I decided to try something new off the January Specials list, and it was pretty good. However the dumplings felt more like kofta, and there was a lot of leftover curry which I ended up ordering garlic naan to eat with it. Regardless, it was very clean inside and the servers were really nice! read more

Incredible food and service! Paranthas we ordered were delicious but not too oily. Mango lassi was yum. They are also super kid friendly. Adjusted spice levels and brought out lassi after our kid finished her meal like we requested. read more

Their food always hits home! The thalis are great, malai paneer is always amazing, the okra is SO good! The bhel is a big dish so enough to be shared with friends! The chai is the only thing that I think could be better. I feel like it used to be better? But maybe it's because I'm adding my own sugar not having them add it for me. The staff was kind and helpful, plus this restaurant (as the newer I think) is so much prettier than the other branches I've been to! read more

The food was good and the service was really fast and fulfilling, the slightly quiet music was really nice as well. But certain foods were a bit low on quality read more

Yummy food, helpful service as the menu was really broad in its offerings (regional and such), and a very pleasant ambience. Went with the family and we all enjoyed it. My favorite was the Makki di roti & Saag. A lovely meal :) read more

Fresh, delicious food, Welcoming staff. Must try items - saag paneer and methi malai paneer I order their house thali 2-3x/week. Great deal on Doordash! read more

Chaat bhavan has been our regular restaurant since they opened this Mountain View branch. We have been very happy with the food, the service and the prices. On this visit the presentation was improved with edible flower as a garnish. Service was excellent with Sankalp taking good care of us. Portion sizes are large and we get a 2nd meal at home with the leftovers. They are known for their chaat items but the non chaat items on the menu are equally good. Keep it up!! read more

Amazing food as always! Also great service by Rishabh who helped accommodate for allergies for us..

We cater Chaat Bhavan pretty often, and I seriously can't get enough of their panipuri--it's my absolute favorite! We also always include their mini samosas, and they're a crowd-pleaser every time. So good! read more

We love this place. Rishabh really made our experience special. His recommendations and hosting were excellent. The food is also flavorful and not oily. The atmosphere is clean, welcoming and relaxing. A perfect place for a date or a family. Highly recommended and one of our favorite places in the South Bay! read more

Great food & ambience. Customer service is nice as well, Rishab was very resourceful read more

We came here after our play at a theater nearby. The waiters are very nice though the service is a bit on the slower side. You don't see many purely vegetarian Indian spots often and so this place is great for our vegetarian friends, including the one we brought here. The food was super hot and made fresh. We also ordered like 4 entrees 2 orders of naan, another appetizer puri puri, and another order of bread. For all of that, it was just over $90. Although guy the waiter made a mistake and gave us an entree and naan order that was not ours, we gave them the entree back but they let us keep the naan without charge. The place has a good amount of booths and a nice ambiance. The service can be a little bit slow but overall still attentive. We were happy with our food here even though most of the group is not vegetarian. read more

Good place. Reasonable prices. Lots of seating choices. Roomy. Clean bathrooms. Easy parking in large parking lot. Accessible for driving. Lots of menu choices. Excellent chaat and snack food. I was very impressed with their holiday menus. They offered a variety of thali (assorted platter) choices and the food was excellent. Very decent pricing. In these hard economic times, the value made me go there. Heartily recommend. Good place to revisit. read more

The service was WONDERFUL and food is great Rishabh and Yuvi went above and beyond to get us everything we needed.

We had the New year special thali at Chaat Bhavan. Overall, it was a great experience that is definitely worth going for. The food that we got was flavorful. Our thali consisted of multiple appetizers, an entree consisting of our choice of bread, several scrumptious curries, two desserts, and a drink of our choice. Even though we didn't receive our malai kofta at first, the server Rishab kindly brought us an extra bowl of them extremely quickly! Overall, the food, service, and ambiance at this restaurant makes it a great place to eat Indian food, and my family and I will definitely return in the future! read more

We often come to Chaat Bhavan, because the food is consistently great. This review, though, is in special recognition of our server Yuvraj, aka Yuvi. He took amazing care of us this evening, and made our whole family feel really special. He is funny, great with kids, and went out of his way to make sure that we have a wonderful time. Hats off to Yuvi for going so far above and beyond! read more

Authentic and delicious vegetarian Indian cuisine. I absolutely love that they have Dahi Batata Sev Poori, Bhel Poori, and other street food dishes that you don't always see served at some Indian restaurants. Both the Dahi Batata Sev Poori and Bhel Poori were so refreshing and nicely balanced with all the different textures combined - delicately crispy, creamy, and flavorful... using the right spices and sauces. Bhel Poori in particular comes with fresh pomegranate and cilantro which gives it such a rounded finish! The Sev Poori also kept its crunchy exterior while still holding onto its puffy form encasing spicy, sweet, savory, salty and tangy flavors with delicious yogurt, spices, potaoes, chickpeas, chutney and tamarind sauce. Luckily, Chaat Bhavana has several spots in the Bay Area! So, I now get to stop by whenever I crave those favorites snacks/appetizers. I recommend the snack combo, which comes with 2 appetizers (8 different dishes yo choose from) and either a tea, soda, or chaas drink for $14.99. 2 to 4 can share this appetizer. Good deal, and you get to try a nice selection! I also ordered the spinach paratha flatbread, which comes with a side of cooling yogurt raita, sliced raw onions, and spicy pickled amla (gooseberry). The paratha came out warm/freshly made. Beware the amla can be fairly spicy for those not familiar with Indian levels of spice - so the yogurt raita chutney paired nicely to help cool things down as a chaser to the spicy pickled amla. Drinks: Indian tea (black tea with milk and masala spices) which came with the snack combo or would be $2.99 by itself. Masala soda $3.99 (refreshing soda infused with lime, masala spices and fresh ginger leaves). Highly recommend this drink. We will definitely be back to try their other dishes. read more

I remember coming here when it was a different Indian restaurant. Based on the reviews and my experience, I think Chaat Bhavan is going to be here a whole. I ordered takeout and got the dahi paapdi chaat and paneer wrap. I loved how they packed everything separately so it did not get soggy. The food was excellent. Service was good too. read more

Great food and reasonable prices! My date and I started off with the samosas. They were pretty standard, but still tasty. The house thali was a great deal at $11.99. There was a lot of of variety with many tasty curries. I didn't care for the one that was cold and had raw onions. My favorite was the saag paneer. I also really enjoyed the paratha. My only complaint is that it took awhile to get our orders placed and also to get the check. read more

Food is top notch. We always get their thali and share their naan and stuffed paratha. Their rice pudding (kheer) is refreshing and not too sweet. Service is always kind and welcoming to my kids and me. They have paper on the tables that the kids love to draw on. Today our server was Bhawan and he was extremely nice! He noticed we didn't enjoy one of our drinks and he just removed it from the bill. read more

Love this restaurant. Our go-to for North Indian food in South Bay. Great service, very clean and they also have special weekly menu.

Good solid vegetarian Indian food - chat is good - some interesting specialized options they make which are not common otherwise read more

Chaat Bhavan always hits the spot when you want an authentic street food fix -- I frequent this place and have also ordered catering from here once. They have all the classics as well monthly specials that rotate. This time, we got the dabeli, Vada pav, and dahi sev poori. The dahi sev poori was our favourite because of the balance of the sweet and salty flavors. The dahi was rich and thick, unlike the watery stuff you'll sometimes see at restaurants. Impressed! The dabeli was also good and had a coconut masala inside, packed with peanuts. I would get this again too. The Vada pav was a bit of a miss and had a kind of medicinal smell to it that I could t get behind. The potato inside was also too salty. The masala soda here is absolute fire so I would 100% recommend that! The restaurant is clean and comfortable and usually has no wait unless you come on a busy Saturday evening. read more

This was my first time at the Mountain View location, and it was a very satisfactory meal. Our party of two ordered two dishes (House Thaali and Dal Makhani), and both were wonderful. We're not vegetarian, but we enjoyed the opportunity to eat a delicious plant-based spread. We were surprised by how filling the food was, and there were leftovers we took home. I appreciate that Chaat Bhavan not only has tasty food, but it has a clean/neat interior and the service is top-notch. The staff was so kind and took good care of us, checking in to make sure we liked our food and to offer water refills. I'll be back. read more

The service was quick and easy and we ended up ordering: * papdi Chaat - delicious and flavorful with lots of different textures * dry cauliflower Manchurian - this was flavorful and crispy and I really enjoyed this dish * hakka noodles - this was super yummy and flavorful and went really well with the gobi Manchurian * malai kofta - the curry was very creamy and the kofta was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed every bite! We also tried different bread like naan and onion kulcha and everything was delicious! Overall good experience! read more

Just visited Chaat Bhavan in Mountain View for the first time!! What a great experience! We ordered the Batata sev puri, desi ghee tikki chola and kulfi Falooda. We were pleasantly surprised that each of these three dishes were fresh, and very delicious! The sev puri was delicious! The desi ghee tikki was crunchy and well cooked, the chola had very good taste of Jaipuri chola!! We loved it! :)) The Falooda Kulfi had a lot of pistachios, it was a very good kulfi! We will visit again! The restaurant ambiance was great.. the place was full on a Wednesday evening! And our server Mr. Sirtaj was absolutely attentive and offered awesome hospitality! Thanks for an amazing experience! We will see you again soon! Ria read more

What a positive experience! The food tasted delicious and fresh and I would definitely go there again! I had a butternut squash soup and a rice and veggies special. So yummy! read more

Food is good but they could use better planning during rush hours. The overall experience is very chaotic with the background music playing and so many people placed close to each other. Secondly they seem to add artificial food coloring to the curries, which is a complete no for me. The curries we tried were veg korma (had orange color) and paneer curry (same, had orange food color). read more

Great food, great service. Try the chinese bhel and sizzler paneer. Had a great time.

I have no reason to knock off any stars. Chaat Bhavan's new location is clean and neat. Their service was impeccable and very welcoming hosts and waiters. The service was quick and efficient. We got the Chinese Bhel and Gobi Manchurian. The Gobi was excellent. We got a pav bhaji which was really good as well. The mango lassi was surprisingly low in sweet and flavorful. For main course we got garlic naan and 2 subzis. Malai paneer and baigan bharta. Both were delicious. The paneer was soft and had all the qualities of great Indian restaurant food! If you want a no bells and whistles Indian food. Chaat bhavan delivers. read more

This is a vegetarian restaurant. Which I didn't realize until I was sitting already... but I'm a 90% vegetarian, so it's all good. We had a dal dish, hakka noodles, naan, poorhi. As is often the case, vegetarian food at a an all-vegetarian restaurant is tastier than even the supposedly same dishes at a non-vegetarian restaurant. Why? Because the chef (as well as many guests) in non-vegetarian places think of vegetarian dishes basically as a meat dish minus the meat. And often, that shows - the vegetarian dishes aren't prepared to stand on their own - not balanced, just random veggies thrown in, no attempt of making a "rounded" dish. Here, everything tasted great. The noodles were minimally spicy, but my kiddo ate a good part, the rest we took home where we watered doen the spice a bit. As an adventure, I also tried one of their Indian specialty mocktails which I had never seen or heard of or tried before - something with ginger? Cinnamon? It was... interesting and a very characteristic taste... I could imagine that "growing on me" if having it more often. Good! Service was courteous and professional (though "happy" wouldn't be the first word coming to mind to describe the young staff) - and almost over-organized... during a reasonably short wait for an extra portion of poorhi, they asked me 4 times if I wanted anything else... I told them 4 times "an extra portion of poorhi", and that I had ordered already... I was kinda testing if they'd bring 4 portions... but they coordinated that well, I got only 1 extra portion. All good. Will eat here again if I'm in the neighborhood. (I think there was a sushi restaurant here before? Some things changed over the last few years) read more

Tried this new location a few weeks ago and had a great experience! The food all tasted great and up to Chaat Bhavan standards with fresh food and we got to try some November specials which were yum! The service was good as well with good attentiveness and fast service. We got the Sev Puri and Pakora for appetizers and they tasted very fresh and delicious! We tried the Baigan Bharta for the main and it had a good flavor to it as well. One of the new specials we tried was the pink pasta and it was a pleasant surprise with a yummy sauce that had an Indian touch to an Italian dish. It looks like they have a live counter with dosa and chaats we didn't try this time but will be back to try! Overall, we enjoyed coming here and will be back! read more
