Yesterday, I did go for lunch with my husband and we ordered garlic paneer chilli with stuffed kulcha, bhel thali with chaas and parantha. Thali items were all cold except for the parantha in it. The taste of thali was all bland with no salt and spices. Garlic chilli paneer pieces were so big for a bite (ice cube shaped) and also it was cold inside. Kulcha, parantha and chaas were the only items I liked. Chaat Bhavan used to have good quality and tasty food couple of years ago but now the quality, taste is really gone down.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Service was very slow despite the restaurant not being too crowded, and the waiters were just talking to each other instead of even giving us the menu first thing. I got the house thali, as well as methi chaman paneer with pesto naan (a monthly special). The pesto naan was pretty good but the paneer which gave me high expectations let me down due to the small paneer pieces. Thali was decent as well. I do think the food could’ve been heated more as it was just warm and not hot enough.

We had lunch here today. We were in a time crunch and informed that to our server upfront. He made recommendations for what would arrive quick. Service was great. Good came quickly and was fresh and yummy. Even though everything was served quickly, didn’t feel they compromised on the quality. I accidentally forgot my handbag under the chair and only realized it after a while when I had left. Called the restaurant and they had stowed it away safely. I was only able to come back after 3 hours to collect the bag- all my stuff in the bag- cash/ wallet/ cards were intact. Really appreciated that .
