Sardar Ji Ke Mashoor Chhole Bhature
The name says it all and rightfully so! Sardar Ji Ke Mashoor Chhole Bhature has been in the city longer than the leaders of our country and we’ve always been absolutely bowled over. This place is near Novelty cinema crossing at Lalbagh but there are three shops with the same name next to each other, which makes it difficult to identify the original shop.
But you’ll know once you see the flocking crowds and of course, the aroma of the fresh bhature being fried or the chole being tossed in spices. While here, try out their Chole-Bhature of course, but we’d also recommend the halwa after you’re done with your meal. A good option for breakfast, this place will never have you disappointed.
