Kettliwala, Panchkula is an absolute gem in Panchkula! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the cozy ambiance and warm hospitality. We ordered the Bombay Vada Paav, Hardwari Tikki, Raagi Paneer Chilla, Himachali Mojito, and their signature Gur Chai served in a kettli—every item was a delightful blend of traditional flavors and creative presentation. The Vada Paav was perfectly spiced with soft pav and a crispy vada that instantly took us back to Mumbai streets. The Hardwari Tikki had a unique flavor and texture, while the Raagi Paneer Chilla was a wholesome and tasty surprise. The Himachali Mojito was refreshingly different, a perfect cooler for a warm day. And the Gur Chai in a kettli was the perfect end to the meal—aromatic, comforting, and served with such charm. Service was super quick, and everything arrived fresh and hot. The staff were courteous and attentive. What truly stood out was the humble and kind-hearted owner, who personally checked on every table and shared the story behind the food, adding a personal touch to our experience. Highly recommend Kettliwala for anyone who enjoys Indian street food with a twist. We’ll definitely be back!

Love the aura of the place and the food was excellent, having Rani and Arjun serve us made our experience 10 times better. The Manager is doing an amazing job with how well managed the ketliwala is.

Bubbly place to enjoy the taste buds. Interiors are lovely and food/ snacks were nice. The staff, especially the captain, has been very polite and professional. He was personally making sure that all guests get same courteous treatment. Tried almost all the snacks with great tasting jaggery chai in ketli. Another interesting part was they had given crossword puzzle as placemats. Must Goto place in Panchkula.

Best Tea Cafe Near Me in Panchkula: After our team lunch, a group of 25 of us visited this place for a high tea break, and we had a wonderful time. We tried the adrak chai, samosas, and cookies all of which were absolutely delicious. The staff was extremely polite and welcoming, making our visit even more pleasant. The café is located on the first floor, accessible by both lift and stairs. The interior decor and seating arrangements were beautifully done and created a cozy atmosphere. Everyone in our group loved the place. Street parking ???? and the entrance are wheelchair accessible. Highly recommended for a relaxing tea break.

Last night I visited Panchkula Ketliwala with my family. The food here is amazing and the service is also the best and the management done by the *Manager Vinod Joshi is beyond praise and I have eaten in many restaurants but I found the food here to be of better quality than all of them. Secondly, the conversation of the staff here was soft and the neutrality of the Manager is a *unique example*. Thanks to the owner of this restaurant for keeping *such staff* and the manager who *manages* them, Mr. *Vinod Joshi*, who is very polite and hard working, thanks to you.

I always had a great experience with them. Couldn’t stop myself from eating their food but managed to get few pics. The ambiance is very cozy. They have indoor and outdoor sitting areas. North indian food was worth trying. Would highly recommend
