been loyal to them for more than 50 years. The legendary reputation of this joint is understandable. According to Nartekar, people are still drawn to the restaurant by the taste of the tea, which is believed to have not changed at all since their first visit.
