Yummy snacks and fried goodiness only at Snack Street, Alipore!
If the likes of KFC and Mc Donald have bored you to eternity, worry not much! There’s a new kid in town, and they specializes in presenting American Street Food with a Desi Indian twist. Opened as a mere take-away and delivery joint, this particular restaurant/food outlet has flourished ever since and is now a talk of the town. The location might be a bit tricky, but if you know where Paris Café is at Alipore, you would find Snack Street just beside the same. The outlet is a small one, which used to house an ATM before. Hardly 6-7 people can stand comfortably without brushing each other. However, apparently being a soul food joint, people do not really need to sit and have the meals.
A restaurant located next door, the main business model is mostly home delivery which keeps this place throughout the entire day. The patrons mostly include the youngsters and middle aged people who may be looking for a quick lunch alternative, but not spend something expensive. B urgers, Wraps, Nuggets, Wings, Momos, Cold Drinks; this little place has them all. For someone who wishes to do some savings, the combo offers are also up for grabs. Team #panchphoron was invited for an extensive food tasting session. Little did we know the bundle of joy awaiting us!
1) Chicken egg snack street wrap:
(A unique combination of egg and chicken marinated in our special sauce and grilled in a roomali roti)
Undoubtedly, the best of all the items we had tried. A lovely combination of juicy and crispy fried chicken with egg to mix with the special sauce. The roomali roti was more like the wrap you get for Shwarma. The Roti was crispy and fluffy, adding to the crispy texture. This adaptation of fried chicken was so good, that I made my way back to this place the following day and bought two of them to have back home.
2) Fried chicken
(Chicken marinated with our in-house fusion of special masalas and deep fried to provide that extra crunchy affair)
More of a familiar name/item you may easily see elsewhere. However, what sets apart the fried chicken from this place is the juicy chicken, the crispy texture from the outside, and the thin and flavorful batter. Fried deep to perfection, the masala which was sprinkled on top, really tickled our tastebuds.
3) Chicken tandoori wrap-
(A fusion of european style chicken with the indian tandoori flavour wrapped in a roomali roti and grilled)
A desi modification to the erstwhile fried chicken. This one had tandoori flavors, dusted and sprinkled all over the fried chicken. The chicken portion was then wrapped inside a crisp and soft romali roti and then grilled to perfection.
4) Chicken &Cheese garlic bread-
(Get hooked to this combination of garlic bread infused with dallops of cheese and chicken marinated with our in-house masala and grilled)
With Dominos ruling the Garlic Bread Market, this one here did not stand up to the expectation. May be because, the bar raised by the fried chicken adaptions did not match with this one. Not a bad preparation though, somewhere I felt that the quantity of cheese was very less. A bit more brushing of flavors like oregano and flakes, would have made wonders.
Veg menu-
1) Veg Mexican wrap-
(A roomali roti infused with vegetable patty made of potato, corn, peas and special masala marinated with combination of sauces giving it a tangy and spicy taste, wrapped and grilled thus a low-oil affair )
For any given person, differentiating this wrap with a standard non-veg wrap would be extremely difficult. The patty was succulent, crispy and well made. The flavors blended in really well, and the combination of potato, corn, peas, tossed with the masala created a heavenly patty altogether. The sauces too were heavenly and imparted a sweet, sour and tangy flavor to the wrap. A delight for the vegetarian lovers.
2) Fried Veg Momo-
(Deep fried dumplings filled with vegetables severed with a spicy dip)
A quintessential Tibetian delicacy, perhaps this is one of those popular street food adapted from abroad. The vegetables were fresh, and the momos were fried till light brown with a crispy texture on the outside. The sauce was sweet and tangy, and complemented the Momos well.
Let there be no doubt, this is the best place in town serving American fast food at cheap and affordable rates. A much needed relief for those who run tight when it comes to their pocket money, the food here is cheap, yet gives you good value for money. The owner himself is present in the outlet most of the times and caters to the needs of every customers, whether they walk in or opts for home delivery or take-away. The place might be a small one, but they have been filling in the hearts and tummies of more happy souls any other place could probably only imagine.
