Hole in the Wall Café

A spread of sausages, bacon, fried eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and baked beans, and a basket of bread and butter – all for Rs 150—makes this little hole in the wall a home away from home.

All the fuzzy homeliness at this tiny, couple-run brekker joint comes from the simplicity of its prices and menu, which also features waffles with homemade syrup, a choice of egg omelets and fresh fruit juice.

Watching Galeej Gurus’ vocalist Nathan Lee Harris and partner-in-crime Lynn D’Costa whisk and toss the contents of your would-be spread in the open kitchen, while two helpers scuttle about with dirty dishes and orders, could tease the voyeur in you on a not-so-crowded weekday.

But on a sunny Sunday morning, with limited seating space and a rushed stream of orders, you’ve got to keep a close watch on what’s missing on your plate, as the couple tends to get forgetful.

The sausages are juicy and well-cooked, and unless specified, the eggs tend to be runny.
You can amuse yourself with an array of board games, music, and a wall crowded with messages and artwork from loyal customers, while you wait to be fed.

The smoker’s space, which overlooks the street, has limited tables, and hence, is ideal for a coffee and perhaps, a brownie. But a breakfast over coffee and cigarettes could get messy.

Nestled amidst the staccato bungalows of Koramangla, it is easy to miss the Hole in the Wall, but it’s better if you didn’t.
