Where: Panvel, where the Mumbai Goa highway splits from NH4

Price: Rs.15-20 per plate
If you head out of Mumbai on the NH4, you are very likely going to need a snack by the time you get past all the city traffic! Shree Datta Guru Snacks fills the need perfectly. It comes up on the right hand side of the road just before the Goa road branches off.
There's a whole host of newcomers around, but Shree Datta Guru is the real deal (It's been in service since even before the expressway to Pune came into service). The place is frequented by a fair number of people and the menu runs out before it leaves the piping hot / fresh category. Highly recommended are the wada pav, the misal pav, the sabudana khichdi, the kothimbir-wadi, the kanda pohe; and masala tea to wash down the meal. If inclined towards the sweet, try the jalebis.
So the next time you head for Pune, give the expressway a miss. The pain of the Panvel traffic is well compensated for by the pleasures of the simple Maharashtrian snack!

we most often drop in at datta guru snacks before leaving panvel for pune. BUT every time we ask for tissue papers to wipe our messy fingers after a gud snack, we are told that they are not provided for. i think if tissue paper is provided for along with all plates, it wud go a long way in keeping a client happy._ sanjay
i sincerely think that tissue papers should be provided for along with each plate, to keep out the messy fingers from touching the car steering wheel.- sanjay
