Bahraich: There is no dearth of fast food shops in the district, but when it comes to the oldest shop, the name of Chand Ki Shop located near Omkar Talkies comes first. This shop has been providing the taste of chickpea-rice to the residents of the district since 1998. It started at Rs 1 to 2 per plate, in which unlimited chickpeas were given with rice i.e. take as much as you want. However, this is no longer the case, with increasing inflation, chickpea-rice which was available for Rs 2 is now being sold for Rs 15. The price has definitely increased but there has been no decrease in the number of people eating. Even today people come to enjoy this taste in the same style.
Prepared in a special way!
Shop operator Chand told that to make chickpea rice, soaked peas are prepared in the morning by boiling them and adding special spices and only good quality rice is used. The shop owner also told that chickpea-rice is not made too oily, hence people like it a lot and after eating it once, people definitely come back again.
The special thing about chickpea rice here!
Chickpea rice is available in almost every district. But the chickpea rice available here is something different. This is because special types of spices are used in it. In the initial phase, unlimited chickpeas were given at Rs 2 per plate. Although this is not the case now, if while eating chickpeas and rice you feel that there is less quantity of chickpeas, then you can take it again, and you will not have to pay any extra fee for this. If you also want to taste this Chole-rice of Bahraich, then you will have to come to Chand Chole-rice shop near Omkar Talkies located near Ghantaghar of Bahraich city.
