| - THE BEST place for Indian Chat items. A bite of Dahi Papdi Chat just takes me back home. So we ended up having just the chat items and tea for first couple of times and wanted to try actual food other than munchies. You'll be like 'actual food?'. Lol.
Anyways, this one time we wanted to go all vegetarian and planned to hit Chaupaati for the evening. We were so prepared that we reached the place even before they opened for the night. They open at 5PM in the evening with a break fro 3 to 5. So were counting time down from our car watching that neon 'open' sign to glow.
And it did, ordered Malai Kofta curry and Mixed Vegetable curry with 4 different varieties of bread. What a feast!! both the curries were delicious and spice level felt like it was made to order. Garlic naan, bullet naan, roti, paratha - were all perfectly cooked and super soft and NOT AT ALL greasy!!
I would say this is one of the best places for Vegans as well. So many varieties of vegetarian items and breads/rice.
This place works a bit differently with respect to service (comparing other Indian restaurants). you go straight to the cashier to order the food, you get a number, you pick your water, plates, silverware, napkins, you choose a table and wait for your food. After you are done, don't go away yet with food coma - you got to remove your soiled plates and silverware and water cups and place them in the designated area.
Hmmm, sounds like I am doing 75% of the service and still have to tip them a good amount ???Well you will forget that you tipped after consuming all the deliciousness they offer. ;)
