Once Upon a Bite - Indian street food at street prices
The name sounds like you're starting a story, and the table mats do have some funny stories on them. This restaurant has a concept of Indian street food, but the thing that this restaurant also has are the street prices! For me this is necessary which a lot of restaurants that call themselves "street food" lack. They've started in September 2018 and invited me to try out the food.
We started with the masala cola which is an Indian version of the cola with some spices. It gives a nice zesty feel to it. Here's a picture with the table mat that has its story on it.
Then we moved on to parathas which tasted home-made, and we totally loved them. The chicken keema paratha was my favourite. The gobhi paratha was pretty good too. I liked the fact that the parathas were not too thick and had a generous amount of filling to them.
If you're a fan of desi Chinese (well, who isn't?) then they've got some combos too. We had the hunan chicken with the hakka noodles. The chicken was made well and tasted delicious; the hakka noodles were comforting and had the desi taste to it.
They have wraps too and I tried the Chicken noodle wrap. This was just perfect. It was on the spicier side which I really enjoyed. The filling was ample too, and the bread (roti) was the right thickness. Also, it was huge and quite filling.
An innovative dish that I saw on the menu was the punjabi chilli sausages. I just had to try it. They've taken the regular chicken sausages, cut them into small pieces, and added an Indian touch to it. Some sliced tomatoes, onions, capsicum, and Indian spices. If you like sausages then you will definitely enjoy this dish.
For our desserts, we first had the brownie choco bliss. The brownies were gooey and served with ice-cream. I just couldn't stop after one bite.
We tried the caramel delight too. It has cake with ice-cream topped with caramel sauce and nuts. This was pretty good, though I think I liked the previous one more.
We ended our meal with the shaadi wali coffee - the kind of coffee that you get at Indian weddings. Made from the typical instant coffee (soluble coffee) used in India. It has some froth on top and a bit of coffee sprinkled over it.
Overall, I definitely recommend this place for the delicious food and the pocket-friendly prices.

They also have bread pizza, i.e. regular bread used for the pizza base. This was just like the street food in India. The dish looked really attractive. They have it in a chicken variant as well as a vegetarian. Both of them were really nice. The toppings tasted fantastic.
