Chaat Cafe is a casual Indian restaurant known for quick service and great value. The menu offers well-cooked dishes with balanced flavors, including the dahi batata sev puri appetizer, butter chicken with garlic naan, chicken tikka plate, and spicy seekh plate. The garlic naan is notable for its abundance of garlic and delicious taste, while the lentil soup has a perfect spice level. The cucumber side provides a refreshing contrast. Though the restaurant is unassuming, it skillfully executes meals, making it a good spot for affordable and enjoyable Indian food.
Recently, customers have shared mixed experiences. Some dishes like the dahi batata sev puri and chai receive praise, while others, such as the samosa and cholay, are considered average or below average. The paneer tikka masala roll is described as great but is noted for its oily and thick bhatura, which can overpower the flavor. Despite these critiques, the cafe remains a potential favorite in South San Jose, with room for improvement in flavor, as some items tend to taste a little sweet.
