I’ve been to GOGGI’S GULLY twice now, and while the atmosphere is lively and their Rahi Chaats are genuinely tasty, both visits left me disappointed for different reasons.
On my first visit, something very unhygienic happened. We saw a child standing very close to the golgappa water bucket. As someone was being served, the child accidentally spit into the water. The staff saw it too, promised to change the water, but it took them more than 20 minutes to even look for a new one. In the end, they didn’t serve golgappas at all and only offered us dahi vadas instead. That incident alone made me question their hygiene practices.
On my second visit, things hadn’t improved. Again, there was no attempt to maintain distance between people and the water bowls, no signage, and no staff politely telling customers to keep back. It felt like food safety was simply not a priority here.
As for the food itself, the Pav Bhaji and Stuffed Kulcha were extremely spicy—so spicy that even the kids in our family couldn’t take more than a bite. All the items were loaded with masalas, which overpowered the actual flavors.
To be fair, their chaats are still tasty, and the presentation looks good. But unless the hygiene improves and the spice level is moderated, I don’t see this being a...
Read moreI've visited Goggi’s Gully a few times, hoping to enjoy the authentic Indian street food experience, but unfortunately, it's been consistently disappointing—especially when it comes to taste and value for money. I’ve tried the Patty Kulcha and Chole Bhature on multiple visits, and while the presentation might look close to what you'd expect in India, the flavor is completely missing. It feels like there’s more focus on colors and appearance than on real, balanced taste. Street food is supposed to hit you with bold flavors, spice, and aroma—none of that is coming through here. The Bhature are shockingly small—barely enough for a kid, let alone an adult meal. And when you're paying premium prices, you expect a proper portion. For example, one aloo tikki priced at $7.99 feels steep, especially when it lacks the spice, texture, and crispiness you'd expect. Also, small things like the tiny water cups (they're seriously around 20ml) just add to the frustration. You're running a restaurant, not giving out tasting samples—customers expect at least basic comfort. I really wanted to like this place and support local Indian food, but unless there's a serious change in how they approach flavor, portions, and value, I can't...
Read moreVisited this place from farther side of west as I was craving for golgappas. Found very good and positive reviews online that they have the Edmonton's best golgappe. Called them to check because it was 35 mins drive from our side. Lady on the other end, confirmed that yes it is available and they serve live golgappas. Reached there within 40 mins and got to know they are not serving golgappas anymore. Why to give wrong information??? If we would have known it before, we would not visited this place. Disappointed right there. Still we thought as we travelled from that far, lets try something else. Ordered dahi wale golgappe, pau bhaji and bhatoore cholle. Dahi wale golgappe was so heavy and yogurt had some off taste. Bhaji was spicy for my kids and pav was dry. As i read in reviews that it is buttery, delicious bhaji; we found nothing like that. In cholle bhature, cholle was really tasty but undercooked. Bhatoora was too thick and very greasy. I would not recommend this place. Overpriced. Overhyped. Ordering and waiting process is too much...
