There’s a new street food hotspot in Wakad that has foodies lining up every evening. Mathurawasi Chaat Center brings a rare and authentic taste of Mathura style chaat in Pune.

Unlike the usual chaat found across Pune — influenced by Mumbai or local Maharashtrian styles — this place sticks to the roots. And those roots run deep in Uttar Pradesh, where chaat is not just food, but tradition.

At Mathurawasi, you won’t find the usual tamarind, onion, garlic, or aamchur in their chutneys. This is true Mathura-style. Their signature tangy chutney is made from sun-dried mangoes soaked and mashed into a pulp. The flavour is bold, earthy, and different from anything else in the city.

The place is run by Chandan Raha, a passionate chaat lover from UP. His stall opens at 5 pm every evening on Omega Paradise Road, Wakad. And it gets crowded fast!

Top sellers include Aloo Tikki Chaat, Tamatar ki Chaat, Pani Puri, Sev Puri, Dahi Puri, and Dahi Bhalla Papdi Chaat. Everything is made fresh. The aloo tikki is fried hot in pure desi ghee. The aroma alone pulls you in from a distance! The chhole served with tikki deserves a mention. They’re packed with homemade masalas that bring deep flavour to every bite.

Even the pani puri is different. The puris are made in-house using suji, not maida. The boat-shaped puris are large, crisp, and easy to eat. The pani is spicy, tangy and tastes like nowhere else in Pune.

Sev puri and dahi puri also have a homemade feel. The sev is made in-house too. No factory stuff here. Chutneys are thick, spicy, and cling to the puri, giving a long-lasting tangy hit.

The Dahi Bhalla Papdi Chaat is a must-try. The bhallas are kept chilled on ice, making them moist and soft. Topped with chhole, curd, and chutneys — this dish is satisfying and heavy!

Tamatar chaat is another Mathura-special item rarely found elsewhere. Spicy, hot, and full of flavour, it’s an explosion in the mouth.

So if you’re craving authentic Mathura style chaat in Pune, Mathurawasi Chaat Center is your answer. Try it once and you’ll keep coming back. Because this is not just chaat — it’s Mathura’s street magic served fresh in Pune!
