Prabhu Chaat Bhandar (Popularly Known as UPSC Chaat Wala) – Serving Customers Since 86 Years
Alighted at Lok Kalyan Marg (Race Course) metro station and walked towards Indira Gandhi Memorial.
After visiting the Indira Gandhi Memorial, another walk towards Gandhi Smriti.
After spending lots of time at both heritage places, I was hungry, and what better than to visit Prabhu Chaat Bhandar next to the UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) building inside the UPSC lane?
I hired an auto from Gandhi Smriti and told him that I wanted to go to Prabhu Chaat Bhandar close to UPSC. He was aware of the location. He dropped me off exactly outside the UPSC Museum building. Prabhu Chaat Bhandar is inside the lane.
How much do I pay for the auto fare from Gandhi Smriti to the UPSC Museum building?
Rs. 50. It’s approx. 2.5 km distance.

I always loved street food, and I liked Prabhu Chaat Bhandar Aloo-Tikki – irresistible, Hot & Delicious
One of the unbeatable street food shops. Nothing fancy. Nice posh location to have street food.
No seating arrangements, which is good.
The ambiance is peaceful but crowded.
I saw a monkey – beware.
Recommended for at least once to have an experience, especially if you are in the UPSC area.
