About Engineer Eggwala

Engineer Eggwala reimagines the egg through bold, Gujarati-style street cooking packed with chili and layered spices. Regulars make the trek to Main North Road for skillet-cooked staples—rich Egg Mughlai, spiced Egg Kheema, and savory Egg Ghotalo alongside toasted pav. Even self-described skeptics get won over by the savory profiles, while the wider menu makes room for table-filling snacks like cheese-stuffed sandwiches, maska buns, and weekend breakfast fafda gathiya. Everything washes down with kettle-poured cutting chai, brewed strong with lemongrass or crushed cardamom.

  • Indian Egg Specialties: Regional Indian dishes like Egg Ghotalo, spicy Egg Kheema, and Egg Mughlai cooked to order with fragrant spices.
  • Live Weekend Street Food: Live Pani Puri runs on weekend evenings alongside morning street staples like Fafda Gathiya and Methi Gota.
  • Kettle Cutting Chai: Tableside cutting chai poured straight from a traditional kettle, spiced with cardamom or fresh lemongrass.

  • Surprising Skeptical Palates

    Guests who normally avoid or feel skeptical about eggs are won over by the welcoming service and richly flavored recipes that introduce exciting new tastes.

    The food is amazing here, even for me who is skeptical about eggs. I do recommend asking them about their dishes so you know what you are getting and they are super friendly.

  • Inclusive Family-Friendly Dining

    The welcoming setup offers extensive non-egg vegetarian street fare, from Junglee sandwiches to kid-approved veggie burgers, ensuring the whole family eats well together.

    My daughter usually never eats burgers, but she loved veggie burger so much that it’s now her permanent favorite. The Junglee Sandwich was also amazing.
