After long time, me & my friend had jhalmuri & belpuri. Absolutely good. The salemen are really good

This place is something else. Their food is very good. The fuchka is top notch and 100% the best fuchka that I have had. The bhelpuri is on par with the fuchka and very good. We also took mango chaat and guava chaat but couldn’t take a picture because it was so good (warning: the chaat’s aren’t for the weak of stomach). We also took the cha which was so good my mom had 3 of them. The people working there are very nice! The vibe of the place is good. On the sidewalk leading up to it, there is another little “chain” of fuchka restaurants who were just trying to bring us over and cat calling. So compared to that fuchka truck, this one is worth it.

I’ve spent multiple afternoons trying all the fuchka carts on this block, and Tong is my definitive winner. The tamarind was better at some of the other carts (this is more of a personal preference), but none of them matched the spice mix/filling of Tong’s. The difference in taste is very noticeable, and they overall they delivered the most satisfying bite of fuchka of the lot. Their service was also noticeably better.
