Lahore Paan Center

Over-​priced and over hyped. The owner’s wife is rude. They are charging ya 8 dollars plus tax for a damn falooda. 8 dollars for the plate of Dahi bhalla. On top of that, they have all semi-​nude DESI songs or award shows on the TV ²⁴⁄₇ which at times very inappropriate when you are sitting with the family. The place is very dirty and dingy. They rip you off. I don’t recommend this place.

Can’t believe India and Pakistan find time to fight over Kashmir’s borders instead of gulping down mass quantities of Kashmiri tea over a happy, friendly chat any chance they get.
Never having had this specific regional chai before, I thought it was just a tweaked version of your typical masala chai. WRONG. This tea uses green tea leaves, pistachios, and saffron which gives it a nice pink appearance. It looks, smells, and tastes completely different but is equally wonderful.
We also ordered a sev puri (ok) and brought out the inner «fob» by getting two paans (yummmm).
Make sure you bring cash! Also if you only order grilled corn you can’t sit inside, which is kind of a douche move on the resraurant’s part. Then again, I haven’t seen it at the peak of lunch/​dinner so maybe there’s a reason.

Pani puri was great but the woman ripped us off. She made us pay unreasonable amount of «tax»; customer service was below average.

i had paan. it was nice. the lady gave me 5 for $ 10.
Metha paan.

Beautiful and tastey Kashmiri tea!

I try to go here to get some Kashmiri Chai every time I’m in Toronto. Great stuff. I also recently tried the Bun Kebab (Desi Burger) which was also pretty good (very spicy). Definitely worth checking out this place if you are in the area of Gerrard Street.

Nice lady working here with an outdoor stall set up and small interior with seating.
This place serves up popular Indian street snacks. We ordered a «Pani Puri» for $ 6.
This comes with some small «puris» which are tiny fried bits of dough hollowed out inside, they look something like huge rice puffs. You then «stuff» the puris with a potato and chickpea mixture and dip them in some different sauces.
Slightly baffling but it was interesting nonetheless. Worth a try just for the novelty.
