Try chaat. Chaat is a safer first order than pani puri if you prefer milder seasoning; one review says the chaat can be adjusted to taste.
Check delivery. For delivery, check the bag against your receipt before leaving it unopened, especially after the reported missing samosa and packaging issue.
Ask parking. If you are driving, ask about the branch parking arrangement; one customer reported free parking.
Seasonal dishes. Look for seasonal specials: a review specifically recommends makke di roti te saag.
Gift sweets. For presents, ask about the gift boxes and packing rather than buying sweets as an unboxed takeaway.

One delivery order reportedly contained a large, sharp piece of plastic inside kaju katli, a serious safety concern.
The same delivery order was missing a paid-for samosa, so check the contents before accepting an order.
One customer found the pani puri acceptable but lacking the spicy, tangy street-style flavour they expected.
A customer reported two Talabat promotional orders being cancelled for claimed unavailability.
One review alleged that some sweets were old and that the packaging smelled bad, though this was not the general view.
The Bottom Line
Bikanervala International City is a vegetarian Indian restaurant and sweets counter in International City. It suits a casual meal, a snack stop or a box of mithai for gifting. Reviewers repeatedly mention chaat, pani puri, chole bhature and sweets, while thalis give you a more substantial meal; the Rajasthani thali and Navratri falahari thali both received particularly strong praise.
The setting is described as clean, neat and family-friendly, with enough seating for groups and celebrations. Reviews also mention quick service, and one long-standing customer has been returning since the branch opened in Pavilion Mall. Jain food is available, and a reviewer reported free parking, though it is worth checking the arrangement when you arrive.
There are a few reasons to be cautious. One delivery order reportedly contained a sharp piece of plastic in kaju katli and was missing a paid samosa. Another customer found the pani puri short of the expected spicy, tangy street flavour, while a separate review raised concerns about stale sweets and unpleasant-smelling packaging.
Talabat orders made during promotions were also reportedly cancelled twice for unavailability. For a first visit, chaat is a sensible starting point: it can reportedly be adjusted to your preferred spice level.
