What you’ll find

What A1 Chikki is known for

Started in the 1950s by Dev Shankarji Vyas and later expanded by his son Rameshji Vyas, A1 Chikki operates from the Old Mumbai-Pune Highway in Lonavala, a stretch long associated with the town's chikki trade. The shop makes its peanut, cashew and sesame brittle by hand without machinery, and extends into sugar-free versions and rose, cardamom and saffron-flavoured chikki alongside chocolate-walnut and dark chocolate fudge.
