At LBB, we love pani puri to infinity and beyond. And with Koramangala being one of our favourite hoods, we decided to check out the pani puri scene. While there are roughly six stalls in every block {there are eight blocks in Koramangala, so that’s 48 odd stalls, y’all}, we decided against subjecting ourselves to 48 plates of pani puri. Instead, we snooped around, chit-chatted with the bhaiyyas, and found the five best pani puri stalls that you need to visit at least once if you haven’t already.
Here's An LBB Guide To Eating Your Way Through Koramangala's Best Pani Puri
Sunil's Pani Puri Stall
If anyone has walked past Burger King on their way to Fenny’s, Starbucks or Social, chances are they would have seen this pani puri stall just outside Burger King. Sunil, who runs this stall, is the eager beaver who always serves his customers with a smile. Crowded between 5.30 pm and 7 pm, what makes this stall special is that, apart from just pani puri, the guy also makes Sev Puri, Churmur Chaat, Dahi Puri, and Sukha Puri. Sunil also does party orders.

Chotte Lal's Pani Puri Stall
Done with your shopping at Inmark? Or on your way to Raheja arcade to buy some nose rings? Well, we recommend you stop at Chotte Lal’s stall just outside Inmark for a round of pani puri. What makes this stall special are the large puris and the shade provided by the large yellow umbrella. So come rain, hail or sunshine, you can have your quota in peace. Bonus points for channa and onions that he gives without holding back.

Sandeep's Pani Puri Stall
This camera shy pani puri bhaiyya is situated on the other side of Sony World Signal, towards Koramangala 1st Block. Situated outside the SBI NRI Branch, he’s the go-to guy for all the working folks in and around that area. What’s so special about him is that he’s the fastest pani puri guy we have come across. He served four people in just under four minutes and with such skills, be it crowded or not, you will get your pani puris without a delay.

Udupi Upahar Pani Puri Stall
The guy who has set up stall outside this dharshini in Koramangala 1st Block is camera shy and was giggling when we asked him his name. Without divulging his name, he moved on to serving some of the best sukha puris we’ve had. Crunchy, lemony, and filled with channa, you’ll order them more than the pani puri here.
Price: INR 20 for seven {7 pani and 1 sukha}
Timings: 4 pm to 10 pm
Menu: Pani Puri and Sukha Puri
