Chaat Bhavan - Sunnyvale - Chili Paneer*, Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Extremely poor service on a Friday night. Our server, Mefildo, appeared indifferent throughout our visit. We ordered moringa soup, kulcha chole, and methi chaman with pesto naan. Despite following up four times, the soup was never served. Only the kulcha chole arrived, while the methi chaman and pesto naan never came even after multiple reminders. We also did not receive water refills. Eventually, we were so disappointed that we canceled the rest of the order and left the restaurant hungry read more

We ordered the following for lunch: Chana Bhavara; veg masala and veg Hakka noodles. I am not vegetarian so I had to eat a lot to fill up. I like chickpeas a lot. The bread was very good. Tasty sauces. Service was adequate and restaurant clean. Not too busy for lunchtime on a weekday. read more

It's not overly fancy, but Chaat Bhavan is probably one of my favorite reliable Indian restaurants in the Bay area. It's good and really reliable Indian food considering the expansive menu. We ordered a whole variety of dishes but my favorite is the chaat food - it wasn't too watery and was flavorful. They have great mango lassi also! Lots of options and are friendly to all spice levels and dietary restrictions :) read more

I've never had Indian food before!! What crazy I know, and I had been recommended this place and I thought why not! And I am so glad that I did I feel as if my palate has extended to new places, I understand why pani poori is so popular because wow what an explosion of flavors and textures. I as well enjoyed the plate because I feel as if I got to enjoy a little bit of everything without a commitment to something large which is nice for my first time. I would definitely come here again to try something new. As for the restaurant very very clean and nicely kept, it honestly gives kinda fancy. Def recommend read more

My 14 y.o. asked his friend group about where they go locally with their families for the best Indian food. That's what led us to Chaat Bhavan. This Sunnyvale location is about 20 minutes from our house so it isn't right around the corner but we'll travel for good food. I personally loved the Pani Poori, the street food with potato, onion, chickpeas and chutney in crispy shells with sauce. I also loved the Vada Pav, which was like a little slider with a spicy potato patty and garlic and green chutney. My wife always loves and orders Saag Paneer and this variant was one of the better ones we've tried. The Mango Lassi was excellent, the Samosas and the Biryani were both good but unremarkable and we preferred the Butter Naan over both the wheat and flour Roti options. My son's friends said to get the Malai Kofta and the Chana Bhatura also but we already had lots of food so we ran out of runway. Fantastic place with a lot of options very different from what we've ever had before. Loved it! read more

Had a chance to try Chaat Bhavan with the family and boy last week and enjoyed it! I have been here a few times before and tried the food many times, but didn't realize I never wrote a review! For someone who enjoys vegetarian Indian food, this is a spot for you. The prices here are good, and the food is tasty. The service is fast and there's options to take to go as well as eat in house. Last week we decided to eat at the restaurant and enjoyed it. We ordered: * papdi Chaat - delicious and crunchy, I would eat this again * gobi Manchurian - this was crunchy and crispy but also saucy, I enjoyed every bite of this thoroughly! * hakka noodles - the boy wanted this and now I'm happy he did but these were flavorful and yummy - would totally have this again! * malai kofta - I always enjoy a good malai kofta and this was definitely on point. The sauce was creamy and delicious and went well with the garlic naan we ordered * saag - this was yummy as well as felt creamy which was nice Overall the food was yummy and we enjoyed it thoroughly! read more

We went out for a fun and delicious family dinner and Deepak hosted us with great care. He was attentive, welcoming, and the food was so tasty. We also had small children with us, including our 1 year old toddler, and he and his staff were friendly and interactive with her, and made us feel at home (we weren't stressed being out to lunch with kids!). His warm heart and kind hospitality made our day. We appreciate him and would highly recommend the quality of service and food at Chaat Bhavan. Thank you!! Tara and Vik Lal read more

Oh Chaat Bhavan, a tried and true staple in my rotation of food spots. It's not the best but also not the worst and definitely better than a lot of other places. This spot is reliable for your basics - roti, dal, Chana, paneer, chaat etc. It is all veg so that's an edge over other places. Service is quick and friendly. Always clean and lively. read more

I highly recommend the Sunnyvale location (the OG one)! Even though they are always busy on the weekend and there's not a whole lot of parking, it's worth circling around and adding your name to the waitlist because the food is that good. Even on the busiest day, the most I've ever had to wait is ~30 minutes, so definitely don't let that deter you! Our go-to's are the gobi manchurian and chole bhatura. The gobi manchurian is always super crisp and flavorful, and the serving size of the chole bhatura is enormous - you get 2 bhaturas with a ton of curry. The service is also super fast, and the food never takes too long to come out. Definitely give Chaat Bhavan a try when you're in the area! read more

The service and space was very nice and clean. The menu was so massive, but the food wasn't very fresh and was a little greasy. I would stick to chaat/apps and avoid the entrees. The paneer tikka was very watery. Overall, it's okay and there are so many Indian spots in the South Bay which creates a very competitive environment read more

Dined in at the Sunnyvale location on a Saturday night. We ordered the veg Manchurian, dabeli, and samosa chat. Everything was ok and we felt lacked a bit of flavor. Pro: the dishes came out hot and fresh. Con: not much flavor. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes but we saw other tables ordering the same too The bathrooms were on the dirty side, users beware. We'd probably come and try other restaurants in the area before returning to this chain. read more

This was my first time here. We called for Chai, Sev batata Dahi puri, Chinese bhel, Papdi chat, Pani puri, Dabeli, Ragda Pattice, Sabudana vada, Masala chaas, Moong dal halwa and Falooda. Everything was very good. 10/10 to moong daal halwa and Papdi chat. Staff were very courteous. Ambiance was good. Will definitely visit this place again. read more

LOOOOVE THE PANI PURIS SO MUCH!!! The puri was crunchy, the pani was tangy, spicy, and fresh, the filling was also so fragrant and delicious with onions, potatoes, chickpeas etc. Super delicious and amazing flavor! read more

Always 5 stars for this place for the food freshness and taste. Be ready for some long wait times over the weekends. We went for lunch at 1:15 on a Saturday and had to wait almost 45 minutes to get a table for 6. They kept giving tables to groups of 2 and 4s before us. Its always very busy there, but the service is fairly fast. This is our go to place for good vegetarian food. The new July drink mohabbat ka sharbat is rose flavored milk drink with watermelon cubes. Its a good refreshing one to try. All chaat items are very good. My family loves going her on a non-busy day and enjoy the curd based chaats there.Chaat Basket read more

Really impressed with the caring service and freshly made food with its own unique touches here at Chaat bhavan. My favorite was the saag and makka rotis, hard to find across the bay, it was flavorful, rich and irresistible. I also liked their assortment of chaat dishes and a simple yet delicious thick aloo paratha. The chole were yum and the bhature puffy with great texture. read more

Lead here by a restaurant.com coupon giving us the wrong chain location. Regardless, the service is first rate, the food absolutely delicious, and served fresh from the kitchen. All home made delicacies. Very well seasoned, and spice adjustment is needed if you desire. Everything is vegetarian, but carnivors won't miss meat at all, as we definitely didn't. Items can also be made to fit a vegan diet. The atmosphere is appropriate for "fancy" or casual alike. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. read more

We got lunch catered for our grandson's first birthday last weekend. We had great food from Char Bhavan. The service was great and they supplied more than sufficient quantity of food. Chat Bhawan delivery was on time and decent. Everybody present loved the food. I would wholehearted recommend their methi-aloo and Tasdaal, both dishes were quite authentic in taste read more

My DoorDash order was mistakenly placed as a pickup instead of delivery. I called the store and informed them that I would place another delivery order and asked them to send both orders together. Unfortunately, the store only sent the delivery order blaming mistake made during shift change. As a result, I had to drive to the store myself, wasting about 45 minutes round trip. When I arrived, I requested that the bread be replaced since it had become cold, but the staff refused, even after I offered to pay for the replacement. I still made them place my order, no receipt was provided. While waiting, I overheard another customer call about a DoorDash issue. The workers didn't assist her, and after she hung up, they began cursing her in Punjabi. read more

Amazing chaat place. It is my favorite indian restaurant in the bay area. I am obsessed with their pani puri. It is very refreshing. My mouth is watering even seeing the picture haha Their naans are very chewy and savory. The rice is also a good pair with the curries. I have tried bunch of their curries over multiple visits. My favorite is Maki di Roti & Saag. I will always get some paneer dish and Saag. Every dish has little spiciness in them. Service is amazing and i would recommend to go between 6-7pm since it is less busy and you can park at the restaurant. read more

We enjoyed a takeaway order from Chaat Bhavan. Ordering was easy, the food was ready when we went to pickup. We ordered a house Talia, samosas, butternut squash soup and bahtula cholle. Lots of food and all of it really tasty. The breads were freshly made and delicious. Loved the cholle! Reminded me of Sunday brunch at Viks in Berkeley, in a good way! We'll be back! If you love rice, better order more, rice was a little skimpy. read more

We ordered chapati which was supposed to be ready by 4:30. My husband and I took turns waiting for an hour. It was still not ready at 5:30. I understand they are busy but then please don't take so many orders. We had to leave without the chapati. Very disappointed with their management. Will definitely never order catering from them again. read more

The dabeli didn't have pomegranate and it was some sweet syrup to make it all sweet. The falooda drink wasn't like the Indian falooda with both ice cream and drink. It felt like a strawberry shake with whipped cream on top but the server did tell there was a scoop of vanilla ice cream inside. Maybe it was already melted. The servers were sweet and helped us explain the dishes. read more

After a long day at work, we came to Chaat bhavan for dinner. Was able to quickly get a table as it was a weekday, don't expect the same on weekends as there are long waits. We ordered the House Thali and it was definitely tasty and bang for our buck. Two of us ate it along with extra paratha on the side. They also gave us complementary dessert to try which was also very good. Overall, will definitely be revisiting the place. read more

We love the food here! Superb quality. There is almost always a line here esp if you come during lunch time or dinner time ... very authentic indian flavors and taste. There are plenty of tables inside and they can accommodate many groups and families but there may be a wait time. The ambiance is usually super busy. We have been here twice and enjoyed both times. Food is always fresh! The best part is they can customize the spice level for my sons needs and he really likes the parathas here. We look forward to coming here again. read more

Before today, I last ate here the last time I was in Sunnyvale, prior to the pandemic. That meal left enough of an impression to convince me to walk a mile each way from my hotel just ten days after a knee surgery to eat here again, and it was well worth the walk. I visited on a Friday, and managed to get a table for one at 6.45pm without a wait. If I'd been five minutes later, I'd have been waiting as the restaurant filled up fast. The stuffed aloo paneer bread pakora was a special dish from the October festive menu, and tasted like it with a lovely blend of crispness and softness and delightful sauces. The Thali is always a winner here, and looks almost as good as it tastes. Hopefully it won't be so long between work trips this time so I can have another. read more

Chaat bhavan sunnyvale has long been a favorite restaurant of mine. Last month I took my family there for my daughter's birthday dinner. The food is always a hit with kids and elderly parents alike. We ordered malai paneer, mix veg, naan and chapati. My kid got her favorite pani puri. Everything was to the point as always but it was made surprisingly special by our server Yuvraj Singh. He was a jolly presence around the floor, playing with kids and interacting them while the parents got a moment to eat peacefully. He surprised my kid with a lava cake and ice cream birthday surprise at the end of the dinner. She was shy but equally happy to have such a special moment on her birthday. I've been a long time patron at this restaurant but sincere thanks to Yuvraj for making this one time extra memorable. read more
