What to expect
Our Loaded Dabeli is a Kutchi-style bun loaded with sweet-spicy potato mash, peanuts, pomegranate and signature chutneys. It is a handheld snack, rich and layered, at one of the lowest prices on the menu.
02
Why it works in Ottawa
Very few places in Ottawa serve dabeli, which makes it a good choice for anyone who has already tried vada pav and wants to try a Kutchi snack. Its sweet and spicy flavour is different from other street foods and is easy to enjoy.
03
Before you order
Loaded Dabeli is $5.49 CAD on our menu.
- It is sweeter than vada pav, with a warm spice.
- It is a snack-sized portion, so many people order two.
- Eat it warm, while the bun is still crisp.
04
What to order with it
A cup of chai is the classic partner, since the sweetness and spice both pair with it.
- Kadak Chai, $4.49
- Vada Pav, $5.49
- Masala Soda, $5.99
05
When it hits the spot
It is a good order when:
- you want something sweet and spicy at once
- you like crunch in every bite
- you want a cheap, filling snack
- you want to try a Gujarati street food that is less well known than vada pav
