Grown out of street food markets and sell-out supper clubs, Chit Chaat Chai is an unashamedly bold celebration of Chaat – small, flavourful plates from the street food stalls of India. Try our Bombay Bhel, the iconic beach treat of puffed rice, potatoes, onions and chickpeas married in house-made chaatneys; samosa chaat, a party of tangy tamarind, crunchy samosa and crispy sev, Darth Vada Pau - an Indian twist on a burger stacked with spiced potato patties and loaded up with house made chaatneys, to name a few. Why not check out our Indian-spiced cocktails and mocktails too? Our Sunset Over Goa cocktail, a delicious blend of vodka, lychee and hibiscus, featured in Elle Magazine. And, our Cat in a Cage Becomes a Tiger – a firm favourite – packs a punch with house made passionfruit, tamarind syrup, lime, and fresh chilli.

    Overall poor experience because when we arrived for our scheduled slot, we found the restaurant was closed. You should not show availability for a closed restaurant. Food/service/ambience/value based on previous experience at the restaurant.

    Chaat is better than any other menu item. The drinks are overpriced for what they offer, I couldn't taste the the alcohol in any of the drinks we ordered. Rechecked with them if they have forgotten to put any ?Very poor at taking feedback, Dont ever have Masala chai ..its premade and tastes like having a sugar solution and served cold !! When we complained the answer was thats how sweet 90 % ppl like it so we can't change it and then microwaved it and gave it back to us to drink - Which we left ? Wont take it off our bill even when pointed that the 4 Tea glasses are full on our table . Gave feedback about some food items which was also not taken quite well. I won't go back just beacuse how they reacted to any conversation. I am from india so please don't try to tell me that's how its made. Il Won't last long if they don't change attitude ans improve their pricing.

    Thank you for your feedback. Masala Chai - Is made fresh everyday in batches. Unfortunately, we cannot logistically prepare Chai per order as this would take a significant amount of time to brew and most likely result in a complaint on why the chai took so long. Overpriced Cocktails - Are priced at £5 everyday before 7pm and after 9pm. At full price they are £8 which is below average in London. Sorry to hear you won't be returning due to a conversation and misread ambiguous behavioural cues.

    Our meal at Chit Chaat Chai was an eye opener. As soon as an Indian family of eight walked I knew we were probably onto a winner and I was right. The number of dishes on offers is limited but all the better for that as they are beautifully flavoured and freshly prepared. As in India everything arrives at once at the table. Small plates like the wonderful Pani Puri with a scented broth were divine as were the curries, Dahl and straight out of the oven naan. Two small plates, two large, and two sides (rice and naan) plus a large beer and a mango lassi came to 45 pound. Very good value

    Great food but inexplicably noisy - it turned into a nightclub at 9.30pm much to the bemusement of the diners who were there for a nice sat eve meal!!

    Hi VirginiaC, Sorry about that, we were experimenting that evening. Safe to say we won't and haven't done it again!

    Located in the relative peace of Old York Road this place is a gem. They have a lovely selection of dishes and, as with a lot of Indian food, the selection for vegetarians is outstanding. The fried Bhindi is fabulous. One of us had a great chicken curry too. Recommended.

    Oh MikeK you're the best. Thanks for supporting local and championing us Independents on Old York Road :)

    No better catch-up with friends than with great food and service. The four of us ordered all the starters and mains from the lunch menu so we could try everything. Been here a few times now and always leave with a happy tummy :)
