After Independence, Chembur was one of the areas in Mumbai where camps were set up to settle refugees from Pakistan. Sindhi Camp is home to many eateries that were established by the community where traditional snacks have been drawing in crowds for decades.

This weekend, a food trail organised by Wandering Foodie will celebrate these eateries. “The idea was to promote regional Indian food and bring forth the offerings which are already famous or yet hidden, in an authentic way.

Sindhi cuisine is relatively unexplored, and we had a great evening learning about it, so we felt like sharing the experience,” says co-founder, Vinod Sarma. “Our tours are not just about the food. Guests will also learn about the history and culture of the Sindhi community in Mumbai.”

We dropped by these eateries, and ended up stumbling upon a few more gastronomic gems.

Not on the list of the crawl but one of our personal favourites is a small shack located in a narrow lane near Vig. Fondly known as Ladda Ragda Pattice Wala, the eatery can seat up to 10 people. In operation for over 60 years, we found how almost any local on the road will be able to give you directions to this place. Try the Chhole Pattice (R30), and you are bound to return for an encore.
