About Pani Puri

Pani puri is a small, crisp hollow puri filled with potato or chickpeas and dipped into spiced, tangy water. You eat each one in a single bite, and the stall owner keeps filling them until you say stop.

Regional versions

It goes by many names: golgappa in Delhi and the north, puchka in Kolkata, where the water is sharper and the filling is mashed potato, and pani puri in Mumbai and Gujarat, where a sweet date chutney often goes in too.

What to order with it

Ask for a sweet or extra spicy pani. Finish with a dry sukha puri, a puri with masala and lemon, or move on to bhel puri or dahi puri.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
