About the dish

What you are eating

Chickpeas soaked overnight and cooked down with tea leaves for colour, anardana for sourness and a great deal of ginger. The bhature is rolled and dropped into hot oil to order, where it puffs into a balloon in about eight seconds. It deflates on the way to your table. That is normal, and correct.

Where it’s from

Chandni Chowk is the densest eating in India — a lane where the samosa man, the jalebi kadhai and the chole bhature counter have all been in the same six feet for four generations.

Before you order

Our dishes are a little spicy and spice levels cannot be customised — we cook them the way they are cooked at home. Our kitchen handles dairy, wheat, gram flour, peanuts and tree nuts. We do not offer vegan or gluten-free dishes, so guests with allergies dine at their own discretion — we are unable to take responsibility for allergic reactions. Everything is cooked in desi ghee or sunflower oil depending on the recipe.
