Thanks to the internet and social media portals, a few months back a small food joint by the name of ‘Baba Ka Dhaba’ got viral and even got listed on Zomato.
But here’s the thing. There are thousands of such small food joints and food vendors around the country and they all have been struggling, especially after the lockdown.
One such food vendor is Yogesh whose food stall is near Versova beach, Mumbai. This food seller brings the taste of Bihar to Mumbai by selling delicious Litti-Chokha for just Rs 20 per plate.

He is selling best Litti-Chokha in the town (Near Versova beach, Mumbai) and Just for 20 rupees per plate (Which includes, 2 littis dipped into butter, delicious chokha, chatni and salad). He is trying to sell his delicious litti on @zomatoin but he is not 1/n pic.twitter.com/Zw407sjBM0
