The video received mixed reactions.
“I tried their papri-chat and golgappe, both were good. Of course, you can't compare it to our authentic street food, but it's a brave attempt,” wrote a user.
“Definitely worth the wait… The food is really delicious here,” shared another.
“The queue is long because they are quite slow in serving. Food is decent, not over the top,” pointed out one person.
“Tried their chat. Really good and reasonable,” noted an individual.
“I visited there last month. Panipuri and Chana rice bowl were good. But unfortunately, samosas were totally spoiled,” commented a critic.
“My favourite place... Proper spicy no west makeover of curries... Authentic Indian Street Food flavour” read a positive remark.
