This is by far the best tasting in Dayton!! And the service is genuinely incredible too. Went above and beyond for me. I just had it for the first time and I was so impressed I've told multiple people about it. I will be back soon!! read more

Really great Indian food! We had a dosa, Sri Lankan curry special, and tikka masala. Everything was delicious.

Got take-out from India Chaat Cafe and it was ready in about 15 minutes. My wife and I each got the chicken tikka masala and shared a side of garlic naan as well as butter chicken rolls. It was packaged very neatly. The butter chicken rolls are like fried mozzarella sticks but instead of mozzarella, it was stuffed with butter chicken. Comes with two sauces. They were tasty! The chicken tikka was delicious. Spice levels come 1-7, we got a 2 and it didn't have a kick at all, so next time I would want to try a 3-4. One entree was enough for the both of us to split for dinner, and we had the second one as leftovers the following day. Garlic naan is huge and tasted great. Overall, highly recommend India Chaat Cafe. read more

Another great local Indian spot. Super quick, small inside (maybe 5 tables), great parking, and huge portions. For $60.00 we got 2 drinks (sprite and fanta), 1 bottle of water, 2 samosa $4.50 which had great flavor crunchy on the outside and creamy in the middle, choley $11.49 chickpeas cooked in curry with 2 puffed deep fried pieces of bread, chicken tikka Masada $15.95 chicken with creamy curry (tomato sauce, cream, and butter) yumm, chicken vindaloo $15.95 chicken and potatoes in a tangy hot sauce, and 2 orders of rice. The food came out within 10 minutes of ordering all packed in to go containers which I loved. They have paper plates and plastic utensils out for you to eat in. Definitely a must try and all 3 dishes we ordered was full of flavor and amazing. read more

Great Indian food that holds up with delivery / take out. Rice has great flavor. Chicken juicy and cooked perfectly. Samosas perfectly spiced. Love the sauces. Overall delicious. Can't speak on service or vibe bc I ordered from a 3rd party delivery site. read more

This is really good Indian food. We stopped in for lunch, it's a small place with fr it endless people. There is no table service, you order and pay at the counter, pick your table and they bring the food out. I had saag paneer with garlic naans. The saag paneer was delicious and came with rice. The garlic naan was also delicious. Portion was large, I ordered 5 for heat, just right for me. It was a bit pricy for Indian lunch. Otherwise read more

I'd done doordash here but I'd never been in person. We decided to eat in and give it a try. It's a walk up counter where you order then you sit and they bring your food. We ordered lamb saag and chicken tikka masala. The saag had an orange sauce with little spinach or cream. It tasted very similar to the tikka masala. Four of us ordering, our bill was over $125 and we ate on a tiny table with styrofoam plates with plastic forks. I tipped well but the service was non existent. We got our own waters from a water cooler and cleaned our table when we were done. The staff was not very friendly, it's almost like eating in was an imposition. If you have to pee while enjoying your over priced carry in meal then good luck because there is NO public bathroom...the sign says so and it makes sure their customers know it's for employees only. Take that loyal customers with bladders!!!!! Anyway, after the in person experience I think we will go back to Amar India. read more

It had pretty good flavor. I ordered the non-vegetarian plate. The plate to go isn't the best container. Mine actually had a giant crack in the side with bits of plastic in my dish I had to pick out. The naan was good. Some of the sauces spilled over but that wasn't a big deal. I think they should consider new containers, but overall not bad. read more

My husband and I are Indian food connoisseurs (on the most amateur level) and one of our favorite things to do is to get the exact same dish at every Indian restaurant we try. We do this to really compare the flavors. Up until now, there was one location in Columbus that has been our go-to- until now. The dishes we always order are: chicken makhani, chicken vindaloo and chicken curry. The chicken makhani was the best that we've had thus far (to include our normal go-to location). The sauce was the perfect consistency and had amazing flavor, with a hint of coconut. The second was chicken vindaloo, which was the traditional vindaloo but the flavors were much more smooth that our previous favorite location. Lastly, the chicken curry- it was pretty standard but very on par with our other favorite place. The garlic naan was slightly lacking but mainly because we are used to a TON of garlic on the bread, which we love. So there was nothing wrong with this naan, just different than our norm. Overall, absolutely recommend this location. I ordered online and it was really in less than 15 mins for me. read more

Ordered some carry out and it was very busy on a Saturday night. The chicken tiki marsala was good but the one order was very soupy while the other was more of the chunky side. The flavor was good but I did expect a 4 to be a bit spicer on the heat scale. Guess next time I'll have to try at least a 5. The naan was alright but seemed a bit thinner and crispier than I have had in the past. All in all food was good and I would potentially try it again in the future. read more

A bit disappointed with the quality and taste of the food we ordered. The food was pricey as well. The staff and service was ok. I tried Dahi Poori (2.5/5). There was too much chat masala on the top. The samosa chat (2/5) was huge but it lacked taste. I would give them another try. read more

Great Indian food! We drive about 40 min to go here once a month or so. I love that it is consistent and really good. We have even swayed from our normal Tikka Masala and saag paneer and tried some of their other dishes. We have never disliked anything we have tried. The people are always really nice as well! I highly recommend, best Indian food around. read more

Great lunch special. Hot cooked to order. Some times buffets get kinda "golden corral " like. Not here. I'd imagine dinner is even better

Food was very good. I got the Tikka Masala without any spice. Very warm and personable staff. I would come here again. read more

This has quickly become my favorite Indian food place for miles. The staff are always super nice and accommodating. My car even broke down once while parked in front and they were so understanding in not towing it, and made sure it was there for me the next day when I was able to get help from a friend to pick it up. I've eaten inside and gotten food to go and the food is always still hot when I get home and open it even 20-25 minutes later. Love the naan and everything about the place :) read more

Always delicious and many different plates for your enjoyment. The Owner and team are friendly and available. You do not want to miss this experience. The Saag Paneer is just about perfect!! read more

This is my families favorite Indian take out restaurant! The tastes here are unique and so flavorful! We order the Sev Puri and Vegetable Pakora appetizers. We also order a side of nan, Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Mutter Paneer, and Tandoori Chicken. There are always a ton of leftovers for the next few days. We always get a spice level 2, but we have accidentally order a level 3 and it was much spicer! It is very easy to order online and the staff is always friendly! We love coming here! read more

I like this place. Service is friendly and fast.I like that they asked me questions to make sure I was ordering what I wanted. For example, customers ask for Chicken Tikka when in reality they want Tandoori Chicken. I like they take the time to make sure the customer is happy. I have only ordered chicken dishes and in each instance the dishes were SLIGHTLY overcooked (-1 star). Rice was cooked perfectly. I did like the flavors. Portions were very good. I will go back because I like the way they roll. read more

I visited this restaurant because of all the positive ratings. I am blown away and don't understand why. I had the chicken tiki masala and I was totally not impressed. First of all the price at 18.99 was high. The sauce was good, nothing special. It was served with basmati rice, again good, but I was surprised to find the chicken came in very small diced pieces. Also, you have to pour the food out of the containers into their Styrofoam plates and use plastic utensils. To top it off when you pay for it, the old guilt tipping prompts on the card machine. Not a good experience. read more

I ordered from here for the first time because my usual go to Indian food on DoorDash started charging a delivery fee. I found India Chaat Cafe and decided to give it a try because the prices were very reasonable, and they offered free delivery. I ordered the Saag Paneer and the Garlic Naan. The food was really delicious! The only complaint I have is I ordered the "mild" on the saag paneer and it definitely was not mild. I'm glad I didn't go with the next step up like I originally planned because it definitely would have been way too spicy for me. Overall, a great experience and I will order from here again. read more

Best Indian food in Dayton. The classic CTM is amazing we get every time, chicken in it is chopped up in smaller chunks imo I like better than the large chunks. This place is easy to try new things because everything is delicious. read more

Ordered by phone and food was ready within time stated. I thought it was overpriced but the two entrees (chicken tikka and tikka masala and order of extra rice) I got have been enough for five meals for one person! The tikka masala sauce if more tomato-based than other sauces I've had but the flavors are delicious. An earlier review claimed the chicken tikka masala is minced. It is not! It's chopped into small cubes. I'm not sure why they opted to do small cubes of chicken instead of the larger chunks of chicken tikka but the flavor and quality are not compromised (it was just an interesting change in texture to what I'm used to). read more

I got a 5/7 for spice and could have gotten spicier! It was really good though. I had the chicken tikka masala. The mango lassi was neon which freaked me out but it was delicious lol. read more

Pretty good food, needs some attention to how they serve, plates cups and silverware are flimsy plastic. And not the cleanest place, could use some cleaning. If you want the tour of the kitchen just ask for the restrooms. Lol. So we ordered Cholla batoora- very good but served in a tiny paper plate the bread was over flowing and was touching the dirty table :( Paneer tikka masala - very good Onion parata - good Aloo parata - not good (probably they used old potatoes) The other reviews about the staff being rude. I did not find the same. They seemed to be really sweet. The decor is interesting, a regular size cricket bat, a broken foosball table , a cheep not working air hockey. And two super dirty sticky couches. Please owners please cleanup. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place. I discovered it through this pandemic and have gone a few times for carry out. The food is top notch. Chicken tika masala, saag paneer, and garlic naan is my go to and it's always delicious. Spice levels are 1-7 and I usually go halfway. Service is always friendly. Highly recommend! read more

I love chicken tikka masala (and this restaurant makes a good one), but tomato upsets my stomach. So I have been in search of a new fave. Try the ginger chicken, it's absolutely DELISH and ginger has a ton of health benefits. read more

Food was amazing! Hearty portions, enough for dinner and lunch the following day! Every bite delicious!

This is our favorite local Indian food place. Small but food is delicious and service is fast and friendly. LOVE the naan and tikka masala

Wow, I thought by all the amazing reviews this place would blow the normal place I order from down the road out of the water! Ordered from door dash and was in shock! I spent a lot of $ on this food and it was sub par. What got me was tikka masala is with thick chunks of chicken, my chicken was minced!!! Unbelievable and that was the most expensive item I got. Really?? Minced? I'm not kidding. The garlic naan was okay and the raita was the consistency of milk! I guess I'm in so much shock right now, I spent this much $. The other item I got was potatoes with peas and it was ok, to write home about. I wish the food was good! Welp, back to my excellent go to place down the road! read more

I'm FINALLY back in Dayton and was craving some scrumptious Indian food. Looked on Yelp and found this LITTLE spot. Had the chicken tikki masala and of course the garlic nan. The staff was very polite and friendly and the restaurant appeared to be clean but very SMALL. The wait for our food was reasonable. Now the food.... No complaints at all. I read a lot of the poor reviews about "minced chicken" or not having flavor. Mine was just fine. The chicken was cut a little smaller than I was used to but it still had a great taste. I think I may have liked this cut a little better because it made it easier to dip the nan. The spiciness was exactly what I ordered. Definitely didn't knock me out of my britches and make me feel like I was dining in India, but I'll mark this as one I will visit again. read more

Nice little quaint place. No table service usually but due to the face we were the only table, someone came out and took our order. Full authentic menu, with okay prices. Even though we dined in, it came out in "to-go" containers. The utensils are plastic that you must get yourself as well as water out of a water cooler. Food was good but service brought the review down. read more

Have you noticed that all the Indian people's reviews for this place are an average of 2 stars or below? Then how is it that chaat cafe has an overall rating of 4 stars? That's right. It's the chicken tikka masala crowd. The place is filthy- we found more than a few hairs on our table. Not sure if there were there were dogs or chinchillas dining before us, but we had to maneuver around the table dirt to eat our food. The food itself was not all that bad. The malai kofta was decent and the naan wasn't bad. If you're in baby stomach mode, it can get a little spicy. The dosas were disastrous (extremely dry, felt like eating shards of glass). read more
