Virpur - Gujarati street food
Missing the desi Gujarati street food? Here's a place that will satisfy your cravings. It shares its name with the town that it comes from - Virpur. It has started very recently and they invited me for some lovely street-food.
The all time favourite gujju thing to munch on is the fafda and gathiya. They make these fresh here, and when you have it with the various pickles and chutneys, you are sure to miss home.
Then we had the chips sandwich. The chips refer to the french fries just the way people know it back home. It is available in an open version and as a roll too. I really liked both of these. You can ask them to have it made extra spicy if you like.
If you're a fan of cheese (who isn't?), then the cheese garlic pav is something that might interest you. The ample amount of cheese in this garlicy bread is what keeps you going at it.
One of the best comfort food is the Pav Bhaji, and of-course we had to try it out here. This was also pretty good; it was a tad bit different than what I usually eat, but good nonetheless.
Another classic street food item is the dabeli. Not a lot of places have it, but those who are aware about it, are big fans. The good thing that I liked about the one served here is that it had ample amount of filling in it. With the crispy sev on the sides, it tasted delicious.
How about some chaats to satisfy your taste-buds? Obviously, you cannot omit the pani-puri. The 'pani' was spicy and that why I ended up liking it a lot. We had the one with potato.
They also have the basket chaat which not many places serve. It has a mix of various chaat items inside and is topped with curd. As usual, breaking the basket is not the easiest part, but the taste is pretty good.
They also have a mini thali, and change the dishes every day. On this day, they had a paneer sabji and the paneer was soft and tasted really nice.
Your meal would be incomplete without this all-time classic form the college days - barf ka gola (ice gola). You can see them shave the ice in front of you, and it is a nostalgic experience. You can have it on a stick or in a bowl, with the flavours of your choice.
The prices are extremely reasonable, and the place also is quite small with very limited seating . The food might seem a tad bit heavy in the end.
It is a bit hard to find and getting a parking would be almost impossible. If you're in the gold souq area already, then it would be a fantastic option, otherwise a home delivery would be the best bet.
