It was our first time here, and after today's experience, I can say with certainty that we will return. I am already planning what to order on our next visit. My Mom and I met my BFF here because we had one heck of a hankering for chaat. Visited on a Tuesday evening around 6:30PM and there were several tables occupied. Order at the counter and the owner's family serves you at the table of your choosing. I would imagine this place gets pretty packed and crazy on the weekends so I will try to time our next visit prior to the lunch or dinner rush. Walking in, you are immediately taken by the aromatic spices wafting through the air. There is also an electronic Menu Board with easy-to-read sections of items and their corresponding descriptions to guide you. If you are placing a to-go order, you pay at the register. If you are dining in, there are table numbers and you can choose where you want to sit and you pay after you finish your meal. Mom and I ordered a Mango Lassi each and shared the Pani Puri, Samosa Chaat, and Paneer Pakora - all excellent. Came with mint and coriander green chutney and red chili chutney. My BFF ordered the Papri Chaat and Chicken Pakora. Years ago, when I graduated from TWU in 2007, we had eaten chaat at Taj Grocers in Richardson - it was the only legit and real deal place at the time, and I have been on the hunt for something similar ever since. Most establishments, over the years, seemed to have missed the mark, but India Chaat Cafe wowed us and absolutely delivered. The service was adequate and the food was ideal in presentation, taste, and true to my culture, heritage, and roots. The ambience was traditional and inviting with a vibrant burst of energy to the space. Definitely somewhere you would want to come to relax and unwind. We will be adding this establishment to our list of restaurant rotations whenever we are in the Plano/North Dallas Area. I wish them all the success and will be returning regularly for other Menu items in the future. read more

This is our go to place to have Indian food. Always hot always made the way we like it and everybody is very friendly service..

This has been a favorite for my family and I for some time. We always have a great meal. Good prices and friendly staff. This is most definitely our go-to for some Indian cuisine. I always get the delicious chili fries along with some of the curry meals. Place can get busy quick so we go a bit earlier than dinner time. Call me old I guess. read more

India Chaat Cafe - Garlic chicken curry-so good. Chili fries in middle. - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I am shocked that I have not written a review about Chaat Café, my family and I have been coming here for years and years! That lovely lady upfront often times says to me "oh you've just missing your mom or your sister is on her way as well" - we all live nearby and often just get takeout. I would say we get Chaat Café once a week. The portions are great, and it will typically take a day or two to get through the dinner portion. Highly recommend! read more

Staff is very helpful and approachable. Food has always been great whenever we drop by.

I got chicken Tikka masala and it was pretty good. It was a lot of food, so I didn't finish everything. The chicken and the sauce in the chicken tikka masala were good read more

India Chaat Cafe - A la Carte Chicken Tikka Masala - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Terrific food! The wraps, pizzas, curry roti and rice meal, chaats, everything is so tasty! I have been going to this place since 2014, the taste and the quality is consistent! Huge portions for the daily special meals! Their saag paneer dinner meal is so delicious (try with garlic naan). Their Samosa chaat is a winner! Veggie paneer pizza is so flavorful! Veggie roll is good but heavy cos they use naan for the wrap. Service is good too! Our go to place for good Punjabi food! read more

This Indian food is amazing! And after today, I will come everyday for the rest of my life!

Hi, I just bought Chicken Biryani and Garlic chicken from your restaurant this evening. The biryani was very disappointing with just 2 tiny chicken pieces and whole bunch of rice. i have never had such a horrible experience. It was a complete rip off for the money paid. Thats why I am forced to give only 2 star ratings. read more

This place came highly recommended but their order process must be off. It took an exceptionally long time to get our food--over 1.5hrs! We ordered through grub hub for pickup. We even called ahead to confirm they received the order and when it would be ready. Haven't even tried the food but will not be coming back here, the wait was ridiculous and there was no service compensation or apology or explanation. Thumbs down. read more

India Chaat Cafe - This supposedly is the Papri Chaat appetizer... Horrible presentation...taste seems...meh? - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We think this is the best restaurant in Dallas. The Methi Chicken is the best food anywhere. The restaurant is clean and service is great!

I flip flop on my opinion on this place, but its so hit and miss that it needs to be lowered to a 3. The Kathi Roll is awful. Overly seasoned, overcooked meat, and the breading was hard. Don't bother getting this. The lamb Korma is quite creamy, with basmati rice with no additional seasoning . Can't say it had that much flavor to the curry, nor meat, but the pieces of lamb were decent. read more

Its still good but they raised the prices with same to maybe a little less in portion.. kinda disappointed. :( Will probably need to find another Indian food place that's cheaper.. read more

After savoring their Chaat, decided to try out their regular food items. Got a takeout of Dahi Bhalla, Bhelpuri, Lamb Seekh Kabab and Chicken Vindaloo. Requested a deconstructed Bhelpuri (chutney packed separately) and Naan's with the Kebab and Vindaloo. Got all that in about 15 to 20 minutes. Not bad considering kabab take time. The Bhelpuri was great. A good balanced sweet, spicy and tangy taste. The Dahi Bhalla was fantastic. Soft and right combination of yogurt, chutney and ground spices. The Laban's were good. Not spicy and good flavors but did not like the excessive food coloring. The flavors could have been elevated by adding some more fresh herbs and green pepper. The Chicken Vindaloo was ok. It was not an authentic Vindaloo, the flavors were fine and the chicken was cooked well. On the menu it was mentioned as a spicy dish but it was not spicy by Indian palette by a mile. Overall good food and good service. We will focus on chaat at this place more than their other lunch/dinner options! read more

This is a five star Indian restaurant in North Dallas. It's located in a strip mall in a humble setting, but the food is some of the best in DFW. This place has been a standard fixture for the last decade on desi dining scene and the taste is always the same, and the service is very friendly. Chicken /paneer tikka masala, seeks kabab garlic naan always hits the spot!! read more

I was craving some samosa and chai and found out about this place. We ordered samosa, chai and papdi chat and everything was great. The service was a bit slow which was the only negative but they definitely made it up in their food. read more

Wanted to go to an Indian restaurant that serves Punjabi gravies and chaat and pretty much saw that most of them were closed on a Monday. Saw great reviews for this restaurant And tried them yesterday for dinner. Decently good chaat - we tried Dahi Papdi Chaat, Paani Puri and it was ok. Chole Bhature was ok. Paneer Kabab was so badly done - with no flavor, loads of food coloring, and hardly any spices. I am surprised that restaurants pass off 4 pieces of paneer and some raw veggies as a kabab at $14.99! The Naan that came with the paneer kabab was so tough and dry. We could not bear to have even 2 bites. Never coming back. read more

This restaurant is great! I've been going for several years and the food is always good quality, the service fast and friendly, and the atmosphere warm and inviting. If you want your food less spicy, they can do that. If you want an extra side they're happy to fix it. The lady and her family who own this restaurant are absolutely wonderful - very kind and friendly! Oftentimes I'll stay and talk with her for a few minutes after I eat. Her husband always comes out with a smile and a greeting for me, as well. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

The Dahi Puri was delicious - 10/10. The chutneys they add are fantastic! In general the chaat was amazing. But the kebabs were nothing special. The chaat came out very fast but kebabs took a while. Service wasn't great , there were no forks nor water available at ease. read more

We came for lunch and the daily lunch specials have a little of everything type of entree for only $11.99! It comes with rice, naan, and a cucumber salad. Everything has its own unique taste. Just delicious. Of course we sit along the back wall facing the Indian Bollywood musicals. We don't know what they are saying but their acting tells the story. read more

We went for a quick bite but eventually we had our dinner here. Their menu is kind of really broad and portions are also amazing. We had tried multiple items from chole bhature to chilli chicken and every single dish was good enough except chilli chicken. But overall it was nice experience there especially I love their chole bhature. If I ever crave for the same in future definitely indian Chaat cafe is my option. Service was little late even there was not much people during that time, this is one pointer on which they can work upon. read more

We would have given 4/5 star for the food but the service is terrible. We have gone a couple of times now and the wait has been over 20-30 min each time. This last time we saw people who ordered well after us get their food first. All 3 times we have gone, patrons of their own culture got their food first and bigger parties too. Will not go back. read more

Still a favorite. Great food, great customer service, great prices. Last time I came for lunch I got the vindaloo (all vegetable, have to ask for it) with double rice (instead of rice and naan). Sides for the dinner portion were dal and korma. Everything as delicious as ever. I will continue to give this place my business as long as they are around! read more

Went to this restaurant over the weekend and there were lots of people! Which is always a good sign. Nice clean place. You order at the counter and they bring the food out. The service was good. For food: we ordered Pani puri, veggie wrap, mango lassi and chili paneer pizza. The mango lassi was bitter so that was a little disappointing. Everything else was good. Pani puri had good flavor and the water was spicy. The pizza was very good. I do plan to go back and try the chicken tikka pizza. I didn't care much for the veggie wrap. It was a little dry and the aloo patty inside was too small for the wrap. I would go back to explore other things on the menu. read more

India Chaat Cafe - Chili Paneer pizza - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Reliably delicious. Occasionally gets orders wrong when we pick up or use delivery. Never happens when we eat there. I suggest they pay more attention to to-go orders. Leaving out meat in a non-vegetarian dish is disappointing. read more

I visited this place with high hopes for chats. We ordered samosa chat, Papdi chat, bhel Puri. Papdi chat has crispy papdi and samosa chat had a small smosa but was tasty. Bhel Puri was just okay. later we ordered paneer wrap and chicken wrap(desi style) both of if was just awful they wrapped the chicken in a naan and gave it as a chicken wrap. I mean I have no words here. Don't waste money on their wraps you would rather order naan and gravy that would be way better. I can only recommend their chats everything else is not worth it. read more

India Chaat Cafe - Butter Chicken - Indian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The absolute best Tikka Masala I have ever eaten. My husband loves the Butter Chicken. Both of these dishes have such rich and delicious sauce, but the star of the show is their Naan. It is so fresh, and has a little bit of a crunh in small areas from the grill...it's superb. Every time I am asked what I want to eat, Chaat is my first choice. We don't come often enough though. OH AND ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION THE BASMATI. It's amazing! read more
