Tanve's Kolkata Chaatt, Shastri Nagar, Andheri West

Hey foodies!

Hope you all are doing great! Thank you all for the amazing response on our Boomerang that we posted last week! We’re going to do a lot more Boomerangs from now on! Don’t miss out on the fun; follow us on Instagram for daily updates! Done with 2FoodFreaks promotion; now let’s get to the review, hihi. Today’s review is on a chaat corner that opened up recently in Shastri Nagar, Andheri West. They serve homemade and healthy chaat with flavors from Kolkata. We’re talking Tanve’s Kolkata Chaatt.

They use jaggery to sweeten the chutneys instead of sugar. They also use dates for their sweet chutneys. Only the puris for the pani puri are sourced from outside. Be it the kachori for their Raj kachori chaat, or the chutneys or spicy tangy pani for pani puris, everything here is homemade and a healthier option of the regular roadside chaat. We love the concept, and you must be wondering, usually healthy doesn’t mean extremely tasty. But let us assure you that you’ll love their chaats just like the roadside ones!

We got a couple of requests from our well-wishers to incorporate clips and videos in our blog. You request and we delivered! So here is it- Enjoy the clips and pictures! Hope you love them!

1.   Dahi Papdi Chaat: This was our first chaat that we tried here and what a hit it was! The sweet and the tangy and spicy flavors from the chutney hit you right away as you take your first bite. They use ample of dahi or yoghurt as you can see and they don’t add excess of water in the yoghurt like other vendors do. It is just so tasty!

2.   Pani Puri/Gol Gappa/ Puchka: One dish, so many names but loved by all. We can’t say no to Pani Puris can we? It is a crime to do so! They have three different pots of pani- one is sweet, one is medium spicy and the other one is very spicy. We tried one of each. The sweet one isn’t too sweet that you choke on it. It is moderately sweet. The medium one is perfect for the ones who like a mish mash of both sweet and spicy water. The third one doesn’t feel very spicy until you almost finish it. That’s when the spicy flavor hits you. The third one was our favorite but we liked all three of them to be very honest!
Pani Puri! 😍😍



3.   Jhaal Mura: Now this one is basically a Kolkata twist to your regular Bhel. They use mustard oil instead of the sweet chutney and there are peanuts too. The dominating flavor here is the mustard oil which is strong. One of us liked and the other one did not. The bhel was crispy and fresh. Their ingredients are of really good quality!

4.   Khasta Kachori Chaat: Now this one is very similar to the Dahi Papdi Chaat except this has a slight bit of mustard flavor to it. The kachori is made in-house with sprouts filling inside the kachori. The dish is yummy and full of flavor.

Yummy!




5.   Masala Pepsi: This is basically pepsi with a lot of masalas added to it. The name says it all. Again this can be a hit or a miss depending on your taste buds. This one too got a 50-50 response from our side.

Our host was Mr. Sanjeev who was very humble and polite. He told us a bit about the place and their plans for the future. He himself prepares chaat when the demand is more which is nice. The place is small with hardly 5-6 chairs. They should add more seating space as most of the people have to stand and wait for their orders to turn up. The service is slightly slow here and they should definitely improve on it. We saw people waiting for 15-20 minutes for their orders. Mr. Sanjeev told us that they are going to add a lot more dishes on their menu soon and we can’t wait to go back for more.

Food: 3.5 / 5
Ambiance: None
Service: 3 / 5
VFM: 3 / 5

2FoodFreaks recommend Dahi Papdi Chaat and Pani Puris for sure!

Bon Appetit!
