kashi chat bhandar

bakwas

one of the iconic and oldest chaat shops in varanasi. very crowded most of the time. you are lucky if you get a seat. the chats are just marvellous. tamatar chat is the best 😍 it's also unique to varanasi. next is tikki chaat. and gulab jamun is one of the best in the world 🥰 other chats are also amazing. i personally don't like their panipuri.
overall a must try place for a varanasi visit.

visited this much hyped place few days ago, the 'tamatar chaat' & tikki chaat were amazing, both of them were so good, that i couldn't differentiate which was slightly better!

however, the panipuri was below average,not as good as kolkata's 'phuchka', the kulfi falooda was good, not outstanding! overall, it was worth it!

can you afford to miss this place when you are in varanasi? chaat and this place are synonymous and its highly recc to come to this place and try out the many varieties.
please avoid the paani puri.

try tomato and palak chat ; quite unique; not available in many chat houses! panipuri is avoidable as it was tasteless ! otherwise rest of the items are quite average, easily available across the country and much better than this place. huge rush in the evening, maybe result of travel website and tv food shows that cover this restaurant.

बनारस की सबसे उत्तम आलू टिक्की पानी पुरी टमाटर चाट एक बार जरूर खाएं इससे बढ़िया पूरे प्रदेश में कहीं नहीं मिलेगी

to be honest i’m not a chat person at all (i love paani poori or fuchka/gupchup like we say it in bengali/odia) still we went here as everyone who has been to varanasi suggested this place.
i tried aloo tikki, paani puri and papdi chat. they were good but i liked paani puri the most

it was our(i and my friends) second day in benares and it delt as if we had been there for months. we had strolled around the ghats, we had experienced the magic of ganga aarti, we had had multiple boat rides upon the waters of river ganga and we had seen more temples, holy men and devotees than we had ever seen in our life before. the city just gets one in sync with their spiritual side.

the food that benares had to offer was nothing less than the divine atmosphere of the city. there is chat, there is thandai, there are poori aloo, there are samose, there is lassi and what not? though chat stands out conspicuously amongst all these dishes. people of benares can't go a day without chat and we could understand why after having had lip smacking chat at deena chat bhandar, a day before. that day we had kashi chat bhandar on our minds for the sake of trying a different outlet. it is equally popular as deena chat.

the place was immensely crowded but thanks to our luck were able to secure a table within no time. we ordered six plates of gol gappe, two plates aloo tikki, two plates dahi bhalle and two plates of tamatar chat. there were six pieces of gol gappe in each plate and were served with jaljeera water alongside. i popped one in my mouth and it didn't taste that good. the taste was very disappointing and below average. the tikkis weren't crisp and very mushy in texture. the taste was good but they lacked the essential crispness. next came dahi bhalle. it was the only snack that justified the popularity of the place. it just constituted bhalle topped with dahi and saunth, with some masala but tasted brilliant. one bite was enough to blow our minds. i could specially go to this shop just to have dahi bhalle. lastly, the tamatar chat was served.. the taste of the ghee completely overpowered all other tastes and it felt as if we were drinking oil instead of having a chat. it was too heavy on the stomach.

as far as my judgement stands kashi chat bhandar stands nowhere near in comparison to deena chat bhandar. after having had such a great time at deena a day before this was a complete let down. i expected there would be a comparison but kashi was nowhere near deena.

this place won’t disappoint you. two items which you should not miss here is the tamatar chat and palak chat.

tamatar chat hands down will be the most unique variety of chat you will ever taste.

service is quick, though you will have to manage eating standing outside since they don't have a big sitting arrangement inside.

aloo tikki was the best i've had.
pretty crowded, so taste varies from one plate to another of the same dish, but that's still good.
hygiene is not something to mention, but can be ignored once for the best taste.

i have gone to this place the food is very tasty and specially kulfi faludoo i wish to eat daily from kashi chaat bandar and every thing of it

they should send kulhad also with a little more garnish namkeen

if you are in varanasi then its a must visit place... tried all the dishes from the menu... few highlights are tamator chaat, aloo tikki chaat n palak patta chaat... all other dishes are also awesome... there's queue outside this place, but its worth the wait... dont ever leave varanasi unless you visit this place.. 😋 😋

an amazing palce to visit after coming from dasasmegha ghat. this place stays crowded so find a place for one first.
coming to the food who would have thought that tamatar and palak chat were worth trying?
the tamatar chat was amazing, the palak chat again was amazing. the dahi bhallas were also good.
a must visit in varanasi.

your visit to varanasi is incomplete if you miss to visit this place and could not complete the cravings of your street food. located at one of the prime locations and every local person recommends to eat here. very crowded due to its popularity and pocket friendly cost. there are many different chats available. i tried tamatar chaat, palat patta chaat, dahi bhalla, aloo tikki, paani puri, dahi poori and faluda kulfi (seasonal).

the main highlights were the paani poori, tamatar chaat and aloo tikki. the taste was really amazing and you actually get the feeling of chaat and street food at this place. must visit place for all the street food lovers.
