On a delightful Sunday evening, I had the pleasure of indulging in some delicious street food in Jackson Heights. I treated myself to mouthwatering Fuchka, a refreshing cut mango chat, and a flavorful Guava chaat. The Fuchka here is truly exceptional—it's undoubtedly the best on this street!
Vegetarian options: Mango and Guava chat is also available
Tastes like the pani puri I know from eating at childhood friend's homes. I think it tastes good, but if you are desi, you might want to try the yogurt one as my best friend loves that over the pani puri fuska. Bring cash and patience, they have long lines.
Vhelpuri was good and the tea most favorite
I unfortunately have to leave a one star review due a dishonest employee tipping himself with my credit card without my knowing. If you come here, suggest you pay in cash. After we ate our fuska, I went up to pay as usual and the employee in the cart asked me if I wanted some tea. I said sure and he poured out the chai into small cups and asked me to pay for my food after we finished drinking. For some reason, I thought this tea was complimentary because of the small size and thought the guy was genuinely being nice. It was only after I came back a second time to pay for my food that he included the teas in the final price. It would have been nice if he had clarified that it wasn't free.. That was my bad for assuming, so I was not upset at this. However, when I put my credit card into the payment terminal, as the tip screen was loading, he immediately turned the payment terminal back towards himself and clicked something. I didn’t think much of it, but luckily my email is in the payment system, and so I automatically received an email with the receipt. On the receipt, you can see that he had given himself a tip after turning the terminal around before I was able to complete my transaction. Obviously this is not about the money, but the principle. I used to recommend this place to friends and family, but after this experience I will be taking my business elsewhere.
Best fushka!!! Flavor explosion in your mouth! And it is inexpensive. It is a street food vendor so you eat outside on the street which is also a fun experience.
