Roll down the windows: ’90s drive-in dining makes a comeback

Teen mirchi ka jhinga
In a city where every corner feels dug up and the traffic tests your patience daily, nobody asked for it — but the team behind Oleander Farms in Karjat delivered it anyway: a throwback to the ’90s era of late-night drive-in dining.

But there’s no mistaking the charm — music blaring from your car stereo, hot food arriving at your window, and the smug satisfaction of dining in comfort while others waited for a table. Car dining was a privilege—and a vibe. Cut to 2025, Chembur.
