I had visited both while undergoing a medical checkup at INHS ASVINI hospital of Indian Navy in Colaba. Both are enroute CSMT railway station.

NBC — Nothing But Chicken is a Mumbai-based specialty chicken retail and takeaway brand. The Colaba outlet is at Bela Court Building No. 1, near the Colaba Causeway Fire Brigade.
Interesting facts
-
NBC stands for “Nothing But Chicken.” It is owned by Vivante Foods Pvt. Ltd. and focuses specifically on chicken products rather than being a general restaurant. -
The brand has around 30 years of experience in the poultry industry, according to its official website.
-
It has grown to 34 stores across Mumbai and Pune, according to the company’s current figures. -
The concept is unusual because it combines fresh raw chicken retail with ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook products.
-
Its range includes fresh chicken, sausages and salamis, marinated chicken, seekh kebabs, chicken snacks, salads, wraps, sandwiches and biryanis.
-
NBC specifically advertises its chicken as fresh and never frozen, with no preservatives or artificial colours. -
One of its more Mumbai-specific innovations is the chicken vada pav—essentially taking the city’s iconic street-food format and replacing the traditional potato vada with chicken. Older reviews specifically mention its grilled chicken vada pav. -
The brand also targets people looking for convenient protein, offering chicken salads, marinated portions and ready-to-cook products, rather than only fried fast food.
Why the Colaba location is interesting
The NBC outlet is right by Colaba Causeway, surrounded by some of Mumbai’s most famous old cafés, restaurants and shops. So it is an interesting contrast:
historic Colaba street market → tiny modern specialty chicken shop
The Colaba branch was already included among NBC’s Mumbai target locations in an older company menu/document, showing that the brand has had a presence there for years. (LimeTray Assets)
Glimpse into Local Food Culture
Nothing But Chicken is a distinctly Mumbai concept: a specialty poultry store that goes beyond selling raw chicken to offer kebabs, sausages, salads, wraps, biryani and ready-to-cook products.
Don’t Miss
The chicken vada pav is probably the most interesting item to mention because it combines NBC’s chicken-focused concept with one of Mumbai’s most recognisable street foods.
Local Character
The Colaba outlet sits near the famous Colaba Causeway, making it an interesting stop in the middle of one of South Mumbai’s busiest food-and-shopping districts.
My Takeaway
Rather than being another generic fast-food chain, NBC represents the evolution of the traditional neighbourhood chicken shop into a modern, hygienic, branded specialty-food store.
Camy Wafers, Colaba
Camy Wafers is at 5–6, Oxford House, near Colaba Market, Shahid Bhagat Singh Marg (Colaba Causeway). It is one of Mumbai’s old-school snack and sweet shops.
Interesting history
-
Camy Wafers dates to 1985. The company says it has been in the snack business for decades; a 2025 account marking its 40th year says it began as a small shop selling hand-cut potato wafers.
-
The Colaba branch has itself been around for many years; an earlier local feature described the Colaba shop as having been there for around 15 years at the time.
-
What started with wafers has expanded into sev, sticks, cubes, sweets, farsan and other snacks. The company’s current product list includes cheese wafers, tomato wafers, masala chips, jalli wafers, farsi puri, kaju cookies and kaju katli.
-
Camy has expanded beyond Colaba, with official listings showing stores in Gowalia Tank, Byculla, Mazgaon, Mahim, Bandra, Khar and Lokhandwala as well.
The famous flavours
Camy is particularly associated with its wavy, crunchy potato wafers. Besides classic salted and masala, its range includes unusual flavours such as tomato, cheese, sweet chilli, green chilli, pudina and smoky variants.
The tomato wafers have a particularly loyal following—even recent Mumbai food-community posts describe people specifically travelling to the Colaba branch for them.
It’s not just a wafer shop
A lovely Colaba detail is that the shop is also known for Indian sweets. In a 2024 Mid-Day feature, former Miss India Salome Roy Kapur specifically recalled buying Mathura peda from Camy in Colaba for years, including boxes for Diwali gifts.
Camy has another famous connection
The family behind Camy later entered the cake business and launched Celejor in 2005. So the Camy → Celejor story is another interesting piece of Mumbai food-retail history.
Glimpse into History
Established in 1985, Camy Wafers began as a small shop selling hand-cut wafers and gradually grew into a Mumbai snack-and-sweets institution. The Colaba branch sits right on the historic Colaba Causeway, near Colaba Market.
Don’t Miss
Try the tomato wafers, cheese wafers or classic salted chips. If you have a sweet tooth, look at the Mathura peda and other Indian sweets too.
Local Experience
It’s particularly good for taking Mumbai snacks home as gifts—the kind of stop that fits naturally into a Colaba Causeway shopping walk.
My Takeaway
What makes Camy special is its longevity: a simple idea—fresh, crunchy wafers—has survived for four decades while expanding into a whole range of Mumbai snacks and sweets.
Best little food walk:
Camy Wafers → Celejor → Colaba Causeway → Café Churchill → Olympia Coffee House → Gateway of India.
