Gujarati snacks, sweets, and street food like pani puri
"Surati Farsan Mart can feel a little chaotic when you first walk in. It’s always packed with people drinking tea and eating chaat, which means you’ll probably have to wait in a long line and fight for a table. But the South Indian sweets and snacks here make the whole experience worth it. They serve hot, spiral-shaped jalebi coated in bright orange sugar syrup, saffron-dusted spheres of deep-fried ladoo, and our favorite pan puri in town. When you finally reach the counter, they’ll price everything by the pound. We usually get a tray of Indian street food to eat on the sidewalk patio and a gift box full of chocolate rose coconut rolls to take home." - nikko duren, brant cox
"Tantalizing methai (sweets) and chat (snacks) are what it’s all about at Surati Farsan Mart, a stylish shop specializing in Gujarati-style nibbles since 1986. The pani puri are beautifully made delicate whole-wheat shells filled with mung beans, potatoes, and jaljira, a cool liquid imbued with herbs and spices, and drizzled with chutneys." - Eater Staff
"The Surati Farsan Market is ideal for getting Gujarati farsan (salty snacks) and other treats to-go. Whether one is hoping to grab sweets to share or snacks for later, there are plenty of options, and helpful staff who are happy to guide folks through the offerings." - Virali Dave

"Surati Farsan Mart's khandvi are silky, tightly coiled chickpea-flour-and-yogurt rolls garnished with cilantro, black mustard seeds, and grated unsweetened coconut, with heat coming from fresh chiles and ginger in the batter — sold by the pound, they're irresistibly spicy and nearly impossible to stop eating." - Eater Staff
