I had the hakka noodles for lunch from a work delivery service, they were pretty good. Noodles were very tasty but would have been better if there was more vegetables, it was like 80-90% noodles. Portion size was generous, enough for leftovers. The menu has lots of vegan options and is well labelled. read more

Always Always great food and great Service. Gary has managed to grow his people well and have them handle and manage the new Chaat Bhavan locations. Enjoyed the Santa Clara location at ElCamino Intersection with 237 End. Keep up the good work. Great Food. Super Humble and Polite People. Gary Singh himself is so humble and down to earth and his values trickle across all the restaurants and how they are run. God Bless Chaat Bhavan Always ! read more

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! read more

We came here after our play at a theater nearby. The waiters are very nice though the service is a bit on the slower side. You don't see many purely vegetarian Indian spots often and so this place is great for our vegetarian friends, including the one we brought here. The food was super hot and made fresh. We also ordered like 4 entrees 2 orders of naan, another appetizer puri puri, and another order of bread. For all of that, it was just over $90. Although guy the waiter made a mistake and gave us an entree and naan order that was not ours, we gave them the entree back but they let us keep the naan without charge. The place has a good amount of booths and a nice ambiance. The service can be a little bit slow but overall still attentive. We were happy with our food here even though most of the group is not vegetarian. read more

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! read more

Authentic and delicious vegetarian Indian cuisine. I absolutely love that they have Dahi Batata Sev Poori, Bhel Poori, and other street food dishes that you don't always see served at some Indian restaurants. Both the Dahi Batata Sev Poori and Bhel Poori were so refreshing and nicely balanced with all the different textures combined - delicately crispy, creamy, and flavorful... using the right spices and sauces. Bhel Poori in particular comes with fresh pomegranate and cilantro which gives it such a rounded finish! The Sev Poori also kept its crunchy exterior while still holding onto its puffy form encasing spicy, sweet, savory, salty and tangy flavors with delicious yogurt, spices, potaoes, chickpeas, chutney and tamarind sauce. Luckily, Chaat Bhavana has several spots in the Bay Area! So, I now get to stop by whenever I crave those favorites snacks/appetizers. I recommend the snack combo, which comes with 2 appetizers (8 different dishes yo choose from) and either a tea, soda, or chaas drink for $14.99. 2 to 4 can share this appetizer. Good deal, and you get to try a nice selection! I also ordered the spinach paratha flatbread, which comes with a side of cooling yogurt raita, sliced raw onions, and spicy pickled amla (gooseberry). The paratha came out warm/freshly made. Beware the amla can be fairly spicy for those not familiar with Indian levels of spice - so the yogurt raita chutney paired nicely to help cool things down as a chaser to the spicy pickled amla. Drinks: Indian tea (black tea with milk and masala spices) which came with the snack combo or would be $2.99 by itself. Masala soda $3.99 (refreshing soda infused with lime, masala spices and fresh ginger leaves). Highly recommend this drink. We will definitely be back to try their other dishes. read more

Super fresh, hot, very tasty vegetarian Indian food! I know there are many restaurants that offer similar dishes but this not the case here. You can really taste the difference with the freshness of ingredients and prepared hot as you order. Would say probably best Indian vegetarian I have eaten in a while! Malai Paneer - oh my!! This is the bomb I had one bite and it knocks you out. It's not greasy at all, it's not the rubbish other places serve with cream and tomato. You taste freshly made cashew based, deeply flavorful sauce, with crispy garlic naan, onion and aachar. You cannot leave without having this! We also got the thali and the dahi batata sev poor both were great. Again everything freshly made and very tasty. The ambience is nice, private booths, everything is very very clean! The servers were very courteous and checked in on us regularly. They were also very sweet to our kid and made them feel special. Well done Chaat Bhavan, I dare say I like this branch of yours better! This will be a regular fixture for us!! read more

There was a lot of of variety with many tasty curries. I didn't care for the one that was cold and had raw onions. My favorite was the saag paneer. I also really enjoyed the paratha.

This was my first time at the Mountain View location, and it was a very satisfactory meal. Our party of two ordered two dishes (House Thaali and Dal Makhani), and both were wonderful. We're not vegetarian, but we enjoyed the opportunity to eat a delicious plant-based spread. We were surprised by how filling the food was, and there were leftovers we took home. I appreciate that Chaat Bhavan not only has tasty food, but it has a clean/neat interior and the service is top-notch. The staff was so kind and took good care of us, checking in to make sure we liked our food and to offer water refills. I'll be back. read more

History

Established in 2009.

Chaat Bhavan is one of the most popular Indian Vegetarian family-run restaurants in the Bay Area, California. The restaurant represents 10+ years of experience and expertise and our unique recipe. At the heart of the business is devotion to authentic, fresh, and superbly prepared food. Making us truly "The Only One Of It's Kind." In 2001, when Gary Singh came to Bay Area, California, there were not too many choices for homemade-style vegetarian Indian food. At that time, he was the first to think and to open a proper Indian vegetarian restaurant. He studied that him and other Indian residents were missing the taste of homemade food from India. Thus, Gary Singh and Family decided to open the first Chaat Bhavan Vegetarian Restaurant in Fremont in 2009. His family helps him in running the restaurant and enjoyed interacting with customers and improving the restaurant based on that feedback. It is hardwork, day and night.

At first I thought that tiffin will be enough for us but then my kids quickly gobbled the idli and mini dosa and wanted more. So I ordered another plate of only idlis( has 3 big soft fluffy ones) and also took advantage of the happy hour to order a masala dosa for me. I am not the kind of mom who eats kids leftovers all the time. So I wanted my own dosa. For drinks, I did a medium strong filter coffee ( they make it to your customization and I was surprised to see they even had jaggery). My 9 year old took a mango lassi. Food was incredibly satisfying. Servers are very attentive and they came three times to our table offering more chutney and sambhar. We already had enough but if you like more sambhar and chutney with your food, this is heaven. One server even came with ghee for my little ones for idlis. I was so grateful. He was genuinely sweet to my kid. Felt a connection than just a business! Ambiance is classy and relaxed at the same time. Nobody gave me the side eye when my three year old was a little noisy. Have a corner for takeout containers for leftover food, very generous. I would highly recommend this place for its delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Prices are reasonable. They have happy hour daily from 3-6 pm and when we went at 5.30, the restaurant was more than 70% full on a Thursday. Eat early and save money too. We really had a very good time!

Tonight I was craving a home style chicken and rice dish similar to what my mom makes . Now I know it's not possible to get that from a restaurant, but the closest to that is the Donne biryani preparation that a few places offer in the Bay Area. So I looked up Yelp and found this spot. The fact that it already had 4.9 stars was reassuring but I didn't put too many expectations on it. But what I did was call the place and make sure they'd be open by the time I made that 28 mile drive. I spoke to a person named Sagar who took my order and told me to take my time getting there and drive carefully! Husband and I got there around 9:30pm and it's a cloud kitchen setup with kitchens in the back and a point of sale kiosk and counter at the front. As instructed I called Sagar and he came up to the counter with my food, and also let me know he had added a free dessert since I drove all the way from Hayward . Husband and I got home and immediately dug in and what can I say, the flavors totally took me back to my mom's kitchen. The Donne biryani was bursting with taste, and what made it superb was that the flavors were in balance, with neither the spices nor the aromatics being overpowering in any way. The other dish, the pepper chicken was epic by itself, and should have been enjoyed with a bread of some sort, because the biryani didn't need any accompaniment. As if this meal wasn't divine enough the cherry on top was the pineapple kesari dessert that Sagar kindly added to our takeout bag. Thanks Nalapaka, for a taste of home, away from home !

Some of the best restaurant discoveries happen by complete accident…read more We were actually on our way to AnnachiKarahi when gps informed us it had moved and been replaced by Charminar. While my husband drove, I quickly pulled up the Yelp page. The menu immediately caught my attention, but I'll admit I was hesitant. There were only a handful of reviews, and the ratings didn't quite match the ambition of the menu. Still, Hyderabadi cuisine is one of India's great culinary traditions, and it's surprisingly underrepresented in the Bay Area. Curiosity won. I'm so glad it did. Having visited Hyderabad, I know it as a city obsessed with food, a place where recipes reflect centuries of Nizami, Mughlai, Persian, and Telugu influences. While many restaurants here advertise themselves as Hyderabadi, they often stop at biryani. Charminar embraces the breadth of the cuisine, with everything from mandi and gongura specialties to chicken sukka, Mughlai curries, and, on weekends, freshly made rumali rotis. That alone made me stop and take notice. The restaurant itself is warm and inviting, with tasteful artwork celebrating the Hyderabad cityscape and the iconic Charminar. The staff matched the atmosphere: genuinely welcoming, knowledgeable, and eager to guide us through the menu without ever rushing us. The meal began with refreshing drinks before quickly moving into what became one of the highlights of the evening: the kebabs. The Lasooni Kebab and the Malai Kebab were exceptional. Both were astonishingly tender the kind of tenderness that only comes from patient marination and careful cooking. The Malai Kebab, in particular, was outstanding. Delicate notes of ginger and garlic layered into a creamy marinade, finished with the unmistakable whisper of charcoal smoke, created a kebab that was elegant rather than heavy. It was one of the finest versions I've had in the Bay Area. For the mains, we ordered the Chicken Sukka and Lal Chicken alongside the weekend rumali rotis. Paper-thin, almost like silk, they arrived impossibly soft and stayed that way throughout the meal. Anyone who has searched for authentic rumali roti in the Bay Area knows how rare that is. Too often they become rubbery within minutes. And it's rare to find it on menus so get your hands on it (weekends only!) The Chicken Sukka was my favorite curry of the evening. Layers of roasted coconut, deeply caramelized onions, warming spices, and beautifully cooked chicken came together in a dish that was both rustic and deeply satisfying. The Lal Chicken surprised me. Given the name, I expected assertive heat, but instead found a curry that leaned sweeter and tangier than anticipated. Not a flaw, just a different interpretation than I had expected. And then came the dish that reminded me why Hyderabad occupies such a revered place in India's culinary landscape. The Gosht Dum Biryani. If you visit on a weekend, don't overthink your order. Get it. Anyone can pile onions and masala onto rice and call it biryani. True dum biryani is a lesson in restraint. Every grain of rice should carry the perfume of saffron, whole spices, stock, and meat, without relying on excess seasoning. The rice itself should be compelling enough to eat on its own. Charminar gets this exactly right. Every spoonful was fragrant and beautifully balanced. The lamb was meltingly tender, yielding effortlessly from the bone, while the mirchi ka salan added earthy warmth and the raita brought just enough freshness to complete the experience. It was, without question, the standout dish of the evening and among the better Hyderabadi biryanis I've had in the Bay Area. The most exciting part is that we barely scratched the surface of the menu. Finding a restaurant that doesn't simply borrow Hyderabad's famous name but genuinely celebrates the diversity of its cuisine is rare. Charminar feels like it was built by people who understand what makes the city's food so beloved. What a wonderful addition to Sunnyvale. I sincerely hope the community gives this restaurant the attention it deserves. We'll certainly be back Congratulations to the Charminar team.

During our recent family outing, we decided to try something new and landed at Chaat Bhavan. I must admit, being a meat lover, I was skeptical about a complete vegetarian meal fulfilling my dinner expectations. However, Chaat Bhavan not only met but exceeded those expectations splendidly! Even with a large party of 14, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive and managed our diverse needs without any hitches. Given the size of our group, we chose a variety of dishes, and each was a hit. Here's a quick rundown of what we ordered: - **Roti, Poori, and Paratha:** Freshly made, piping hot, and perfect to pair with the curries. - **Malai Pannur:** Undoubtedly a stand-out dish, creamy and packed with flavors. - **Samosa:** Crispy on the outside with a perfectly spiced filling. - **Saag:** Rich and flavorful, it paired beautifully with the breads. - **Sprouts Bhel:** A refreshing and zesty dish, it was a perfect palate cleanser. - **Hakka Noodles:** We got both spicy and non-spicy versions to cater to everyone, especially the kids, and both were spectacular. It's rare to find a place that makes you forget the absence of meat from a meal, but Chaat Bhavan did just that. The spices were so well balanced and every dish had a distinct flavor profile that was thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and welcoming, perfect for family gatherings. It's not just a meal but an experience that caters to all the senses. We left the restaurant with satisfied bellies and smiles on our faces. Chaat Bhavan has made loyal customers of us with just one visit. We are already looking forward to our next meal here. If you're ever in the mood for some vegetarian fare and want to be pleasantly surprised, give Chaat Bhavan a try--highly recommended! read more

Chaat Bhavan in Mountain View, California, is a gastronomic haven for those seeking authentic Indian vegetarian cuisine. From the moment I stepped inside, the warm ambiance and aromatic spices in the air set the stage for a memorable dining experience. The extensive menu offers a wide variety of options, but my personal favorites include the fragrant Biryani, the mouthwatering Paneer Tikka, and the heavenly Malai Kofta. Each dish was a symphony of flavors, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. What truly sets Chaat Bhavan apart is their commitment to using the freshest ingredients and traditional recipes. It's evident in every bite, whether you're enjoying their crispy samosas or indulging in their creamy desserts like Gulab Jamun. The service is attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home. Whether you're a devoted vegetarian or simply looking for an incredible dining experience, Chaat Bhavan is a must-visit. It's a place where the rich tapestry of Indian flavors comes to life, leaving your taste buds dancing with delight. My visit here was nothing short of exceptional, and I can't wait to return for more culinary adventures. read more

If you're craving authentic Indian street food and regional specialties, Chaat Bhavan is an absolute gem. I came here on a whim and now I'm completely hooked! Let's start with the Bombay Vada Pav--a total knockout! Perfectly spiced potato patty, crispy on the outside, soft inside, nestled in pillowy pav with that signature garlic chutney kick. It instantly transported me to Mumbai's bustling street corners. What truly sets this place apart is their monthly menu--a rotating celebration of India's diverse regional flavors. Every dish I've tried has been packed with flavor and thoughtfully crafted. It's like a culinary tour of India, one plate at a time. Favorites? The Aloo Paratha is comforting and rich, stuffed just right and served hot with butter and yogurt. And don't even get me started on the Moong Dal Halwa--warm, nutty, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It's the perfect sweet ending. Flavors here feel both nostalgic and elevated. Whether you're a longtime fan of Indian cuisine or a curious foodie, Chaat Bhavan delivers every single time. read more

Decided to try this place based on its Yelp ratings and past experiences with Moksha catering. Unfortunately, our recent takeout order left much to be desired. The dal makhani was average at best, lacking the rich flavors we were expecting, while the baigan bharta had an overwhelming tomato taste, almost resembling a tomato chutney rather than the traditional dish. On the bright side, the takeout service over the phone was excellent, and the food was ready in a short amount of time. It seems like the high ratings might be for other dishes that we didn't try, but based on our experience, we won't be coming back. read more

We chose this place for my son's birthday, but it didn't turn out well. There was no effort from the manager to acknowledge the occasion, and the wait for food and basic things was really long. Even getting ice and napkins took much longer than expected. We needed to ask many times for them. What bothered us more was being told about extra taxes only after we had already paid.

The chaat was served quickly, but our dal rice took a very long time to arrive, almost by closing time. The waiter also seemed tired and came across as a bit rude when we paid the bill. Since it's a newly opened restaurant, we're sure things will improve. Wishing the team all the best!

This is a fantastic place. Just go and enjoy…read more We saw it all the time but never dropped in. With so many options in South Bay, expectations were high. And we were still blown away. It's a big place. With spacious booths for 4 on sides and tables for 4 in the middle. Friday evening was packed. (Which is a good sign) we went a tad bit early, before 7:30 and got a place to sit immediately. By the time we left just after 8, there was a wait for 10-15 mins. Food was excellent. Yummy! Portion sizes are big. We had snacks combo and chose Bombay bhel puri and dahi aloo sev puri, along with chaas. Amazing taste. We tried methi poori with aloo sabzi. It was tasty. Best part was - not oily at all! Same with Ambarsari naan and Chole. Otherwise the entrees have layer of oil in number of other restaurants. And not salty at all. In fact almost to the level where we were wondering if we should add dash of it to entrees but didn't. Again that is a good thing. Servers are prompt and friendly. We will definitely visit again.
