Raj Vada Pav

You can find Raj Vada Pav at Hennur Main Road 22. We’ve been standing on this spot for a long time, watching the cars go by on the main road. This isn't a place where you sit down for a three-course meal. It’s a small shop that focuses on one thing: making good vada pav. We start early to get the batter right and fry the vadas so they’re ready for the morning rush. The kitchen is small and it gets pretty hot in there, but we’re used to it. We don't use any fancy marketing words or have a big logo. It’s just a sign on the road and the smell of spices that brings people in. We see all kinds of people here, from laborers to guys in expensive cars who pull over because they’re hungry. We wrap everything in paper and hand it over quickly. It’s honest work and we take a bit of pride in it, even if it’s just a snack. We don't have a website or a mission statement. We just want to make sure the chutney is spicy enough and the bread is soft. If you’re passing through Hennur, stop by number 22 and grab something to eat. We’re usually there until the sun goes down and we run out of supplies for the day. It’s just simple food for people on the move.
