    Pesto naan with Methi chamath
    Prem D.

    There was a monthly special menu and holi special 3 course menu. We did not do the holi special but we did order one item from monthly special. It is long time since we have been here on Friday night it was crowded though. We ordered the sprouts bhel , it was ok but for sprouts bhel we want to see more sprouts than normal bhel. It was there but not prominent as it should be. Kollu soup was ok, spices were on the milder side. Pesto naan with methi was best of what we had, zthe Naan itself was well nade and had right amount of pesto on it. The methi side with paneer was good and we can feel the freshness in the dish. It was also accompained with onion and pickle with lemon missing. Service was good, but cleaniness is much desired. You can see all the chaos in kitchen when you use washroom also the utensils are old worn out.

    Garlic Naan

    Even though the place was packed and plenty of waiting, we got our table quickly. This was our first dinner time visit (been here several times for snacks and chai). Orders were taken quickly and appetiser arrived immediately. Sabudana vada were a little on the small ish size for just 2 per order. Everything else was fabulous - kofta was soft and curry was nutty and creamy. Daal makhani 24 h was mind blowing. Naans tend to be little bit on a thicker side here. Roti were soft and hot. Noodles though not really hakka style, tasted really good with chili garlic, hot sauce taste. Chai was hot and perfect! All in all good vegetarian food one stop shop for to snacks, chaat items and family dinner.

    Katori chaat

    So good! When we dined in, we ordered: - the chaat combo which included two chaats of your choice along with a beverage of your choice plus papad. We got the hara bhara bhel and the sev batata dahi puri along with a chai - methi poori with aloo bhaji While the chaats were great, we were blown away by the methi poori and aloo bhaji. We inhaled the dish so no photo! I've never had it elsewhere but I wish other restaurants would serve this tasty dish. One star off for their service. They sat us in a corner and no one came to take our order. I flagged someone down and even then it took them a while to send someone and no one acknowledged the long wait.

    House Thali
    Bindu A.

    It has been a while since we visited Chaat Bhavan. Bhel thali used to be a default order on most visits earlier. This time I ordered regular thali. So underwhelmed with the items on the thali. Except for dal and dal makhani, not a single item tasted good. Previously we used to see khadi/chole/paneer dishes on the thali. The rest two curries were aalo stir fry and another aalo curry. There was a halwa and another namesake dessert, seemed like diluted version of rabdi with nothing in there. Completely disappointed with this when I was hoping to eat their nostalgic thali. Samosa chaat too lacked chole. Disproportionally more samosa than chole.

    Heard a lot about chaat Bhavan and decided to give a try. Service was pretty good and servers were attentive and quick. Place was clean, and organized. Now coming to food, ordered dahi batata chaat (very good), hara bhara bhel (average), veg lollypop (pretty good) and a sandwich (average). Overall food was ok but I have had better in the Bay Area.

    Chana samosa
    Pranathi B.

    I have been here more times than I care to admit. Catered almost 3-4 times as well. Food used to be excellent, this was the gold standard to compare against other restaurants. But over the years the quality has fallen down. I catered for an office event as well and it ended up being disastrous. Our most recent dining experience was literally eye opening to make us realize this place wasn't what it used to be. I have a hunch that their best/star chef keeps moving to their newest location leaving behind the other branches with recipes which the cooks can barely replicate. Anyway, this time we got Chana batura, chole kulcha, Chana samosa and, just for kicks, Hakka noodles. The dishes were bland across the board and the Hakka noodles were floating in oil.

    Chole Bhatura
    Sangeeta P.

    I was craving Chole Bhatura and found this place close by on Uber Eats. I compared the price for the same dish at a couple of other places and this place seemed reasonable. The place is in a small strip mall in Sunnyvale and has ample parking, when I went to pick up the food, it was later in the afternoon and it was not too crowded. This place is vegetarian and has an extensive menu - chaat and regular dishes. You can ask for spicy or not spicy and I picked spicy and boy was it spicy! I got a good size container of chaat and 2 bhaturas. I asked for some mint and tamarind chutney and they gave me 2 small containers without any question. I was prepared to pay but didn't need to. There is only inside seating and the place was not full. The tables are well spaced out and service was prompt. My food was ready when I got there and it was piping hot. The bhatura itself was soft and chewy and the chole was very tasty but watch out if you ask for spicy, it may be too spicy for some people to handle. It was too spicy for me but I still enjoyed the food. Looking forward to exploring their menu more!

    Quality is slowly slipping away. There a lot of difference in the taste from before. Feels like someone is cooking with measurements

    the food is super good!!! there's so many options, and a ton of bread ones which is great. lots of vegetarian options which is great. the prices were very good and so were the serving sizes! we went on a friday afternoon, and it wasn't busy so we got sat super quick. our server was sukhmandeep, and he was great! he was super helpful and polite, our food got out fast and he checked to make sure our order was right and everything was good. because we lack spice tolerance, we ordered everything mild/no spice and he was very accommodating and nonjudgment with that.

    Stopped by Chaat Bhavan for dinner and it was popping Saturday night around 8:30 when my friend and I dropped by. We snagged one of the last tables. It's a vegetarian restaurant with a large selection of chaat and snacks as well as curries. Please note that a large number of items on their menu are starred as Jain, which means no onions or garlic, so keep that in mind when you order. My friend and I shared one of our favorites - chana bhatura ($12.99) - as well as one paneer bhurji roll with plain paratha ($13.99). We liked the bhatura, but the chana / chickpea curry tasted like something was missing. We thought it might've been because it was made the Jain way with no onion and garlic. Neither of us liked the paneer bhurji roll. It was super bland, for one, and incredibly oily. Would recommend skipping this.

The soups are relatively flavourful for vegan broths. The curry fried rice is delicious as well. I also appreciate the variety of drink options made with vegan milk substitutes. The service is pretty fast considering how busy it gets. Some of the workers can't speak much English, but it hasn't been an issue. Southeast Asian food can be very meat-heavy, so places like this are great. If your vegetarian friend is ever craving Thai or Vietnamese food, bring them here!

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! PS- when you pay the bill ( you have to order and pay the bill before you eat at a room next to the dining area), do enter your phone number at the end and enroll in the loyalty program. I already redeemed an award today!
