Elco, Hill Road, Bandra West, Mumbai
Hill Road's chaat institution, and the first name in almost every Bandra thread. Elco is a proper sit-down chaat house rather than a cart, which is why locals send nervous stomachs here for their first pani puri. It costs more than the stalls outside, and Mumbaikars will tell you so, but it's clean and it has been around for a long time.
What to order at Elco
- Pani puri
- Chole bhature

Best time to go: Early evening
Price: ₹₹ (₹150–400 a person)
