cars parked in a parking lot
Simpreet K.

The original chaat place that still hits the mark. I remember driving 20+ miles to Fremont just for the wraps back in the day, before there was a plethora of chaat/Indian cafe style food choices available. I still go here for the wraps when the craving strikes. I mostly order takeout style and mostly the paneer and the chicken wraps. I enjoy the paneer wrap more than the paneer tikka one, because the latter is basically just paneer tikka and naan. The paneer wrap on the other hand has an aloo tikki (usually a bit spicy) and a slab of pan fried paneer. I like that they don't skimp on the paneer and provide the extra chutneys for you to add per your taste. Placing the order over the phone is super easy and I have never had a negative experience. The staff works efficiently and are friendly. Parking can be a bit of a problem in this complex but nothing that can't be worked out.

Dahi Batata Sev Puri - soggy trash
Nadia I.

I am so so extremely disappointed. I ordered dahi batata sev puri TO GO. Typically, the wet and dry contents would be packed separately but in this case, buyer beware, it is assembled and will be soggy trash by the time you get home. Don't even get me started on the LACK of any actual dahi (yogurt) in this item... barely any chutney... basically, even if it had not been soggy, it would have been a fail. I called Chaat Cafe to inquire and hope they could make this right and "Melvin" (if that was his real name) said that this is how it is and there is nothing they can or will do. "Melvin" said I should have ASKED for it to be packaged separately. Sigh. After being a longtime customer who stuck by despite the quality of this place slowly diminishing, this dahi batata sogfest marks the end for me.

Samosa Chaat- Could easily share with 2-4 as an appetizer. Very good
Stevi B.

Ended up here by chance, and happy I did! Staff was welcoming upon entering and the menu was full of options that had my eyes much bigger than my tummy. I went with the samosa chaat and butter chicken. The samosa chaat was perfectly seasoned and I loved that the pastry was light and flaky. It also had a nice kick on the back end for the spice level. The dish was bigger than I had anticipated and I could have gotten away with just ordering that... note to self for next time (as there WILL be a next time.) The cucumber salad I can do without. I can't quite identify what it was about it, but I didn't care for it. The butter chicken was on the lighter said than what I'm used to in terms of flavor profile, but good nonetheless. Based on the first dish alone, I'd recommend you give Chaat Cafe a try.

Dahi Batata Sev Puri

The food reminds me of Brampton Indian food - it's flavourful and properly marinated. The spice can be built up. The mint/coriander chutney is ready by the counter for anyone to help themselves. The paneer wraps are my favourite for mains. My husband loves their chicken wraps. The great thing about this spot is that have both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food so it works well for us! Their apps/street food are also great options if you're looking for a refreshing snack - the pani poori, the Dahi Batata Sev Puri, the chaat papri! The ambiance is causal, they have tables. You order at the counter and take your number to any table you wish. They come serve the food to your chosen table.

Butter Chicken dinner with naan and lentils.

They had this place in Fremont and I used to love going there. Finally, I came to this one. Still delicious. And, the staff is very friendly and attentive to its customers.

Garlic Naan
Nini T.

I have been coming here for years! This chaat place is literally one of the best! I usually always get the Dahi Batata Sec Puri and samosa chaat! Literally recommend these two staples to anyone and everyone I know. I had the Aloo tiki chaat and the fish curry today and am over the moon! So good, I love that you just order at the cashier and then they bring it to you. So fast and easy! Very chill and family friendly spot.

Ordered a paneer tikka masala roll takeout and it was good. Ordering online was super easy and the food was ready in 10 minutes. Well done.

Fish wrap with mint and tamarind chutney
Darith Jim C.

First time here. Not really familiar with Indian cuisine but had to try it before I went to work. Clean and nice dining area. They have a lot of food on the menu that I'm unfamiliar with so I just had the fish wrap with cucumber salad and a side of mint chutney. Food taste fresh and service was quick. Will be back to try the other dishes soon

Lunch special!
Georgia R.

Delicious and affordable, and substantial portions! We got the chicken wrap lunch special with cucumber salad, & a fish pakora. It wasn't too busy and food came out within 15 min! Flavors were great, and everything was fresh. Will definitely come back! Loved the subtle spiciness of the fish pakora batter and the red onions on top!

I was…read morecurious about the menu options and it seemed pretty popular from the amount of people at the restaurant, so we opted to dine in. We sat down and while browsing the menu briefly, we realized the options were are vegetarian and there were no meat options. My partner was slightly disappointed, but he ordered one of the thali options, and I ended up getting the chole bhature. The thali was a bit underwhelming, the daal was alright, but other curry dishes were not super appetizing and there was one sauce that seemed a bit sour and watery. However, I couldn't identify the distinct flavors, so it wasn't something that left an impression. I did enjoy the kheer (rice pudding), as my partner is not a fan of dessert. The chole bhature was our favorite, as the fresh, puffy bread and the chickpea curry was spicy and flavorful and we enjoyed it quite a bit. I had initially planned to order something else, and ended up changing my mind last minute. I'm glad we tried the chole bhature, totally worth it! The bhel puri (puffed rice) dish that came with the thali was pretty good too, as it had a nice mix of toppings & savory flavors. Customer service was excellent and attentive, I had mentioned that we had a reservation and were short on time, so they were quick with bringing out our order. They did initially forget the tea that was part of the thali, but I alerted a staff member and they brought it out promptly. Same thing for requesting the check or asking for take out boxes, it was efficient and the restaurant staff were helpful and friendly. It's also great the restaurant offers monthly specials, and the interior was pretty standard but had a good amount of seating. I'd likely return to try other chaat items on the menu. Possibly worth visiting if you're in the area and looking for a flavorful, vegetarian meal.

We came here on a Sunday at 5PM with a party of 4 to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. We were…read morethe only party there when we arrived, and there were only about 3 tables total by the time we left, so it definitely felt empty for a weekend evening. First, the interior is beautiful. Whoever redid the old Coco Cabana space did an incredible job- every detail took my breath away. Dublin doesn't have many restaurants this upscale/chic, so it was a nice change of pace. The menu pulls from all different regions of India and plates everything in a really modern, elevated way. Our favorites were the pappad, chicken saoji, butter chicken, garlic naan, and payasam. What we ordered: - Papdi chaat (tableside, $42): So fun and unique to watch them make it tableside, and it tasted good, but $42 for a bowl of chaat felt steep. Realistically I'd pay $27-28 for this. The frozen yogurt in dry ice was a cool visual but honestly it would've tasted better as regular yogurt. - 3 types of chicken tikka masala ($22): Everyone else liked it but I thought the chicken was nothing special. Portion-wise, best for 2 people. It was awkward to cut each of the 3 flavors of chicken thigh into portions. - Pappad and chutney ($14): I LOVE papad with tamarind chutney and their basket had a nice variety of papad. Definitely recommend this one. - Laal Maas ($38): Didn't try it myself but heard it was extremely spicy and the goat was overly fatty. Wouldn't recommend based on the feedback from the table. - Chicken saoji ($34): Chicken and egg in a thick coconut sauce- a crowd pleaser, great if you love coconut curry. - Butter chicken ($32): I liked this a lot. Paired with their garlic naan (some of the best garlic naan I've ever had), it is crazy together. - Payasam ($15): My father-in-law's favorite item of the night similar to kheer seviyan with crispy fried vermicelli mixed into rice pudding. So, so good. We've been to upscale Indian restaurants in the Bay that have disappointed with beautiful interiors and lackluster food. Overall this was some of the best upscale Indian food we've had in the Bay, and the interior is genuinely gorgeous...but let's talk about the elephant in the room: this restaurant is in a Safeway shopping complex in suburban Dublin, nearby a Dave's Hot Chicken. It's a strange juxtaposition for a spot charging these prices. We spent $400 for 4 people, and while every dish was well-executed, the setting made it hard to justify fine-dining-level pricing. We also dined in a mostly empty restaurant on a weekend evening with club/house music playing throughout, which added to the disconnect between the price point and the actual experience. 5 stars for food and interior, but knocking off a star because the fine dining price tag doesn't match the suburban plaza setting.

The restaurant is high end and the service and ambiance are great. But if we talk about the food…read moreit's very good but does not meet the quality of the service and ambiance. The taste and quality are good but the quantity is very less. For the price point a costumer should get a lot more. We ordered the chicken tikka trio, it has alot of potential but u only get 3 small chicken nuggets size portion for $28. That is kind of unacceptable. You can go to Pippal for its ambience and good service, but you will need to order more than you usually do or you will go home hungry!
