What people say, in short
Jain Chaat Bhandar in Hazratganj is strongly recommended for chaat, with one first-hand visitor calling it the best in town and many preferring it to the more hyped Royal Cafe. Long-time regulars speak well of it: one says the curd and other ingredients are high in quality and quantity, and another says every menu item is excellent, with matar a personal favourite. The caveats: a few commenters find it overrated or overhyped, preferring Shukla Chaat or Prem's chaat in Chowk instead, and one mixed view advises avoiding weekends.
