kashi chat bhandar

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.tamatarchat 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.

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 oftamatarchat. 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, thetamatarchat 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 thetamatarchat 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.

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 thattamatarand palak chat were worth trying?
thetamatarchat 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 triedtamatarchaat, palat patta chaat, dahi bhalla, aloo tikki, paani puri, dahi poori and faluda kulfi (seasonal).

the main highlights were the paani poori,tamatarchaat 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.

recently was in varanasi with my friends so visited this place as it towards day end so we were not able to have different varieties, we orderedtamatarchat and aloo tikki chat. the aloo tikki chat was good in taste ,tamatarchat could have been more good to taste lipsmacking.

this place is near dhashashwmedh ghat. i felt the actual taste of chat here. their varieties of chat will amaze your tongue. you can completely satisfy your street food craving here and is pocket friendly. this place is always crowded because of its popularity and the taste they offer. i tried there
1.tamatarchat - the tangy flavours mixed with the flavour of desi ghee was beyond imagination.
2. samosa chat - crispy, tangy and utterly delicious.
3. tikki chat - best tikki chat i ever had. perfect spicy, tangy and crispy.
tamatar chat, dahi puri, gulab jamun is a must try. a little attention to the cleanliness would make it the real treat. your visit to varanasi would be incomplete without having snacks at this place.
kashi chat bhandar

after reading reviews i went to visit kashi chat bhandar on my last day of stay in varanasi. highly disappointed with taste and hygin.
yesterday's experience with dina chat was fabulous.
i orderedtamatarchat, palak chat, aaloo tikki and kulfi.tamatarchat was worst can't believe they are founder of this chat as mentioned in previous reviews.

importantly,tamatarchat we found insect as can be seen in attached photo.

all the chats have same sweet yogurt and sweet chutney taste which overshadows all other tastes.

well, if you feel hungry post visit to dashashevmedh ghat or kashi vishwanath temple, then simply walk down to kashi chat bhandaar.

very small shop, which is always jam - packed with people. if you want to sit down and enjoy the chat, then wait for couple of minutes for a bench to get vacant.

then you can ordertamatarchaat, or palak patta chat, dahi puri, or in winters chura matar. to satisfy your sweet tooth, indulge in gulab jamuns or kulfi falooda.

within 100/- you can have and get your tummy full and get going to further explore banaras..

this little gem is hidden in the tiny lanes of varanasi! if you are a chaat lover, you will love this place. it's a small shop which attracts alot of tourists. being one of the oldest shops, its serves traditional delicious chaat, best being theirtamatarchaat and paani puri. a must visit when in varanasi!

varanasi is famous for its street food. this place is located in the main market area of the city, that is, godowlia. kashi chat bhandar, being one of the oldest and best chat serving place, is a must visit. andtamatarchat is a must have.

we hadtamatarchat and samosa chat. both were good but i liked thetamatarchat more. it was lipsmacking ,tangy, chilly the perfect combo soothing the taste buds.

brilliant food—especially loved the chura matar andtamatarchaat! wish the place was a little more hygienic given the number of customers coming in each hour.

went to this place after a long time. we ordered pani puri,tamatarchat, palak chat and dahi puri. the only thing better than average was palak chat. all the other items were average at best. there was no hygiene, bottle served to us was drenched in potato and pani puri water and when we asked to change it was cleaned by tissue paper with that too poorly. pani puri was only sour and did not have any other taste.tamatarchat was more like a vegetable. when we asked the waiter why is it not good. he said we are short of sone ingredients. definitely not a sign of a landmark shop. you should let people know when your food is not going to taste the same instead of serving whatever you have. this was a really bad experience.

if you like chaat and looking for a variety of options then you should try this chaat bhandar, i have triedtamatarchaat and palak patta chaat, i was happy with the flavour and uniqueness.
