The Punjabi Samosa stuffed with aloo, paneer and peas are the most popular snacks at the place.These crisp delights are made fresh and are not as oily as one would expect them to be. After the samosas, a must have are the aloo and gobi parathas. The parathas served with a generous helping of butter and pickle are truly a gastronomical delight.
