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 ago > Very 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 ago > Hi 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., Thomas, 4 months ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5430606&lon=172.636802) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5430606,172.636802,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Bikanervala) - [Reviews on Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/Bikanervala%20458%20Colombo%20Street) - [Sydenham](https://www.chch.live/sydenham), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/8150574332), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Bikanervala?** A restaurant in Sydenham, Christchurch. **Where is Bikanervala?** 458 Colombo Street, Sydenham, on [Colombo Street](https://www.chch.live/street/sydenham/colombo-street).
