"From Golden temple it took us almost 45 minutes to reach Ranjeet avenue in a E rikshaw, but oh my God it was worth. Aloo pyaz kulcha was to die for, with cholle n chutney. Uday ordered lassi as well. Kulchas were crisp, fully stuffed, cholle were tasty. Throughly enjoyed the breakfast.Sach me mazaa aa gaya😊"
Cuisineo By Chef's Kitchen Caterers
"Stopped by for breakfast with family at this no-frills kulcha spot. It's a simple, unpretentious joint, but the food definitely delivered.
I had the aloo kulcha, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with well-balanced spices.
The chole served on the side was flavorful and paired really well with the kulcha.
If you're looking for an authentic and budget-friendly Punjabi breakfast, this place hits the spot."
