"Crispy phuchka served tableside is a showstopper: servers poke a hole in golf ball–sized, hollowed, deep-fried bread balls and stuff them with black chickpeas, potatoes, and chutneys, then ladle a spicy, slightly sour chilled broth into each ball before handing them over. The interplay of textures — the crunch of the shell, the soft chew of the potatoes, and the silky, tamarind-laced broth — creates a one-bite experience the reviewer knew they wouldn’t soon forget." - Eater Staff
