Canon pav Bhaji stall, D N Road, opp CST

25 years ago Canon Pav Bhaji Stall served the most delicious butterly pav bhajis with cashews and dried grapes mixed in with the sumptuous pav bhaji that was to die for. Oven the the years with labour unrest the stall owners took the co-operative route and reestablished the stall's august credentials after a brief shut-down. But the pav bhajis served were never the same. The taste has changed. The vegetable content appears to be dwindling and the masala is not prepared in the same manner either. Even e onions and tomatoes, potyatoes and other vegtables being used dont feel fresh enough. the standards may have come down quite a lot yet the stall still stands tall and has it's die-hard set of customers who trudge from all over Mumbai to have a taste of the manna they remember so well. it may just be nostalgia or it may be that the pav bhaji served is still amongst the best in Mumbai- and it doesn't matter much if it's own standards have come way down.There's always new customers to cater to-those who havn't had the good fortune to taste the pavbhaji in it's heyday.
