Sabudana Tikki is a popular choice for fasting days in India, thanks to its tapioca base.
Dip your snacks in tamarind or green chutney, and wash them down with a hot Masala Tea from our drinks menu. Add samosas, a plate of chaat or a Kathi Roll to make it a meal. Our Vada Pav turns a vada into a bun for an even heartier bite.
