| - First timers: head to the back and fill out a menu, and hand it to the nice people who are making the food. The lack of signage seems to trip everyone up.
This place is hidden in the back of the Indian grocery store. This is actually fairly standard for chaat (i.e. snack) places in the U.S. Some might have more seating, some don't have the grocery store attached, but they all have delicious, mouth-watering food at decent prices.
For me, this place is hit-or-miss. Sometimes the bhel-puri is out-of-this-world, and other days it isn't even worth finishing. That's basically what turned me from a repeat customer to I'm-never-going-back. For the quality+quantity of food you get, I can't say that the price is that great, I've had way better food for way cheaper, with just about the same level and speed of service, elsewhere. Sadly, this is about the best you'll find in Tempe (for chaat, I mean).
I'll give them props for having decent pani-puri and for showing the 'rents a good time when they were here. Oh yeah, sometimes the owner or the person at the front desk is a real... grouch, to put it nicely. Not really my business (or is it??) but maybe people should learn not to glare as a routine.
Oh yeah, and their prices seem to fluctuate based on how much you spend and what you buy. I want to say this is typical of Indian grocery in the U.S. but most places are really nice and don't try to rip you.
