Enjoy our signature Chole Bhatura—slow-simmered chickpeas in a bold, tangy, North Indian spice blend served with hot, fluffy fried bhatura bread. This vegetarian favorite is one of the most ordered dishes at Mumbai Bites and a must-try for anyone craving authentic Punjabi comfort food in Calgary.
Chole Bhatura is a beloved North Indian classic combining hearty spiced chickpea curry (chole) with freshly fried, pillowy bhatura bread. At Mumbai Bites, we soak our chickpeas overnight for perfect texture, then slow-simmer them in an onion-tomato masala layered with cumin, coriander, garam masala, amchur, and a hint of black cardamom for depth.
The bhatura—light, airy, and slightly tangy from a yogurt-enriched dough—puffs dramatically when fried and is served hot so you can tear, dip, and scoop every last bit of chole. Add sliced onions, pickled chili, or a squeeze of lemon to customize each bite. Comforting, filling, and fully vegetarian.

"Authentic flavors! The chole taste homemade and the bhatura stays soft even after delivery. Closest I’ve had to back home."

"I order this when I want something filling but still flavorful—not overly spicy. The bhatura is addictively good."
