Delhiwala Chaat Restaurant

Chole Bature, Mango Lassi and Dahi Papdi Chaat. Chole Bature was extremely oily (this was expected). The chickpeas were cooked to perfection. Dahi Papdi Chaat got little bit too much yogurt. Mango Lassi was creamy and thick.

Delhiwala Chaat is one of our go-to places for comfort food. We usually order to-go, and our favorites are consistent: Chhole Bhature for me, Paneer Paratha for my husband, and Aloo Paratha for the kids. What stands out the most is that it doesn’t taste like typical restaurant food. Instead, it reminds me of the hearty breakfasts I used to enjoy at my Punjabi friends’ homes in India, lovingly made by their moms. If you’re craving simple, wholesome North Indian comfort food that feels like home, Delhiwala Chaat is a must-try!

Another chaat place that we spotted recently in Sunnyvale. Parking can be a bit tight but it’s every bit worth it waiting for the last spot that you could get around to park :).. Got seated inside and we started with an order of 2 samosa chaat, bhalla papdi chaat, aloo tiki ( no chole) as our appetizers . We did end up ordering paneer pakora as well ( with our second round) so that we could enjoy those with the tea. Samosa chaat was great and I heard the same about the aloo tiki and bhalla papdi chaat as well. Pretty authentic taste I’d say. For our round 2 we got a couple of chole bhature and I ended up getting Hara bhara paratha. We did order a mango lassi as well ( which turned out to be just ok) and tea which did turn out to be very very strong and it looked like it was left for long on the stove to be made. The paneer pakora as well needs a bit more work when it comes to taste though overall we had a great experience. Worth a try!!! ===== Review from a visit a few months or so ago ======= We had an incredible experience at Delhiwala Chaat in Sunnyvale, CA. The cozy spot delighted us with authentic flavors and perfect preparation. Parking is usually never a problem as they have ample spots around the restaurant. The seating is available both inside and outside as well. We started with their Tea, which was beautifully brewed--strong yet smooth, providing the perfect warm-up for our meal. Next came the Bread Pakora, a crispy golden treat with a savory filling. The pakora was perfectly fried, with just the right crunch, and paired wonderfully with the mint and sweet chutneys that added a burst of tanginess and sweetness. The highlight of our meal was the Aloo Tikki Chaat with Chole. The tikki was expertly spiced and crispy, topped with soft, flavorful chole that balanced the dish beautifully. The order comes with tangy chutneys, creamy yogurt, and fresh garnishes, every bite was an explosion of authentic chaat flavors. Everything was spot on, making it an unforgettable culinary experience. Whether you're a chaat lover or just exploring, Delhiwala Chaat is a must-visit for a taste of Indian street food done to perfection!

Great selection of chaats. We totally enjoyed the dahi sev puri, bhel puri and samosa chaat. I loved dahi sev puri the most. Will revisit to try their other chaats. It kinda gets busy in the evening during weekends and gets crowded soon.

They serve traditional vegetarian ‘Indian Fast-food’, aka Chaat. Lots of dishes to explore with flavors, textures that will blissfully explode in your mouth. A great place to visit with friends and family, order multiple dishes and share (experience will be like Spanish Tapas or Chinese Dim Sum).

Looking forward to trying more items. My mom is hard to please and she complimented the food. Dahi sev puri- 5/5 right balance of sweet and savory. Not too spicy , but enough heat to complement the flavors and textures. The chutneys were flavorful which is important as it’s an integral to the dish. Chili/paneer pakora- 5/5couldn’t decide on one luckily they have half of each offering yay. Fried to golden perfection. It’s simple dish and if texture is off it ruins the experience. Have been disappointed by pakora at so many restaurants because it’s over cooked, under cooked or just straight out bland. This had the flavor and textures, ajwain in chili pakora is lovely. The chutney just adds an extra flavor boost. The ratio of batter is just right too. Another pet peeve is when restaurants mess up ratio of filling to batter. I have literally had over fried outside and raw chili pakora at other places. Mooli paratha- 3/5 this is a flat bread stuffed with daikon/radish. Overall good but stuffing was tad stringy and dry. I know radish can let off a lot of moisture so maybe they precooked it before stuffing it into dough. Gulab jamun to top off the meal. Excellent too. We didn’t finish the pakora and paratha so we had room for a sweet treat and chai. $50 well spent for satisfying food. We have some left overs to enjoy as well I felt the portion was generous but we don’t have ravenous appetite.
