Street food,
honestly made.
Fifty years ago we cooked one dish on one hand-cart. The recipe hasn't moved. Pure vegetarian, cut and cooked the day you eat it, and never a drop of food colouring.
What people come back for
The three we
are judged on.
Dahi Puri
Puri shells filled with potato, sweetened yoghurt and assorted chutneys.
Chef's pick
Spring Dosa
Dosa rolled tight around a spring-vegetable filling, cut into rounds and served with four chutneys.

Our story
From one cart
to 159th Street.
In 1975 the family started with a single hand-cart, one tawa and a bhaji that took four hours to build. People queued. The cart became a shop, the shop became a chain, and eventually the griddle reached the south-west side of Chicago.
What travelled with us is small and stubborn: masala ground for our own kitchens, vegetables cut the same morning, and a rule that nothing is coloured to look better than it tastes.
