On a Sunday when Mumbai’s skies opened up after a dry spell, we set out on a train from Andheri at 7.30 am, and cabbed it from Churchgate to Nariman Point. That’s 28 kilometres in total, but we are not complaining. In fact, the friend accompanying us didn’t require any convincing to get out of her pyjamas  so early on a weekend. 

Swati Snacks’ Nariman Point outlet recently opened its doors for breakfast, with a special menu on offer until 10 am. The concise menu packs in a fair bit of variety. Jalebi papad and fafda (R200) are right up on the roster—it’s every Gujarati’s dream Sunday breakfast. The steward scribbles down that dish’s name even before we have finished saying it...it’s a must-have. We chase that with an oats paneer chilla (Rs 250) and ghee roast dosa with mulga podi (Rs 195).
