If you are visiting Haridwar and looking for authentic local street food, then Mohan Ji Puri Wale is a name you simply cannot miss. Located in the bustling lanes of this spiritual city, this iconic eatery has been serving soul-satisfying food for decades and continues to be a local favorite.
🫓 What We Ordered:
We tried their signature Bedmi Puri with Aloo Sabzi, served with kachalu (spiced boiled potato chutney) and tangy kaddu (pumpkin sabzi) on the side. The puris were hot, crispy, and freshly fried — not overly oily — and the sabzi had the perfect balance of spices and flavor. The chutneys added a delicious twist, especially the kachalu one — spicy, tangy, and unforgettable!
✅ What We Loved: • Authentic Taste: Pure desi flavors that hit the spot. • Freshness: Everything is made fresh on the spot, including puris. • Speedy Service: Even with long queues, service is quick and efficient. • Local Charm: No frills, just great food served with warmth and tradition.
👎 What Could Be Better: • Seating is limited or often shared due to the crowd. • Slightly crowded, especially during peak hours, but that’s a sign of how good the food is!
🧳 Overall Experience:
The experience of eating at Mohan Ji Puri Wale is more than just a meal — it’s a taste of Haridwar’s rich food culture. From locals to tourists, everyone flocks here for a reason. It gives you that nostalgic feel of traditional Indian street food with uncompromised taste and quality.

Read moreWe had searched for some good places to eat at Haridwar, and the name Mohan Ji Puri Wale had popped up during the search. Thus we decided to try out the food outlet on our trip to Haridwar.
We ordered a plate of Khasta Kachauri to try it out first. There were two pieces of Kachauri and a bowl of medium spiced potato gravy. The kachauris were delicious and soft yet crunchy to taste. And since they were served hot with the gravy, it tasted delicious. The Kachauri and the gravy were perfect complements to create a dish with great taste.
Next, we ordered a plate of sarson da saag and makki di roti combo. The saag was layered with some fresh butter and came with two rotis, each cut into half to create four pieces. Again the rotis were dripping with ghee, and there were two small pieces of jaggery in the dish. We tried the saag for the first time, but the taste was phenomenal. We have never had something so delicious. It was served hot, and the combination of the roti and the saag with loads of butter and ghee made it a wonderful experience. I would rate it as one of the best dishes I have had in terms of taste.
Lastly, we ordered a glass of buttermilk. The taste was soothing, and the buttermilk was a perfect end to a delicious meal being lightly spiced yet cold. We overall really enjoyed having food here. The taste was great, the quality was superb, and the prices were reasonable—a must-visit place...
