First time trying this type of Indian/Pakistani food. It's really spicy but can ask for medium, mild or suggestions on food heat levels. As a first timer it took us a little bit to get used to the complex spicy taste and spicy smells. I tried a beef and chicken dish, and it was really nice. The pieces of meat were super tender fresh, and they were cut into nice sized pieces (not oversized). The rice was tasty and loved the (? not sure) cucumber sauce/dip to bring down the heat a bit. The Naans were amazing; I prefer the cheesy ones the best! Defiantly would recommend and come back to try other dishes. The staff and owners were friendly nice, and loved the decor and pictures of mom ;) A very unique place for Racine to taste some true authentic food! A++ read more

Excellent stop here! Found this for a late dinner stop after a glass blowing class just down the road. We stopped in about 30 minutes before they closed (7:30pm) but we were told it was okay to dine in. Ordered some plain naan (got garlic instead but it was delicious), chicken chaat bowl and chicken tikka masala. The tamarind type glaze on the chaat bowl was good - bit of a smoky BBQ flavor. The tikka was great - plenty of sauce for naan dipping. Fun music and cute decorations. You can tell they care about their food. They do have a corking fee if you'd like to bring your own adult beverages. Might bring a bottle of wine next time. Looking forward to my next visit here. read more

First time here from Guam and woohoo this place is good! Food came out quick, server was friendly and welcoming, ambiance is colorful and very on theme. I'm so sad that I have to leave because I want to take this restaurant home with me!!! Thank you Chit Chaat for the amazing experience! read more

Wow!!!! I randomly picked something off the menu and it ended up being the best meal I can remember. We loved the music and the service. Don't get me started on the Naan bread. So good. read more

Chit Chaat - Beef and potato (curry?) I may not remember the name but I remember how good it taste. - Indian Near Me - Racine, Wisconsin

Positives: Service was good! The food was brought out quickly and the ambiance was calm since it was slow during lunch. Need improvements: - lack of flavor for every item - samosa was over fried and crunchy , I took 1 bite only - garlic naan had 0 flavor, just a sprinkle of garlic. I encourage adding salt or making a garlic spread to put - Chicken tikka masala was tender, but no flavor, did not taste any spice or curry - table was sticky - food was dirty Overall room for improvement! read more

I love this place! Food is wonderful, the owners are fabulous, and I love the space. Run don't walk!

The food is extremely amazing, everything is fresh. I'd recommend the chicken biryani tandoori style. Service is great, foods great and they keep it very clean. read more

This is by far one of my favorite places to eat. Though the menu is small the food is amazing. Everything is always hot and fresh.

I adore this restaurant. Their butter chicken is heavenly, as are their samosas and naan (try the garlic cheddar and you won't be disappointed). My husband has a few favorites: the Rajastani chicken, Anda roti, and chicken biryani. We always get food to go, but the inside is very nicely decorated and the owners and staff are extremely friendly. read more

Fast friendly service. Complex, delicious, authentic meals that tasted very fresh and not overly seasoned. Artsy and warm interior and worth a lovely walk along the river from downtown. read more

If you are in the area, I recommend you to this place. Good food, service, and ambience. read more

Chit Chaat - Vegetarian combo meal with cilantro paneer, chaat, samosa, and naan (naan not pictured). All very tasty! - Indian Near Me - Racine, Wisconsin

10/10 recommend!! Loved this place! The ambiance was awesome, such cute, cultural decor and lights around the restaurant. The staff was super inviting and helpful! The place was clean, had a bunch of cool natural juices and other misc. items for sale at the register. On top of all of that the food was AMAZING!!! The menu had so many option I didn't know what to choose from but I ended up getting the chicken biryani tandoori style and my boyfriend got the chili chicken and we were extremely satisfied. We will be back very soon read more

Great good! First timers & was very pleasantly surprised. On par with Chicago grade food (if not better)!!!

Really good food, a bit difficult to get to with the construction, but parking is available. Owner cares about customers and works hard to ensure you have a good experience. The chai spiced is awesome, a must have. read more

I love this place! I've been here over a dozen times and they never miss. I've been to many, many Indian/Pakistani restaurants being a semi truck driver and none of them are as good as Chit Chaat. I recently brought my sister here who was in town from Phoenix and she said she's never had naan this good and I haven't either! Always order with naan. The staff are always sweet and attentive, I know most of them by name! I love the ambience of the place - it's colorful, artsy, and inviting. This place really is a gem and I hope they stay open forever! Give them all of your money!!!! read more

I finally got to try this place & im so happy I did! I went with a friend and as soon as you walk in you're greeted & told to sit anywhere you like. Our server told us she was new to the place but she was wonderful! We started off with the house chai and the mango lassi, both were delicious. Then we placed our order for garlic cheese naan, chicken tikka masala & chicken biryani tandoori style (you have a choice of tandoori chicken or curry chicken for the biryani) The garlic cheese naan was delicious, cheese pull 10/10. The chicken biryani could've used more flavor in the rice the red onions over powered most of it but the chicken was fantastic! Maybe if I got the curry style there would've been more flavor, I will get that next time. The chicken tikka masala I also thought could've used more flavor & lacking in 'spiciness' but my friend thought it was the best Indian food she's had! Overall I personally felt that they held back on the spice to cater to Wisconsin Americans when comparing to my go to place down the street Kebab & Grill but it was still pretty good & I will be back to try other items when I want another dine in experience w my friend. read more

Absolutely beautiful interior decor. Ambient lighting. Kind staff. Fresh and delicious

What an amazing restaurant! My friends and I ate like piglets and we were still talking about the food the next day! Absolutely delicious food and fantastic service. I cannot wait to go back!!!! read more

Excellent food, service & ambience! Waitresses are super nice. Chicken Tikka masala is my favorite but honestly never had a bad dish here. Definitely check it out, people! BYOB with small corkage fee $5. It's worth a weekly stop for wonderful street food. read more

Very enjoyable dining experience. I had the lamb cooked in a broth and my spouse had the steak (we shared the garlic cheese naah) everything was delicious. While the atmosphere is casual-- think Indian/Pakistani neighborhood restaurant--the interior is colorful and inviting. Service was excellent and attentive. Note that Chit Chaat does not serve alcohol, but is BYOB friendly with a $5 surcharge --very reasonable. This time we had dinner, but will be back soon to try lunch. I highly recommend this restaurant both for the quality of food and service and because of its unique character. read more

Visited for the very first time and was quite pleased. The food was delicious and tasty. It's an order and sit down restaurant. If you like Pakistani cuisine you will not be dissatisfied. Will be back. read more

Let's start with fair trade spices and amazing good vibes. The most authentic dishes and they are not afraid to use those spices. We couldn't decide so we ordered many and split them all up. Many varieties of naan from their true tandoori oven. You will not be sorry!! read more

This is an absolute gem. We were going to drive from Kenosha to Milwaukee for Indian food, so glad we decided to venture here instead. Came in around 7pm on a Saturday night, the atmosphere and staff were so welcoming. Our server read everything with her own personal favs off the menu, which was great seeing I'm not very familiar with this type of cuisine. We ordered five different things to share between the two of us. Everything was fantastic. I can't say enough about the staff, from the servers to the chef and the food, this was an amazing experience. I only wish they were open past 8 so we could have stayed longer. Next time, we'll stop in earlier. New favorite place close to home read more

We dined at Chit Chaat while visiting Racine. We loved the restaurant and the food!! So nice to dine in a sincere establishment with quality food and reasonable prices. There was even live music the evening we were there. Disappointed that we can't dine here regularly, but we live quite far away. Check it out for yourselves. read more

My husband and I stopped here after a visit to RAM and we are so glad we did! This is a lovely and calming restaurant with delicious food. I would highly recommend the beef curry, Keema curry, garlic naan, and chai tea. The service was nice and we were happy to support this small business owner. read more

Excellent service and tasty food! The inside area is attractive and colorful. Many people were also stopping by for carry-out orders too. Looking forward to a return visit soon! read more

Got takeout during the pandemic, pick up was quick, safe, and easy. The flavor was dense and delicious. It's nice to treat myself to Indian food once and a while. I got like three portions out of the butter paneer! Will be ordering again, thank you:) read more

I have been meaning to write this review for a while now. I went to this restaurant one time and it was in the summer of 2019. I sat and had a great appetizer while I waited for the chicken tikka to go. The reason I give such a low rating is because it was a tiny little bit of chicken on a thigh that was mostly bones and literally it couldn't have been more than two maybe three small bites of chicken in the whole dish. And then the amount of rice was possibly maybe a cup and a half of rice. And the sand then sauce. And that was it!!! I paid over $14 for that one thing. I was very shocked at the prices at this place for the amount of food you get. Maybe they have changed things but while money is tight I do not plan on returning. It's too bad because I love this type of food. But when I spend $14 and I am still hungry it puts up a red flag. And it does not take much to fill me up. I can get a jar of very good tikka masala sauce from Aldi for 1.99 and spend $12 on 5 lb of chicken breasts... throw in some curry paste and some coconut milk and make a batch of Jasmine or basmati rice in my rice cooker and I have enough food to feed 5 people for what I paid for this. And tastes just as good. I don't mind spending money on good food but it felt like being gouged. read more

I've only had take-out from Chit Chaat but it's been busy when I've gone to pick up my food. The food is very tasty and saves me when I'm craving Pakistani/Indian food because there is not a better place around Racine/S.Milwaukee/Kenosha that offers this kind of food. read more

Great food and service. Fresh, perfectly spiced food, and wonderful service. My favorite is their butter chicken, lentils, and their naan.

My wife and I decided to go out for dinner tonight, so we when on yelp and we found this place. We thought it's got almost 5 stars let's try something new. So we headed downtown to our location, got inside and we waited, and waited, and waited by the time we've got seated (in a non full restaurant), it had been12 minutes. By the time we got seated and they handed us a menu, another 15 minutes passed, and by the time someone came and took our order we have been waiting for approximately 50 minutes. When our food arrived it has been a total of one hour and 15 minutes that we waited. There were people ahead of us who have been waiting longer to be served. I must say that the food turned out to be very very good, but the service was not the best. After paying for the meal, the lady apologized, stating that she had a new help worker, but to be honest, it appeared to us that they were not in any hurry to help their guests. At one point they even ran out of cups to serve water. There couldn't have been more than 25 guests in the restaurant. We will eat there again, but it will be carry out only. LB read more

We went to Chit Chaat in Racine (I know this is milwaukee foodie) yesterday and had the MOST AMAZING experience. Well worth the trip to Racine. Our server Stephanie went over the menus line by line explains each dish! She was fantastic! The food!!!! I'm so looking forward to the leftovers in my fridge. It was amazing. We had several dishes and loved trying them all! Can't WAIT to go back! read more

I am always happy when I eat here. The people are welcoming and like family. There is nothing on the menu that will disappoint you. The chai is brewed in house and the best I have ev6had. I can't go anywhere else for a chai. The garlic cheese naan is ever so perfect. Love this place and I am a regular. read more

Food is super unique to the area and delicious! Definitely enjoyed the chai with all the spices too.

I've been to Pakistan and India, spent over a month there driving around, and ate in local restaurants daily. Plus, I've eaten in dozen of Indo-Pak restaurants in the NYC, where I live. (I am vacationing in Racine.) Chit-Chaat very well might be the best ever. I give it 10 stars, not 5, if I could. Do yourself a favor: try this out. Warning: it is very authentic, so that means somewhat hot and spicy. If you do not like hot, spicy flavors, ask them to tone it down. But don't get me wrong. The heat is not overpowering, just spicier than most such Indo-Pak restos here in the states, where they make it bland for American tastes. I'd suggest you just trust the chef and take the food as prepared. Service was friendly and attentive, and the decor was creative. But the food, the flavors, the authenticity = cannot be beat. read more

Fantastic! As a family of vegetarians, there were plenty of options. Portions were good (we all had leftovers), and flavors were delightful. Service was prompt and friendly. Definitely a must go if you enjoy Indian cuisine, good food and friendly staff! We will be returning. read more

What a great addition to Downtown Racine! We stopped in for lunch and were greeted by a super friendly and knowledgeable staff, she reviewed the menu in its entirety and shared her favorites with us. We ordered a variety of items and enjoyed them all. There was a musician playing guitar and singing which really added to the experience. The owner came out and introduced herself, she was so nice. We will definately be back and wish them success! read more

Amazing & authentic Afghanistan cuisine! I love coming here & bringing people too. Great customer service, coffee, etc. I can't say enough good things about this place. my favorite for middle eastern cuisine in Racine hands down. read more

I went here with some friends. I told the waiter I can only eat a little bit spice so don't make anything for me hot. Don't get me wrong I can eat jalapeños and seranos peppers in food. My chicken dish. Are out and after one bite I couldn't even eat it as it was on fire. When I said something the waiter said oh I'll bring you some water. My friend who can eat anything took one bite and said it was hotter than his food and he ordered it spicy. I guess I should try it again but hate to spend money on something I can't even eat. I had the bread and rice read more

Food was very good, be prepared to wait. Portions are large enough for a second meal Try the chai iced or hot, very good!
