Tucked in a bylane, near Vile Parle (East) railway station is Mohan & Sons, a nondescript farsan shop that has been catering to the area's snack lovers for over three decades. It was started in 1976 by Kerala-born Mohan Vasudevan Nair, who moved to Gujarat where he worked at farsan shops before settling down in Mumbai; here, he began his own farsan shop. Soon, he learnt that the suburb was dominated by Gujaratis and began selling snacks that were popular in Gujarat.
