The Man Behind This

Gopal Kumar, the owner has been selling this amazing and delicious plate of Chole Kulche for 15 years and before him, his father and grandfather used to sell this. Gopal Kumar’s father fell ill as a result he had to take the responsibility of his family on his shoulders.

He said, ‘I learnt how to make Chole Kulche while growing up. My father used to make Imli chutney that people loved. So when he retired, I didn’t want to disappoint his customers, so I also started making this dish and now people like our flavours even more.’
