    Huevos Rancheros Bowl delicious entree with a pinch  of spicy and beef bacon
    Thomas R.

    OK, this was my daughter's recommendation and guess what fantastic such a nice café. The meals had a cultural middle eastern spice too. So well prepared and great portions thanks to the recommendation of the counter waitress. Come to Chashni Cafe to unwind and catch up with friends, or enjoy a great conversation with a patron.

    Iced Spanish Latte
    Carina L.

    Service was spectacular I must have walked in as soon as they opened because I was the first person in there. I've been in the area a lot more lately and decided it was time to try out another cafe. After looking through the glowing reviews, I thought this was a great spot. The decor was very plush and inviting. I tried their Spanish latte which wasn't as sweet as I'm used to but it still got the job done. I also had their burrata tomato toast with pesto and I've had better but still tasted delicious. I think it was missing a little olive oil or onion to bring it together. Overall would return for the service alone to get some work done and try their matcha.

    Came here on a early Saturday afternoon to grab breakfast. Once I found parking (very difficult on a sunny Saturday in this area), I went in to order and sit down but there was a wait. I gave them my number to alert me when table would be ready. They text me within 10 minutes to alert me. I ordered my food, paid at the register and sat down to wait. This spot is cute and bright with ample tables and seating. I had a breakfast burrito and cappuccino, both were really good, filling and tasty.

    Good drinks and service! Will definitely try to visit again. The place is beautiful but can get crowded

    Another good experience. My second time going so I knew to request dressing on the side which can be spicy and overpowering. Grilled chicken on its own is flavorful. Fresh sourdough. Great service. Positive vibes in the restaurant. Large clean bathroom. Family friendly.

    My sister and I visited Chashni Cafe for Sunday brunch. You order at the counter and get a number to take to your table. I managed to snag the last table near the door, but while waiting, I noticed a spot further inside open up where the pastel décor could really be appreciated. I asked a staff member if I could move, and she explained that section is usually reserved for larger parties but offered to check with her manager. A few minutes later, she let us know we could switch to the frankly cuter, quieter area. The café has a cozy and welcoming vibe. I ordered an iced matcha strawberry latte, which good, though it could have used more strawberry. The huevos rancheros were hearty, flavorful, and spicy, which I didn't mind. My sister had a burger with cubed fries. She forgot to ask for the chipotle sauce on the side, so it was spicier than she expected, but she still enjoyed it. The cubed fries were a pleasant surprise, light and flavorful. She also ordered an iced blueberry coffee, which she liked. Overall, I'd recommend asking about spice levels when ordering. I enjoy a little heat, but for those who don't, it's worth checking first.

    The place is so cute and nicely decorated, plus a lot more spacious than it looks like from the outside! The girl that helped me was really sweet, but I do have to point out that it takes them a while for the drinks and food to come out - our fries came out 10 minutes after our burgers and the drinks took 15 minutes to come out. I got the spicy burger and it was okay, a bit below average even, but what I really liked was their sauce, I dipped the fries in them and it was sooo good. The fries were a nice surprise as they come in cubes (like home fries) which I wasn't expecting, but I really enjoyed them! I also got their green iced tea which was good and minty. Overall a nice spot.

    Masala home fries
    Karina A.

    This place is so cute!!! I really love the drink that I got which is a summer seasonal drink. Essentially it had mint, sparkling water and matcha in it. This was so refreshing! I downed it so fast. My favorite part of the drink was that they used definitely ceremonial matcha. Since the matcha was rich and did not taste earthy. The masala home fries was actually a side! So I feel like I got a decent amount for it being only a side. I liked how crunchy it was and it wasn't that spicy. I just started sweating after the fifth bite because I'm sensitive to spice it was still tolerable. The blueberry donut was super fresh! I also did not feel disgusting after eating which I normally do after donuts. I think because it's home made and fresh it was super satisfying since it wasn't sweet at all. The food came out super fast. So you order at the front then choose a table.

    Bowl
    Diana H.

    I was beyond blown away by the food at this restaurant. My husband and I were searching for a new place to try for brunch and there happened to be a parking spot right in front so we took it as a sign to go in. We tried a breakfast bowl that instantly made this place my favorite brunch place in town. And the masala potatoes. Goodness! Cannot wait to return.

    Desi breakfast bowl
    Sheila G.

    Absolutely loved this place! The girl at the counter was super sweet when I placed my order. I ordered the desi breakfast bowl, which was delicious. Something was spicy in the dish,I want to assume the masala potatoes? But not overly spicy, just enough. I also ordered the oatmilk chai, which was so comforting on the cold and rainy day. I wish it was refillable haha I wanted to order the gulabi waffle but it was just me eating so I didn't want to over order. However the family next to me got 2 waffles and with no shame I asked if I could take a picture haha not only did they say yes, but turned out the kitchen had accidently have them the extra one and they gave it to me! Tell me that wasn't God looking out LOL So glad I got to try it because wow! Not overly sweet, even with the ice cream. Perfect flavor combinations. I cannot wait to go back and take friends.

    honey cardamom
 latte
    Cara S.

    A much needed addition to the Montclair breakfast scene. We came here for breakfast and I was really impressed by the creativity of the menu. They offer traditional American breakfast dishes and drinks with a Pakistani twist. I got the Desi Omelet Parantha, a honey cardamom latte, and the Pakistani Chai. The honey cardamom latte was a standout, and is definitely my new favorite cup of coffee in Montclair. The omelet was very fresh and flavorful and came with dahl, parantha and spicy pickles on the side. Overall this is much needed break from the repetitive Montclair breakfast lineup. The service here was also excellent and fast. The gentleman behind the counter was the one who convinced me to get the honey cardamom latte, and as I mentioned above, I was not disappointed. He even made a seahorse latte art. The inside of Chashni is also very cute, and reminds me of a trendy (but still relaxed) NYC cafe. I definitely want to come back and bring some friends!

    Chai Tea
    Liza F.

    Another great addition to the Montclair food scene! This is a very inviting cafe on Bloomfield Ave. The decor is bright yet soothing with white and soft pink decor. The cafe is counter service, and if you order to stay, your food and beverage will be brought to your table. All of the staff were very pleasant and friendly. I ordered the Date Salad with Avocado and Grilled Chicken. This was a beautiful dish, packed with a variety of fresh ingredients. I polished it off happily. I also had a Chai Tea that was probably the best that I've ever had. Lastly, I had a Gulab Jamun Cake which was cardamom heavy in the best way. I really enjoyed my lunch here, and I am already planning on visiting again!

    Chashni Café - Montclair's Pakistani-American Brunch Spot in Montclair just got more exciting. Chashni Café brings South Asian flavors into classic brunch favorites -- think the Anday-Wala Burger with lentil patty and omelet, Egg Chicken n' Waffle with spicy maple chicken, and their standout Gulabi Waffle topped with gulab jamun and kulfi ice cream. Pair it all with a Rose Saffron Latte or traditional Chai for the perfect experience.

They're known for their water which is charged with crystals. We met Sandy who was kind enough to let us try some! Of course it tasted like your typical water but if you believe in everything around us having energy, get your water from here! They have 7 chakra elixirs to choose from and honestly I wanted to try them all but landed on the Heart Chakra Love Elixir. It was light, refreshing, and not sweet. The flavors weren't super pronounced honestly but I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought. I also had the opportunity to meet the owner Jaye who was super friendly and informed us of how the space is used, upcoming events, etc. The cafe itself is warm, welcoming, and relaxing.

It's cozy, genuine, and the kind of place where you can tell there's a lot of love going into what comes out of the kitchen. And speaking of that kitchen--you can see it from pretty much every seat in the house. Watching several cooks navigate what looks like an incredibly tiny space is almost mesmerizing. Somehow, they move around each other seamlessly, and the best part? The food comes out FAST. My wife went with the hummus, and it was creamy, flavorful, and delicious. But the surprise star on the side was the salted dried kale chip--such a simple little addition, but ridiculously good. Then came my pancakes. Out of this world. Small in diameter, but super thick, with a beautifully crispy exterior giving way to an interior that was fluffy, light, and airy. I've tried making this style of pancake at home countless times, and I still have absolutely no idea how to get that texture. The syrup and berries were the perfect finishing touches. Everything just worked. I've made and had soooo many pancakes in my life, and this is easily top 3 best. The Corner is the kind of place that makes you start planning your next visit before you've even left. I'll be dreaming about getting back to this Corner.

The Lentil Soup is a calm soup, not too salty, not too spicy, carrying natural lentil bean flavors, earthy and warm. The Naan is soft, savory, and like a tender fluffy pita bread with light seasoning. Aside from the meal, I think double checking utensils is so important in kitchen environments (where utensils are put to re-use). Thanks for being patient and understanding with my request to change spoons (the first time, in the photo, due to a food like stain, and the second time due to a dry dishwasher soap/milk like stain). Also, I think, if possible, replacing the fogging/smog-stainful-looking plastic like cups (for free water) with paper-like cups or by way of glass cups and metal-like pitchers may contribute to the eatery's ambience well.

My friends and I decided on 3 cakes: strawberry, Oreo, and chocolate. I don't think I will ever be returning - the cakes tasted old. The best way to describe it was a like it came from a chain supermarket - lacking flavor and not up to fresh quality. The only one that was edible was the chocolate slice. We felt so bad to have to throw away the other two cakes, but they were not good at all. It was a waste of money to pay so much for a slice and not eat it.
