Shivani - Papatoetoe

I won’t recommend this place to Maharani thali and South Indian thali and Mirchi bonda as well, very worst food in the Thali. I have ordered single mirchi bonda, I have informed them to not microwave when I placed the ordered, immediately these guys microwaved in front of me. When food arrived I have checked the inside basin chilli was rotten completely. I hope these mirchi bonda is not freshly prepared. And whatever food comes in the thali those are completely bloody old freezer and microwaved food. Not fresh food. We wasted our many when went yesterday for dinner this is how we left food on the plate.

The cake was absolutely outstanding! It was baked to perfection—moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. The balance of sweetness was just right, and the presentation was beautiful, showing real attention to detail. Truly an excellent cake-baking experience, and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality and taste.

I ordered aloo tikki chaat, it was served with white channe, channe which was not mentioned on the menu. It should be “Aloo tikki channa chaat.“nWe asked the staff to remake it without chickpeas, we only want yogurt and chutneys. But somehow again it was served with channe but less quantity this time. Overall we waited 30 minutes to have a good aloo tikki chaat what we were expecting but it was just wasted.nI also ordered mirchi pakoda, absolutely disgusting it was, soggy with thick layer of batter.
