Shinde's Pure Veg East Ham
The East Ham branch of Shinde's Pure Veg, distinguished by authentic Mumbai street food — reviewers call the vada pav 'the real deal' — plus careful kids'-spice handling and group-friendly service from named staff.
Why it's listed: Shinde's second branch on High St North E12 (adjacent East Ham) — same small local pure-veg brand, distinct location worth its own profile.
