Punjabi Snacks - Kolkata

This place is a heritage for me because since last 10 years whenever I am in New Market, I have always preferred this place. Yes we've always known Street food isn't exactly hygienic but then who can resist a plate of Magical soft, fluffy bhatura with spicy chole? Trust me it's absolutely fine to try their food once in a while if you are in a mood to save money on food and spend on clothes while shopping in new market. One can also opt for the fresh delicious fruit juice. My personal favourite is Mausambi juice. :

A well known and old street food shop in new market area. Serves mainly south indian foods like, dhosa, utta pam, dahi vada and you will also get fresh fruit juice. Only vegetarian foods are available. Outdoor seating arrangements are available, though the place is not clean neither hygienic. This is the only minus point they have. Foods are tasty, service is fast and very much pocket friendly.

I have had been to New Market area even before I started walking. Well yea, my mom's favourite shopping destination is this jam packed area. As I grew up, I disliked visiting those saree shops but nevertheless I had to join as there was none to take care of me back home. On those visits, I developed a liking for street foods and wanted to try, but, like all over concerned parents I was never allowed.<br/ Few years forward, and, I just happened to complete my schooling. After my exams, I visited here as I was supposed to watch a movie. After the movie, I felt like roaming the jam packed area of New Market I once hated and all the childhood memories got refreshed. The first thing that came to my mind was Street Food!<br/ Slowly and steadily walking towards the stall, I stood still thinking what to say. Amazingly, I didn't have to wait much and they asked me to sit on rakes used to store soft drinks bottle (and, that's how they got their name, I guess). I quickly ordered for Chole Batura and it got served almost instantly.<br/ The stall is situated on the footpath just opposite to Hogg Market entrance gate. It is opposite to the place where cars are parked and the vendors sells all types of stuffs, keeping the stuffs on the parked cars.<br/ The food I was served was exceptionally good. Was it the sole taste of the food or the fact that I tried street food for the first time added to the effect is debatable. But, I still remember licking my fingers after having Chole Batura over there. The staff were cool and they kept on asking if I wanted something and I kept on nodding in denial.<br/ I visited it almost six years back and it's indeed strange that I never visited it again to form a mature opinion. <br/ And yes, it's not a bar, as the name might suggest.<br/ <br/ Qs) Should you visit it?<br/ Ans) If you aren't allergic to street food, then definitely you should be there.<br/ <br/ Qs) Why have I rated them 4 stars?<br/ Ans) Solely on the taste of the food. But, as it is located on footpath, cleanliness always remains an issue. Thus, I have deducted half a star.

Pepsi Snacks Bar is not a veey well known name if tou name this place but if you give description I am sure nobody in the city will hardly not know them. <br/ <br/ Famous for their Chola bhatura this place is a loved by masses. If you are at Esplanade you must try this place. Along with that we have south indian food options as well which are equally tasty as well. Fresh fruit juices are also available for refreshment as well.

I had been visiting this shop since my childhood...atleast 25 years back...serving a pocket friendly and very tasty chole Bha ture. ..presently selling some other snacks as Dosas idly...juice etc..Workers are very friendly and courteous. ..I went there during the puja time with my family...I think that they are one of the highest chole Bha ture selling road side food stall in kolkata..<br/ <br/ ..
