Overall this Indian place is not so bad especially since it is the only Indian place in this neighborhood. I really love some of their dishes but many are just average or below average.
# nth visit: doordash delivery 🙃 Paneer tikka masala roll - it is a great roll if you don't mind the oily and thick bhatura (yes it is a bhatura roll) overpowering the taste. I wish there was more tikka masala sauce/gravy they put in the roll. I loved the bites where I can get the tikka masala sauce but otherwise it was just a lot of bhatura and bad quality paneer. Take it if you really want to eat something deep fried and I am not saying it as a bad thing because there are times when you do crave that and that's okay. 😐 Samosa & cholay which comes with 2 pcs of samosa - samosa was just average or I should say below average. I have had much better samosas in the bay area itself. And some parts of my bhatura were not properly fried so it was a gooey raw maida coming in the bites. They should fry their samosas properly.

Terrible food quality. Both my partner and I got sick after eating here.

Dahi batata sev puri and chai was fabulous. Chai is really good among the nearby store, which is why we keep going to them every other day. Boti wrap and Seekh kebab wrap is solid!.

This place has the potential to become a great spot as one of the very few Indian restaurants in South San Jose. Overall the food is good but can definitely improve in terms of flavor as almost everything we ordered tasted a little sweet.

Really busy on Friday evenings. Kind of chaotic, lots of shouting orders etc. Food is ok. Kind of bland. Naan is good. The dinner meal comes with daal, rice, naan and the curry you order.

I tried chicken tandoori leg and biryani here. Tandoori leg is not fresh and its so reddish with food color. Biryani is disgusting.
Definitely wont visit here again.

Chaat Cafe is a great spot for a quick to-go or takeout. While the quality is somewhat average, it certainly hits the mark for those chai and chaat cravings. Whether you're in the mood for a warm cup of chai or a plate of flavorful chaat, Chaat Cafe has you covered. The convenience and speed of service make it an ideal choice for a fast, satisfying snack. If you're looking for a place that delivers on taste and efficiency, Chaat Cafe is a reliable option.
Good food. Tried biryani(Not Hyderabad biryani style but taste was okay) and Chole bature, I liked it.

Excellent chaat (and other dishes) place! Spot on for the few chaat dishes we tried. Only disappointing one was the fish pakora, where some of the peices were quite gummy. The chole was very good and light, the Dahi batata sev puri was perfect, the bhatura was perfect and surprisigly less oily than usual. Service was good and quick. Definitely a keeper.

Good restaurant. Nice food! I wish you guys could add some Nepali dishes, not much options for Nepali food in South San Jose. Pretty sure the chef can cook bomb Nepali dishes, just couple more spices on food now and popular dishes to add!!

I was being there 2 days ago and i order like 70 dollars something chole bhature. Food was average but they guys must give a side like chatni or onions that would be best
Bad Service
