Loved the experience of Indian Chaat variety at this place. Tastefully prepared, nicely presented & served with Love. What else can we expect ?We tried multiple variety of dishes & surprisingly all them were tasty. This is unusual experience for me for an Indian restaurant in USA.Ambience is nice but it quickly becomesNoisy as this is a very busy place. Even on a Monday evening, they had approx. 20+ minutes wait for people showing up after 7:30 pm.But the wait is worth it. You won’t go wrong. Definitely check it out if you are Fremont area.

I loved the food here. It’s often hard to find authentic delicious Indian food, so I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor of the food here. I would definitely recommend this place and I would love to return when I’m in the area again. As far as I’m aware, almost everything is vegetarian, so there is definitely a lot of options. So many in fact that I struggled to pick dishes because I wanted to try everything.

We had dinner at Chaat Bhavan Fremont on Friday night. We found that there was no wait time for our party of 2 using the Google Assistant feature in the Google Maps app and we were seated immediately after we got there. Kofta curry and Garlic Naan were delicious. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. The ambiance of this chaat bhavan location is much better compared to the Sunnyvale chaat bhavan.

Have been a regular here since 3 years now, I think it’s the only place in the Bay Area which caters to for all age group and above all a variety of options for vegetarians folks.Having Jain options is definitely a plus.The ambience is good and food never disappoints, the owner aunty is always walking around to make sure everyone is doing good, in addition to her worth mentioning - Dolly -has been attending to us from past couple of times, she is friendly, courteous and just pleasant to be around that goes a long way.… it seems that off lately there is an actual emphasize on good customer service and that’s a rarity in Indian restaurants.We bring all our guests here and will continue to do so !Kudos and keep it up …

Ordered catering for a party. Service was quite exceptional. And all the guests loved the food!! Kofta curry is a must try here. Samosa is also pretty good. As for dessert, mug dal halwa and rasamalai are amazing 🤩

Now have had 4 meals in the last 5 days. 2 in store, 2 delivered.Amazing place with some mind blowing North Indian food options. It was literally difficult to choose :D but we decided on Chana Bhatura and Bhalla Papdi Chaat. (1st visit) Bhalla seemed to be very old (not fresh), Chana Bhatura was very good with addition of spices and salt and pickles. Jeet was very sweet.Also tried ordering Gobhi Munchurian and Hakka Noodles (no salt but okayish)3rd meal was main course Veg Munchurian, And Dal Makhani (Amazing)And now again ordered Paranthas in lunch which were amazing!!! Complimentary Raita, Onion and pickle were there ❣️

The quality of food is really awesome. Ordered noodles,cheese chilly, fried rice and dahi paapdi chaat. The gravy of curries were kinda same so it’s better to order different vegetables along with indo Chinese. The noodles at this place is my all time favorite.Fried rice was good too!!

I dont like posting bad reviews about businesses, I really dont. But this one was terrible. Terrible terrible service, terrible August specials.There was a 15 minute wait time, which is okay, but then we had to wait another 15 minutes to place our order - no one attended to us. With no signs of getting food even 30 minutes after ordering, we ended up canceling our order and walking away. Disappointing.They did bring the August special Kale pakoda chaat after a while but that was terrible in itself. The batter was sooo thick, with barely any yogurt or chutney, or pomegranates. One would expect better chat from a place which is called chat bhavan.Inexcusable. Sub-mediocre.

Food is amazing. The only reason why I’m giving 4 stars is because of the space constraint. The tables are too close and it’s always packed in the weekends. We also ordered catering from here and the taste of the food was great! Quantity was too much for the price.

Chaat was really good. Got the dahi papdi chaat and the monthly special of California bhel which was ok. Missed the kick on that one.

Good food, good ambience, family friendly, good service.Tandoori Paneer Tikka had good spice level. Veggies could be a little more seasoned. Panipuri was really tasty. Hara bhara paratha was good too, which was served with masala raita. Chutneys are delicious. No complaints overall.There is always waiting on the weekends. So recommend planning in advance.

Over hyped place.Taste - averageFood gave me stomach bug.I tried few items for my group and everything was below average except hara bhara bhel. Bhel was just fine. Vada pav was tasteless.I would never go to this place again.Tables were very congested.We had to stand 3 times during food to accommodate others.Nope just ok restaurant not very good.Parking is tricky.Table helps /servers were good they were humble and nice people.1* for over all service because it was congested. Foods fall off the table many times and my foot were on the food because nobody came to clean.Otherwise service would have been 4*

Chaat Bhavan is a delightful restaurant with exceptional food quality. The dishes are bursting with authentic flavors, and their menu offers a wide variety of options to satisfy every palate. The ambience is inviting and exudes a vibrant atmosphere, making it a perfect place for a casual dining experience.Regarding the service, I had the pleasure of being attended by Dolly, and she truly made my visit memorable. Dollys warm and friendly demeanor added to the overall pleasant dining experience. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and provided excellent recommendations.

I have been avoiding Chaat Bhavan due to the multiple bad experiences at the Sunnyvale branch.But this one was different. The staff was courteous and prompt in their service.I ordered Chana Bhatura and Thali. It was tasty and decently cooked.

Good indian food. Its has wide variety of items and not just chaat. Seating is a bit tight as this place is very popular. Parking is also shared by other places so its a bit tight at peak hours. Service was very quick and we got to our table in about 15min wait time at peak hours. Good place for good food.

This place came as one the most popular for chaat while we were on our San Francisco trip. Looking at the reviews, I was sure I want to try Chaat Bhavan even though I was done with my lunch and quite full.We reached sometime around 3PM and the place was jam packed full. After we waited for some time we got table and first thing my eyes caught was Sabudana vada😍. We also ended up ordered Sev Puri, Different flavored Pani puri and Mango Extravaganza from special October menu. I even ordered Vegetable Manchurian.I must say, food was very tasty. If you have chaat love like me the place can be good to bookmark and try. I highly recommend to try more items from menu which I couldn’t try but looked amazing on other tables. 😜

Amazing place - great food, great service. No complaints.Their menu is vast and you can find something for everyone. Everything we have tried there has been tasty and up to the mark. Dal dhokli is a must try. They have a monthly special menu which is pretty good option.

As the name has it, I found the chat selection and taste excellent. I ordered one of the October specials the panipuri shots and it rocked. Loved the masala nimbu paani too. The gobhi manchurian felt little too vinegary though. The service was fast and prompt. I closed with their silver paan and that was excellent too. Overall, I found the food pretty good and the ambiance good. No regrets.

My absolute favorite restaurant when I am craving for North Indian food! Lots and lots of options to choose from. We ordered dahi puri and vada pav - both were super tasty and the matar kachori was one of the best I’ve tried. Must try!! Loved the kofta and bhindi masala. Portion size is decent.Fast service, friendly staff. You can never go wrong with Chaat Bhavan Fremont. I would say it has better and faster service than their Sunnyvale branch. Overall, delicious food!

Been here several times and the food has always been delicious. We have pretty much tried most of the chaat items on the menu and everything is tasty. This time we had paneer sizler, dhahi paapdi chaat as and masala chaat. The paneer is served soft but make sure to eat it soon and also is a big portion. It comes with green and red chutney on the side.

New update on 2022-Went with 4 families to celebrate friends birthday but luckily they accommodate us well . Order came fast and this time food quality is better than last visit .. restaurant was not very busy and mostly take out orders . All dishes are good except paneer sizzler. It was like paneer pieces are in red tomato source with sizzler effect.Beware of cake cutting charges per person .. as said earlier we had large group and almost 25 people including small kids . They just kept our cake and provided knife and disposable plates and charges $2 per person. This is too much for the service they gave for cake cutting.Old 2020 review:I been to this place many times and almost every time there is something missing in the dish. Last visit I took my parents there and we tried multiple dishes and had same experience. We even told them how we like the dish but end up very blend without masala and spices. Only Naans were good as they were hot 🔥. Masala tea was almost dark in Color.Please fix the bansuri for kanha .

I am very disappointed with the way Chaat Bhavan handled my phone order. I placed an order of Tandoori Paneer Tikka and received Paneer Tikka Masala (curry item) and the person was unwilling to accept the mess up. I did NOT want to curry item, and I had to order again for the item I wanted for the MISTAKE CHAAT BHAVAN MADE!!

Review №33

2022-05-01 04:25:45

Good place for all the Chaat items in Bay Area. Their Chaat dishes are delicious and quality is also good. Paneer sizzler is also tasty. Definitely give a try to Moong Daal Halwa, a perfect dessert. They have different variety of curry options as well. Service is fast.

Great place for vegetarian North Indian food. Food quality is easily one of the best in Southern Alameda county, would have to go as far north as Berkeley to find anything comparable. It tends to be kinda crowded though so service can be tricky, although the staff quality is top notch in politeness and being to the point. My go-to place for North Indian food!

2022-12-06 15:40:56

Good place to eat good Indian affordable food. I would rate it 3.5. If I don’t want to explore much, I go here or order for takeout. If you really want to enjoy 5/5 then probably I won’t recommend.P.S. I think they have improved a lot over the months. Look at the recipes and taste was awesome. Specially the Saag with Makke ki Roti was super se upar. Rating should be 4, can be compared with 5 star if it’s in its own place with enough good amount of spacious parking seeing the crowd over here.

Great food at chaat bhavan. There are many options on the menu. We really enjoyed dahi batata sev puri, Chinese bhel and paneer paratha.Dahi batata sev puri was perfect. Unlike most places where it is too sweet because of sweet tamarind chutney.Chinese bhel isn’t served at many Indian places. It was very different, although a little sweet but we enjoyed it.Paneer paratha was simply great, hara bhara paratha was good too.Dabeli, Chole bhature, samosa tasted good too. The portions were good for the price.

I have been going to this place for 10 years and one thing that is consistent is consistency. Consistency in taste, service and atmosphere. One should go here with family for homely food. We generally order Chole Bhature and Chaat items such as Papdi Bhalle Chaat and we love them. Their Thalies are good too. My son likes Methi Puri Aloo. Hospitality is good. One thing I have recently noticed is that they put you on hold and never get back when you are trying to order on call so my advice would be to order online from their website if you are getting a Togo.

Super disappointed on my recent visit. Ordered Jain Hakka Noodles based on their recommendations for jain food and it tasted so bad. No sauce or spices at all. Just boiled noodles and bell peppers in it. Horrible taste.

I used chaat bhavan catering service for my kids birthday party. I ordered tandoor package with tea as add on for 40 people . All the food items (cocktail samosa, aloo tikki chana, malai kofta, chilli paneer, dal makhani, gulab jamun) were very delicious and service was awesome. Really recommend their catering service.

Looking at the reviews, we took a chance upon this place and it was pretty disappointing. First off, we made the mistake of not checking if this place is only vegetarian and after realizing, we continued to go for it. Bad idea as the food was flavorless, absolutely no taste and service was mediocre. Enjoy at your own risk.

Review №44

2021-07-07 23:50:24

We ordered House Thali and Bhel Thali. Food was not that great. There was not enough spice or salt in any of the dishes. Also the kheer tasted bad. We had high expectations of this place but were quite disappointed. I would, however, like to try other dishes here to see why this place has such a good rating.

2022-10-08 04:27:54

Went on a Friday night, after reading great reviews!! Super crowded so there was a 20 minute wait Ordered dahi Bhalla chaat, veg Manchurian and masala soda.Dahi Bhalla chaat - Big portion size but Bhalla had no salt, dahi had no flavor, chutney was less. Overall super bland. I asked for extra chutneys but still wasn’t satisfied. Bhalla was bland.Veg Manchurian: Soggy round balls with extra vinegar ketchup sauce. The Manchurian was abit cold from inside. The sauce was extremely sad in taste bec it was basically vinegar added in ketchup. Yuck! Manchurian tasted okay after striping the sauce off.One star is actually for the masala soda. It was great and refreshing.Sorry to say but they need to buckle up their quality for sure!

Great and affordable food. I recommend chaat over other items though. They keep things interesting by having monthly specials as well.Staff is quick and friendly.Dabeli is a big no no here. Sev Puri, Dahi Puri, Malai Kofta, Pani Puri shots (month special), vada pav and Samosa are fab!

We have catered from Chaat Bhavan many times in past, including live Chola/Bhatura and Pav Bhaji counter at home. This time we catered Thali concept. Food was delicious as usual, all our guests were talking about it. Highly recommend to opt for for the Hot Case if picking up/delivering early on event. we picked up food in Hot Case around 2pm and served around 6pm, food was fresh and pipping hot! Definitely will partner more with CB in coming future!

The restaurant name is Chaat Bhavan. People will naturally assume it to have good chaats. But oh boy was I disappointed. I ordered a Raj Kachori, which was the part of special chaats. The kachori looked like you need to gain muscles to break it and there was no spice, bland flavor. Thoroughly disappointed. It’s just a hype. I don’t really understand how this place got over 4 stars

Amazing food with a ton of choices; extremely clean as well. The paneer roll particularly is amazing. There’s often a line, but it’s well worth the wait. The staff are always helpful and offer good recommendations. Will be coming back soon!

One of the best vegetarian only spots in Fremont! Menu is exhaustive and has a variety of options. Chola bhatura is amazing especially if looking for non spicy kids option. Their Chinese bhel along with sabzi with naan are also sublime.

Review №52

2023-08-31 02:07:00

The food is okayish, not everything in the menu is good. Service is good and ambience is good too.🤔 sev puri was too sweet, they probably added only sweet chutney, I would have liked some savory flavor in it too maybe with green chutney😀 Bombay vada pav was very good😕 Methi puri with bhaji - Methi puri was good but the bhaji they gave with it was a very plain tasteless aloo sabji

2023-08-31 22:18:49

3 stars only because of a couple of items that we ordered were not as great as we they would be. Otherwise, a great place for Indian food. Service was quick and atmosphere is friendly. We ordered chole bhatoore, bhatoore were fantastic but chole are not like you get in Delhi. Order dahi papdi chaat and all the chat was submerged in a bowl of dahi(yogurt), it is not supposed to be served like that. We probably didnt order the right items. Will give it a try again and order something else.

Great vegetarian and chat place in Fremont. Never disappointed in the past decade that I have been visiting off and on.Whether you want chat or snack or bread varieties, they got them all.While you cant make too much of customisation to the order, thats needed very rarely though.Their chat portions are really huge and good for two people.

I havent written many reviews but when I do it means I was pretty disappointed with the service provided. I had placed an order two weeks ago for a party I was going to have. On the day of my order to be picked up they stated there isnt an order. We got there around 10:30 am and the event was at 11 am. Although the lady at the register apologized and said they will have the order ready within 30 mins I didnt get too upset. What made me upset was the food that was made in a rush and was completely a waste. No flavor and the seasonings were missing. At this point, it wouldve been better if I didnt even order the food and went elsewhere. None of my guests liked it and were very dissatisfied with the food. They charged the full amount for the food and didnt offer a discount.

Very nice, upscale feel for a desi restaurant. Linen tablecloths and napkins, full service, professional staff appearance, courteous service.Food portions are normal, not too small not too large. Presentation is excellent. Prices are reasonable especially considering the Bay Area. Taste was average but that is subjective. I felt it was very mild and somewhat bland.So my observation continues to hold true that the ambience and service are inversely proportional to taste... the nicer a place in appearance and service, the food taste will be sub-par; the more run down, hole-in-the-wall a place is, the quality and taste will excel.Also they were a bit understaffed. My server had too many tables to attend to and was not readily available multiple times. Still he was polite, courteous and maintained a smile.

Good selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. However if you are vegan don’t assume dishes marked vegan are really vegan. Apparently you have to specify “no butter” otherwise your vegan bread/roti will turn up buttered!

Good Indian vegetarian food and reasonable price. We went to this place on a Friday evening around 8 PM. Though tabes were available when we went, it got very busy soon thereafter and saw lot of people waiting outside.

They have wide variety of chaat items. Most chaat dishes are delicious. Quantity is huge and prices are lower compared to other chaat places in both sides of the bay. Their staff is very friendly and courteous. Parking is a bit tight and it usually gets very crowded at night. Their gajar halwa was delicious and perfectly sweetened. I would definitely recommend this place for Chaat items.

This place in Fremont is always buzzing with people. The quality and presentation of the dishes are great and these days the service is pretty fast too. When you go during peak hours, its really crowded but the wait will be worth it. Parking spaces are limited and you gotta search for roadside parking at the back of the restaurant. The servers do not walk but literally sprint to cater to so many customers and their demands. So please tip them well. Bhel thali, Choley bhatura, Paneer paratha are some outstanding dishes Ive tried there. Must visit place. Most servers are curtious and do a great job.

Super fast service and the food was also good. Decent price, two people around $30. The amount of chole for Channa Bhature was huge, we couldnt finish it. Vada Pav is also good, the vada was not spicy but the red and green chutney were good.

Review №65

2023-08-05 04:32:10

My recent trip to Chaat Bhavan was a complete letdown. The staff was unwelcoming, and there were no smiles on their faces. The biryani lacked any masala and spice, and the biryani had a description saying that basmati rice was used, but clearly it was an off-brand rice and at that, it was stale. The portion size was disappointingly small, leaving me unsatisfied. Save yourself the frustration and find a better dining option elsewhere.

Food quality and test - 4 stars ****Vegetarian food - 5 stars *****Ambience - 4 stars ****Cleanliness - 4 stars ****Value for money - $$Kid friendly - okParking - limited, freeWe regularly visit Chaat Bhavan for dinner. Chhat Bhavan in Fremont /Mowery is always full and has waiting period of 5 to 20 minutes. Staff here works very well to get you table as quickly as possible. Chaat Bhavan actually is one of the first few good vegetarian restaurant that started offering only vegetarian dishes. We had good time again yesterday night. My kids also enjoy Indian veg food here.appetizers are so yummy and delivers value for $$, we satisfied our hunger with appetizers variety only.Seating arrangement is bit tight and quite often you are overhearing other tables conversation.

This is one of the many hundreds of indian restaurants in the bay area. Bay area can compete with Indian cities for indian food. As with most of them, this is quite good. If you have grrown up in India, no food outside of India will ever be in the same league. Not sure why I had to mention that, but the food here is very good compared to food outside of India.I particularly like their Makki da roti (Corn Bread) and Saag and order a lot just to feel the authenticity of Indian food. I love their chaats. They are better than other places. I would say they are expected to be considering their name is Chaat Bhavan. I particularly enjoy their dahi chaats. I like the Dahi that they serve here.Its a bit difficult to find parking here. It is mostly always crowded since the neighborhood is a conglomerate of Indian software professionals, Indian business owners and a train of other Indian huts.

Let me start by saying Ive always loved Chaat bhavan and its always been a tried and tested five star.. so of course for my ten year wedding anniversary today I went with my husband only to receive stale chole bhatura where the chole tasted days old and even the batura tastes bad. the Chaat was ok, extremely extremely disappointed especially when there are enough new indian restaurants willing to be consistent with their food quality and wont be back in a hurry. it is absolutely unacceptable to sell stale food.

Great food but poor service.Waiters dont carry a pen/paper/phone to take your order. They just memorize it and it usually causes them to forget items.Also long waits once you order

I ordered Puri Bhaji and was hoping to get a curried bhaji but got a dry bhaji which was more like an aloo sabzi which is dry in nature. I was courteously trying to explain that to the servers but they were not willing to accept my reasoning and were a bit argumentative. They should know that customers especially Indians have an idea about Indian dishes. The bhaji can be both curried and dry and they should offer the customers an option to choose. Secondly, they should refill water from time to time if theyre not providing a water jug. When I asked another server to do that, he acted as if he was doing a favor to me.

The food looks good and might taste good, but in most of the curries, a lot of ARTIFICIAL FOOD COLORS has been used. Even after washing hands, the stain remains for 2 days. It was not my first time experience, its my 3rd visit to the same restaurant with family .

Veg manchurian tastes sweet.. Made of ketchup n vinegar... N veg balls is for name sake.. It seems only grated cabbage is used to make veg balls.. Chef needs to improve his manchurian making skills..Paneer tikka masala looks good to eyes ... But good amount of food color lingers on after washing hands..Paneer was chewy n rubbery.. DisappointedNothing changed in above over 5/6th visits.Good thing is hakka noodles n fried rice is good

Really tasty kofta, and pretty decent paneer butter masala. However, I felt there was too much food coloring in the curries. And the same gravy was used for both the dishes.

Definitely a place to go if you are craving for authentic North Indian food. As the name itself says ‘CHAAT BHAVAN’, it stands to it in every aspect.The ambience is particularly Indian with soft Indian music playing in the background.The order was taken within 5 mins and it came to the table in another 10 mins, which is AMAZINGGGGG!! Even though the restaurant was super crowded.Ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Definitely a recommended place. Anytime!In the pictures:Chana BhaturaBombay Chinese Bhel

The gobi Manchurian tasted bad. Seemed like it had a lot of tomato ketchup. No other flavor. Finally meetha paan barely had any fillings. The paan was wrapped foil to seem bigger from outside but the actual pan leaf was so small inside and they are priced at $3 per piece. Ridiculous!

You might not want to go here if you are not of Indian descent.Had never been here before and was trying to get a gift card for my kids teacher as she really likes this place. (She is of Indian descent.)Walked in, was asked if I was picking up door dash, when I said no, she stared at me for moment, then proceeded to pick up the phone and talked for a while.Another person came up after a few and asked what I needed. Said I needed a gift card and was told they didnt do gift cards. I pointed to the the gift card holder and said you dont sell those?After a little back and forth, he waited for the lady to get off the phone in front of us. They had a brief conversation in Hindi which ended in her telling me they dont give discounts.I proceeded to tell her I didnt ask for a discount, I wanted a gift card. I pointed to the cards to make sure she knew what I meant. This was followed with well, we dont discount gift cards either.I told her Id never been here before and was buying a card for someone who said Id like this place. I was going to get some things to try as well, but I was treated so badly I decided against it.It would take a lot to convince me to ever try to go back there. If this is how they treat you for a gift card, I cant imagine if I would have actually have eaten there.

Food is good. The chat items are decent here. We ordered the House Thali & April Special Punjabi Thali- though the food arrived different than what I Expected it to be.House Thali was regular Thali we received having 1 Parata (or 2 chappathis), rice (Kind if like a Pulav) was very little with more side items. Other Item was just a big Parata with butter and much more Curd, Chana and Spinach side and they did not have salt completely (headsup).This is not an usual item that we eat but though we finished the main parata sides were still there that we go To-go. I had come here for dinner but Lunch this was the first time.

Pros: Service was good. The waiter came to our table after quite a wait, but was very respectful. He laid out a table covering and gave us nice utensils, which is better than our outside dining experience at other Indian restaurants.Cons: the food. We ordered a papri chaat, veg manchurian, and the chili paneer wrap. Apart from the papri chaat, everything else tasted bland - even though we ordered medium spicy.Conclusion: Chaat Bhavan has good service but it seems like they are not taking any risks when it comes to their food. Everything was just *okay*. It wasn’t bad, it was edible, but flavor was lacking.

Variety of dishes especially vegetarian. They also can be customized without onions and garlic to cater to Jain diet like paneer pakoda, makki di roti and Sarso ka saag. Their chole kulche was awesome with a large quantity. Only downside is it becomes too crowded on weekends so the place is jam packed and sometimes parking is not easy to find. But food is amazing especially if you are into Indian street food and comfort food without the sticker shock.

2021-10-06 15:04:51

Nothing special! The portions in thali were smaller compared to chaat house. The Kheer was watery and looked like condensed milk with water. The only thing good was chai and Samosa.The Hakka noodles were oily and bland with nowhere close to Indio Chinese. The paneer tikka was bland . When we asked for salt, they did not have it .Don’t think we will go back . Being Indians it is not what we were looking for

Food, Service & the Ambiance was good to our taste.We really appreciate the truly pure vegetarian (well maintained) restaurant on the East Bay.There are many pure vegetarian restaurants in the Bay Area, but many fall short of either the good cuisine or the service or the ambiance. Finding all good is a rarity.This is an anytime choice for me.

I just went to Chaat Bhavan and ordered some food! First, the guy was busy talking on the phone. Even we were standing in front of him, he picked up the phone first and then put them on hold and rushed into taking our order. So we ordered Chana masala and I asked him if they had daal and he said yes. He didn’t even ask me what kind of daal I want and he placed that order for me. I ordered 3 pani puri that I haven’t tried yet. I’m pretty sure it is not tasty at all because the Daal that we bought went to garbage and the Chana too. He charged me $51 for the food which wasn’t good at all. This was first time and and it will be last time at this place.

Its ordinary at best and rude wait staff at worst.We went by the ratings and gave it a try. Ordered a bunch of chaat. The taste was nothing to brag about but at least doesnt make you sick(though the spices can cause some pimples), so thats good.But here are the real problems:- the table cloth was dirty with stains. You can add white papers all you want over the cloth but you cant hide the underlying lack of cleanliness.- Wait staff is rude(not all but a few folks in particular - you will get to know them). For some reason, these people have some attitude towards customers and have forgotten what constitutes a pleasant experience. Whats with tossing the plate at a far distance from the customer.Overall, too many choices across the bay area to bother going back again.

It was like stumbling into Indian mecca! The place was packed and had the feel of a large family gathering. Waiters were bustling, children were laughing, and the menu was bursting at the seams. The entree menu was literally as long as my arm (theres a seperate menu for drinks and desserts) and crammed with every possible dish imaginable.I ordered the aloo ghobi with naan. When it arrived, and quite promptly, the serving looked a bit small but in eating it, it was actually very satisfying. Everything was seasoned well and had a wonderful authentic flavor.The prices are incredibly reasonable for the ambience and service they offer. Tip included I didnt spend more than $20! It would take several visits to try everything they have to offer. If youre a vegan, youre out of luck on the drinks side. Other than soda, all their drinks are milk or yogurt based, but thats no big deal. You come for the food and the food is excellent!

Food and service were amazing!!! We (Moreau Catholic High School) catered samosas, malai paneer, chana masala, naan and biyrani rice for about 50 people. They delivered on time, set up the food, gave us instructions on which foods go with which, and even came with utensils and plates for our students.They even threw in some extra side dishes, that they thought would pair the best with what we had ordered. It was fantastic food and I cant wait to order again or even bring my entire family.

Todays lunch was bad. They must have changed the chef. The Gobi manchurian was sweet. Chole was sweet. We could taste sugar in both the dishes. Pani puri was pathetic. Pani puri water was tasting like a ready to eat that we get in any Indian grocery store.The service was not that great, the waiters were just gathered at the corner and chit chatting. We had to call the waiters to take the orders and the same for getting the check. Your standards are lowered and I hope you improve with time.Please have good cooks that can make authentic Indian food. I had been here before and it was great but now a BIG THUMBS DOWN. Please taste your food before you serve.Good luck

BAD food and WORST service. ordered dabeli was nothing like the typical dabeli should be like no proper dressing as if they just stuffed sweet potatoes. we requested paneer and other sabzi/curry to be spicy but it was sweet. Although the waiter confirmed it would be spicy.The waiters were serving food like they were in the race. They dont ask for your preference and if you need butter or not. They will just make it as they please. When we asked why was the butter added. The waiter gurupreet started arguing with us.No respect for customers.Please dont go.

It use to be so good. Now the quality has completely gone down. The chole was super sweet. Pani puri- pani was so bland, Gobi manchurian was super tangy. I wouldn’t visit the restaurant again for sure.

Ordered soda as a part of order and this is how they delivered.Pathetic cheap Attitude.Reading your reply, I wont change my comments because its your restaurant who is selling soda in Doordash and its you who have decided to sell sodas from the fountain rather than providing a can of soda for orders.It is a cheap attitude, why cant you guys just provide a can for delivery.I dont think you would be even willing to do anything.

I have been to this place over 10 times and the consistency is amazing. Their food has authentic Indian taste. Best in the Bay area I have had so far. Highly recommended.

The kesar Badam sucks really bad youd rather wash your hand with it than drinking it. Badam milk is suppose to be rich with nuts and thick in texture but this was rather the opposite. Food was alright for the price. When I posted been 20mins and still waiting for the naans..

Ordered some Hakka noodles. Very dry and roasted. Not edible. Butter and garlic Nan was also very dry. This week it was bad. My kid had great expectation on the noodle but very disappointed. I did inform to the hotel immediately but I was asked to bring the order back as whole (twice). We had ordered for $58 for 2 of us and dont call for fun. Wanted to share feedback. I am regular dine in customer but take out quality bad.

Decided to hire Chaat bhavan Fremont for catering, after we visited the restaurant once, just to have lunch!We had an awesome dine-in as well as catering experience! For catering, we ordered the Tandoor Concept from their catering menu. The quality of food was outstanding! Everyone including us loved the food! We had no idea about how much food will be sent, so we ordered the right number. However, the quantity of food was many times more than enough and we had half the quantity as left overs. My tip will be to order for only 60% of your desired number, Im sure it will be more than sufficient for everyone.But in all, a must go to place for Indian food catering or to even to drop by to eat at the restaurant!

Overrated, nothing else. There chaat, bhel puri sucks. And every thing else has took much salt and cream. Expensive for the quality and quantity they provide you. Staff is rude, and non courteous. Parking is hard to get as well.

Dine in is fine, staff brings food hot and fresh, nice family atmosphere, decent prices. Take out, leave it alone! Unless you know someone who can shepherd your order through the maze of people milling around the counter your wait may be interminable. I ordered appetizers over the phone, $21 & change. No food!I ended up with pizza from across the street. The next day management gave me a $22 gift card as compensation; which card I used to buy 10 samosas, many weeks later. The chutneys, red and green, were predictably, okay the samosas were nearly inedible, 3 were uneaten. Leathery, oily wrappers containing something like Indian spice mashed potatoes and peas. $18 or $19, way overpriced, I gave the balance on the card to the staff for having to persevere in in that chaos. Yuck emoji!

Not a good experience today. I walked in to pickup for DoorDash at 12:25 and I was waiting for almost 30 minutes for the order. I never got an answer for the estimated time for the order to be completed. The order was very simple too. It was just a drink and two spherical shaped food balls. The employees seemed busy but the customer service was bismal.

We went to Fremont Chat Bhavan on a Sunday. Surprisingly, it was not very crowded. There were empty tables. But, they made us wait for 15 mins. We patiently waited. When they were ready to take the guests to table they picked another group that just came. I lost patience at this time. They can’t even maintain a simple log of waitlist. I yelled at the staff person who did not bother to check who is next in the waitlist (sorry for that but I was hungry and they did not do their job properly). Chat Bhavan should maintain a waitlist log book. Food was ok. I will not go there again.

Review regarding food and serviceService: I had one of the worst customer service experience so far . I was constantly asked if I was ready to order while I looked through the menu and was trying to figure out what to eat. I asked the waitress to bring my pani puri before the chaat and she said she would ( not a friendly talk) . She glanced on me constantly ( I know it’s part of the job to glance but you can come up to the customer to ask how they are doing ). I was told it comes with a complimentary drink . So I asked for chai, when the chai wasn’t brought to me, I asked friendly were it was . She could have spoken nicely, it’s not that I wanted an apology . I don’t know what your tip system is but tip is based on the quality of service . To me it was quite disappointing, as you guys were not busy and there were 3 table of customers inside excluding me.Food : With the food the chaat was too thin and the pani puri didn’t have enough pastries for all the puri. I would let go of the food if the service was good but my experience was bad with the way I was treated and the way the food tasted.Again I would have understood if the restaurant was busy because I have also worked as a server in a much much busier place but the way I had conversation with the server was very unpleasant. Maybe they had a bad day, but you can always let the other know how you are feeling.

Lots of good menu items ! Went during navratri evening so it was packed, Had to wait about 20 mins to get a table for 6 . Food came out quick and was delicious so there was nothing to complain of .The parathas were really good, we tried Aloo, Muli, Gobi and Paneer . The dahi papri Chaat was a little bland .Overall good service and good food .

Definitely try the Bombay Chinese bhel, unique to this restaurant. Please ask for more gravy, else it could turn up dry sometimes. But I highly recommend this dish.Chole batura was good.Samosa chat was pretty average.

Love their thali. Good quantity and variety of options. Comes with roti, 2 Currys 2 lentils, rice, papa, salad, raita, kheer and drink of choice. Everything was tasty. Enough for two small eaters. The quality of the food is also good and service is quick.Other items on the menu like chaat are also good.Busy on weekends. Had to wait 10 mins.

Good Food Every time. Quantity not consistent though!But I like all the dishes, specially the Chaats! Not able to find the same quality and taste for North Indian cuisine and Chaats anywhere else in Bay Area.Service wise, not all waiters are good. But one lady called Sukhdeep at Fremont makes me going to Fremont location instead of Sunnyvale.She understand all aspects of service. Smile is always there on her face. Very well knowledgeable, quick. Always at ease and makes us feel comfortable and let us enjoy the experience of having good food. I think she can be trained to be at Michelin Star Restaurant!

Super expensive, and the food is not tasty.Ordered one Chana Bhatura, which costed $14.99 (without tax) and despite mentioning in notes to make it spicy, it did not taste good at all.Their pricing is 30-40% more than other places, and still the taste is not good.There is India cash and carry nearby which has restaurant and 40% cheaper than Chaat bhavan.(P.S Not affiliated with either of them)
