    Aloo tiki chaat
    Zack R.

    I love this place. First of all, crossroads mall is easy for the whole family and it's right there by the frequent music acts. The woman that served today was really fast and friendly, and a real chaat artist based on how she put together our dishes. Specifically, we LOVE the aloo tikki chat. Essentially, if you didn't know, it's a potato croquette covered in well spiced sauces and garbanzo beans (like Chana masala). Then they add some crispy noodle pieces, some long strips of carrot, and maybe a sprinkle of bright pomegranate pieces. It doesn't always have every bit of that, but as I said, today I had an artist! The food was hot and flavorful, and we buy extra tiki on the side because we love our carbs and sopping up every drop of sauce. This was the first time I had pomegranate in there and I wasn't so sure at first but when they pop in your mouth it's this burst of flavor and cooling juice. Yum!

    Chole Bhature

    Everything on the chaat's special menu was something I wanted to try. Have to admit I haven't really had anything on the menu before so I can't really judge but we got the chole bhature and I definitely liked it. The bread was so puffy (and SO fried) and more than enough for 2 people. The chickpea we dipped it in was good, and the yogurt was light.

    at the prime location in crossroads mall! love their Samosa Chaat, it was tasty and Samosa was amazing! Katori chaat was little drier and while the paani for paani poori was ok, the poori could have been little better, was too hard. great atmosphere always, love to have an tasty chaat option closer to home!

    We stopped by for a quick snack and got the samosa which comes with some dipping sauce. It hit the spot and it was tasty.

    Lovely Dahi Puri!

    Great chat food and great chai! Would recommend for a lovely pit stop at the crossroads mall!

    Punjabi Tadka is the new Indian place inside the Crossroads mall. Went by this evening to try and it was okay. A fellow Yelp friend went by and I took his recs, ordered the Samosa Chaat- it was okay, can try once. I ordered the Annapurna Thali too- 2 curries, a naan, a bowl of rice, raitha and gulab jamun came along. It was panner curry and Aloo today, the panner was so watery and lacked salt. Overall, I don't think I ll try the Thali. Maybe sticking to chaat is a good option. For the price point, the quantities were good

    A relatively new addition to the Crossroads Mall food court which serves very authentic Indian vegetarian food. Paratha Thali is delicious and value for money. I picked it with aloo paratha and Amritsari Chhole (chickpeas). Amritsari Chhole are hands down the best in Greater Seattle area. On a different day, I tried Chana Masala (chickpeas as well) and they weren't as good as Amritsari Chhole. I will check their chickpeas special of the day before going next time. The Paratha had a good amount of stuffing which is rare at other places. The staff is friendly. Ambiance is that of a typical good court. They give electric buzzers which buzz when the order is ready and you can grab any open table.

    I have eaten here thrice. The first couple of times I had the dahi puri which was delicious. Today I tried the kachori chat which was equally yummy! Highly recommended!

    I felt sad. I had a favorite restaurant. I knew it couldn't survive The Plague, I knew the food was slowly getting worse, but I kept driving to Ballard, no matter how bad the traffic was. The staff was kind, passionate, and creative. The brand name & menu were wonderful. I liked the sign that said "No leather, no fur," and still do. But that sign became 200 empty seats, filled with an entire warehouse of cardboard & carry-out containers that would never be used. It wasn't a friend in the local Restaurant Game that broke the news. It was a friend from the Polish side of Chicago. Years ago, when we were both Vegan, she had used her language skills to find unbelievable Tempura & Ramen in Downtown & the International District. She moved back Home for the deep-dish pizza, hot dogs smothered in cream cheese, and a fiance I can't wait to meet. The text came at 10am: Coffee Time in the Rainy City, time to eat in the Windy one. We were both devastated. I knew I had to get in my car and start driving. Ignore my phone. Bury myself in a book. Too impatient to wait for Amazon, too flustered and overwhelmed to go to the Library. I floated, unmoored, until docking at Bellevue Crossroads. My strategy for Half Price Books was simple: Persuasion by Jane Austen, missed in high school; and The Queen's Gambit, by Walter Tevis. I found what I needed, and looked at the time on my phone. 3PM. Time for breakfast. Something simple, something cheap, I'm already right next to a food court. But I found something better. A brand new Chaat joint, displaying all the tools to go from 1 store in the mall, to a 5,000+ square foot Flagship, then five stores, then 15 across Puget Sound. Flat-screen TVs, not chalkboards that need to be edited by hand. Clover POS, tried & true, not Toast, which is revolutionary enough to have over 50% market share, but still in Beta (millions of stakeholders in my industry are on edge, waiting to see if Toast's upcoming software update will be Toast 1.1, or Toast 2, Electric Boogaloo). I like Clover because it already works. And I liked the Talent I saw - people skills, tech skills, culinary talent, and leadership. I googled a few things on the menu, then approached the counter. We started talking. He asked me about my spice tolerance three times. Would've kept asking me, if I hadn't told him that my life & palette started 100 kilometers outside of Dubai, and I welcomed an attempt at culinary assassination. "As spicy as YOU can handle, bro."   What I ordered doesn't matter. It's my favorite spot now. I'll be back, and I want to try everything.

The meal also comes with Naan, it was 3 nice sized pieces. They were hot and tasted fresh. The presentation was nice as my expectations for food court food a slightly lower. Getting it "for here" over "to go" probably helped with that. I'd consider going again but definitely would try for a lunch special to save a few bucks.

The restaurant was…read morestill pretty bumping, but there were plenty of folks including us who were just there for dessert. I'd say overall, the menu was a little pricey, but they've got some pretty unique offerings. Parking is pretty easy as it's a shared lot with crossroads. Malaiyo is effectively just textbook light, whipped cream with a ton of saffron. They definitely don't skimp on the saffron, so if you enjoy that floral, slightly herbal flavor, this will be the dessert for you. Jalebi Rabri came out piping hot and it's got a crunch that once you bite through, the sugar syrup just gushes out. It's definitely tasty, but it was SO sweet. I'd probably put in an order and share this with a group as more than one in a sitting might be a bit tough. Banarasi Lassi was just a little tart, creamy, and had a little bit of saffron swirled through. It had just a touch of the floral saffron flavor and the sliced almonds on top were a nice touch.

If you go, get the smokey soya chaamp and keep expectations chill for everything else.

I placed my order through Yelp, which redirects customers to DoorDash for fulfillment. Unfortunately, there was no option to specify the spice level for the paneer masala side dish, despite the restaurant description highlighting customizable spice levels as part of its offering. Because I have health-related dietary concerns, I called the restaurant immediately after placing the order to request a mild spice level. The staff member who answered was initially unable to locate my order, even after I spelled out the name multiple times, which significantly delayed the process. My husband later called and was able to get someone to find the order, but when I called back again to confirm the mild spice request, I was told it was too late to make any changes. I also had an earlier issue when I accidentally went to the wrong location and called for assistance. Rather than providing the Bellevue location's direct number or helping redirect me, I was placed on hold multiple times, which added to the inconvenience. While the food itself was excellent, the customer service and ordering experience were disappointing. Since the Yelp/ DoorDash ordering flow does not allow customers to specify spice preferences for certain items, I expected more flexibility and consideration when I called immediately after placing the order with a reasonable health-related request.
