The Aalu parantha is delicious, and the sweet and sour lemon pickle that comes with it is out of this world. However I was very underwhelmed with the quality and quantity of the pani puri chaat and the pav bhaaji. The mango lassi was ok. Given the prices and long wait times, I was hoping they would really deliver but sadly that wasn’t the case for me. The meat is halal so that’s a plus. What I really liked was their grocery store which had such an amazing variety of desi sweets, snacks and spices. They also have their own brand and I’m keen to try some of their items. I’ve also heard the items like Chhola bhatura and some other North Indian items are good. Will need to wait till my next visit.

Great taste in every chaat I ordered. It would be helpful if the online order provided a bit more information about the specific dishes, how many I ordered were quite similar and I needed a little help to distinguish which ingredients from each dish. The portions were large and although the samosas were very fried in the car, they were made perfect without too much oil. I hope to visit again and try more dishes!
