There's nothing like it for a true modern India bus-station feel. Go for the daily chaat - cholle bhature (the big puffy thing), pani puri and dahi batata puri in yogurt sauce . Read more

Sabina B.

Couldn't be happier to find dhaba cuisine done so well . Try the chaat , pani puri , dosas , chole bhatura, aloo paratha , and/or the veg kathi roll. Wash it all down with a chai at the end.

Authentic and delicious Indian food . Many vegetarian options . I highly recommend the Chicken M-something (I forgot the exact name). It's a tomato-based curry sauce and the best curry I've ever had.

Cameron W

Awesome chaats as you would expect from the name. The breads here are excellent and their Masala Dosa is outrageously delicious!

Runqiu Cai

Get the Cholla Bhatura (aka big puffy thing). It's really delicious! Also, get the Dahi Pakori. Definitely order off the daily Chaat menu for uncommon Indian street foods you wouldn't normally see

Michael Davidson

THE place to go for southern Indian food . They have menu info cards near the start of the line for newbs. Pick a name you can hear easily. Share food. get a dosa .

Varun

A popular chaat place that gets crowded and closes early (8pm). Good items: chicken kathi roll , pav bhajji, chole bature. Not so good items: sev puri , dahi puri , dosa , gulab jamun .

Cameron W

The Chicken Lollipops are sensational. Shatteringly crispy , a little spicy , we'll seasoned and juicy. Serious competition for their Dosa and Cholle Bhature which are my typical go to options.

Mere

Line can get super long on weekends, but it moves fast and is totally worth it. And the food comes out pretty quick after you order.

Jaydeep Singh

Been coming here for years, back when this was still in a warehouse like facility! Never ceases to satiate! From the chaat to the biryani , you'll be hard pressed not to find something you'll enjoy.

Srikanth Kannan

You can expect a fast service even with a queue of 10+. I feel that the chaat items are better than the south indian items like dosa , idli, uttappam, sambar .

Tavon .

You can either shop in the store or order in their open Chaat . It is a lovely experience and service is quick.

Ryan Leggett

Phenomenal Indian food and market . The tandoori chicken dinner plate was especially good, but I’m coming back soon to try everything else!

Pooja

Excellent sev puri . Good uttapam. Closes early: check timings before you go. No other eateries in walking distance.

Craig Villamor

Everything's good here. The anxiety of waiting for your meal is only matched by In-N-Out!

Maddie Mae

Stop by the market in the front on your way out & stock up on spices. Cheapest turmeric anywhere.

Cécile

Awesome indian fast food and grocery . Lots of South indian/vegetarian options.

djs

Flavors are mindbendingly good here! Tried two chairs and vindaloo chicken - loved literally everything.

Nirav Shah

Very good place for chaat (Indian snacks ) with a grocery store in the front. Reasonably priced but they close early on the weekdays. Go check it out!

Jona Rak Koceli

Perfect boneless chicken curry special and chicken kebab . Great atmosphere!

Bastian Greshake Tzovaras

Amazing food, can’t wait to get back. All the food I tried so far was perfect.

Shweta Agarwal

A must go place!!! Expensive but worth it. If it wasn't so far away, i would go there every week!!!!

Odile Roujol

Try the street food seen by Vik’s, the line goes fast. An experience in itself

Aditi Luthra

Love the concept, papri chaat was half tamarind chutney and needed way more spice and papdi. Dosa was okay, they have some grocery available too. Bhel puri was better

Shina

Always stop by for a Samosa when I'm around this part of town . They also have a great selection of sweets.

Alexei Z

Classic Indian food . Closest I've had to Indian food in the UK

Arvind H.

Fav place for channa bhatura. But if you plan on "cutting" a cup of chai with a friend, these guys won't give you an extra cup!!!

Vanessa Roscoe

Basically everything is awesome! I've had about 5 different things off their menu. It's cheap so get crazy with your friends!

ashley tevatia

Chaat and chicken kathi rolls (rolls only avail on weekends)

Michael Montoya

EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD. It's worth the drive if you live far. Fast, fresh, and well priced.

Chinarut Ruangchotvit

order a bunch of chaats you've never heard of & eat family style w a few friends :)

Tim Deng

Yummy South Indian food ! Long lines but worth the wait

Varun

Very crowded on weekend, but the service is quick and food is tasty. Chicken kathi roll and uttapum were both very good.

John Murray

Masala dosa , fish curry , bhature cholle, lamb baida roti...basically everything except for that one green sauce that smells like algae.

Caroline Fogarty

Easily the best Indian food I've ever had. So many veggie options !

Shelly Zordich

Batura Cholle! It's like a bread balloon with awesome dipping sauce . Just get it. Yummmm.

Sarah

Love the papdi chaat and kulfi

Caitlin Barta

The chole bhature was really great!

Alokenanda Lahiri

Lamb baida roti and faluda kulfi ! The biryanis are great too.

Melon L

Awesome cafeteria-style Indian spot. Don't miss the mango lassi !

Evan Henshaw-Plath

Order on the south side of the building and take it around to the north side to eat.

Gagan Singh

Chaat , chole and bhature, Indian food , Indian street food

Joshua Haftel

Always tasty food! Love the pani puri , bav bahji, and Chloe samosas !

Harsha Jagadish

I think if ur in Berkeley yes head here and you won't be disappointed. Truly great food with fast and quick service .

Aaron Koch

Best pakora I've ever had! Crispy , but chewy, well spiced and comforting. Git some!

Eva Joo

Lamb Biryani and Masala Dosa were excellent. Fun place to have lunch .

Gagan Singh

Chole and bhature combo is the best around.

Neel Hajare

They’ve got the look and feel right, but both pav bhaji and seekh kebab were disappointing

Shannon Coulson

Extremely casual but very good food. I recommend the Dahi Papdi Chaat .

Vyoma

Lamb baida roti is the best dish ever! Also try the chicken kathi roll only available on weekends
