Experience authentic Chhole Bhature at Indian Grill. Fluffy, golden deep-fried bhature paired with a richly spiced chickpea curry made with traditional Punjabi masalas. A classic North Indian street food dish that's satisfying and full of flavour.
Chhole Bhature is one of North India's most iconic street food dishes and a beloved item at Indian Grill. This classic Punjabi combination features fluffy, deep-fried bhature (leavened bread) served alongside a generous portion of chhole — a richly spiced chickpea curry simmered with onions, tomatoes, and a blend of traditional masalas.
Our chhole are slow-cooked until the chickpeas are perfectly tender and the sauce is thick and flavourful. The bhature are fried to order — golden, puffy, and irresistibly crispy on the outside while soft and pillowy inside. Served with pickled onions and green chutney, it's a satisfying meal that captures the essence of Punjabi street food culture.
Indian Grill brings the authentic flavours of Delhi and Amritsar's street food scene to Vancouver Island. Our Chhole Bhature is prepared using traditional recipes and cooking methods — from the overnight-soaked chickpeas to the hand-rolled bhature dough. It's a taste of India you won't find elsewhere in Nanaimo.
