The popular khau galli, which runs from Midland restaurant on Mahim’s LJ Road to Makhdoom Ali Shah dargah, has been dominated for decades by stalls hawking gooey khichda, traditional sherbet, sheera-paratha, khiri and seekh kebabs and piquant chana-batata.

Today, the street has twice the number of stalls, and almost all now sell a baked flatbread, topped with chutney, cabbage, chicken, a sprinkle of processed cheese and dollops of mayonnaise. They call it a pizza.
