One thing about the menu name

On our menu board and in the ordering app this category is listed as “Shiwwish”. It is our own spelling and it has confused enough people at the counter that it is worth saying plainly here: these are grilled sandwiches.

What they are is bread pressed on a grill with the filling inside until the outside has proper lines on it and the cheese has gone. What they are not is a cold cut sandwich assembled in advance.

They are also the quickest substantial thing we make, which matters more than it sounds if you are between classes, between trains, or on a lunch break with a meeting after it.

The quickest substantial thing on the menu, even during the evening rush.

When it has to travel

Grilled sandwiches carry well and need no cutlery — good for a train or a desk.

When you want food, not an event

A sandwich and a cold coffee is a complete, unfussy lunch.

When the table has already over-ordered

Lighter than a burger or a pizza, and easier to share out.

Questions we get asked

What does “Shiwwish” mean on your menu?

It is our own spelling for the grilled sandwich section — the same thing this page is about. If you are ordering at the counter or in the app and looking for sandwiches, that is the heading to look under.

Do you have veg sandwiches?

Yes — paneer, cheese and corn versions among others, all marked veg in the list above with their current prices.

Are the sandwiches good for takeaway?

One of the best things we make for it. They carry well, need no cutlery and are easy to eat one-handed, which makes them a sensible choice for a train from Katpadi Junction or a desk lunch.

How much is a sandwich in Vellore?

Current prices for the whole range are listed on this page, straight from our kitchen’s menu. Most of them sit well inside the under-₹200 band.
