Great place to grab a Chapati and hotdog sandwich (with ketchup, mayonnaise, hot sauce, and kraft cheese - Chapati is what they call it here, I think they call it Paratha in India/Pakistan). The Chapati goes wonderfully with their Karak tea. Great value for money btw. Finally, It's a grab and eat in the car kind of place. Nothing fancy.
