Elco Caterers

Outstanding!

Elco's panipuri is the definitive word in pani puri and chaat! I am grateful to the kind friend who introduced me to Elco's- if I lived closer to Elco's, I would be a permanent fixture here. The pani puri is absolutely outstanding! It beats every other pani puri I have ever sampled. The puris are light and super crisp with the right amount of crunch even after being filled to the brim with chutney. A reliable source tells me that the puris are fried in desi ghee. The panipuri-wala stands outside on the footpath and is ALWAYS surrounded by a swarm of pani puri lovers. The chutneys(paani) that fill the pani puri's are chilled to the perfect temperature and the holistic experience of crisp puri, warm aloo + chana mix +chilled paani is out of this world. Their pani puri's are modelled along the lines of kolkata's legendary "phuchka's" and they do great justice to them too!

Try their bhelpuri and their dahi puri which is to die for. The kulfi with falooda is also brilliant. There is something decadent about sitting outside on plastic stools on a Bandra footpath and eating something so sinfully delicious (or standing by the pani puri wala!) Having never tried sugarcane juice before, I gave into the temptation to try a glass at the stall in front of elco. Heaven...need I say more?!
