I love this place so much, ever since the yelp event we had prior to the pandemic. There is a patio area to dine in or seating in doors. The interior is beautiful and very comfortable. My waitress was very friendly and efficient. It was lunch time so I had a Chaska salad made with oats,walnuts, lettuce and cucumbers. It was topped with buttermilk dressing. Soooooo good!!(I hadn't eaten salad since all the issues w lettuce, so this was a biggy.) I also had crispy Thai shrimp( they weren't crispy though. Still don't know why they were called that.) Absolutely mouthwatering. And the overall price for the meal was under $20. This was such a win all the way around. read more

Great lunch specials that are generous! Friendly staff and a beautiful interior make this spot a really nice place for a business lunch, a meet up with friends or a date night. read more

Love the food here! This is our third or fourth time eating here and it always impresses. The food is rich and flavorful. There's so much to choose from and you can tell each dish is bringing a unique experience to your taste buds. The service is also very good. Everyone is attentive and makes sure you're have a great experience. The only knock I have is that it is loud and makes it difficult to hear/converse with people. Otherwise, I love the food and will continue to eat here! read more

Had a really lovely dinner at Chaska! Tucked in the corner of Garden City towards the Anthropologie side of things, the interior is lovely and the perfect spot for a date night. Love the variety of their menu options and their extensive drink menu. My husband tried a lamb dish and I had the paneer. Both were great! Super flavorful and a solid portion. There were a ton of items on the menu we wanted to try. Will definitely be back! read more

My partner and I stopped in around lunch for a cocktail and a quick bite, settling in at the bar. The space is visually striking; large, expressive portraits hang on the walls, colorful throw pillows line the banquettes, and shelves of labeled spice jars sit in the corner like a little apothecary. The bar itself is dramatic, a wall of bottles backed by bold red shelves. It all adds up to a room that feels like someone put real thought into every corner. We ordered the Ginger Turmeric Martini, which is made with Citron Vodka on the menu but we swapped in ISCO Gin; a substitution the bartender handled without hesitation. He mentioned he adds a tiny pinch of salt to some cocktails to brighten them up, a small detail, but the kind that tells you they actually think about what they're making. The drinks were served in cut crystal coupe glasses with a small edible flower floating on top, and they tasted as good as they looked. For food, we went with the Chili Cauliflower and the Dal Makhani. The cauliflower came out crispy in all the right ways, each floret holding its texture under a sticky, lightly sweet heat with a bit of tamarind that shines right through; tangy, a little smoky, deeply savory. The Dal Makhani was exceptional. The lentils were cooked with real intention, not reduced to mush but offering just a slight pop, and the overall flavor was rich and complex in a way that made it hard to put the naan down. Speaking of which, the garlic naan (sans cilantro, seeing as my partner has the gene where it tastes like soap) arrives charred and pillowy in equal measure, loaded with bits of fresh garlic. The service matched everything else. We were greeted warmly, and the staff genuinely seemed interested in getting to know us rather than just moving us through. That kind of rapport is rare and, when you find it, you notice. A spot we love to visit whenever we are in the area, and for good reason. read more

Located in the corner of garden city. That means it's busy and parking is shared. You can make an RSVP online. Chairs are NOT size friendly. I would recommend asking for a booth seat. Staff was great. However, we told the server that we didn't want drinks at the moment, and she just took the menu anyway, so we just stuck with water. There will be multiple people tending to your table as they walk by. It's kind of cool seeing the kitchen. I think they have white noise or something, which was interesting. Korma was very good. Kabob was alright, chicken was cooked very good, but they give you a thimble of chutneys to dip. The korma sauce helped. Liked that they had vegan naan bread. They have a bar, but also have non alcoholic beverages from was we saw. Also, there are bar height tables as well as the ones surrounding the bar. read more

This place has a colorful and modern interior. The menu had the classic dishes I'd expect to see. I was greeted warmly and checked in by my server multiple times during my meal. I started with the samosa chaat. It was flavorful and crunchy and I really enjoyed it. For my entree, I went with chicken tikka masala. My server checked to make sure it didn't have tree nuts (I've been other places that use cashews and I have an allergy). I also got some garlic cilantro naan. The naan was pillowy soft, large, and delicious. The tikka masala comes with your choice of white or brown rice. I would have liked to have seen butter chicken on the dinner menu as well. There were several specials available and enough variety on the menu that I think everyone could find a dish they liked (soup, salads, lots of types of naan). This was a great meal and I'm looking forward to eating here again. read more

My friend and I decided to try Chaska and we were not disappointed. The space is bright and airy, we had a great window seat. We were seated quickly and the staff are lovely. We started with the Chili Cauliflower that had a delicious crunch to it with great flavor. We both decided to try something new and opted for the Saag Paner and Chicken Kadhai. Both dishes were flavorful with generous portions. So glad we didn't fall back on long time favorites. For dessert we split an upside down pineapple cake that was the perfect finish to dinner. Definitely give them a try! read more

I'm usually afraid of Indian food because it tends towards much more spicy than I go for but the girls decided on this place for a ladies dinner and it didn't disappoint! Everything was flavorful without being overpowering. My friends who got the spicier stuff said it was amazing! The cocktails were tasty! The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall a great ladies night! read more

I've eaten at Chaska a few times (both Garden City and Track 15). The attached photo is from Track 15 Chaska. It is always extremely tasty and I love that they have gluten free, vegan, and dairy free options. Great ambiance at the main their location too. I would have given 5 stars but only giving 4 because when I have done take out from here the portions were a lot smaller than what I would have gotten at the restaurant. read more

I stumble across this Gem, because I was looking for a Starbucks! The food was so fresh, I got the lunch special which was a pretty large portion. I ending up getting the lamb, garlic nun, mango lassi, and squash samosas. So good. The service was really good too! The restaurant was empty when I arrived and started to get crowded; however the waiter was still able to multitask and not forget about me. I would eat here again in a heartbeat! read more

Chaska deserves ALL of the praise. Chicken Biryani - A+ Delicious, flavorful, well balanced, touch of spiciness. I ordered it once many moons ago & have been craving it ever since. Had to order it again! Ginger Turmeric Martini - B+ Tasty & quaffable, like a fancy lemonade. It gave me a little bit of heartburn afterwards, but in the moment it hit the spot. Great service & comfortable dining room. I'm a big fan! read more

The food is very good. I used to go there for lunch a couple of times a month. The staff was always excellent. Great lunch specials. I went there for their lunch special with two friends to celebrate a birthday. No more lunch specials. So I ended up paying a lot more for taking my two friends out double what I planned on a corporate pour of wine the exact 5 ounces I'm sorry to say but I love having lunch there, but I'll no longer ever go back. I have a feeling that they've taken on too many restaurants and now it's corporate attitude. Also, the service was not what it used to be. I literally sat there for like 10 minutes before they asked if we wanted a drink it was only four tables with people and two were already served. Never came back to see if we liked the food. I don't get it what changed but again the food was good. read more

We always love Chaska. Love the spin on Indian food. Cocktails are great, service usually good recommend making reservations.

Chaska is a fun spot if you're in the mood for good Indian food! We were visiting from out of town and ate here twice on our trip! They do a great job at mixing traditional flavors with some creative fusion dishes, so there's something for both Indian food enthusiasts as well as people who are just trying to explore the cuisine. The food is flavorful and well-presented, and the vibe of the restaurant is modern and stylish. Service was AMAZING! 5-stars!!! Here is a quick run down of what we ordered and what we thought about it- *Avocado sweet potato chaat- flavors were good but subtle. Good for people who want a healthy starter. *Corn chaat- fantastic chat-pata dish. Loved it. *Dal Makhani- very good flavors, my toddler loved it. *Potato kulcha- so soft, pillowy, could use more filling and flavors though. *Zataar naan- super flavor and texture, Mixed opinion on the table as to whether it paired well with Indian dishes. *Corn Paneer flatbread- lovely subtle flavors, crispy at the bottom. Great for kids *Lamb Barra kebab- superb! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. *Saag- got a side for my kid. It was good for the kid. Need more flavors for me. *Jackfruit kofta- lovely flavors, kofta was well cooked and seasoned. *Chettinad curry- it was a little underwhelming on the flavors. *Laal Maas Lamb- wow! What a dish! Must order! Overall a good meal! Will definitely be back!!! read more

Chaska is my FAVORITE Indian restaurant. It's conveniently located in Garden City. The waiters are always friendly and attentive. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious! The restaurant is funky and lively. It's also very clean, which is very important to me. I love that I can see the kitchen. Try the Chicken Tikka Masala and a side of garlic naan. Amazing! You won't be disappointed. read more

This is THE Indian place to eat at in Cranston. The garlic Naan bread is a must to order, I also ordered the chili cauliflower and truffle seekh kebab. Everything tasted delicious! This order was delivered so I can only speak on the meal, I've been inside Chaska years ago and from my memory the ambiance was very relaxing. read more

Chicken Tikka tasted more like tomato soup with ketchup than anything else. Channa Masala and Saag Paneer were also not especially flavorful. Service staff was kind and attentive. The big window made for a nice atmosphere. Honestly, there is a "Little Chaska" at Track 15 with better food (although I wouldn't say good it is particularly good, either). read more

Run, don't walk here. Beautiful ambiance, spectacular food. Just walking in you're hit with the amazing warm aromas of Indian spices. Even as a solo diner, plenty of options. Today i opted for lentil soup and butternut squash samosas which both were well balanced and delicious. So glad I've found chaska! read more

I can't choose between the service or the food being the best here - they're both top tier. We've come several times, and the service has been attentive and incredibly friendly each time. Usually we get the chicken tikka masala, but this last time I got that with salmon instead - NO regrets.. it was so good! We also like to get the garlic and onion naan with roasted vegetables to mix with our entrees. This is definitely our go to Indian restaurant in the area. read more

Chaska - Indian Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

This was our second visit to Chaska in a month, and it was outstanding -- as good as the first time, which was superb. I am a retired U.S. diplomat who has traveled all over the world, eating Indian food in India as well as London and elsewhere. Chaska's dishes are delicious, sophisticated and unique, combining flavors and combinations I haven't seen elsewhere. For example, today we ordered the Bagara Baingan, an eggplant dish we have often enjoyed, and Chaska's version featured eggplant that was ground up and then recooked in a delicious sesame/peanut sauce. It made an old favorite even better! We also had wonderful aloo gobi (cauliflower/potato) and paneer (cheese) and pepper. Last time we enjoyed chicken tikka masala, always a favorite, and a delicious peri peri chicken dish. Chaska isn't your corner take-out; it's a beautiful space with a creative menu, friendly service, and food that soars. We highly recommend it! read more

We had a dinner reservation here on a Wednesday night and I would suggest making a reservation for dinner because it was busy! We ordered the chili cauliflower, onion/chili & fruit/nut naan, salmon tikka, chicken vindaloo, chicken biryani, and Peshawari chicken korma- we didn't leave hungry! Most of us found the portions to be just right although my husband wishes there was a a bit more but he eats a lot! Our server was lovely and even brought us all a little sample of their mango coconut rice pudding because it was my husbands birthday! The space is pretty, food was good, I would for sure go back again! Sorry for no pics but trust me, get the peshawari chicken korma and the fruit/nut naan. I don't think you'll be disappointed! read more

Was recommended this place by a friend. So glad I went! First off, the vibes are great. Wonderful Indian-inspired decor, the seating all matches, there's a big window into the kitchen and they make kebabs or something right there and it's Smokey and fun. Spoons were on the table in clay jars and there were dry flowers on the table and it just looked like a lot of work went into the atmosphere. Food-wise; wonderful. The menu itself was full of so many Indian classics with fun twists. I wanted to try everything. The appetizers alone had me in such a chokehold and my mom and I kept going back and forth on what we would try. We settled on the polenta calamari. It was good! Not the best calamari I've ever had, definitely on the chewier side. But the lightly fried calamari paired with the tamarind dipping sauce (I think that's what it was at least) was just so good! The naan bread was also a standout. So fluffy!! 10/10. I liked my saag paneer a lot, and again it wasn't the best saag I've ever had but it was still really good. I did try a bite of my mom's chicken korma and wow!! I might get that next time, unless I'm swayed by another one of their creative menu items of course. I also had a bite of the chili cauliflower and I thought that was also really, really good. I'd definitely come back here! The service was also great! The waiters were all very attentive and good at keeping our water filled and asking about our dinner. When they delivered the check in a cute little wooden box with an elephant painted on it, I was a bit disappointed that there was only the check inside, and no little candies or anything. But no big deal! I know now for the future. read more

Visited this place for lunch since I've been meaning to visit for a while. It's in Garden city plaza so parking was easy to find. The place is small but nice and outdoor seating available if weather is good. We were quickly sat down and service was great and very attentive. We ordered mango lassi and samosa chaat to start and it was very tasty. First time trying samosa chaat but would definitely try again. For main, we had chicken tikka masala and garlic cilantro naan. Both were great. Chicken tikka masala and naan were very flavorful and delicious. Rice was not quite enough to finish with chicken tikka masala so garlic naan was great addition to finish up with the dish. Overall, the experience was great only few thing that could have been better was that chicken tikka masala I would have liked it more creamy. Tomato was a little overpowering from what I was used to. Also price was on the higher side for lunch but its pretty standard for Indian place around the area. Definitely a solid place if I'm craving for some Indian food. read more

Such a pleasant experience ~ right from the start, staff was kind, refilling our water every chance they got, grabbing our empty platters, and prepping our table setting when the entree came our way. I even saw a waiter run to the parking lot, to return a customers purse she forgot on the table. I felt welcomed and comfortable. Food was filling and delicious~ the vindaloo was a 8/10 spicy and possible too spicy for those who can't handle spicy dishes~ I enjoyed the kick! The mango lassi was definitely needed to help me from being too spiced out~ but as always, a fun treat on the side too~ the naan was also delicious, dipping the sauce and scooping potatoes right into my mouth! I want to come back with my family because they seem family friendly and accommodating! read more

Everything about this place is vibrant and wonderful. From the food to the wall murals. Service was exceptional. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. You walk in and the place has such a warm yet cozy feel. Spacious and plenty of seating in the dining room as well as the bar. Plenty of options on the menu for everyone including vegan and gluten friendly. If you try just one thing let it be the dessert sampler! Every bite was heavenly. read more

I came here for a really early dinner on Christmas Eve and it was fantastic! The service was top notch- my water glass was never more than 25% empty and we were checked on throughout the night, but not at all in an overbearing way. The interior decoration is really nice and cozy. The food is great too, and the lamb seekh kebabs were to die for and the chicken korma was really good, although it could have been spicier. The Parle-G cheesecakes were sooo good and really nostalgic to me personally as someone who is Indian. I definitely hope to come back sometime soon! read more

Arrived at 5:20 for a 5:30 reservation. Sat at the bar until I had to remind the host we were there. Seated at 5:55. Our entrees (tandoori checked and saag paneer) were mediocre, reminiscent of dishes you've had it the past but missing something. Naan and the drinks were very good, wait staff were attentive. Noisy as well. read more

Amazing Indian food and service, the restaurant has. I love going there to try different dishes and the food quality is outstanding.

Where do I start? This restaurant checked every boxes we have on our list for a great dining experience. Ambiance - yes Service - exemploray Menu - Great Food - Delicious We wanted to dine in at an Indian place on the way to Connecticut and I have been reading good reviews of Chaska. I was a bit skeptical initially, considering how some of the comments were around how Chaska is modern Indian food/fusion and don't serve authentic food. But we decided to try it anyway. Wow, I don't know what's authentic anymore, the food we got is the best Indian food we had in a very long time. Chaska simply stands out in terms of both food and service. We made an online reservation before coming although we went after the peak lunch time. But this will be very helpful for dining in at peak times. The lunch portions are available until 3 pm, so we could opt for lunch options. Their menu has allergens clearly listed out and is great help for people who have allergies and eat vegan/vegetarian. The employee who helped us with the ordering was so sweet (I can't remember meeting an employee who is so knowledgeable of the menu like him in the recent time). He gave us very helpful suggestions and helped us with the spice level. We ended up ordering a few mocktails, lassis and a cocktail. The appetizers we tried are cauilfower 65, grilled paneer and chicken 65. We also ordered vegan garlic and onion/chilli naan, roti, jackfruit kofta (so innovative and yum), veg kadai (omg, I am still drooling), and chicken biriyani and chicken kadai. The best thing is we could specify the desired spice level and we could also specify how we wanted the gravy (like less creamy). We loved everything and didn't have room for desserts. But their dessert menu is equally impressive. I read that this place is owned by the same people who own many other Indian restaurants in Providence. My family and I had a great dining experience. And I highly recommend Chaska to everyone visiting Rhode Island. read more

Food: 1) chicken tiki masala stuffed naan- this was so good and cheesey too! Came with a side of mango chutney and baked lentils. Sooooo good! 2) butternut squash samosa- this was nicely baked and the flavor was good. Came with a type of Thai chili sauce for dipping which added to the flavor too! 3) jackfruit kofta- this was so tasty! I never had jackfruit in a dish before and let me tell you, I couldn't tell because it has a meat texture and was very flavorful. 4) pineapple upside down cake- this was so good, not overly sweet and it was topped off with a chocolate coconut icecream. What a great palette cleanser. Service: The staff was so helpful and nice. They always checked in on us and did not leave us thirsty lol Ambiance: This place is sooooo cute! Love the decor and the art. Great lighting as well. We noticed that they dim the lights closer to 7pm to give it a more intimate feel. * the only reason I didn't give it a 5 was bc there's a lot of good Indian food competition in RI. But this spot is still worth it! read more

Had a great lunch here recently and got to enjoy one of the last warm days of summer by sitting on their patio. The restaurant is tucked into a corner of Garden City. Plenty of parking if you're willing to be patient. Very good menu with some inventive, unique dishes. My chili cauliflower appetizer was so good. Not too sweet and had lots of Indian flavors. My meal was really incredible- the paneer and pepper masala had nice hints of roasted peppers and the sauce was so thick and flavorful. The cilantro and garlic Naan was just fantastic. It was generously coated with garlic and the bread was so soft and fluffy. I also tried the ginger lemonade mocktail, which was a little sweet for me but a nice complement to the heavier flavors. Overall great meal. read more

Took me a while to venture into Indian cuisine but Chaska certainly was the right place to do it--been back three times since initial visit 8 months ago! I'm a big fan of the harissa-spiced, grilled chicken tikka, while my companion goes for the lamb dishes. We split the generous fattoush salad and either the garlic-cilantro naan or Za'atar naan. Pretty decor, relaxed vibe and friendly team. read more
