70 years of iconic pani puri
Started way back in the 1950s, Bhagwati Pani Puri began as a small family-run stall. What makes it truly special is that even after all these years, the taste hasn’t changed. The recipe, the style, and the warmth remain the same, which is why people from different corners of the city still flock to Kachiguda just for a plate here.
The never-ending crowd
Every evening from 5 pm to 6:30 pm, the street outside the stall is buzzing. Long lines of people wait patiently, knowing the wait is worth it. Students, office-goers, and families all gather with the same excitement to enjoy that unforgettable burst of flavours.
Simple menu, legendary taste
The menu is short but iconic. A plate of pani puri costs just Rs. 20, and the equally popular ragda puri comes at Rs. 30. Each bite is a mix of crisp puris, spiced stuffing, and pani that has just the right balance of tang and spice. The ragda version, with its hot chana mix, is equally addictive.
