Bhatura King Hicksville

*Update Dec 2025* I’m taking a few stars off - our second visit in December 2025 was nowhere near the same experience as the first. Unfortunately it seems the establishment took a nosedive. First clue - it was empty on a Saturday evening at 7pm, right when all the places in the area are packed wall to wall. Second - the bhaturas were nice and hot, but the chana was likely stale, causing us digestion issues after the fact. Switching over to Bikanerwala or Mithaas instead. Spartan food joint with a single purpose - serve Chhole Bhatures. It’s rare to see food establishments this bold - and refreshing to see them do the job well. Bhaturas were the best we’ve had on Long Island. Chhole was spicy and flavorful. Also came with some non spicy pickles to add a tangy touch. Lassis helped wash the

The chole bhatura at Bhatura King is out of the world and worth the trip to Hicksville! The menu/ambience is very simple with a focus on chole. Rakesh the owner is committed to serving delicious food and warm hospitality. He smiles from ear to ear as he watches customers devour their meals.

Disappointing Food + Deceptive Surcharges : Noticed this new place popped up in Hicksville and decided to give it a try. Having such a narrow menu - 4 items! - is courageous and normally indicative of being really good at something. Unfortunately that was not the case here. We ordered all 4 items. The Papri Chaat was super bland, and the papri used was too thick (more like matthi) - an atrocity for $12. But the Khasta Kachori was worse - basically a kachori submerged in a nearly tasteless Aloo sabzi. Then the Kulche Chole was the worst of the evening. The kulchas were quite odd (more like a flatbread version of an English muffins than kulchas I've had anywhere else...). They were, however, edible, unlike their accompanying "chole" - which was actually a bland brown mush (think Pav Bhaji
