I have been to Sobo at least 20 times now since I live the vicinity, it’s a great place to grab a quick snack and some tea. Have had the pleasure of getting exceptional service from Niki and Divyansh among others, the staff is really amicable and gives great suggestions. The food quality has improved significantly in the last few months. Keep up the good work.

As a desi foodie, Mumbai is perhaps the best place for me to be. However, I can't always afford a flight when I crave Indian food! Well, Sobo is here to quell my cravings for the innovative street food fusion dishes at the very least! With a huge platter of street food laid out to us, I was unsure of where to start. The Amul Cheese Pizza, a delightful fusion, combined the gooey richness of vegetarian cheese with a perfectly baked crust, making it a crowd-pleaser. The Bombay Vada Pav was a classic street food experience, delivering a spicy potato patty hugged by a soft bun, bursting with traditional flavors. The Maharaja Aloo Tikki Burger took the humble aloo tikki to new heights, offering a crunchy, savory patty complemented by a range of chutneys and fresh vegetables. Next up, the Misal Pav was a flavor explosion, with its spicy curry topped with crunchy farsan and served with buttery bread, capturing the essence of Mumbai's streets. The Pizza Sandwich was an innovative twist, merging the best of both worlds with pizza toppings between grilled bread, making it a convenient and tasty option. The Special Masala Puff offered a flaky, spiced pastry that was both satisfying and aromatic, perfect for a quick bite. To wash it all down, the cold coffee provided a refreshing and creamy pick-me-up, perfectly balancing sweetness and coffee intensity. The Kok Masacola Drink was a quirky mix, offering a fizzy and tangy beverage that left a lasting impression. Each dish offered a unique taste of Mumbai's vibrant street food culture, all without having to leave home. Sobo certainly knows how to bring the essence of Indian street food to life, satisfying my cravings in the most delicious way possible - highly recommended!

This establishment is an absolute must-visit. The moment you take your first bite, you're instantly transported back to Gujarat, with the flavors and ingredients evoking vivid memories of India. The food is meticulously crafted, capturing the essence of traditional cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with the staff exuding genuine hospitality, making the entire experience delightful. The ambiance and the people create an inviting and vibrant energy that truly enhances the dining experience. It is, without a doubt, a place that one must visit to fully appreciate. THE Cheese They Use Are Totally Incredible
