The Pasta Lanes of Bombay!!!

Three roads in south Bombay are named after the Italian bread-pasta.

How come?

Because around the time of World War II some Italian prisoners of war, after release, settled here and began bakeries here making pasta, savouries and cakes!!

Few people know the biscuits cakes and savouries- available now at Iranian Bakeries in Mumbai, the newly arrived Zoroastrian Iranis with quaint excotic names for their bakeries- Sassanian, Kyani, Bastani, Yazdi, Kermani, George etc etc took over the knowhow from the Italians- are of Italian origin.

look at this(!!!):
