I have been patronizing Chaat Kafe for many years now. It is by far one of the best Indian restaurants in the Natomas Area. The food is always very fresh and authentic.The service is typically the same family staff. I love how they cater to all patronizing customers. Aman is one of their exceptional staff; he is patient, explains the menu very well to non-Indian customers. I saw him first hand service an elderly woman in her eights find the best meal choice and she was well served. He displays over and above customer service, exceeding the norm. That is why I gave my five star review.The ambiance is calm, and pleasant during the midday rush. The tv's are on playing Punjabi music. Always nice to stop in.One of my favorites

This is a simple place, no fancy ambience or setting but definitely good food and best service. My favorite dishes from North Indian cuisine are rajma and rice, kadhi pakora and rich, daal tadka and rice, and choley bhaturey. This has been my go to place for these dishes, if you find me at this place you will see me ordering at least couple of these things, which they really make very well. The only thing I will change is the amount of oil they add, but hey it can be one of those guilty pleasures :) Definitely recommend this places. They serve in paper plates, like I said, this place is basic but you will love the food to your heart content.

We come here for the lunch specials. The food is good with large portions. The service is fast and efficient. The only negative in the service is that they charge extra if you want an extra container of chutney.I have never eaten in the restaurant, but there is plenty of seating. It does get busy during lunch hour on weekdays. Don't forget to check in Yelp for a 10% discount!

I would give this place 4 stars but they are SUPER stingy with their chutney. We order two entrees and only given 2 little tiny containers of chutney and we had to BEG for it. One time we ordered a chicken wrap and the wrap is huge but they wouldn't give us any chutney and was going to charge us for it. It's a bit ridiculous. I don't understand places that are so stingy like this. The food itself is good. We usually get the chicken wrap or the chicken plate. The potato salad and cucumber salad are both good! Not sure if I would return though because they stingy.

Food and service both are excellent here. We had chhole bhature and paneer tikka wrap. I'm amazed they make fresh Chai with each order! Definitely coming back to try other dishes the next time we're visiting Sacramento from the Bay Area!

All their food was soooo delicious! I was initially recommended by my friend to try papri chaat. I came here previously to try both their papri chaat and aloo tikki chaat and really enjoyed both! I preferred the aloo tikki chaat more as the papri chaat was too sweet for my liking. This time, we ordered the samosa chaat and this was so good! The chopped samosa went so well with garbanzo beans, chutney, yogurt, herbs and spices! Soft yet so flavorful! We also ordered their butter paneer and paneer tikka masala. Both were so delicious and came with either rice or naan. We ordered a side of garlic naan as well. This garlic naan was spectacular - perfect thickness, texture, and seasoning! It went so well with our entrees! My favorite entree was definitely the paneer tikka masala and I will be back for it! It was seasoned perfectly and was soo creamy! Lastly, we ordered their paneer wrap which was also delicious! Everything in the wrap was so fresh and well prepared. Their wraps come with either a mixed greens or cucumber salad and we were so glad we opted for the cucumber as it was tangy and refreshing! Their menu is extremely vegetarian friendly and I can't wait to try their other vegetarian dishes in the future!

Love the curry. DELICIOUS!5/5 stars. Saag Chicken $14.25+The comfort food of Punjab. Slow cooked spinach and mustard greens with fresh ginger and garlic with boneless chicken. - Juicy chicken and love this flavorful light-spicy gingerryyy curry!

My friends and I were craving chaat food and found this place on Yelp! We ordered the pani puri, samosa chaat, saag paneer, and garlic naan to share. I asked if they could do Dahi puri but we were told the panj puri comes with Dahi (yogurt) in the filling so we just ordered that! It was great and a wonderful cold app to start with. The samosa chaat was warm and super filling. It was a little sweeter than I expected bc of the red chutney, so if you want it spicy, I'd recommend asking for more green chutney We ordered the garlic naan and saag paneer for our main. The portion was a little smaller than expected but the dish itself was good! It definitely could have been a little more flavorful but I still enjoyed it. The garlic naan was great Overall, we had a great experience here and would definitely come back!

This is our favorite Indian restaurant to get takeout from! Always hot, fresh, flavorful, and packaged So thoughtfully well! The last two times we ordered the family meal dinner from here, and it is a great deal. You get to choose two curry dinners, and 4 samosa or 4 aloo tikki (or half/half). We ordered two of our favs, butter chicken and saag paneer.We are a family of two, so we always have lots of leftovers that I enjoy for breakfast the next day. lol I'll usually pop the samosa in the air fryer to reheat, and microwave the lentils to have with it. There's never leftover butter chicken or saag paneer though haha it's so good! but seriously, the family meal could feed a family of four for under $50! Chaat Kafe never disappoints!

The food here is amazing. When I walked in I knew it was going to be good because the smells coming from the kitchen made me even more hungry. I've never sat down to eat. I always pick up my food. They get me in and out and the restaurant looks pretty clean.
