Started almost 40 years back by Shri Tarachand Chawla from Karachi, Pakistan who had moved to India after the partition. He started his business from a refugee camp where he cooked sabzi and roti.

The interiors were bright and lively with frames about waffles and wallpapers with waffle photos around a tree. There is seating available and i liked those wooden seats. Here we not only get sweet waffles but also waffle sliders and waffle salads.  Very sweetly she says "don't worry we shall keep the outlet open and take your last order". I asked her to suggest me what to order. She suggested me the Shahi Tukda which was their hot seller. So I...
