We strolled along the Western Line and found Bandra station to be quite endearing with the spread of options it offers. Bandra Station is a treasure trove for anybody who like spending wisely on food. The more affordable part of Bandra, we’d say.
From Mutton Khichda To Fried Chicken: A Guide To Eating Around Bandra Station On A Budget
Shortcut
Bombay Burgers
This small eatery is sandwiched between xerox shops and the hectic life around the station. Serving affordable burgers, it attracts the college crowd and young executives. We had their Mexican burger {INR 85} and were seen contemplating dinner scenes.
Chunkies
This lies right besides Bombay Burgers and gives an international fried chicken joint a run for its money. Try the chicken wings and the lollipops here.
P.S. The counter is too hot, so it’s best to place your order and stand on the sidewalk.
Anand Dosa Centre
A humble South Indian joint, it serves butter cheese masala dosa {INR 60}, medu wada {INR 25}, Jain uttapam {INR 40} and more. Essentially, the menu is full of butter dishes, so beware if you’re on a diet.
