A Small Room in Southall

The glass display counter packed with trays of samosas, puffs and cutlets

The cafe sits at 37 b King St, a short walk from the middle of Southall. It is a little room, and it fills up, so people share tables and get talking. Come in early for chai and bhaji, or later for something on a plate.

Open early, open late, seven days

The doors open at 6am every day of the week and stay open until 8pm. That covers an early chai before work, a plate at lunch, and snacks on the way home. Same hours on a Sunday as on a Monday.

“Delicious Goan snacks. Very nice Goan moong bhaji with chapatis or Goan sweet buns. Beef patties and egg patties are tasty. You might end up buying more. They serve a variety of Goan snacks along with fish thali for lunch.”
