Kailash Parbat Santa Clara

Pav Bhaji

Mumbai's defining street dish — a thick, deeply spiced vegetable mash served with butter-toasted bread rolls that soak up every bit of the gravy

Pani Puri

Hollow semolina shells filled tableside with tangy tamarind-spiced water, a bite-sized explosion of sour, sweet, and spice

Dal Pakwan

Sindhi breakfast classic — slow-cooked chana dal served with crispy deep-fried flatbread and tamarind and mint chutneys

Sai Bhaji

Sindhi soul food — a thick, comforting stew of spinach, lentils, and vegetables that tastes like it came from someone's grandmother's kitchen

Bhel Puri

Puffed rice tossed with onions, tomatoes, sev, and tangy chutneys — light and bright, a good starter before heavier mains

Dahi Puri

Crispy puris topped with chickpeas, potatoes, whipped yogurt, and layered chutneys — a cooler, creamier counterpoint to the pani puri

Chole Bhature

Spiced chickpea curry with deep-fried puffed bread — satisfying and heavy, best as a standalone lunch rather than part of a spread

Aloo Tikki Chaat

Crispy pan-fried potato patties topped with yogurt, chutneys, and sev — a reliable execution of a North Indian street classic

Masala Chai

Spiced milk tea made with the right ratio of ginger and cardamom — a proper end to a chaat-heavy meal
