Food Breakdown: Dishes & Ratings

Samosa Rating: 9.5/10 Verdict: This is their star attraction. Served piping hot, the pastry is perfectly flaky and crisp, not greasy. The spiced potato filling inside is flavourful and expertly seasoned. It's arguably one of the best samosas you can find in the city.

Chaat (Dahi Puri, Sev Puri, Pani Puri) Rating: 8.5/10 Verdict: The chaat here is fresh, hygienic, and delicious. The puris are always crisp, and the combination of tangy tamarind chutney, spicy mint water, and cool yogurt is perfectly balanced. It's a reliable choice for a chaat craving.

Traditional Indian Sweets (Mithai) Rating: 9/10 Verdict: True to its name, the variety and quality of sweets are exceptional. From rich Kaju Katli to decadent Badam Halwa and fresh Motichoor Ladoos, everything is made with quality ingredients. It's a go-to place for festive or daily sweet purchases.

Dhokla & Khandvi Rating: 8/10 Verdict: Their savory Gujarati snacks are excellent. The dhokla is soft, spongy, and perfectly tempered. A great option for a lighter, non-fried snack.

Bakery Biscuits (e.g., Shrewsbury) Rating: 8/10 Verdict: They stock classic Pune-style bakery biscuits that are buttery, crumbly, and delicious. They make for a great takeaway purchase to have with your evening tea.

Value for Money Rating: 9/10 Verdict: While prices might be slightly higher than smaller local shops, the consistent quality, taste, and hygiene standards make it excellent value for money. You know you're paying for a reliable and...

Karachi samosa were most popular for along time for both the stuffing and chutney. Today after a long time I decided to indulge and bought myself some samosas. It was expensive but i didn't mind as long as the taste remained the same. When I opened it at home I was so disappointed to see the size of the stuffing, the drastic and disastrous change in taste and the quality and quantity of the chutney. What did I pay for?

No doubt they were the best at one time, but not anymore. Buy from...
