Further, some mouthwatering dishes that you should definitely try at the Yazdani Bakery and Restaurant are the Apple Cinnamon Pie, Brun Maska, Maska Pav, Bread Pudding, Mawa Cake and of course, the Carrot Cake cannot be missed out on! And did we mention Brun Maska?! Can we ever mention it enough times?! BTW, they also bake Fortune Cookies but you've gotta order prior to your visit, to get your hands on them.
The true patriots!
It is also said that post the demolition of the Babri Masjid, Yazdani was the only open bakery in the area feeding the stranded and the homeless, regardless of what religion they belonged to. Truly, this iconic eatery is a testament to humanity, which is often challenged in our world today! Also back in 2007, this bakery was felicitated by the Governor of Maharashtra, with the Urban Heritage Award.
