Mumbai's best bakers

Without a doubt, most of Mumbai's best bakers are either Parsis or Iranis. Among them, my vote for the best (value, and quality) goes to Merwan's in Andheri (West). There are only 2 Merwan's shops in the entire city (suburbs included). And, believe it or not, these 2 shops are just a few shops away from each other. Both are located on the ground floor of a building called "Madhav Building" on S. V. Road, outside Andheri station (West). One shop specializes in cakes and pasteries; the other has some seats, a snacks counter, and a small get-together hall on the first floor (apart from the same cakes and pasteries). Why there are 2 shops selling the same items within such a close distance is not known to me...maybe it has to do with the handling of customers. Such is the fierce clientele that the customers actually keep an "eye" on the fresh baked items coming in by 4 p.m. By 5 p.m., most of the snack items like rolls, puffs are almost over. And by 6 p.m., you are too late to get anything at all in the snacks section. The prices are quite decent too. I have known people who drop in at Merwan's on their way to Malad. Some eggless pastries and snacks are also available which are quite tasty too. They also have packets of cookies that are crisp and well-baked. If ever there was a baker's competition in Mumbai, this one would take it all. Note that apart from these 2 stores, there is no other branch. There is a "B. Merwans" Irani restaurant and bakery opposite Grant Road station - this has no connection with the "real" Merwans.
