Street Foods by Punjab Grill

Plated chaat in T2 without stepping onto the actual street

Street Foods by Punjab Grill sits in Kempegowda’s Terminal T2 and leans hard into North Indian snacks: think pani puri, papdi chaat, samosas, and small tandoori plates instead of full thali-style meals. It’s one of the only places in BLR T2 where you can get restaurant-style chaat before a long-haul international flight, so it fills up fast in the evening bank of departures around 21:00–01:00.

Pricing lands in standard airport territory: expect around ₹250–₹350 for basic chaats, about ₹300–₹450 for kebab or tikka plates, and soft drinks around ₹120–₹180. Portions skew snack-sized rather than meal-sized, so budget two items per person if you’re actually hungry before a 6–8 hour sector to Europe or Southeast Asia.

Service is counter-order with table delivery, which usually means 10–20 minutes from payment to food during typical BLR T2 peaks that align with flights like SQ511, EK567, or QR573. It’s air‑conditioned and fully indoors in T2’s departures area, so you can eat without watching the clock on immigration or security; you’re already post‑checks at this point.

If you want the strengths of the menu, lean into pani puri, sev puri, papdi chaat, and aloo tikki rather than heavy mains; those North-Indian street staples are what Punjab Grill is known for across its outlets in India. Skip anything that feels too generic airport café, like basic fries or plain sandwiches, which you can find cheaper at other T2 stands near gates in the 20s.

One practical move: place your order, grab a printed bill with the timestamp, and set a hard “get up” time 40 minutes before boarding if you’re on an international widebody like EK565 or BA118; that gives wiggle room to walk to the far T2 gates and handle a last‑minute document check at the podium.
