SRI DURGA CHATS AND JUICE - VIJAYNAGAR





This month I thought I’ll try out another new restaurant for reviews but then decided why not review a place I frequent every month and one which I love?

Sri Durga chats and Juice is tiny place located in Vijaynagar, very close to the vijaynagar metro station. After my music classes, I always head here for their awesome chats and they have quite a variety on offer. I stick to the tried and tested…I start with the dahi aloo chat and follow it up with the tomato chaat which the best I’ve had in a long time. Same order every month.

I keep thinking I should try many of their other stuff but I end up craving for the same two dishes every time. Those who love tomato should give the tomato chaat a try. The puffed rice they use as a topping is crispy and crunchy and goes well with the sliced tomatoes.

Ingredients are fresh and the person who makes it customizes it to order and hardly any waiting time.

Sometimes when I’m thirsty I go for the masala lime soda. Usually I get a dahi cutlet as a takeaway to snack on later and it is delish! I’ve also tried their fries, sandwich , burgers and vada pav as takeaways. So far not one single item I’ve had from here…either the chats or the other snacks or the drinks have disappointed me which is why I always go back to the same place month after month. As a personal preference, I like their chats over other snacks.

I must mention the magnanimous gesture by the person who runs the shop. I had once ordered some snacks as takeaway but left the parcel behind. Once I reached home which is the other end of the city, I discovered that I had forgotten to take the snacks. I did call the number and informed the owner about it but nothing could be done as it was too far away to go back and collect it. At my next visit nearly a MONTH later, the owner offered to deduct the price of the previously ordered snacks from my current bill as I dint get to eat them, despite the fact that it was my fault that I forgot. I refused but was really touched by the gesture. That’s customer service for you. He gets a 5/5 for that.

There’s minimum indoor seating arrangement and the place is clean though sometimes I get disturbed by flies. Prices are reasonable. This is definitely a place to check out if you are in the area and in a mood for a quick snack.
