Foodies Delight - Sum's take on Best in Town (Chandigarh)

This is my take on best food in town...where and how ? (Chandigarh and around...)

Masala dosa - ISBT 17 Chef (dont forget to ask for their special tomato sauce)

Dosas (Masala, veg, cheese, egg), Idlis, Vadas - Indian Coffee House, 17 (very traditional, waiters still wear those white dresses and take bills out of their pockets)

Dahi Bhalla - Sagar Ratna, 17 (luv those green chillies on top)

Chinese Soups - Shangri La, Mohali (donn knw the phase and sec, but ther'z only one shangi in mohali). Also try at Chinese restaurant at Purple floor of Shivalik View. Excellent view of Chandigarh Greens. Must try Degchi in Sec 8 market. Just sit in your car in the parking and honk, one of the waiters will greet you.

Dimsums / Momos' - Yo China, Sec 9 serves good ones. Though i like of Sandhya's in rehri market, sec 7 panchkula. (Try some local small shops in Dharamshala, HP if you happen to go there, they serve excellent mutton momo's)

Chinese Combos' - Yo China again ....Try Schenezwen and Hong Kong chicken combo with rice. Shangri La sec 35 serves yummy American Choupsey.

Maggii - (where does this come from) - Head to MOCHA sec 26, they serve different variants of Maggii, though it burns a hole in your pocket. Enjoy longue attitude and dont forget there flavoured Hukkas...

Paranthas' - Rehri at sec 16 (just outside general hospital 16, opp sec 10). Catch here is that u can catch this guy from 10 pm to 5 am only. Also for all u, cigg buffs, u can get ur stock here all night long. enjoy alloo ka parantha or egg ka parantha.

Tea...(yes chai..) - Ask anyone in Sec 17 and he will vouch for Sethi ki Chai...near CMC, compliment it with bread pakora or samosa.

Amritsari Kulcha - a shop in sec 9 panchkula market. serves alloo, gobi and paneer kulcha with chane and chutney. (beware - owner is a short tempered guy) and yes dont forget to catch a glass of sweet lassi from vijay diary along side.

Alloo Puri/ Chane Bhature - Sindhi Sindhi Sindhi Sindhi Sindhi @ 17

Pastas - Try Manor 26 or Noodle bar 26 (pennee arbarita is gud).

Thai Food - Noddle Bar 26 or Purple Rice 35 (near hotel heritage)

Mexican - HM's salad bar (try their spicy variants)

Chicken Lollypops - HM's Down 17 under or Blue Ice 17

Chicken Frankie / Kathi Rolls - Hot Stopper 17

Golgappee, chat, tikki - Sec 23 market, sec 17 panchkula, Gopal's is not bad at all (though u have to help ur self here). Must try in ambala (dont knw the bazaar's name ...they serve 7 different variants of paani with golgappee...)

Milk shakes - Sec 10 market (u can mango shake all year around, chocolate and banana shake are good too)

Rajma Chawal - Sweet shop in sec 8 market, chd (just next to degchi) serves good samosas too

Samosas - Sec 8 sweet shop (in the market next to degchi... try wid chane), sweet shop in anand theater complex 17 and muskan 17 serves good ones too.
