After a long day in the bay area, decided to eat here at Chaat House, who had decent reviews and a pretty good location. The bay area is full of Indian places that are all pretty good. This place was small and quaint. The service was nice but the food want up to par with our expectations. Maybe it was just an off day for them. I don't know but the paratha we ordered was.just on the okay side, just like everything else. Nice little place but doubtful that I will go back. read more

Chaat House - Paneer chilli and aloo ka paratha - Indian Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

See all

I ventured away from my usual dahi papri chaat and tried the pau bhaji, which was served with two pau, a dish of bhaji, and a papad (random?). It was A-OK, but nothing spectacular. I've definitely had better at other chaat joints. Also, the quantity of pau to bhaji made no sense. So little pau for so much bhaji? What're you supposed to do with the rest? read more

4 Star for the food , very good and spicy 4 stars very clean 2 1/2 stars for costumer service , I am not sure if the guy had a bad day at 11:30a basically restaurant just opened or he had a bad sleep. I think I will go to get a take out food some times read more

This is a regular vegetarian Indian restaurant. Nothing fancy. Fast service. The thalis are good but they could be more masaledaar. The tea is not at all good so go for chaas or mango lassi. The food taste like the punjabi restaurants in India but more bland and cleaner interior. Check the number of rotis in thali. You might need to buy rotis separately as the amount of rice is not enough even to feed a kid. This makes it expensive, oh, well which restaurant isnt on El Camino Sunnyvale. read more

Very good Indian Vegetarian food which is healthier compared to most indian restaurants in the bay area, When I say healthier I mean in terms of oil/ghee and Masala. 1. Their breads are one of the best you can have anywhere be it in US or India. Try the Gobi, Garlic , Aloo, Paneer Parathas 2. Thalis are quite filling and healthy, may not be as tasty as other places due to limited use of oil/ghee and Masala. 3. Most of their Curry's too taste normal nothing extra ordinary. 4. Chaats and Samosa are as usual . read more

Went there for brunch today, simply loved their Bhel puri , it was top notch. Their Pav bhaji was ok, could have been more fried, though. What really knocked off a star was a hopeless and bland masala tea. Will definitely visit again for their chaats and avoid their horrible drinks read more

I visited this place a few times for my some delicious home made parathas. From aloo to gobi and spinach they have it all...I wasn't too crazy about their pickle they serve with it but some good old desi yogurt is to die for... Yummy.. Lot of other Indian vegetarian chaats to try from the menu.. Vegetarian paradise!!! read more

Probably the worst chai I have ever had. The milk had a strange musty flavor and the tea flavors did not really come through. Avoid at all costs!! I can't vouch for the chaats though!! read more

Tasty, inexpensive Indian food from largely detached staff makes for great take out, but it may not be someplace you want to sit down for a meal at. I did not order from the Chaat menu though I probably should have (I fell in love with Pani Poori during my brief visit to India). The "vegetarian delights" we got were tasty and filling--we had enough for leftovers after spending only about $13 including rice. Don't go here for fine Indian, but if you've got a hankering for some Indian while you watch Heroes or you and your friends play some Halo, give Chaat House a try. One item of note--the map and the photos seem to be incorrect for this location. This review applies to the Chaat House on the corner of Wolfe and El Camino Real near the nursery. read more

I did not yelp this before going here, otherwise i might have skipped due to the less than 4 star average -- high standard huh? this is a little better interior -- feels more cheery -- than madras cafe. Madras cafe may be slightly better food though. my indian coworkers took me here. they did not complain about the food. however, i think they do get tired of me asking to go eat indian each time we go out... vegetarian fare. I think I got the executive thali the two times i went. lots of small portions of different lentil curries. I'm not into buttermilk drink, but they have it here. Just milk tea for me. the protocol is: order before you sit down. pay after you eat. read more

The environment of this chaat place is alright- pretty big and clean. There are big tv screens showing bollywood music videos. Like the other reviews said, this place is frequented by tons of Indians, which means its pretty authentic. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with my food -the puri I got with my pani puri was stale. yuck. samosa chaat wasn't good either. Maybe i just got a bad batch somehow. If i was ever in the area, I'd be willing to give it another try but i wouldnt go out of my way to come back. read more

I came here a few times for some quick indian food. Its a great place to go for cheap indian food. The service is very quick and the food is good. The restaurant itself could use a few touch ups but it's a nice place to come by. Pani Poori -- these are my favorite snacks ever. The ones they serve are pretty good but I think they make the water too cold. it should be a little below room temperature. I think they make it and just store it in the fridge instead of making it fresh right away. Chana Poori - this is pretty good. You really can't make chana the wrong way. The pooris aren't too big but they are filling I have yet to try their mango lassi but I'm sure it's yummy. read more

The best veggie Indian food I've tasted. I never get tired of eating here for a quick lunch when i am at work and the staff is super efficient and consistent in terms of service and food quality. Never had anything negative to say about any of the food. The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is the masala chai. Whoever is in charge of that probably needs to change the way they make it because it doesn't take like Indian chai at all, other than that the thalis and paratha are always on point. read more

Summary based on 1 dinner: --very good thali (combination) with good variety --counter service, which was ok --inexpensive --easy free parking in adjoining lot --large menu --popular locally with East Asian community read more

Liking the yummy vegetarian chat. Service could be quite a bit better, prepare to be ignored... Don't bother coming on a Friday, it's way too busy, and the food quality is worse. I think they just can't handle the volume, and now they've expanded to more seating as well... read more

Freshly made Indian food in a casual setting. The people who work here are incredibly nice too!!! read more

Chaat House - Inside decor with fountain!!!! - Indian Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Saag Paneer and Raita were both super tasty. The Roti added a nice texture to the Saag. I will come back! No meat however. read more

Very good food and friendly folks. I haven't tried their chaat much, I always get the thali or parathas. Their makki di roti sarson da saag is amazing! read more

Went for lunch on a friday, little after 1 pm, so no wait as such. Parking lot was almost full, but found a spot. Tried multiple dishes which turned out from 'meh' to 'good' Bhel - ok Sarson ka saag - good makke di roti - meh Hara bhara paratha - good read more

This has to be the BEST indian restaurant I have ever been to. Chaat house is the standard I use to compare when I go to other Indian restaurants, and let me tell you, they never measure up! Chaat house has a great, inexpensive thali that I always get. Everytime you go it's something different and I don't think I've ever disliked anything I've gotten. My only issue is this, don't order the soda!!! the soda tastes horrible! read more

Delicious vegetarian indian food! We ended up at Chaat House purely out of curiosity. I'd always seen it on my way to the Blockbuster near by. We ordered the two combos and I don't remember what it was called. I honestly can't even tell you what because the whole menu doesn't contain a description of what you'll be getting. That's probably because they are catering to an Indian audience, which made the experience more authentic. I had cornmeal roti, my first time ever, and it was delicious. Their regular roti is always super thin and came with delicious dips. I'd definitely come back, but next time I won't be too shy to ask what everything is. read more

The food here is a mixed bag - it could be great or blah depending on what you order. From what I've tried - The good: Bhel, the thali, samosa chaat, missal The blah: Kachori, some of the dinner entrees; the dahi sev poori is hit and miss I'm always disappointed that the drinks - chaas, tea and mango lassi are not fresh made - they're out of a gallon jug bought from somewhere. But they all taste real good. Try not to be turned off by the orthodox guy behind the counter - he isn't outgoing but is harmless. ;) read more

The reviews on this restaurant are all over the place; this is due to expectations, me thinks. This place earns 3.5 stars but increasing to 4 for consistency. Pros: - Quick service. - Good palak paneer, channa bhatura, and chai Cons: - Not so clean. But I haven't gotten food poisoning in the past 6 or 7 years. Can't say that for Chipotle down the street. - Heavy on the oil. Things that may bug you: - It's a Chaat house; if you aren't ordering Chaat (snacks) don't be surprised if your usual Indian dishes aren't as good as other places. It's a fast food place, for crying out loud! - Staff is not too friendly. Not everyone likes whitey/non-Indian asians Deal with it. Your money is green - take it elsewhere. I smile and they smile back. Apparently, they don't have problems with this honkey. For really excellent Chaat and friendly service, I recommend Chaat Paradise in Mountain View. read more

Why would u serve stale yogurt???? Why indian restaurants bring shame ! I always go with friends to taste their ethnic origin cuisine. But feel embarrassed to bring them at any chaat places ! because of terrible ambiance n unfriendly/bad service but just stale food. After trying all chaat places in Bay Area i know there is no one best. Just sad!!! read more

Good service. Nice menu. The chaats are well flavored especially bhelpuri. The dishes in the Thali - all of them except yogurt are too spicy. There was a time when these dishes were beautifully flavored and presented. But now it is just chilies and that's it. Even the saag maki ROTI dish is full of chilies. read more

Authentic Indian fast food. Tasty, fast service, and very tolerant of small children.

Nice service . Good food highly recommended .. try pani puri here it was a nicely spiced.

One of my favorite chaat places. Good food. Takes a while for the guy behind the cash registar to warm up to new clients, but once he knows you, you are in....... Food is reliably good. Same Punjabi cooks in the the kitchen 7 days a week. read more

Very tasty Indian veg food. I'm a huge fan of the pooris and the palak paneer. Some of their chana dishes are really tasty as well. The -1 star is because the staff - while efficient - aren't very friendly. When I go in (by myself or with friends), we're typically one of the only/few non-Indians in the restaurant. read more

1 star away from Chaat Paradise in Mountainview We ordered sev batata puri pani puri Onion paratha Mango Lassi Verdict MY GOD I COULD HAVE INHALED two more onion parathas SOO YUMMY TO THE TUMMY No table service, it's self service Minus one star because the pani puri crispy puff thing was not as crispy as Chaat paradise...BOOO read more

We come here over & over, since discovering their yummy chaats...the closest things we have come to with the same flavor as the unforgettable mystery things we ate at my friend's wedding in India. There is a high overlap in the toppings on the different menu items, so we have settled on always ordering: Dahi Bateta Sev Poori & Masala Chaat. Then we order a third random selection from the curries menu & a gulab (rose) or mango lassi. Still haven't tried the thali here though it seems everyone else here is eating those. read more

Thus far this has been our go-to-spot for indian street food (chaat). we always get the usual (dahii papri chaat, two samosas with channa) Don't expect someone to wait on you or buss your tables, everything is self-serve and not always the tidiest place ... but you definitely get that authentic feel in the food from the flavors to the aluminum plates/bowls/cups that your food will be served in! rating: *flavor **portion ***price I'll be back Chaat House... but i'll also be trying out some of your neighbors to find a more ideal location read more

I recently had been here for a colleagues chaat party. I tasted sev puri ,masala chat which was goodl & aloo parantha was awesome with curds & pickle. But it was not that spicy may be i can say. Do make it a point to tell them to make it spicy before u place an order. They have nice combo offers too. Cleanliness is not so great. Man at the cashier along with check outs also manages serving & cleaning tables too and handles every job without cleaning his hands before he heads on. :) May be due to this frustration, he never happens to smile or communicate with customer. Just Robotic in picking up orders. read more

Some of the best saag I have ever had! Food made very quickly. Definitely recommend as a great counter service Indian spot.

The best vegetarian chaat in the Bay Area. Everything is made fresh from the parantha to the chutney, achar, and lassi, I must say this is a very clean and cool place to eat. I never get tired of eating their food because the quality is so consistently good. Kid friendly and just a nice place to take your family to eat any time. Recommend to all because it's mild in spiciness but very flavorful for people with all different tastes. Thank you for the awesome food and service! read more

Ok, I am from the East Coast and in the midst of relocating to the Golden State. Right now living in temp accomodations, eating out has become a bit of a routine. I went to the Chaat House, at the behest of my husband. We ordered couple of chaat items on the left hand side of the menu. Actually we went there a few times and we have loved every one of the chaat items that we have ordered thus far. We are systematically going from top down on the menu and topping it with masala chai. Ok while the chaat items and chai rocks, (we haven't tried main course yet), the guys or THE guy behind the counter is rather mean. They have a combination platter of 2 chat items(bhel & pani puri) and chai on their menu for $6.95. Since we wanted to try everything thats on the chaat menu, we wanted to order 2 different chaat items each and the guy behind the counter refused to subsitute the items although everything was individually priced for $3.99. Whats the big deal??? This is something I have noticed about some Indian food joints. They stick to their guns and don't try to make customers happy. They try to save a buck here buck there in the short term and fail to see long term and lose customers. Well since our last experience there, I bought chai (tea) leaves and cardomom packet and masala powder for tea from the Nilgiris store a block down from the Chaat corner and have started brewing my own tea. And as far as satiating my Chaat appetite, I will have to go elsewhere. Bottomline, Great Chat items & Chai, inflexible and mean staff. Zero Ambience, loud Indian music and not particularly cheap (of course comparing it to east coast prices where a bhel puri is $1.99) read more

I went here with my newphews and my sister, and we had the beil thali and the vegetable thali. Both were good, but they lacked the flavorfullness of Chaat Paradise. On the flip side, the Mango Lassi was amazing. My newphew could not stop drinking it. He would keep sipping and sipping and sipping until I was afraid he was going to pass out. The Chai was good. Oh yea, the Chloe was pretty good too, I had that seperately with some puri. Overall, I give it 3 stars because I feel like Chaat Paradise is a nice, tastier version of this place, and its very close to this. read more

I go to this place twice a month...and this review has been pending for long... The main reason I wanted to write this review is because I think their food quality and taste has really improved. It is much fresh and nice than few years back and its still a great place to relax and enjoy your food. Things I like here are Thalis with chaas, Paneer burjee with Phulkaas, Dal tadka and rice! There are other places out there that serve similar food but the quality is nothing compared to this. read more

Decent inexpensive Indian food. I don't like all their stuff but I do enjoy few items like aloo paratha , chana bhatura every now and then. Another good thing about this place is that it is generally not very crowded so the service becomes quick. Recommended for a regular meal when you are not in the mood for anything fancy. read more
