Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned street food enthusiast, this guide will introduce you to some of the most popular and irresistible Indian street food dishes.
Samosas – A Timeless Favourite
Samosa is one of India’s most iconic street foods, known for its crispy, golden exterior and flavourful filling. Traditionally filled with spiced potatoes, peas, and occasionally minced meat, samosas are a perfect snack to start your Indian street food journey. Their crunchy texture and spicy, savoury filling make them an irresistible choice for those seeking comfort food with a kick.
At Five Rivers Restaurant, we serve samosas using the finest ingredients, ensuring the right balance of spices and a perfect crunch with every bite. They’re the ideal snack to share with friends or enjoy as a pre-meal appetizer.
Papri Chaat – A Burst of Tangy Flavour
If you’re looking for something tangy and refreshing, Papri Chaat is a must-try. Made with crisp, fried dough wafers known as papris, this dish is topped with spiced potatoes, chickpeas, yogurt, and tamarind chutney. It’s an explosion of flavours that balances sweetness, sourness, and spice in every bite.
The beauty of Papri Chaat lies in its combination of textures: the crunch of the papris, the creaminess of the yogurt, and the tangy sweetness of tamarind chutney. At Five Rivers Restaurant, we serve this street food classic with a gourmet twist, ensuring each bite offers a unique, elevated experience.
Aloo Tikki – Crispy Comfort Food
Aloo Tikki is a street food favourite, made from spiced mashed potatoes shaped into patties and fried to golden perfection. With a crispy exterior and soft centre, it’s often served with tangy tamarind chutney, spicy mint sauce, or creamy yoghurt.
For a heartier twist, it’s topped with chickpea curry, blending sweet, spicy, and tangy flavours in every bite. Aloo Tikki is the ultimate comfort snack, perfect for satisfying cravings any time of day.Why Choose Five Rivers Restaurant for Your Street Food Experience?
