I’ve been a fan of Sham Vada in Kolhapur since 2006, and the taste has remained just as unforgettable over the years. Back in my university days, our group of 10–15 friends would gather here almost every evening for their iconic vada and chai combo — it wasn’t just food, it was emotion. Even today, whenever friends visit me from outside Kolhapur, this is the first place I take them. The crispiness of the vada, the perfectly spiced potato filling, and the nostalgic charm make it a must-visit. Sham Vada isn’t just a snack spot, it’s a timeless experience.
