Another legendary establishment in Kamla Nagar, the crowd at Gopal swears by this age-old shop, a childhood haunt for many. Although this place is famous for its Bedmi Poori, Gopal’s bread pakora is nothing less than spectacular! A huge chunk of paneer is sandwiched between a flavoursome bread with a besan batter slathered all over it. They provide a plate of chole along with the pakora which takes it to the next level - go try!
