This 60-Year-Old Punjabi Chhole-Bhature Shop is Quite the Rage in Bhopal; One Plate Costs Rs 70 – News18

In the heart of Madhya Pradesh’s capital city, Bhopal, food lovers can discover a wide variety of delightful eateries offering soul-satisfying cuisine. For those in pursuit of the city’s most delicious Chhole Bhature, News18 presents the story of a beloved shop, celebrated by thousands for its exquisite flavours.

Though many Chhole Bhature shops can be found in Bhopal’s New Market, Anubhav’s shop stands out.

“My grandfather started this Punjabi Chhole Bhature shop about 60 years ago. He opened this small establishment after moving to Bhopal from Ludhiana, Punjab. Later, my father took over the shop and began teaching me when I was in Class 4. Now, I manage the shop,” he told Local18.

Anubhav further said that between the 1970s and 1980s, Chhole Bhature was sold in New Market for just 60 to 70 paise. However, due to rising inflation, the price of this delicious dish has increased significantly. Currently, a plate of Chhole Bhature here costs Rs 70.

This Chhole Bhature shop in Bhopal is always bustling with customers who take time out from shopping to enjoy the dish.

“On average, 500 to 1,000 people visit the shop, and during festivals, this number increases even more. My grandfather started the shop with a wooden table, and today, thanks to our progress, we have 10 tables serving customers daily,” Anubhav said.
