Soft drinks, oil cake,roti with curry but no toilet or washroom. Food was okay and not pricy. Some hot drinks would be desirable.

Every Sunday and public holidays the sellers are on the spot. There are only 2 authorized sellers to work at this place and they work in turns/ALTERNATELY but sometimes during festive periods, holidays and also the new year, that is 1st of January, both of them work. Tourist and locales are frequent, some people who come for jogging or a hike in the open are regulars and they usually sit and have a chat with the owners. The queue is longest around noon, 10 00 - 14 00, and many people who work in the region or is passing by usually drops by. The menu is usually Gato de huile, Roti, Du thé (Tea) and sweets(rasgula). Bottled water and soft drinks are also available(cold and ordinary). The speciality is the tamarin juice.
