GURU KRIPA, SION

A family run business, Guru Kripa is a favorite among the locals, students and everyone else alike. A small place with a regular décor, this place is said to serve the best street food ( namely the Mumbai special chaats with its own special Punjabi variations). Crowded almost the whole day, you will never find place to sit without a wait for almost 5-10 minutes. But the food here is totally worth the wait and all the other problems you face in reaching here.

So coming to the food without much delay, we ordered the specialty ( the thing Guru Kripa is most famous for) – Samosa Chole. This plate is pure delight! The samosas are layered with chole and served with sweet chutney and freshly cut onions. And you will find this plate on almost every table. The second plate we ordered was Ragda Pattice ( or Chole Tikki as it is rightly called!) So again this is the pattice of our ragda pattice served with chole instead of our regular ragda as we get at the pani puri stalls. And lastly we ordered Chole Bhatura (you can’t go to a Punjabi place and come out without savoring this dish can you?) They serve chole bahture with salad, raita and papad…..personal recommendation because their Boondi Raita served with this dish is to die for!!!!

And thus concluding, the food was excellent, the staff efficient enough to handle the crowd but a little overworked by the looks of it and your satisfaction level = 100%.

Ambience: 3/5 ( especially if you are too choosy about the places where you eat)

Service : 3.5/5

Food : 4/5 ( only because certain items weren’t available when asked for)

Weight on your pocket : friendly !!!
