My go-to spot for pani puri and masala puri. All the other items are great too, I’ve sampled the whole menu! Love the flavours and effort put into bringing the flavors together, it feels like a party in your mouth. I was a regular here after a tiring school day (I studied at Sophias, a few blocks away). Wish I could go back to those times! Their paranthas are delicious and can be paired with a glass of spicy chaas for a scrumptious, satisfying meal on a busy work day. I’ve always felt like for such delicious food, the location does no justice (all tucked away deep inside High Point, away from the hustle and bustle outside), but the regulars come so frequently that it makes up for not catching one’s eye. There are no tables to relax and enjoy the food but the food itself just makes up for that! Well what more can I say? If you’re reading this, do head there when you can. Gangotree never disappoints!

The best chaat ever. The papdi remains crispy even after the generous toppings. The pani puri is one of the best in town. Absolutely divine. Would dedicate recommend.

I haven’t done a chaat review for what feels like ages. What with the pandemic and lockdowns etc, things like eating chaat outside took a backseat. I must have passed Gangotree located at Highpoint, in Race course road a million times and yet I never felt like eating chaat there. I did try their outlet in Mantri mall and it dint meet my expectations. Had recently been in the area and though I’d give this a go. The place, though has been around for ages, is tucked away amongst the offices and rather formal surroundings – bare, old, dimly lit, musty look and feel about it but don’t let that put you off. Before I get into what I ordered, I must mention this is not the kind of place where a group of friends can sit around and chat and laugh for hours. More like a “eat and be quick about it” kind of place. There is literally no seating except for a few plastic stools and hardly any space to sit. Don’t let THAT put you off either. I started off with a dahi samosa, I hadn’t had a samosa in ages and let alone one with dahi. It was delicious. Just the right amount of spices, crisply crushed samosa and perfect blend with the curd and masalas. I could easily eat this daily. This was followed by the pani puri which was also good but usual. Topped this with a melt in the mouth sweet gulab jamun which balanced out the spicy fare. I did get ragda pattice as takeway and that was surprisingly filling and very tasty too. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!! Especially the bhel. And maybe one day their parathas which they serve with curd and pickle. They do have a collection of sweets but not a huge range and some savories to munch on – mostly a wide range of khakras. Service is fast. Prices are okay. What this place is badly in need of is good seating arrangements and a better view. I can’t say better location being high point IS a great location for eateries but there is something so cold about this chaat place over warm and welcoming food joints. A big minus for using plastic spoons, though the chaat plates, are biodegradable. They could do with switching to wooden spoons. They also do need to make themselves more visible, you know, put themselves out there I feel, to attract more crowd because the food here is worth visiting for at least once . I am definitely going back to try their other items. Overall rating 3/5

I took parcel of Samosas and it was spoilt. Did not expect this. Even though they charge way too much the quality is very poor
