“For over 55 years, this stall—Nagendhar Rao Mirchi Bajji Point in Tarnaka—has been serving up a taste that’s hard to forget. My mother started it with a unique twist that makes our bajjis special. She’d add tamarind right inside each mirchi bajji, giving it that extra zing. And then there’s our signature salad mix—a blend of onions, cabbage, carrot , coriander, and a hint of lime—that we serve on the side. It’s simple, but it’s what people say makes all the difference.

I’ve been here for 35 years now, carrying on her recipe. We don’t do anything else, just mirchi bajjis with that tamarind kick and the salad mix. People from across the city come, even willing to wait 20 minutes, just for that taste.

This isn’t just about feeding people—it’s about keeping a piece of my mother’s legacy alive. I see familiar faces each day, and for me, this place has become more than a business. It’s a little corner of Hyderabad where I feel at home, connecting with the community over something as simple as a mirchi bajji.”
