Very good and authentic Indian food. The chole bhature were spicy and flavourful, and the paneer paratha was well stuffed - both 5/5. They also make excellent eggless pastried. The pani puri was a slight disappointment with stale puris.
Mihir, 2 months agoVery disappointing experience with our takeaway order from Bikaner. We ordered 2 plates of Vada Pav and 2 Bombay Grill Sandwiches, but the sandwiches were nothing like an authentic Bombay sandwich. As shown in the photos, it looked like the same potato filling used for the Vada Pav was simply stuffed inside the sandwiches. Instead of a proper Bombay grill sandwich with balanced vegetables and flavor, it was just thick potato mixture with a few roughly cut vegetables, cucumber, tomato, and excessive mayonnaise. The sandwich was poorly prepared, messy, and lacked the authentic taste and quality
JIGAR GAJJAR, 5 months agoHi I did try ambarsari Kulcha .it was actually aloo pratha not Ambarsari kulcha clearly see in photo attached. She was nice at the counter desk but give her proper break she was eating while serving customer, hygiene should be maintained.Do not recommend.
