Food Culture of Thane

I spent early years in Thane. I distinctly remember the food culture of thane was very unique. It offered everything from classic fine dining to eating on the go. I remember dining in at restaurants inside Gadkari RangMandir, Tambe’s and Abhiruchi What made it unique was the flavour which was very different back then ( if anyone know please let me know why) Street food was mostly Chaat and Chinese.. The best Chinese food I remember was made inside a broken down tempo near St John school talav pali. I don’t think it exists anymore.. but still remember the taste. On the Go were Vada Pav, Idli Vada Sambar and Misal I no longer see this .. I might be wrong as I hardly visited Thane. I spent most of childhood and Teenage living in different places across Mumbai to Kalyan. I have seen Thane grow to this megapolis today. Sadly I know longer see the culinary culture that thane once had.. and people visiting thane from far away place to enjoy it…
