Celebrating the world-famous Indian snack food, which is believed to have originated on the streets of Uttar Pradesh in the 17th Century. Bringing in their very own Chaatwala, rolling the cart around, ringing a bell to let guests know they are ready for Chaat-making – Farzi Café diners can simply call over and sample any of the nine chaats on offer.
From Chowpatty Pe Bhel Puri & Waffle straight off the beaches of Mumbai and Delhi Ki-Raj Kachori a crispy semolina shell stuffed with cooked pumpkin and sweet yoghurt; to Mexican Gol Gappe hollowed shell filled with avocado mash infused with tasty condiments and spices, to famous Punjabi samosas mushed then topped with chickpeas and a tangy sweet sauce – the chaat menu will follow the Farzi style of taking guests across Indian one bite at a time.
Other highlight chaats include Gujrat Nu Khandvi Aane Dhokla Chaat, a leavened gram flour cake flavored with crackled mustard and curry leaves. Made live at the table in traditional chaatwala fashion, expect snacking with plenty of theatre on the side. Whichever chaat takes the fancy, all can be washed down with an array of Mumbai-special cutting chai’s. Literally translating as “1/2 a cup of tea”, this on-the-go hot drink is a perfect taste bud teaser along with a lip-smacking chaat for those nipping in pre or post shopping. Farzi Café’s Chaat Menu is available 5-7pm daily at Mall of the Emirates and City Walk and is priced at AED25 per Chaat.
