A culinary landmark nestled in the bustling streets near Har Ki Pauri, Mohan Ji Puri Wale is an iconic eatery that has been serving traditional North Indian fare for decades. This is not just a restaurant; it's a quintessential Haridwar experience, drawing in locals and pilgrims alike, especially for a hearty breakfast after a sacred dip in the Ganga. The vibe is pure, unadulterated street-food charm—a lively, crowded spot where the focus is entirely on the authentic, flavorful food. While seating is limited and the atmosphere can be chaotic, the experience of rubbing shoulders with fellow food lovers is part of its unique appeal.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the Mohan Ji Special Poori Sabzi. You'll be served fresh, steaming hot, and perfectly puffed puris, which are both crisp and soft. These are traditionally paired with a trifecta of accompaniments: a comforting and mildly spiced Aloo Sabzi (potato curry), an earthy Chole (chickpea curry), and often a sweet and tangy Kadu Sabzi (pumpkin curry). Many regulars also rave about the Khasta Kachori with Aloo Sabzi, a crispy, flavorful pastry filled with spiced lentils. For those with a sweet tooth, finishing your meal with their rich Halwa, often prepared with ghee, or a sweet Malpua is highly recommended by visitors.
Dining at Mohan Ji Puri Wale is a fast-paced affair. The service is quick and efficient, designed to cater to the constant flow of hungry patrons. It’s a no-frills establishment where the incredible aroma of frying puris and spiced curries fills the air, promising an authentic taste of Haridwar's culinary heritage. While some find it overhyped, for many, a visit to Haridwar is incomplete without stopping at this legendary spot. It’s a perfect place for a satisfying, traditional meal that connects you to the heart and soul of the city.
