Good food!! This restaurant is like finding gold!! The food is sooo good, and its dirt cheap. The restaurant is all self serve and so you don't need to tip anyone which is always a plus. The restaurant is not a junky self serve restaurant but is actually really tastyfully and the customer service is good. There is a bit of a parking issue that takes time getting use to. The staff is really nice, and they dress very casual. They have lots of different choices from wraps, to samosa and lots of different entree with choice of n... read more

good for snacks I've been here once. They have good snacks. The samosa's and chat are good. If you want to have a proper meal, then this is not the place. They also have gelato there which is very good. you also get a few indian packed snacks.

Had an order of the Veggie Wrap (~$7): Seasoned potato patties, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, onions, shredded romaine, mint & tamarind chutney. Food was delicious, staff was discounted (as the food was taken to-go via a Yelp! deal) - but still really nice, and the ambiance was (resultantly) elsewhere - in this case Uncharted.

Good Chicken Tikka Masala – The flavor of the chicken tikka masala was very good. They were able to tone downt he spice for me without the curry seeming like it was less flavorful. Also the portions are generous for the price.

Yummy tandoori wraps – Delicious and simple indian food. Chaat, wraps and simmered dishes all for under 8-10 bucks. Lots of food, and spicy the way it should be.

Quick and yummy Indian! – I don't eat here very often just because I'm not huge into Indian food, but when I do, it's always delicious! The staff is friendly and the food is really good, and the atmosphere is casual. You can go there by yourself and sit to the side on a stool with your laptop (they have WIFi) or come with a few people and get a booth. It's a nice place for people trying out Indian for the first time, or people who like to have it everday since it's so reasonable!

Great Lunch – Chaat Cafe is becoming my favorite lunch destination. It's best to wait until noon to go as the high schoolers have moved on by then. The wraps make a delicious, filling lunch and most are priced between $5-$6. If the spice is too heavy try a mango lassi which helps cool the palate. The staff is fast and friendly.
