Darshan Lal Kulche Wala — Restaurant in Punjab

Darshan Lal Kulche Wala in Amritsar is a hidden gem for those who love authentic Punjabi street food. Famous for its Aalu Wala Kulcha, this place serves one of the most flavorful and satisfying meals in the city. The kulchas are tandoor-baked with a generous stuffing of spiced mashed potatoes, making them crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful inside.

What truly sets this place apart is the use of Amul butter, which adds a rich, creamy texture and enhances the overall taste. Each kulcha is served hot and fresh, paired perfectly with white chana (chole) that are mildly spiced yet full of flavor. The tangy onion salad and green chutney on the side make it a complete and mouth-watering Punjabi platter.

Despite being a small, local shop, the hygiene is well-maintained, and the service is quick and friendly. The prices are affordable, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists.

If you are in Amritsar and want to taste authentic Punjabi kulcha with a twist of homemade flavor and traditional preparation, Darshan Lal Kulche Wala is a must-visit. Pure taste, pure...

Best kulchas I have ever eaten. Eat to believe. Seating place is bad but kulchas are heavenly. His chole & onion in chutni are also excellent.

Starts by around 10AM & stuff gets over by 4pm, or even earlier, so reach on time with plenty of appetite.

One Word sums it all - Yum

Much better than expected Value for Money Though the serving looks small it's actually great value for money even in this day and age

Items start from Rs 40 to Rs 100 Varies upon the stuffing you need to fill.

Avoid going around Lunch as this can be a snack which can be had in mid afternoon or early evening as Lunch hours attract a lot of locals

Place has only standing space but is very clean

Non Air-conditioned hence more reason to avoid...

So this will be my second time visiting this shop for aalu kulcha. If you like the taste then visit this place, though they are lacking the best setting arrangement, still installed 2 AC for each room so we can have the delicious AALU KULCHA with Chole and chatni peacefully.

I have even bought it at my place and enjoyed the same taste after putting the kulcha in the oven for about 15-20 minutes at 180 ° then 250° to maintain the crispiness.

you might find a little difficulty to park your car but you r good to go...
