We visited Chaat House on March 12th with family. The food was not bad . ambience is poor . Furniture /sitting arrangements was poor/not cleaned properly. They have installed two Statues of Hindu Goddesses Lord Shiva and Parvati . Both statues were full of dirt . I give one star . Subhash read more

Had Karai Paneer with Roti and Aloo paratha. Roti were nice and soft. Aloo paratha was average. Karai Paneer was a bit too oily.

The palaak paneer (steamed spinach and cheese cubes, for those less enlightened than I) is great. I couldn't stop eating it. The flavor is perfect for both aspects of the dish, and it stayed warm in the packaging even when I made it home (not THAT far but still). Also, I liked how they stapled the bag closed so I had no chance to spill the contents. That said.. it was slightly slow and the guy is not very friendly (I think he's the only guy, as he was there when I went there long ago). Also, I hope you know more about Indian food than I do, because I have my dishes I recognize (like the above) and then after that I generally need explanations. You ain't gettin' it here! And if I am going to resort to profiling, no one else I saw in the establishment probably needed any explanations. = I think the only reason this really mattered in my case is that the combo appeared to be a much better deal, but I couldn't even tell what categories of items were being referred to in the combo descriptions! Huh, I should have taken a photo and gone home to research. Anyway, expect an update if I ever put all the thought into it that I probably should. Random thought... why does Chrome know the word "paneer," but Android doesn't? read more

Chaat House Sunnyvale Wolfe - To go palaak paneer - Indian Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

One of the worst experiences I've ever had with takeout at a restaurant, and easily the worst indian food I've ever had. We ordered- malai paneer, poori masala, beigan bhartha, roti. The malai paneer was really, really sweet. Unbearably sweet, to the point where it was inedible. The beigan bhartha had a really bitter aftertaste, and it was completely cold. The aloo bhaji was essentially completely water. The rotis were hard ,way too thick, and cold. Worst of all, every single one of us who ate the takeout got a stomach bug/food poisoning (the family member who skipped eating takeout was fine). Perhaps their parathas are good- their curries are awful. Please don't buy sabjis from them. read more

I was too excited looking at the reviews and I ordered many items from the chaat menu. However, I was disappointed by the taste and flavor that I got. The bhel and papdi chaat was bland and lacked the sufficient dash of tamarind and green chutney, even salt probably. The paani puri paani was only water and chaat masala I think. I expected spicy and sweet and sour paani, no onion was served with puris. I was disappointed. :( However, the service was fast. read more

Disappointing Chaat - so much for having chaat in their name! We ordered bhel, dahi puri , pav bhaji and chole bhatura. Here is my rating : Bhel - 4/10 Dahi puri - 5/10 Pav bhaji - 4/10 Chole bhatura - 3/10 So yea not going back for sure! We were living across and decided to go here - after 4 long years - thought it might have improved! But NO! read more

I often order togo food from this place. Their paranthas are pretty good -- gobhi parantha especially. Have also tried their paneer and aloo parantha, which are nice as well. In veg curries, i would say their malai kofta is a must try. I have also tried their dahi batata sev poori multiple times -- yum. read more

This is my favourite Indian restaurant in the town. We love delicious food served here. People are welcoming and treat customers nicely. We go to this place to have awesome Combo1 thali. It is served with free Authentic Chaas and tea. Roti is also very delicious and wall pictures represent essence of India. There are not many restaurants in town that display Indian culture. Must Go !!! Cheers, Shivaji read more

Ordered food ( samosa, cutlet, pakode, parathe, paneer kadhai, malai kofta, gulab jamun) for company event and it was worth the money. Paneer kadhai, pakode was ok.. malai kofta and gulab jamun was very good. Parathe was like home made. Overall, good food and satisfying customer service. read more

This is one of the good places if you'd like to have some simple food. Their paratha's are very tasty and the portion size is large. I like aloo and paneer paratha personally, their chai is good too. Not great with the ambience but it's clean and service is fast for a quick bite. read more

This place is amazing for some amazing North Indian food with a touch of mom's cooking. Plus the prices are so reasonable. I tried Makke ki Roti and Sarson saa saag and both roti and saag was really great. I was so happy after eating it. In addition, the phulka rotis they give have such a homely feeling. I also tried their baingan bharta and palak paneer and both of those were superb. And then there was the Tea, which had sugar in it by default and the right amount I prefer. If you like adding sugar to your own taste in the tea, make sure to mention while putting an order that you want it without sugar, otherwise it comes with it, and was awesome for me. Ohh I almost forgot gobi kaa paratha which was not just huge but also amazing. Also, the friend who introduced me to tgis place told me this secret that you can mix multiple ingredients in the paratha like methi, gobhi, onion and green chillies. This place is just awesome for North Indian food. The place is a little busy on weekends but it was totally worth the wait for me. read more

See all

We are regulars at the place and enjoy their Thalis and malai paneer. I am giving 4 stars since once I had a staple in my food and another time there was hair. We have ordered food over a 25 times and don't want to leave the impression this happens often. read more

Amazing service. Kind people. Delicious food. Reminds me of home! Highly recommend to anyone looking for good Indian food.

Great and cheap homely food. Staff is very friendly. They try their best to take care of custom requests. This is one of the few Indian restaurants that replaces rice with roti or parantha in their meal. read more

Excellent curries and roti is really good. Saag paneer, malai kofta and parathas are all excellent. Good for both dining and pickup . Definitely recommend read more

Simple, comforting homely food. Had different veg thalis and aloo parantha. All items were good taste wise. Best is they don't put unnecessary red chili powder like other places. Fast service even. Definitely worth trying. One star less because the quantity of rice is less in thali. read more

Please take my word and not come here. One of the worst Indian restaurants around Sunnyvale area. I got the thali and sev puri they were both sub par. In conclusion, the service was rude. The food was horrendous. The cleanliness was appalling. Side note, I saw couple of cockroaches in the seating area. Never going to come back to this place. Highly DO NOT recommend. read more

This is one of the only places in Sunnyvale where you can go if you want to want a similar to homemade cooking food taste. We ordered the thali, dahi sev batata puri and hara Bhara paratha. Everything was good but the dahi poori was the best I've had in the area. I will recommend this place to all the chat lovers out there. The ambience is simple, nothing fancy, but that's what we wanted today! read more

My to-go place in the South Bay for some authentic Punjabi food. The food tastes genuinely home made. Can't recommend the combination of matar paneer, rajma, daal tadka and plain roti enough. I have personally recommended this to multiple friends and co-workers and have brought visitors from out of town here. After eating here, all echoed my opinion. Don't confuse with the other chat houses in the Bay Area though. This one is different and my personal favorite comfort food joint. read more

Always deserves 5 stars for their food quality and customer service ..if you are asked to wait for five or ten minutes they really mean that

This has got to be the worst place for chaat ever. Beats Vik's Chaat cafe too! We were in Sunnyvale yesterday and came to Chaat House. We have eaten in the Fremont one and the one on 939 W El Camino location before and thought it would live up to the same standards. We ordered Bhel puri and Dahi Batata Sev Puri. Both were a disaster with the latter being the best of the two. The Bhel Puri came with no potato, no tomato, no chana and no cilantro. It only had puffed rice, Sev, sweet chutney, onions and a few random pieces of oil drenched Puri. I mean can you even make Bhel Puri without the missed ingredients? The Dahi Batata Sev Puri had no Sev and had exactly 1 cube of potato in each Puri, covered with Dahi and chutneys. Each cube had about 5mm sides. These two are ideally dishes that you cannot go wrong in. at the most one could make it a little sweet or a little too spicy. But apart from that, one cannot go wrong. Very very very very sad! DO NOT GO HERE THINKING IT IS ON THE SAME STANDARD AS THE OTHER BRANCHES OF CHAAT HOUSE! To the owner We make Bhel puri at home every once in a while and would like to invite you to come to our home. We would be glad to teach you how to make it. read more

Chaat House Sunnyvale Wolfe - Bhel Puri only has puffed rice, sev, onions and sweet chutney! No chana, tomatoes, potatoes, cilantro. Terrible! - Indian Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

My first Thali and it was a treat! I think I would have been satisfied with the Puri or fried paneer but Then I would not have had the Chassi! What a delightful treat! read more

The place is oddly laid out and I didn't think the guy at the counter was all too friendly but the Paneer Masala to go was actually pretty tasty. I'd probably give some of the other items a try as they have a bunch of items Im not familiar with read more

They say you can tell an ethnic restaurant is good based on the customers. If a Chinese restaurant has a lot of Chinese customers, it must be pretty good. Lots of Japanese customers at a sushi restaurant? Must have pretty fresh sushi. Here, I walked in an I was the only non-Indian person. So, I thought to myself, this place must be good! And... not to be anticlimactic, the food was just okay. Pretty bad service... Very unfriendly workers there, who weren't helpful at all. I think it was pretty obvious I didn't know what to order of what anything was and stared at the menu for a good 5 min. I ended up pointing at one of the few pictures they had on the menu .. I still don't know what I ordered, honestly. it would've been nice if they wrote a short description of what everything is and matched the pictures with the food in the menu. Now, onto the food. Def very filling! It was my first time eating this type of Indian food... I believe south Indian food? I got the huge, airy bread ball thing and it was pretty good. Very deceiving, because when I first got it, I thought it wasn't going to be enough. It comes with a yummy dip! Overall, food was pretty good and flavorful. Not a fan of their service and the way the place ran though. read more

The bestest place in bay area for comfort indian food. Absolutely love the quality and home like atmosphere. It's my go to place. Will keep coming back here as long as I am in bay area. read more

Bad food, bad tea bad everything.... god awful. This is the review for the one on E el camino. The one on W El Camino (closer to mountain view) is a world apart.... one of my favorites for chaat in this area. read more

I second the review by B.S. that explains that Chaat House is fast food. For Indian fast food, this place is great and cheap! I started coming here when Udupi Palace (down the road) closed and I'm glad I didn't have to go far to find some tasty vegetarian Indian eats! read more

Delicious, piping hot stuffed parathas. The dahi puri was also tasty. Yogurt with the tang and consistency as if straight from India. After all these years, I have to stop here when I visit the Bay Area for a healthy vegetarian fix. read more

Not as good as it used to be...good polite people used to run this place, not anymore! Last visit saw two jokers/staff making fun of other customers, singing/cursing loud...bad attitude is bad for business too...esp if you piss-off old customers. I'd prefer going to Chaat Bhavan (or even Rajjot for takeout) close by for much better service and food these days! read more

Love the service, and the food is always amazing! I'm here on the weekly and it's cheap enough for a college budget and good enough for me (a super picky Indian) to say it's worth everything! Pav bhaji is best to get if you don't know how you feel about Indian food or anything else on the menu. And yes, it's a vegetarian place. Vegetarian food can be amazing if you're open to the experience. read more

Excellent homely food, best customer service I have ever experienced in the bay area. Folks go above and beyond to customize with a smile and provide quality food! No compromise on quality despite all the challenges with Covid - this restaurant is our family favorite. Thank you Ranaji and Dalbir for your yummy food. read more

Come in and you will find it full of Indian people. To me, having Indian people at an Indian restaurant is a good sign and good it was. Home-like food. Great options and service. Especially the manager, very accommodating. Take-outs need some work though. I don't eat spicy food. If I ask for mild, take out turned out to be spicy. If I asked for "no spicy", it turned out to be salty - probably to cut the spiciness. The same food in the restaurant will be great though. When I pointed out the difference, the manager will accommodate and replace the food though but no difference in taste. Don't know why and yes, I tried the same multiple times. I still go in at least once a week but I don't do take outs anymore. Still, in the restaurant, great food and accommodating people - good enough for me. I keep going there. April 2019: Update: They have updated the ambience, the food prep and serving staff. Much better now. This includes the to-go food as well. They do deserve every bit of the 5 stars now. Come here for the home like food. Stay for the good people. read more

Wow. Absolutely terrible food. Opened up the samosa to see why it tasted so disgusting and it looked like plain rehydrated potatoes with a few patches of light pink stuff. Too bad, since the other Chaat House just down El Camino to the north is decent. Drive the extra mile and a half and go there instead! read more

Stopped here cuz I always see people walking in or out. I'm glad I stopped in; the person behind the counter recommended the combo with curried okra, steamed rice, potatoe's n' pea's in curry, a crispy paratha, two soft flour like tortilla's (not sure of the exact name), ride pudding, yogurt. Comes on a large stainless steel serving platter. comes with a free drink: chaat, soda or tea. I chose the chat. $7.50 plus tax. Nothing was stand out except the crispy paratha and chaat; everything else was lukewarm. The okra curried looked over cooked and a couple days old. Sorry Chaat House. I would come back, based on all the glowing reviews =) Decor: clean, nice bollywood movies and music plays. Customer service: ok Parking: ok. read more

One of my feel good eat out places for chat or simple north indian food.. i was so disappointed when radhe chat got burned down for that used to be my fav chat joint. This is not as good(:() but a nice place too.. i like their menu options with couple of customizable combos and the pricing. Their roti is just 50cents ! They even have to go deals on weekdays with two sabji and five free rotis. Let me defend my four stars. This is not the place i would go to celebrate an occasion but would definitely go if i am lazy and didnt cook even and wouldn get bored. If you ve been to the mess in bangalore like ghar ka khana I would draw parallel with that. Feels fresh n healthy simple food n homely decor. And i think thats a win. read more

With the onslaught of so many Desi restaurants, this one has managed to keep its standards average if not lower it. Food - Try Makki Di roti. Combos are average and not fulfilling for an empty belly. Ambiance - ok Price - ok read more

I knew the owner for years,...... YEARS! She retired and other family members took her place

Good for a quick fix dinner. Nothing amazing to remember!

We ordered Dahi papadi chat ,masala chai,sprout Bhel and vada pao . Except vada pao ,everything was great . Vada pao was too spicy and just not what we expected!! Ambience was nice ,we enjoyed :) read more

Did not enjoy the last time. Did not enjoy this time also. Went in for a PavBhaji. Had to wait in line to get that and find out that they serve only 1 Pav.(that too small one) Why the hell I will go out and have just one Pav. Had to wait in line again and buy an extra pav. My friend ordered a veg pattie and it is very different and was deep fried. Will not go again. read more
