However, he found the prices to be rather expensive, as he said, "Thoda mehenga ho gaya bhai." The plate of chole bhature costs 1200 yen (approx Rs 660) and the pani puri costs 770 yen (approx Rs 425, as per current exchange rates). He points out that you can get pani puri in Mumbai for only Rs 20. Nevertheless, he says "Chole bhature was really tasty. Bahut achchha laga [I liked it a lot]."
After his meal, the vlogger and his companion visited a desi "kirana dukan" (a type of grocery store). He tried samosa and gulab jamun there. He called the latter "the sweetest food in the world" as he found the level of sweetness too much for his taste. After this outing, the duo went to a famous Indian restaurant for dinner, where they relished North Indian delicacies. They enjoyed unlimited naan with different gravies.
