Viks Chaat Reviews
Too expensive
Overpriced
Staff is somewhat rude
This used to be great place to have Indian food for lunch. Nice and clean with good food.
Though, I have been very disappointed last several times in the recent months. The food quality has gone down and worse - the cleanliness is not there as before. My stainless steel thali looked dirty under my food today. This made my lunch very unappealing. Going there for lunch again very unlikely for me.
Clean efficient great for gathering (outdoors) or to grab and go. The food is fresh with dishes like dosa, made to order. Indian food is part of my heritage, so the grocery store next door is a bonus.
