For my week-long stay at Palolem, I always found myself going back to this rustic old spot that serves simple home style breakfast at extremely affordable rates. This place has been around for generations and has been a local favourite for all of Patnem and Palolem.

I tasted their entire spread over a week and I have no complaints - Veg Puffs, Banana Bun, Samosa, Pav Curry, Biscuits and Chai everything was on point and delicious.

And no, you're not the first one to ask them to reheat their food or provide you with ketchup, please don't. They're set in their ways and let them be, that's what keeps them unapologetically...
