This place has it all! Real authentic Chaat food, inviting atmosphere and professionalism by all workers. The owner spends time with his guests and is always going above & beyond to create a remarkable dining experience. I enjoyed the Dahi Bhalla & Gajar Halwa and will definitely be returning until I have enjoyed EVERYTHING on the menu! HIGHLY recommend Chaatwala.

Tried it after seeing their rave reviews in google.. taste was just ok.. It was funny to see only one teaspoon of masala in Dabeli(see the pic).. lemon pieces with PavBhaji were almost stale with brown color on edges and bhaji was not hot.. not a serious chaat place..

My husband and I had a great experience at Chaatwaala. We were greeted very warmly by the owner. He explained to us about his restaurant and how he started. If you are craving for Indian street food, this is the place to try ?

Finally!!! A place that has real chaat. No bulls***. Have been visiting this restaurant when they were located elsewhere too. They now have their own place and its really nice. Pick any dish and its hard for you to go wrong, but there are a few dishes that are a must try - their Masala Puri and Chole kulcha are out of the world. Loved them. Recently had their break pakoda and kanda poha from their breakfast options - comfort brunch food for weekend. The white butter they have on their paratas, just elevates it. Ever smiling and friendly staff - quick service and best of all, kid-friendliness. They have a game room for timepass as you munch on these great food options. A must try if you are in the neighborhood. Have also had them cater for our get together parties - always a hit amongst the guest.

Delicious food, great customer service and a lovely atmosphere. The food is the closest in taste to what we're used to eat in India (But not too spicy). For all kannadigas- the masala puri, gol gappa(ask for pani puri), coffee etc is the closest thing you could find for what you find in Bengaluru. Can't wait to taste all the items on the menu.!
Vegetarian options: The entire menu is vegetarian!

We came here to try their chaats. Ordered gol guppa, dahi puri, sev puri, aloo tikki chaat, bread pakoda, vada pav, samosa pav, misal pav and stuffed chhole kulcha between 6 people. Serving size is really good, and this was more than enough food. All the dishes were very delicious, but the misal pav was exceptional. It has spicy kolhapuri masala and the taste was authentic! The service and interaction with the owner was also great. Their breads are made fresh and are worth trying!

Amazing chaat expereince !!!! Loved every item that we tried….pani poori, pav bhaji, aloo tikki chat .Moong dal halwa was super delicious.
Super cool
Best place I've ever been too. For chaat lovers this is heaven. It's all vegetarian and tasted better than others I've had before. The quality of food and the way it is made is outstanding. The owner is very polite and makes you feel very special. I loved this place and do recommend it. I will be back again definitely.
Excellent place for a quick dive into Indian chat items. Great taste and variety. Must try place.

We stopped at Chatwala by hearing the ad on Radio.I was waiting for almost 2+ years to have such a good vada pav and I have been craving for one since then. Vada Pav didn’t disappoint us at all, correctly spiced and very tasty. Pani Puri was good as well. For me winner was Vada pav. We are surely gonna stop regularly for it. Next time we are gonna try out different dishes on the menu.The person who owns Chatwala is very welcoming and the best part was he spoke my mother tongue which i get to hear rarely not to mention about it, But I felt this should also go on the review ??

By far the most authentic and delicious tasting chat food in the entire east coast according to me!The vada pav and misal pav are fantastic and the pav (Indian dinner rolls) taste exactly like they are in India! Pani puri is delicious too! The owner is extremely hospitable and the service is excellent! I would definitely and always come back to eat here every time I visit Herndon! True to it's name 100% authentic, thank you for offering the actual authentic street food from India!

We went to eat indian street food. We took three items. Pav Vaji, Vada Pav was very good. Alo tikki was ok. The price is a bit high in my point, but that compensates. Good taste. Hopefully, they will keep this price (everything was $8). Wanna go again.

My experience with the place is okays to say, ordered aloo tikki chaat and vada pav , the chaat is good to taste, the aloo tikki is spicy. The snacks corner and the main restaurant is separate section, ordered for hyderabadi chicken biryani and kadai chicken. The biryani is moderately priced but is not very tasty, also the chicken was like floating in some tomato gravy.
