Vik’s Chaat House in Berkeley

Large poori at vik's in berkeley california

I dragged Matt to Viks Chaat House today.  He likes Indian food but never wants to go to Viks (724 Allston Way, Berkeley).  What gives with that?  The monster poori alone is reason to come here for lunch.  If you order the bhatura cholle you’ll get the pooriwith chick pea curry and onions.  By the by, if you like the pickles served at Vik’s, you can get jars of them at the grocery next door.  The one with the hard pieces of shell that you have to eat around, which is pungent slash sour in addition to being hot, is green mango.  It’s called “avakkai mango pickle” if you want to buy it.  The lime is also great.
