Jay Bhavani (Indian Vegetarian Street Food) - Bensalem — Restaurant in Bensalem Township

Quite an interesting place, this restaurant located in Bensalem Pennsylvania is in a shopping center that has a lot of Indo Asian businesses and quite a few Indian restaurants and Asian restaurants in the shopping center itself. This is the first Indian chain restaurant I have ever seen from what I understand. They have 150 locations in four different countries. The inside of the restaurant was laid out very nicely. Very simple with nice music digital menus were available as well as paper menus. I never experienced food like this before so Vic, who I believe was the manager. It was very helpful and selected a vegetarian burger for me and made it vegan by not including cheese and mayonnaise. Instead he put a side of green chili sauce and a sweet red sauce after I ordered the food came out within 10 minutes a lot of their dishes or potato based so this burger had heavy influences of spicy potato and vegetables very fresh, sliced tomatoes, and cucumbers, which is different. Usually it’s a pickle, but the cucumber added gave it a refreshing taste, the green sauce that I put on the sandwich was almost like Sofrito heavy on cilantro, garlic, and chili so it was quite spicy, but very good. This was served on their in-house made potato bread, which was excellent. It was a decent size sandwich. It was à la carte so it did not have any sides with it. It would be nice to see complete meals on the menu. I ordered another dish as you’ll see the pictures and videos I believe it was Lentil soup, served with fermented rice cakes and a coconut dipping sauce on the side, it tasted pretty good, from what I understand this is a homestyle thing that Indonesian people like. They’re very nice people here. It was a little tough for me to understand the accent so I just told them to serve me some of the most...

A Taste of India That Transports You! - Jay Bhavani Vada Pav, Bensalem Wow! Jay Bhavani Vada Pav in Bensalem is an absolute gem that brings the authentic flavors of India right to your doorstep. From the moment you step in (or unwrap your takeout, as in my case!), you know you're in for a treat. The star of the show, the vada pav, is simply perfection. Each bun is soft and perfectly toasted, encasing a beautifully spiced potato fritter that's bursting with flavor. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and traditional recipes – it's just like what you'd find on the streets of Mumbai! But it's not just about the vada pav. The chole bhature (or whatever the main dish is in the tray) was equally outstanding. The chickpeas were cooked to tender perfection in a rich, aromatic gravy, and the bhature were wonderfully puffed and light. It's a comforting and incredibly satisfying dish. And those purple cups (I'm guessing a sweet lassi or a special drink?) were the perfect refreshing accompaniment, adding a delightful end to the meal. The presentation, even for what looks like takeout, was thoughtful and neat. The menu clearly states "Taste the World," and Jay Bhavani certainly delivers on that promise. The location at 1953 Street Road, Bensalem, PA, is now firmly on my radar for authentic Indian street food. If you're looking for a genuinely delicious and authentic Indian food experience in the Bensalem area, Jay Bhavani Vada Pav is an absolute must-visit. Highly,...

Stopped here with my mom for lunch before grocery shopping at Patel Brothers and loved it. We both got a pani puri plate to start. The filling within the puris was very little, so we politely asked for some extra to put inside as we didn't want to be a bother. The staff were so nice about it. They apologized and insisted on bringing us out new plates that had more of the potato mixture inside. They were absolutely delicious and next time I will do the unlimited pani puri option. I got a plain dosa as well and it was perfectly crispy (just the way I like it). My mom got a club sandwich and said it was the most flavorful one she has ever had. We will absolutely be back again soon and will recommend...
