Live street food

Street food, served the way it should be

Gol gappe — or pani puri, as they're just as often called — has a very short window between perfect and soggy. That's why our counter fills every puri to order and hands it straight to the guest, rather than laying trays out to sit.

Alongside it we build samosa chaat and papdi chaat fresh at the counter: chana, dahi, tamarind and mint chutneys, sev, pomegranate and red onion, assembled bowl by bowl while people watch. Nothing is plated in advance.

The whole counter is vegetarian, eggless and halal, so it suits a mixed guest list without a separate order. It's the savoury half of what we do — and it holds a room just as well on its own as it does beside a dessert cart.

Works on its own, or alongside a dessert cart

Most clients pair the chaat counter with one of our dessert carts and let guests move between the two. But it doesn't need a partner.

We've run the counter as a standalone savoury station for clients who wanted street food and nothing sweet at all — and it carried the event comfortably. If that's your brief, say so and we'll quote it that way.

It's a particularly strong fit for mehndi nights, engagement parties and daytime events where a full sit-down meal would be too much but a buffet feels flat.

Where it works

Perfect for

Good to know

Frequently asked

What's the difference between gol gappe and pani puri?

They're the same dish under different regional names — gol gappe in North India and Punjab, pani puri in Gujarat and Mumbai, puchka in Bengal. Whichever you call it, ours is a crisp hollow puri filled to order with spiced tamarind water and eaten in one.

What's on the chaat menu?

Samosa chaat and papdi chaat, both built to order at the counter with chana, dahi, tamarind and mint chutneys, sev, pomegranate and red onion. Guests tell us what they want on theirs and we make it in front of them.

Is everything vegetarian?

Yes — the entire chaat counter is vegetarian, eggless and halal. Nut-free options are available; just let us know about any allergies or dietary requirements when you book and we'll accommodate them.

Do guests help themselves?

No, our team serves throughout. Gol gappe has a short window between filled and soggy, so every puri is filled and handed straight over. It keeps the texture right and keeps the queue moving.

Can we book the chaat counter on its own?

Absolutely. It's often paired with one of our dessert carts, but it works perfectly well as a standalone savoury station — we've run it that way for events where sweet wasn't on the brief at all.

How long do you serve for, and what do you need?

A typical service window is two hours, with about an hour beforehand to set up. We'll need enough space for the counter and we're happy to liaise with your venue in advance.
