✅ Krushna Abhishek & Elvish Yadav – Well-seasoned & crispy potatoes; coffee was tasty but not a perfect replication.
✅ Sudesh Lehri & Samarth Jurel – Perfect potatoes in taste & presentation; coffee was rich, flavorful, and well-executed. ⭐
✅ Vicky Jain & Rahul Vaidya – Crispy potatoes with a delicious lemony twist; coffee was good but not as refined as others.
