The best Indian food I've ever had!! Not even exaggerating!! You must get their Malai Paneer, it's life changing. Staff are always so nice and take great care of us. This is our go-to weekend spot and we'll keep coming back until we die. Love it!!!!
Best Indian food in an area where there are a lot of other competitors. They do their food the best here. It comes out quick, the prices are great, and the service is awesome.
Food is good and feels just like home! If you are looking for typical North Indian food you have to try the Bhel thali here! It has all the options and comes with option of chaas or tea! And the prices are super reasonable The service is also lovely with vey good and polite staff
First time here and we'll certainly be back! We came on a Friday evening and the restaurant was bustling. We were kindly greeted and seated at a 2-top in the attractive dining area. There were so many dishes to choose from, but we settled on three to share: pani poori, chaat samosa, and Makki Di Roti & Saag. All were flavorful and delicious. To drink I tried the chass, a refreshing buttermilk drink. Portions were generous and prices fair. We look forward to trying more dishes!
Prabhjeet was our waiter and the food is AMAZINGGGG. I love it. I feel grounded and healthy.
Great food every single time, and great service too. Very reasonable pricing is the cherry on top
Amazing service , excellent food,and the food came in fast. We love it here! Gobi Manchurian is superb!
The manager at the Mountain View branch Sukhdeep is brilliant. She is always on the floor working whenever we've been there and overlooking operations herself. The quality of the food has been consistently good since we started going here. Highly recommend their catering, very well packed and customizable.
Their food always hits home! The thalis are great, malai paneer is always amazing, the okra is SO good! The bhel is a big dish so enough to be shared with friends! The chai is the only thing that I think could be better. I feel like it used to be better? But maybe it's because I'm adding my own sugar not having them add it for me. The staff was kind and helpful, plus this restaurant (as the newer I think) is so much prettier than the other branches I've been to!
Chaat Bhavan always hits the spot when you want an authentic street food fix -- I frequent this place and have also ordered catering from here once. They have all the classics as well monthly specials that rotate. This time, we got the dabeli, Vada pav, and dahi sev poori. The dahi sev poori was our favourite because of the balance of the sweet and salty flavors. The dahi was rich and thick, unlike the watery stuff you'll sometimes see at restaurants. Impressed! The dabeli was also good and had a coconut masala inside, packed with peanuts. I would get this again too. The Vada pav was a bit of a miss and had a kind of medicinal smell to it that I could t get behind. The potato inside was also too salty. The masala soda here is absolute fire so I would 100% recommend that! The restaurant is clean and comfortable and usually has no wait unless you come on a busy Saturday evening.
