HOW WE RATE
Six metrics. No shortcuts. No favoritism. Just honest, crumb-covered truth.
We also track whether each puff comes with a half egg or a full egg. This is shown as a review attribute, not a scored metric. It helps set expectations around filling style and value without affecting the overall ranking.
Every review on MottaPuffs follows a rigorous process. We visit each shop at least twice — once during peak hours and once during off-peak — to ensure consistency. Each visit, we order a fresh puff and evaluate it within 5 minutes of it leaving the oven.
Scores are assigned independently for each of the six metrics on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being perfection. The overall score is a weighted average that accounts for the relative importance of each metric to the egg puff experience.
We believe an egg puff should be judged on its own merits — a ₹20 street-side puff and a ₹180 café puff are both valid expressions of the craft. The “Value for Money” metric ensures that pricing context is captured, but it doesn't penalize premium experiences that deliver on their promise.
Ultimately, this blog is a celebration of the egg puff — one of the most beloved snacks across South and Western India. Whether it's flaky or dense, spicy or subtle, street-side or artisanal, every egg puff has a story. We're here to tell it.
