Nothing can beat the joy of bingeing on delicious, hot breakfast before starting your day at work. However, Mumbaikars often complain about the lack of time to eat a good hearty breakfast. We believe that skipping breakfast is a sin.
Be it the lack of time or multiple failed attempts in the kitchen, here’s a list of breakfast hot spots that won’t let you skip your breakfast anymore.
Udipi Shri Krishna
Idlis and dosas are the best breakfast options to begin your day with. Stop by an authentic Udipi restaurant and trust us, your morning will just be perfect.
