What is a Golgappa?

GetSetUp Community’s Must-Visit Golgappa Spots in Delhi:

Manju G - Surya Nagar Resident

When it comes to Golgappas, my absolute favorite spot is a street stall in Ramprastha. The Golgappas there are incredibly crispy, and they offer two types of water - khatta meeta (sweet and tangy) and mixed. If you're looking for another fantastic option, head to Vivek Vihar market, where you'll find an excellent stall called SP. The evenings there are particularly delightful. And if you're in the mood to sit back and enjoy your Golgappas, Haldiram in Cross River Mall (at Shop No G 42-48, Cross River Mall, Vishwas Nagar Extension, Karkardooma, Shahdara, New Delhi, Delhi 110034) or Haldi Ram in Metro Mall are perfect choices.
