Master Critic Review

Eggholic 8.0
Niles
Fast-casual Indian street food that’s strongest in its sandwich-and-chaat lane, where spice, crunch, and tang balance without needing a full sit-down meal. The move is to order one hot handheld plus one cold/chaat item so everything stays punchy instead of heavy.
Must-Try Dishes: Pav Bhaji, Paneer Masala Sandwich, Dahi Puri
