  C and I were up to some shopping in Adayar and had to have dinner outside. I wanted something light on my tummy as well as our wallet and we started looking for options around. It had been a while since we went to Gangotree. I have always loved chaat and Gangotree is my all time. So, we decided to have a chaat dinner that night.Menu: 4/5 The menu is a chaat lovers paradise. You have all authentic varieties of chaat from Bombay, Delhi, Kolkata and other regions as well. Some unique dishes like katori chaat, raj kachori, jaal mudi, burger pav are part of their menu since many years, while other joints have started serving them very recently. In addition to chaat, they also have limited options of sandwiches, milkshakes and softy. They also have a very good variety of sweets and savories. Ambience: 3/5 The ambiance is plain with seating on one side and sweets, savory display and chaat preparation counter on the other side. The seating is comfortable, the place is well light and clean. The ambience is very simple yet functional and convenient.Taste: 5/5 The order: Rasamalai, Dahi Papdi Chaat, Channa Samosa, Burger Pav C loves anything made of Channa in Gangotree. This is the only place he eats any of the Channa chaat. Their channa is so tasty and brings an outburst of flavours. The green chutney, tamarind chutney, onions and sev make it even more crunchy and tasty. We loved this as always. The dahi in gangotree is outstanding. It is so thick, rich, creamy and tastes very fresh. The dahi papdi was ordered just to taste their dahi and we loved this one too. I had Burger pav for the first time in gangotree many years ago and I do not recollect this being served in any other restaurant/joint. This is pav bhaji masala filled in the burger bun and grilled with cheese and veggies. It was served piping hot and tasted yum! I am not a huge fan of milk sweets but C loves them. Rasamalai is always part of the order whenever we come here. Their rasamalai is very airy and spongy and tastes very fresh. Overall the food was lipsmacking, exactly how your chaat has to be. Service: 3/5 There is only self-service. Usually the preparation is very quick, and your order is ready within few minutes once you hand over your bill in the preparation counter. You can always approach the staff if you need anything. The service is very straight forward, at the same time I have never had any complaints either. Value for money: 5/5 For the full order including taxes, the bill summed up to Rs. 266 for two of us. This is a steal! A decent place to sit down and eat some authentic and hygienically prepared chaat without a pinch on your wallet. Our dinner was sorted at a price lesser than what we pay for food delivery apps and we were thoroughly satisfied and tummy full. My take: I cannot recollect how many times I have been here ever since my school days. Their pani poori, channa and dahi are simply outstanding and have been so consistent over the years. One of the best places in town to enjoy tasty and freshly prepared chaat on a budget. Gangotree is my all-time favorite and to go place when it comes to chaat. If you love chaat, you would have already tried this place by now and if not, this place is definitely worth a try!
