If you search for Indian food in Abbotsford, most results are sit-down curry houses along South Fraser Way and Gladwin Road. They're great for a long dinner. But sometimes you want something faster, more casual and more fun to share. That's where Indian street food comes in, and where P2P Snacks (Paratha 2 Pasta) at Highstreet Mall fits in.
What is Indian street food?
Indian street food is a style of cooking built around small, bold, affordable dishes sold by vendors. Think crunchy chaat topped with yogurt and chutneys, hot stuffed parathas, fried snacks like samosas and pakoras, and handheld favourites like Vada Pav. The dishes are meant to be eaten quickly, hot and with friends, and usually hit sweet, sour, spicy and crunchy all at once.
At P2P Snacks, we cook those classics and mix in comfort-food twists. That's how we ended up with a menu that goes from paratha to pasta.
How P2P is different from a curry house
Most Indian restaurants in Abbotsford focus on curries, naan and tandoori. P2P focuses on snacks, handhelds and bowls. You can order a few small plates and share, grab a quick lunch, or take a box to go. Most dishes sit between about $10 and $13, so it's an easy, affordable way to eat out in Abbotsford.
5 street food dishes to try first
1. Creamy Tikka Poutine
Our signature dish: crispy fries, chicken or paneer tikka, gravy, cheese curds and pickled onions. It's Canadian comfort food with Indian spice. Read more in our tikka poutine guide.
2. Stuffed parathas
A paratha is a whole wheat flatbread, stuffed and grilled with butter. We make Loaded Aloo, Paneer, Methi, Mooli and Mixed Veg versions. They're filling and a great vegetarian meal.
3. Chaat Bar favourites
Chaat is the heart of Indian street food. Try Samosa Chaat, Papdi Chaat, Dahi Puri or Pani Puri shots. Each bite mixes crunchy, creamy, tangy and spicy.
4. Butter Chicken Lava Pasta
This is the "pasta" half of Paratha 2 Pasta: penne in creamy butter chicken sauce with vegetables, cheese and herbs. It's a good pick if you're new to Indian flavours.
5. Vada Pav, wraps and momos
Vada Pav is Mumbai's famous street burger, a spicy potato fritter in a soft bun. If you'd rather have a wrap, try the Paneer Tikka Wrap or the Classic Chicken Tikka Masala Wrap. Kurkure Momos add a crunchy coating to crispy dumplings.
Drinks and dessert
Order a Masala Chai or Mango Lassi with your meal, then finish with Rasmalai, Hot Gulab Jamun or Carrot Halwa.
Good for families, groups and vegetarians
P2P has plenty of vegetarian options, a kids' menu and outdoor seating. Order a few dishes for the table and everyone gets to try something different.
