Food spot "Swati Snacks" -- Mumbai

Panki from Swati Snacks

I had been to Mumbai yesterday for some shopping and for a wedding to attend in the eve. One of the highlights of my trip was the place where me and my family picked for lunch. It was a place called Swati snacks which serves mainly Gujju cuisine. We came here by recommendation from dad's friend. I came across this dish called Panki, which was some kind of rice+dal mixture cooked inside a banana leaf. It tasted quite like Khandvi which is a popular gujju dish, but I liked this one as it was served hot and it also had a slight hint of banana flavour as it was cooked in a banana leaf. I highly recommend this place for anybody visiting Heera Panna close to Haji Ali. The place is in front of petrol pump right after Ganga Jamuna Juice center.
