Bonda and Sukhiyan are priced at just Rs. Rahid Shraddha, alias Altaramoottil Abbas, the owner, is careful to provide tasty dishes at affordable prices. Abbas follows in the footsteps of his ancestors.
The tea shop run by Abbas’s father Hasan Kunju’s paternal sisters Pathukutty, Mariumma and Kunjumma has been handed down from generation to generation and is still hungry. Hasankun has run the shop for more than 60 years. Abbas took over after his death. Brother Rashid helps.
