It is often said that food is the quickest route to the heart, and for Prakash Kulkarni, a loyal patron of Pankaj Farsan and Wafer Mart for over 25 years, that sentiment is true. For generations of residents in Vile Parle, the modest snack shop has been synonymous with familiarity and trust.

What began as a small, makeshift outlet in 1968 on Hanuman Road in Vile Parle was founded by Kantilal Dedhia and his wife Dhanvanti Dedhia. From its early days, the shop became a neighbourhood favourite for wholesome snacks such as potato chips, Khaman Dhokla, Gathiya and the traditional Gujarati 
delicacy, Undhiyu.
