Cringing, craving, bingeing, braving... you always have an opinion on what's hot and what's not in your city and we just love to hear it. Besides, there's no better place to satiate that itch to bitch!
Apart from their sweets shop, they have this counter for all types of snacks, and you should have seen the crowd ! I had the samosa, sabudana kachori and mix bhajia and they were all really awesome. But best is their chatni, truly unique, makes whatever you eat really tasty ! I liked the samosa the most out of the three, finding the sabudana kachori too sweet for my taste and bhajia too oily. But for the price and location, its really awesome.
I have been eating from here since my childhood days. Some things have remained constant with time, the items on the menu, the people who are at the counter. The shop has changed its look many times to keep pace with the changing times but their Samosa is still the same.
They are a renowned Mithai Shop in Dadar for many many years. I have bought Malai Pedha, my favourite, from here after passing out of all major exams. But apart from the plethora of sweet meats & namkeens, my interest lies in the counter which has access from the outside; The Snacks Counter.

The samosas here are amazing. They are real Punjabi samosas. The masala in it isn't pinkish. Just try it to see what I mean, Damodar beats Guru Kripa when it comes to Samosas.
There is no seating, you stand out and eat it on a paper plate or get a takeaway. There are always people crowding near the counter right from the time it opens at about 8AM up until 9PM. No queuing you just fight your way through. It isn't extremely crowded though, just a maximum of 10 people at a time. I suggest a takeaway for obvious reasons, the sweltering heat can ruin the experience of eating an otherwise delic... read more
i've grown up on the sweets of dayaram.........this place has been there at dadar since i was born.....so every occasion was marked with a box of dayaram's sweets......
