About This Dish

Pani Puri, also known as Golgappa in North India, is the ultimate Indian street food experience. These bite-sized explosions of flavor feature crispy, hollow puris filled with a tantalizing mixture of spiced water (pani), chickpeas, potatoes, and tangy chutneys.

At SPICE ROOM, we bring the authentic street food experience to Denver. Our pani is made fresh daily with mint, cilantro, and our secret spice blend. The puris are perfectly crispy, and the filling strikes the ideal balance of tangy, spicy, and refreshing.

Eating Pani Puri is an experience – pop the entire puri in your mouth in one bite and let the flavors explode. It's interactive, fun, and absolutely delicious.
