Inside 1976 Hyderabad chaat spot loved by Tollywood stars too

Hyderabad’s street food scene is incomplete without its love for chaat. From spicy bhel puri and crunchy sev puri to buttery pav bhaji and delicious sandwiches, the city has several popular spots serving these favourites.

Among them is Bajrang Chat Bhandar in Basheer Bagh, a neighbourhood food joint that has been serving customers for more than five decades.

Located opposite Skyline Theatre, the outlet is known for its extensive menu, pocket-friendly prices and interesting snack combinations. Unlike modern cafes with elaborate interiors, this place keeps things simple and focuses on offering a variety of snacks for people looking for a quick and satisfying bite.

A menu with plenty of choices

What makes Bajrang Chat Bhandar interesting is that its menu goes beyond regular chaat. Customers can choose from traditional favourites such as sev puri, bhel puri, dahi puri, dahi papdi and katori chaat.

For those who enjoy sandwiches, there are several options, including Schezwan Grill Sandwich, Chilli Cheese Grill Sandwich, Chocolate Sandwich and Chocolate Brownie Grill Sandwich. The outlet also serves Rainbow Sandwich, Ice Cream Sandwich, Kurkure Bhel Puri, Cheese Chinese Bhel Puri, pav bhaji, dabeli, dhokla and chutney puff.

Its Rainbow Sandwich, featuring colourful layers, has also caught the attention of food lovers on social media. The Ice Cream Sandwich is another unusual option for those who enjoy experimenting with food.
