A decent chaat house. With average plus chaats. Not that we're bad, but I've tasted many better chaats in the US. Must go and visit if you are in the neighborhood.

I use to like it here but some of the food is definitely stale. The flavors are there but I'm scared to eat the rest of my lunch. The shop also needs to be cleaned up a bit.

Used to live it. Have not been there for a long time. Indian Fast food

I miss spicy, authentic Indian food and this spot did not disappoint. I grabbed some samosas and a samosa chaat- and YUM YUM! My sons loved the samosas, and I grabbed enough to take home for later. At 1.75 a piece, I don't think you could beat the price and portion size. It was a sunny day after school so we sat outside, and our order was ready for pick up as soon as I walked in. I ordered online via grub hub. This spot has a lot of my favorites- gulab jamun, chaats, pani puri! I will definitely be back soon so I can get my Indian food fix. You can also get dishes made to suit a vegetarian diet. the decor inside is very sunny- yellow walls, digital pictures for the menu- and the owner came outside to check on us! Five star service!

The lamb chaat is amazing!! I can’t wait to come back and have it again. Also had some watermelon juice that was just pure watermelon, it was delicious. The woman was so kind, making sure our food’s spice levels were adequate and offering to add any more spices if we wanted them. But everything was perfect! :) Overall lovely little place to grab a quick delicious affordable meal!

Please switch back to real sauces! I used to eat here a lot, but the most recent time I got it I noticed that the sauces had been changed to something syrupy sweet artificial rather than real tamarind sauce. I only ate the top layer of my Chaat because the rest was drenched in what essentially tasted like corn syrup. Please don't cut corners by going with cheapo artificial syrups instead of real sauces - it ruins the food!!I appreciate the woman who works here though because she packs the containers with food, whereas the guy who works here really skimps on the portion you're given.

Love this place. It's a little pricier than I prefer, but the service and the food make up for it. I've been eating here for several months and have never been disappointed.
