Review Shankar Bhel House - Bengaluru

This OG place in Sindhi colony has been famous for chats for years. People have mixed reviews, but I would recommend this place for some good chats. Slightly priced higher. Pani Puri is my favourite here.

Best place for chats. Signature dishes being All Mix chat, Cutlet chat, Bombay mix and Pani puri

You stand on the footpath and eat. Food is great and the taste is great as always. There however seems to be a sense of fatigue of late while serving customers. Like they used to enjoy it before but now it’s just business.

Shankar bhel house - A must try old school style street chats at Frazer town! Visiting this place was litterally like a throw back to 90's. Though technology is dominating us , they still follow giving Color tokens on exchange of cash and you give these token to the staff and in return you get your chats here. Since ages, this place has been well known and has made some name for their chats, especially their cutlet chat is famous and fast moving here. We tried their masala puri , dahi papdi chat and cutlet chat, All of them were equally good and can be relished completely. It is quite different from other chat places for its more dominant on masala flavor which was pretty strong , unlike other places where they make their masala mild. Do visit here to experience a different style of chats and a good feel of throw back to 90's.

The place may look a little run down but that does not have anything to do with the chats served there or it’s quality. I have been a regular there for over 15 years and their consistency is great and real value for money. Now with Swiggy, Zomato, Uber etc lots of stuff go as takeaways. Evenings from to 8 are really packed but definitely worth the wait. Parking is an issue as you may have to park on the side road and four wheeler parking could be a challenge. No seating facilities so you need to stand and eat. The hand wash area may not suit everybody. If okay with these negatives you should definitely try this place and sure you will be back for more.

Most delicious tasty chats serv3d here and loved the live Pani puri counter and all other chats. Must visit place if u are around.

Loved the combination of spicy, tangy and sweet chutneys along with crispy puris. I had All mix Chaat which was my newest try. It was yummy and delicious 🤤

A Bhel House not to be missed! Shankar Bhel House is a very old outlet in Frazer Town serving some great chat delicacies. I’ve been seeing this bhel house from my childhood days. It’s always a pleasure to gorge on their street foods! My all time favorite here is definitely the Cutlet Chat! This will be the most delicious chat for all the aloo lovers! It’s made up of aloo cutlets and peas masala. First item to try here! Next is their bhel puri. Crispy and tasty bhel puri is yet again a great chat to savour here! Another favourite item is the mixed chat. This brings all the 5 varieties of chats into one plate. All the love to this chat! Almost all the chat items here taste yummy! Next time you pass by Frazer Town, don’t miss to visit this place.

Very good taste. Must try. Only problem is there no place to sit and eat. Rest all ok.

This is my go to chats place since my childhood. The same best taste all these years. Must try in Bangalore. All mix chat and papdi chat is a must try.

Old food joints of Bangalore. But the same old charm is lost. Tried bhel, dahi puri and pani puri. Bhel was nice thoug, but other two dishes lacked in taste and puri was not crispy too. Must visit if taste n quality is not compromised.

Must try place for chat lovers. Great food, cleanliness is not that great but they do serve good food without much delay. Their samosa isn't that good as expected.

It's a very old chat place popular among the young and old in Frazer town and nearby localities. Dev Puri, bhel Puri, masala Puri or dahi papdi, everything is good. They've been around for almost two decades and they have their loyal customers coming back to them regularly. Go for it if you're that side. For us it's just nostalgia! Parking is an issue that side so if you're going there park in some by lane and walk.

Best place for chaat in Bangalore in my opinion. The taste has been great for several decades now. The menu remains simple and the people are the same.

Old charm with the same old taste. Takes you down the memory lane. Must try is their masale Puri and dahi puri. Parking is a little difficult in front of the shop as it's a busy street.

Taste is best in Bangalore...rest all others, you just ignore. Prices have been increased and quantity has been decreased but quality/taste matters. No space, only standing on small road side footpath, no parking.

I've been coming here for many years now. You can never go wrong with their Masala Puri or Pani Puri. Impeccable taste and consistent as always. These days it is tough to get a parking spot close by. The service is good, but mostly the new folks mess up with the orders because there are so many people even on a full weekday.<br/><br/>One the old classic Bangalore places, must visit for the taste.

Exorbitant prices for the quality and quantity. I guess most of these "so called" legendary outlets are an absolute sham. Hygiene is something that is alien to them. Highly recommended by a close friend, I strolled down to this place and ordered the masala puri and the all mix. For starters, the puris were stale and for ₹35, one expects the dish to be atleast reasonably good. It was none whatsoever! The all mix chat is an amalgamation of all items on the menu i.e. a piece of oily cutlet, bhel, masala puris, 1 pani puri (purely for decoration or to add some sad aesthetics) all mashed up with the chutneys, green peas and veggies. ₹45 for this dish straight out of the chemistry lab of a novice is day light robbery indeed!

Used to be one of my favourite chat centre, the quality of certain food items have dropped the quality of the poori for panni poori was below their standards paani tasted bad. Dhahi items and the other items still makes the place busy and worth visiting again!

Good chaat place, very small place in the busy place. If you go there in four wheeler impossible to park, so make sure you make alternative arrangements. Mixed chaat here is awesome, a must try. Little pricy but a must try if you are chaat lover.

One of the old school Chat shops in Bangalore Cant. I've been in love with the chat here ever since I visited for the first time when I was in high school over 12 years back and I must say the taste has not changed a lot ever since. All of their chats are brilliant with a signature taste that I've found in literally no other chat shop. They have a wide selection of chats which are priced slightly higher than most other chat shops but the taste and quality makes up for it.<br/>This isn't a place which has seating but the delicious food is worth standing while one gorges it down.<br/>My favourite are the Masala Puri, Dhai Puri and Bhel Puri. I highly recommend this chat shop to all Chat lovers.

1.5/5<br/>Shankar bhel house is ~40 years old street food joint located in Wheeler Road, Frazer town. After hearing some raving reviews, visited here with high expectations on a chilly Sunday.<br/><br/>Service:<br/>-Chats were prepared in front of us and served in less than a minute!<br/><br/>Ambiance:<br/>-Hole in a wall kind eatery with enough space to stand and eat on footpath.<br/>-Cleanly maintained.<br/><br/>Food:<br/>-Masala puri: Puris were stale, masala tasted below average.<br/>-Cutlet chaat: Could have this one until cutlet got over and had to throw away the rest of masala.<br/>-Bhel puri: Puri was stale/not crispy and tasted very bad!<br/><br/>Conclusion:<br/>-I really wanted to like what I was having here but it was impossible and was very disappointed. Either we visited on a bad day or the quality might have gone down with time.<br/>-I am rating it a two only because I had no problem with service and it is possible to complete half plate without throwing up :/<br/><br/>Food: 1/5<br/>Service: 4/5<br/>QFM: 1/5

Had a good chats after a long time.!<br/><br/>Located on the main road, it's easy to locate and is crowded in the evening, esp on weekends.<br/><br/>Ordered Masala puri, Pani puri, aloo puri. Among these, the best was cutlet chat. All were good and pocket friendly.<br/><br/>There's neither parking nor seating available.<br/>Heard it's a old place and they have another branch in Shivajinagar. Will drop in when I'm around.!<br/><br/>

Nice place to have chats in the evening. The chats are fresh and refreshing. The taste is awesome. This place is famous for chats since ages so it's a must visit if you are in the vicinity. We had the Masala Puri and Dahi Puri both were impeccable.

Have been visiting this place since my childhood. This a quick snack place, their service is good and fast. All their chats are value for money.

This was on my list for a very long time...was quite disappointed as there are better places. We had mix chat, Bombay chat, dry pani Puri, bhel, cutlet and pani Puri...taste was average..but this place pulled lot of people. You can try this place for variety...!

One of my favourite place for quick evening snacks from last 2 years. <br/>Oldest shop in the town for the best Dahi Papdi, Bhel,chaat and samosa Masala !!! <br/>Place never disappoints in the taste and quality. <br/><br/>Hope to see this place keep the same fun and food !! And keep serving the Amazing chaats in Bangalroe. <br/><br/>

I’ve been visiting Shankar bhel house since my childhood. It is an old chaat house that is quaint, compact and small. There is no seating but the patrons gather outside relishing the chaat. It is usually crowded during the evenings, especially weekends.<br/><br/>My favourites at Shankar Bhel House are masala puri, cutlet chat, bhel and dahi puri, so, I’ll describe those.<br/><br/>Masala puri- The crushed puri’s are topped with a spicy masala gravy that has lots of tender chickpeas in it. It is spicy, with a hint of sweetness and tanginess to tie it all together in a perfect way. <br/><br/>Cutlet chaat- The masala gravy is the same as the masala puri.. The cutlet is soft, fluffy and well spiced and tastes delicious with the spicy gravy.<br/><br/>Dahi puri- It isn’t too sweet, subtle yet, very flavourful and loaded with lots of sev for crunchiness. <br/><br/>Bhel- The puffed rice isn’t soggy and coated in just the right amount of sweet chutney and spicy chutney. The balance is just right.<br/><br/>I love to stop by every time I can to have the chaat there. It is very economical and the quick service is a plus point.

Prompt service, Car service. <br/><br/>Great Masala Puri (there was a time when I would ha e at least one every time I passed by from this place), now not so often only because of parking problems. <br/><br/>Have not tried much of the other stuff, but my wife seems to like stuff apart from masala puri as well. I just can't get enough of a hot and spicy plate of masala puri. <br/><br/>

One of the best places for bhel in banglore, tried almost all chats in this place several times, quality remains the same.<br/><br/>No seating, its on the Junction, that the only drawback, thats if you have some Lil ones around.

Shankar Bhel House: No 139, Wheelers Road, Frazer Town, Bangalore.<br/><br/>Food: Go for their Masala Puri and improved versions of the same.<br/><br/>Ambiance and service: No seating. Quick service.<br/><br/>Chaat for two: 90 bucks. Each portion priced between 40-45 bucks.<br/><br/>Hygiene: 9/10.<br/><br/>Overall experience: 8.5/10<br/><br/>Shankar Bhel House is one of those really old Chaat shops of Bangalore where you can savour Chaat with that quintessential Street Food buzz without worrying about hygiene. <br/>When you are walking on this part of Wheeler Road, the aroma which this place manages to pan out will help you locate this joint easily. <br/><br/>Place your order over the counter and present one of the three coloured tokens given to you. Watch your order being prepared right in front of you and make sure you ask him to tweak it as per your preference. You won't have to wait for too long before it is served. The only draw back is you have to bite into your order while standing on the footpath. Well, that is a part of the street food experience.<br/><br/>Their unique selling point has to their Masala (The thick, greenish brown, liquid which is used in making Masala Puri?). It is amazingly aromatic, with various spices coming in very well. The menu displayed the usual suspects, Bhel Puri, Masala Puri and their likes. But there was a special menu as well. Mixed Chaat, Ragda Papdi Chaat ( Samosa with Papdi Chaat) and few others which made an attempt to make the menu interesting. I tried the Mixed Chaat and the Papdi Chaat. Mixed Chaat was a blend of a Aloo Tikki, a few Puris, laced with lots of their masala, some curd and chutneys. The Papdi Chaat is devoid of their trademark masala and can be given a miss. Stick to the ones with their masala. Stick to the ones on the Special Items part of the menu if you would want to try something different.

Worst. Don't ever try here. <br/>Unhygienic to its peak. Not worth at all. <br/>Tried their Pani Puri and regretted soon after.<br/>I am giving one cause there is nothing lower than that here.

This is the place for some crispy bhelpuri 😋<br/><br/>Pretty old place and still holds the same food standards. <br/><br/>As the name says the bhel is a must try here, <br/>Aloo chat is something unique of all and be the best for aloo lovers, all of their menu items taste good with <br/>Good service.

Have been eating at this place for last 20+ years, and it is the best place for chats!! Nothing has changed here, the people, the taste. My all time favourite is All Mix and Masala Puri, though other items such as Bhel Puri, Pani Puri are really yummy. Parking is a problem if you take a 4 wheeler, and there is no seating as well..But who cares, I've always enjoyed being here :) Whenever I am eating chats at any place other than Shankar bhel house, I always compare it to this place and really miss the taste.

A small outlet at the corner is one of the famous chat place in the locality. Masala puri n bhel puri is quite famous and tastes true to authentic Bangalore Chats. It is a good place to serve ur taste buds with good street food.<br/><br/>Taste: 4<br/>Service: 5

Been here like a dozen times! A very hygienic and authentic street food and snack hangout!<br/>My personal hot fav is the Bombay masala followed by the all time classic pani puri!<br/>The pani puri is chill and spicey and simply divine overall it's a great place to be on a Saturday or any rainy evening !

One of the iconic joint for Pani puri, Masala puri, and chats. If you are in Frazer town and love to gulp some good street food it is the right place on wheeler road.<br/>     Bon Appetite @Chef BB

Chaats and roadside go along very well and this place is one among that. All chaats are very yumm and in quite good quantity. The best part is it is open till 11.

One of the famous places for having chaats in Bangalore ....I have been coming here from childhood days and the taste hasn't changed much over the years ....crowded in evenings but the service here is quick....the dahi puri is a must try

I personally did not like the chats here. But you should try it and decide for yourself. A lot of mixed reviews which is why I decided to try it out. Was not disappointed though but did not meet my expectations.

A famous place for chats in frazer town, been here many times and enjoy most of the most from bhel, pani puri, masala puri etc etc u do get service in parking

One cannot miss shankar bhel house being in fraZer town. One of the most visited places in my childhood days till today. Their pani puri and masala puri is the best i have had till date. Gets very crowded in the evenings. But still do stop by.

A legendary place for chaats.<br/>I've seen this place I've since I was in school,since this place was right below my tuitions. Have loads if memories here as a school kid,would gulp some chaat down before tuitions and run. <br/>They are just beyond amazing.<br/><br/>Its the same since then. Almost 5 years down, and visited this place recently and could cherish all my memories, same people working there, everything is just the same.<br/><br/>They have varieties of chaats, which are just yum. Papdi chaat, cutlet chaat, dahi puri, samosa chaat and it goes on. The pani puri is just yum in fact.<br/><br/>This place is jam-packed after like 6 pm. You can find people standing on the footpath and eating, or siting on their bikes parked in the corner. It's runs till about late in the evening. <br/><br/>Its or etsy famous among the Frazer town area chaat places. It's in sindhi colony. Their dahi puri actually stands out.<br/><br/>There is nothing to talk about the ambience as you just gotta stand on the footpath and eat. Parking might be a bit of a trouble. Find yourself a nice parking maybe on sindhi colony.

A drive through chaat street that has waiters who come to your car and serve hot steaming chaat which is true to the north Indian taste. All the items are spicy unless you tell them to serve it without spice and and ask for extra sweet. my favourites are cutlet chaat, samosa chaat and dahi puri. Be sure to try this typical bangalore street food

This place is on the way to meaty zone of Frazer Town; thus heavily crowded but the bhel was good, but the pani puri was soggy and didn't make its mark. It's very easy on the pocket though

Are you a street chat lover? Then try Shankar Bhel House located in one of the famous streets of Frazer town. This chat store is been serving from 3 decades :)<br/>This was on my must try list from very long time and finally got to visit this outlet. We tried 2 of their special recipes called all mix chat, 5 mix chat and dahi puri from the menu. All tasted pretty good and yes, it is something different from other chat stores.<br/>Staff are friendly in approach and prices are pocket friendly.<br/>Downsides being no parking place, the outlet is very small and doesn't have a seating place. The footpath isn't wide enough to cater the crowd which causes traffic here.<br/>Food - 3.75 /5<br/>Service - 4.5/5

An old bangalorean's favourite! This place had been around for a really long time. With a lot of loyal customers they have struck to their old school store ambiance. Tastes good but always felt they were slightly over priced. Worth a try for anyone who has not had here.

Been to this place, located close to itc fly over and thoms bakery on the wheelers road. <br/>There's is no ambience you have to sit in your car on your bike and eat, they have car service ie they serve the chats to you in the car. Most of the time there is parking issues and the place is crowed. Very important point not to hygiene, this place lacks the same. The plates are just washed with water no soap is used. As a measure recommended to as for diposalable plates. <br/>Coming to chats tried masala puri and Bhel puri, nothing great about it, both the chats just normal and the quantity was also less but charged rs.30 each. The chats missed garnishing.<br/>Service is fast as the is acute shortage of space, so the idea is to provide fast service and accommodate more customer. <br/>Over all okish place, if you have no option for chats. One time visit.<br/>Cheers!!!<br/>

It was a disappointment visiting this place. Tried the masala puri and dahi puri and both were sad. Neither good taste nor hygienic. Just a over hyped place.

Food can take you to places you barely think of and this time we went to the Shankar Bhel House! This place has always been a favorite and it dates back to more than 3 decades of serving one of best street chat there is! I use to visit this place when I was a kid with my parents. This time me and my friend had ordered

Food can take you to places you barely think off and this time we went to the Shankar Bhel House! This place has always been a favorite and it dates back to more than 3 decades of serving one of best street chats there is! I use to visit this place when I was kid with my parents. This time me and my friend had ordered All Mix and Five Mix Chat from there special menu and Dhai Puri to finish it off. The pani served is bit spicy and leaves you wanting more. The management and staff are friendly. The service time is pretty decent and the ambience is maintained well. The downsides are parking place, no seats to sit down and no place to stand if it gets crowded. I would surely be back for more special items! :)

This roadside chat joint in frazer town is one of my fav chat joints in bangalore. It's been around for long time . They have created their own set of chat's(All mix, Chat mix, Bombay spl mix etc) apart from regular's . I've tried most of them and each of these are bound to stay in your memory for a long time. This ones better than Karnataka bhel House as it gives you variety .

One of the oldest in the area and therefore loyalty remains. Parking is the only issue although chaat is pretty good. Always a place you can take your family and head out to in the locality!

Been a regular to this place from childhood... Masala puri and Cutlets are awesome... Taste hasn't changed over the years... Only prob is car parking... Apart from that reasonal price n good chat...

Heard a lot about this place. Had great expectations. Had a pretty decent crowd and got excited. No mouth watering smell but continued to try anyway.<br/>The first big bite... And disappointment!!! Brunt masala taste. Enough said. Not authentic chat... The south kind.<br/>Over priced to sky! <br/>All hype!

Famous for the chat items.. Simple menu good service. Best for a weekend snacks... Have tried most of the items in the menu and its good.. Little crowdy as the taste is good..

This is a small place with decent chat variety. Try the aloo tikko chat and sweet dahipoori chat. It's really good. so, even with a light wallet, you have some good snacks for the evening !

This place does not amuse me, it's a little over hyped . It can be regarded as Bangalore's best chaat house , but I feel it has lost its charm.The quality of their serving has changed over the years. Their masala puri and dahi puri is highly recommended. <br/>Otherwise this place is like any other chaat house in the city. <br/><br/>Cheers :)<br/>

This chaat is one of the best you get in town. Been eating it since I was 5 <br/>Sindhi colony is the location a small corner shop, with difficulty in parking<br/>But his paani puri and masala puri is lip smacking.<br/>Shankar himself comes every evening and oversees the operations

Best Chaat ever! That should be just about enough to sum up Shankar Bhel. It has a unique spicy taste in all of its Chaat, and I've been coming here since the days they used to serve in the small cheap ceramic plates, which has now moved to paper plates. The rows of bikes parked outside has given way to cars, in spite of the road being so tiny. But the taste in their Chaat continues to be the same unique one that you just can't find anywhere else. <br/>Chaat as a dish is not a very South Indian phenomenon, and is particularly good in Bombay, Delhi and Kolkata. But down south, you do get good Chaat in Bangalore, and you have Shankar Bhel that tops the list here. <br/>It's on top of my agenda every time I visit Bangalore, and my favourite dishes are Masala Puri, Cutlet Chaat, and Papri Chaat.

Nothing Great.. Just the Hype created by people.. Wonder how it so famous... Just watery puri's and No good taste... I wonder i am not the only one who feels like this... Lot of improvements on Taste and Quality is must... But a crowd puller somehow....

Seeing this Pani Puri shop from my childhood. I have eaten when the bhel puri here was 5 bucks and now it is 30 bucks. Best chat place in blore.

It has always been authentic and nearest to please my palate when in mood for best in chats. Raju the founder himself available at times to run by his signature specialities and serve with modesty.

One of my favourite chat places in town. The aloo tikki is the closest I've eaten to the famed Delhi ones. <br/><br/>The little place has been doing brisk business in evenings since I can remember. Many times I have come here with friends, parked down the road and eaten chaat in the almost rainy/ just rained Bangalore evenings. Not once have I fallen sick from eating here during the rains (which used to be every month, anyway in Bangalore) <br/><br/>The dry pani puri chaat is inspired. As is the dahi paapdi chaat. For some reason all my friends favour this. The masala puri and aalu puri are superb too

this place makes one of the finest chats in bangalore..<br/>Although the shop is small and situated right in the corner, it won't go unnoticed bcoz of the number of people gathered there.. <br/>Chats are well prepared and are very tasty.. <br/>Only drawback would be that you have to wait for long time bcoz of the number of people.. :(

I've been going to Shankar Bhel House since I was 2 years old. I've had masala puri's in many places in India and abroad, and the best masala puri I've ever had in my life is at Shankar Bhel House. I still go there for chats at least 4-5 times a month. Yes it's dingy, yes it looks pretty run down, but you'll find the best masala puri in town here. DO NOT take any curd/yogurt dishes (like papadi chat, dhai puri, etc.) as all his curd dishes are bad. Highly recommend these dishes - Masala puri, Special masala puri, Cutlet (or aloo tikki), Bhel, Pani Puri. Most of this other dishes are not that great. Weekends and post 7.30pm it gets really crowded and messy which might lead to a bad experience, so visit during off peak hours to get good service.

My wife loves this place, and she took me there. Sadly, I didnt like it. Chats and Bhels are a North Indian Speciality and to disfigure the taste, would be a crime. It's like someone opening a idly/dosa shop in Delhi and making them in a weird manner. <br/><br/>The place gets a lot of crowd no doubt, but I feel sad for those people. They wouldn't know what real good taste of a chat is like. <br/><br/>Some of the items are still fine but if you really want a good chat/bhel experience, this is definitely not the place for you.

Ok.. im the odd one out.. I have no blooming idea why on earth is this famous? I absolutely despise it.. Its a mayhem of people, crowding all over and standing in noisy circles..Forming human barricades all around..the spices contradict with each other, extremely over powering, each spice wants to give you a taste of itself which spells disaster. Try the Aloo chat to understand what I mean..The Aloo chat is nothing but a green watery mush of aloo cutlet, with extremely spicy aka nose watering spiciness..Maybe, my palate is a little too sober for this kinda spiciness, but nevertheless, it is something I won't budge from..Im apologetic to the die hard fans, but this is nothing but a Classic example of overtly unnecessary and false hype. People, I live practically a few minutes away from here and the only time I do go here is when people tell me to tag along with them.. <br/>My recommends: Get youself some packets of gol guppaes, get some jaljeera powder, have mashed potatoes with spring onions,tossed with some ginger garlic. Or better.. google the recipes rather than going here. The 2.5 is for the dahi puri which does an okayish job.. just okay... read below average..<br/>P.S : I am usually a funny person, but just the thought of SBH puts me off by the zeniths of tolerance. I just can't crack a joke.. can I? Aaah.. no I cant..

I have seen this place since my nursery school days which was the only way beyond Shankar bhel house, we are a family of 16 people and we have been visiting this place since my child hood and believe me the bhel here is just like cake melting I'm your mouth with pinch of masala and spice',my suggestion would be visit this place early 6 pm like to get the early taste And avoid the crowd, the next item on menu is Marsala puri and then Dhai puri and closing ceremony you taste with pani puri with pani extra in same plate. Try it to believe. Good day.

Brilliant chaats. A must have is their bhel puri as their name suggests.

If you are at the coles road junction and stuck in a jan, chances are they might be due to the parked vehicles opp Shankar Bhel House .. <br/>With good service and good taste there is not much you can ask for ... assuming that your expectations from a place serving chat is set at the right level.<br/>Worth a visit if street food is what you are craving for ...

First of all, great work Zomato for listing even small chat stall such as this one! Well, Shankar bhel house is apparently "world famous" in Frazer town area :-). I was at a traffic signal when I heard people talking about this place. 15 mins and a quick enquiry with my friend later, I was already there! I had to have the chat here, because although its so famous, and I ve pretty much been to all the places in the vicinity, this one I had somehow missed. The menu board is stuck right across the token counter; it lists only the items, no prices. I hope that doesn't mean they keep changing so often? Restaurant is right on the busy wheeler road/coles road junction, so dont expect parking place. The place was really crowded and certainly gave me a feeling to expect some amazing chats. I has the Masala Puri and Bhel, leaving the pani puri for another visit. The masala puri is made the typical Bangalore style, smashed puris, green peas and lots of gravy/masala. The masala tastes very different compared to other places, which perhaps is their uniqueness. The Bhel was decent, but the quantity was much less that what one would normally find in other places. Masala puri cost 25 bucks and Bhel 20. For a place that does not even have some plastic stools or chair to sit on, I found it a "little bit"costly :P
