About the food

There is only one item available on the menu, either a single plate or a two piece chole bhature. Once you enter the restaurant, you come across a counter where a gentleman patiently attends to you and takes down orders. So you can either pack you stuff or take a token to eat the meal in the restaurant itself. There is no seating here and limited tables mean you might have to share one during peak hours.

Once you deposit the token at the concerned counter, you will get a plate with a filling of chole and some accompaniments. After that you need to proceed to the next counter where you will get the bhature. Bhature are not freshly prepared as it is done at most of the places in New Delhi where they serve similar food. But they do reheat it on the hot tava before serving on your plate. And then you proceed to the nearest table to dive into your food because by this time, you mouth is already watering with the delicious sights and smell all around.

The highlight of this place is also the quick and fast parcel service. A well oiled machinery ensures that the rush for delivery is met by some fast and fanatic packing.

Serving food is considered a good deed. Owners at this place has been doing this for a lot of years. We wish them more success in years to come and lots of satisfied customers.
