This place was fantastic! Both curries I tried were savory and flavorful! The service was great! First time in and she was able to help me navigate the menu and choices (I usually do buffets because it's always overwhelming!). It looks deceivingly small from outside but plenty of tables inside. Very clean and welcoming. I also ordered some samosas to go because the spice as perfect! By far the best riata I have had. I will definitely be coming back! read more

This used to be one of my favorite place for Indian food in Natomas and I used to often order kadi chawal, Rajma chawal and choley bhaturey. This time during our dine in we had the most negative experience at this place. We ordered choley bhaturey, 2 pieces of Samosa and the tandoori platter for the dinner. The samosa were very average, the choley bhaturey were good but when the tandoori platter arrived it looked loaded with red color, upon tasting the meat tasted and smelled bad, also the flavors were totally off. We raised the concern with the server and mentioned have had only one bite the whole thing was untouched, their solution to the situation was no refund, they can instead give a curry in exchange which was barely $10-$12, while the platter costed whopping $28.50 plus taxes, which we didn't accept and left the place. This place has a very basic ambience but I always rated this place well due to consistency in taste of their vegetarian food, and always ordered with instructions to go easy on oil. We have decided to never visited this place and would not recommend it either and if you are all this place, please avoid their non-vegetarian dishes. read more

Came here as one of my coworkers recommended it. They are Indian and said that whenever they drove to Sac (they live out town) that her husband always wants to make a detour here. So thought I'd give it a try. Food was pretty good. We had the butter chicken, tiki Marsala and the veggie plate. As well as some rice and garlic naan. The food was served in paper bowls/plates. At first I thought that there wasn't going to be enough food for the folks that I was with (2 others) but it was plenty. There was also left overs. All tasted well. I wish the garlic naan was more garlicky. The veggie dish was delicious, I am trying to add more veggies and was a bit weary of it, but it tasted good. It was a bit cold in the restaurant, but not too bad that I couldn't enjoy the food. Will definitely come here again. read more

Ok they tricked me... I was super excited and wanting Indian food, I received my order from door dash and was confused on the sizing of the food so I was like um I paid almost $40 for this! But once I tasted the chicken tikka Masala and the garlic cheese naan and the potato aloo it was like all these different flavors having a party and I am so here for it. So delicious and will be coming back real soon the only thing is one of them were burnt otherwise it would be 5 stars 9/10 recommend read more

let me start off by saying i am not a expert with indian food. I do have to say i enjoy the quality of their meat. Super flavorful, and one of my faves for Indian food. Really nice customer service & accommodating. Wanted some extra sauces on the side and didn't get a hard time about it. read more

I really enjoyed Chaat. I've been hearing good things about them for years, and I was a couple doors down at Bingsu and decided to try them for lunch. The dining area is spacious and clean, and you order at the counter. The menu is huge. It took a while to decide what to get. We decided on panipuri and samosa for appetizers (both were good and we loved the spicy chili water that came with panipuri. For our meals we got the aloo saag and tandoori chicken and both were so good! Portions were large enough that we had a big lunch the next day. This was the best Indian food I've had in a long time. Can't wait to return soon. read more

This was a surprise find. We walked by it and figured that we'd give it a shot. We liked the food a lot! The ambiance is ok. Nothing great to write home about - typical small indian restaurant ambiance. The servers are nice and service was a little on the slower side. We ordered a samosa chaat and a boneless chicken tikka masala dinner with daal, rice, naan to go. We also got some dessert (kalakand, milk cake). The samosa chaat was excellent and the portion was big. We had actually ordered the dinner to eat in the restaurant but we got full with the chaat, so hubby ended up taking it home. He said the portions were big and the dinner was good. The curry was decent, while the daal was very good. Both the kalakand and milk cake were very good but I don't know if these are made by the restaurant or got from somewhere else. We are planning to make this our usual stop on the way to the airport. Come and try them, they are very good, particularly at chaat! read more

We tried this restaurant for the first time through delivery and overall had a really good experience. The vegetable pakora was scrumptious--flavorful, crispy and well-seasoned. It was our favorite dish by far. The masala fries were also tasty and nicely spiced, a fun twist on regular fries. The Punjabi House chicken curry was tasty but the portion size was beyond disappointing. It was noticeably small--about half the size expected for the price of $22.46--which made a very poor value even though the taste itself was good. We ordered the dinner size so maybe they accidentally gave us the smaller size? The mango lassi was not a traditional lassi. It tasted more like a thin mango smoothie that had melted--very mango-y, but lacking the creamy, yogurt-based richness you'd expect. We did not receive the samosa chaat--it was missing from the order. The "sides" (i.e. dipping sauces, naan, etc.) were excellent and the portions were mostly generous. Overall, the food was so scrumptious that we literally could not stop eating it and eventually had to force ourselves to. read more

This is one of my favorite local spots for Indian food. I usually order the Butter Chicken dinner plate, which comes with naan and rice. The Butter Chicken is always rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The naan is consistently warm, soft, and airy, perfect for scooping up every last bit of the buttery sauce. The rice adds a nice balance, and I love combining it all for the perfect bite. Today, I decided to try something different and ordered the Thursday Tandoori Chicken Plate lunch special. It includes 2 legs and 2 or 3 thighs, naan, and your choice of cucumber salad or potato salad. I went with the cucumber salad, which was crisp, refreshing, and nicely seasoned. The Tandoori Chicken was moist, tender, and full of smoky, spiced flavor. And as always, the naan did not disappoint. I would definitely order again if I come on a Thursday, because it's a great deal. I just wish they also had a lunch special for the butter chicken too! Service is quick, the staff is friendly. Whether you're grabbing a quick take out or enjoying a relaxed sit down, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend! read more

Wanted to try a new place and came in after lunch hours. There was quite a wait as there were a few customer waiting when we got in. We ordered chicken tikka masala, butter lamb with rice and garlic naan. I liked the chicken tikka masala while my husband liked the butter lamb more. The food seemed authentic. The place was clean and the workers were nice and accommodating. read more

Absolutely delicious Indian food. Quick and friendly service. This restaurant is order at the counter style. They have a very wide menu with something for everyone! The butter chicken is on the thicker side (as it should be) and the naan is to die for. Their samosas are also a huge portion and come served with chickpeas on the side. Would highly recommend! read more

I have been patronizing Chaat Kafe for many years now. It is by far one of the best Indian restaurants in the Natomas Area. The food is always very fresh and authentic. The service is typically the same family staff. I love how they cater to all patronizing customers. Aman is one of their exceptional staff; he is patient, explains the menu very well to non-Indian customers. I saw him first hand service an elderly woman in her eights find the best meal choice and she was well served. He displays over and above customer service, exceeding the norm. That is why I gave my five star review. The ambiance is calm, and pleasant during the midday rush. The tv's are on playing Punjabi music. Always nice to stop in. One of my favorites read more

I would give this place 4 stars but they are SUPER stingy with their chutney. We order two entrees and only given 2 little tiny containers of chutney and we had to BEG for it. One time we ordered a chicken wrap and the wrap is huge but they wouldn't give us any chutney and was going to charge us for it. It's a bit ridiculous. I don't understand places that are so stingy like this. The food itself is good. We usually get the chicken wrap or the chicken plate. The potato salad and cucumber salad are both good! Not sure if I would return though because they stingy. read more

I have been here many times and although it is always good, yesterday was amazing. I tried the vindaloo chicken for the first time. It was one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. So good! I usually always get the chicken tikka masala à la cart (comes with rice or plain naan). I usually get it with the rice and order garlic naan on the side because the garlic naan is also the best I've had. I've also had pretty much all of the deserts. They are all pretty good! Hard to go wrong here. Most of the time when I order to go, it's ready in about 10-15 mins tops. Love this place. read more

One of my favorite Indian spots in the area! Their cholay is my favorite! Get it with a wrap and dip it. Also love their vegetarian curries. The spice level is perfect read more

We come here for the lunch specials. The food is good with large portions. The service is fast and efficient. The only negative in the service is that they charge extra if you want an extra container of chutney. I have never eaten in the restaurant, but there is plenty of seating. It does get busy during lunch hour on weekdays. Don't forget to check in Yelp for a 10% discount! read more

This is our favorite Indian restaurant to get takeout from! Always hot, fresh, flavorful, and packaged So thoughtfully well! The last two times we ordered the family meal dinner from here, and it is a great deal. You get to choose two curry dinners, and 4 samosa or 4 aloo tikki (or half/half). We ordered two of our favs, butter chicken and saag paneer. We are a family of two, so we always have lots of leftovers that I enjoy for breakfast the next day. lol I'll usually pop the samosa in the air fryer to reheat, and microwave the lentils to have with it. There's never leftover butter chicken or saag paneer though haha it's so good! but seriously, the family meal could feed a family of four for under $50! Chaat Kafe never disappoints! read more

Chaat Kafe - Family Meal Dinner - Butter Chicken, Saag Paneer, Samosa & Aloo Tikki - Indian Near Me - Sacramento, California

My friends and I were craving chaat food and found this place on Yelp! We ordered the pani puri, samosa chaat, saag paneer, and garlic naan to share. I asked if they could do Dahi puri but we were told the panj puri comes with Dahi (yogurt) in the filling so we just ordered that! It was great and a wonderful cold app to start with. The samosa chaat was warm and super filling. It was a little sweeter than I expected bc of the red chutney, so if you want it spicy, I'd recommend asking for more green chutney We ordered the garlic naan and saag paneer for our main. The portion was a little smaller than expected but the dish itself was good! It definitely could have been a little more flavorful but I still enjoyed it. The garlic naan was great Overall, we had a great experience here and would definitely come back! read more

Made a lunch stop here on my way to Shasta today and I have to say their food and service is commendable. Preet was very helpful with managing our food restrictions since majority of my party was Jain. The ambiance is very casual but family friendly. I would definitely recommend this place if you're are looking for a quick stop as the service was also fast. The best part of this place was that they accommodate restrictions and allergies. Would love to dine here again. read more

Where have I been? I'm always next door grabbing wings and noticed how packed this place was. Today, I finally checked it out. Cashier was super nice and inviting. I love goat curry, so that's what I got. Flavor was yummy. I'll be back to try other items on the menu! Ambiance was very mom and pop. It seems the South Asian community frequents here often. A good sign of authentic cuisine! read more

All their food was soooo delicious! I was initially recommended by my friend to try papri chaat. I came here previously to try both their papri chaat and aloo tikki chaat and really enjoyed both! I preferred the aloo tikki chaat more as the papri chaat was too sweet for my liking. This time, we ordered the samosa chaat and this was so good! The chopped samosa went so well with garbanzo beans, chutney, yogurt, herbs and spices! Soft yet so flavorful! We also ordered their butter paneer and paneer tikka masala. Both were so delicious and came with either rice or naan. We ordered a side of garlic naan as well. This garlic naan was spectacular - perfect thickness, texture, and seasoning! It went so well with our entrees! My favorite entree was definitely the paneer tikka masala and I will be back for it! It was seasoned perfectly and was soo creamy! Lastly, we ordered their paneer wrap which was also delicious! Everything in the wrap was so fresh and well prepared. Their wraps come with either a mixed greens or cucumber salad and we were so glad we opted for the cucumber as it was tangy and refreshing! Their menu is extremely vegetarian friendly and I can't wait to try their other vegetarian dishes in the future! read more

At least once every few weeks I get a craving for Indian food. Though it's been hit or miss finding places to eat at. This place has very good quality and has the best deal I've found on their dinner plates. I like to get the boneless chicken tikka masala dinner plate. The dinner plate includes vegetables, daal, rice and naan. Then I always order a side of vegetable pakora, mixed veggies dipped in a spicy batter and deep fried; but I don't think it's that spicy. The dinner plate and pakora always leave me stuff and is much cheaper then a local one I was going to before. read more

I don't know why it took me so long to eat here, but gosh darn it I finally did. I AM IDIOT GIRL FOR NOT COMING HERE SOONER. I really must start by saying that this place has some of the best samosas I've ever had. I'd come back for the samosas alone. We ordered two plates too, but got full off the samosas lol. Idk what seasoning was on the outside of them, but MAN *chef's kiss*. I guess this is a review on just the samosas haha cus those bad boys were everythingggggg. read more

We gave Chaat Kafe a try for dinner tonight and were happily surprised! The restaurant when you enter is pretty dark, there is not a ton of light, but it feels cozy! The menu is displayed pretty clearly and in a detailed way, which helps with ordering if you aren't sure what you want. I appreciate that almost every entree has an a la carte or full meal option! We had the Boneless Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan bread and it was all very tasty and fresh tasting! The presentation is certainly not fancy, with plastic utensils and a tray, but the quality of food makes up for it. I would come back in the future to try the rest of the menu! read more

OMG!!! Chaat Kafe always hits the spot! As professional cooks, sometimes the last thing we want to do on our days off is cook for ourselves or go anywhere. But we want to eat something super yummy and love Indian food. So we place an orde after getting hooked on their flavors based on a visit several years ago. The Chicken Biryani never disappoints with the generous and always tender chicken. The Vindaloo Paneer was a first and will most definitely be ordered again in the future! If you love it flavorful and spicy, take your pick of the menu and dig-in! read more

For a somewhat fast food vibe. 5 stars. The price is reasonable. I wanted to love the goat curry, but the sauce is not as thick as what I'm use to and doesn't have the kick I'm was looking for.
