Kaatakirr

Kaatakirr is this amazing misal pav place off Karve Road that sees an absolutely crazy rush, mostly from college kids, but also the occasional family out for brunch. I was there yesterday, and had to wait for 15 mins to get a seat - with the table shared by other patrons, of course.

The menu includes only misal and mattha (lightly spiced butter milk). Not even tea or coffee. You are tempted to ask, can you really run a hotel like that? Is it even healthy?

You are even greeted by a notice board that says a misal cannot be shared by two people, else it will attract an additional charge of Rs 20. It also asks you to get your own tiffins if you need a parcel.

But look at the rush of patrons dying to get in, and you know, this is one business that needs no further tweaking!
