The menu is comprised of lots of different forms of chaat (street food from all over India. I hesitate to call it Indian tapas, but it's a reasonable comparison. Jay (sp? , the owner, explained all the various menu offerings and, after picking out a couple dishes ourselves, we put ourselves in his capable hands and worked our way through the menu. Every single dish was delicious. The outstanding food was enhanced by Jay's descriptions and explanations. He's a passionate ambassador. If you like Indian food but are sick of ordinary or just want to try something new, make Chaatwala your next culinary destination.

There is a game room to go to while you wait for your food which was a very cool touch. I celebrated my birthday here at the end of January and the owner brought out the cake my family brought for me with candles on it. He also gave us extra dessert on the house and played a happy birthday song on the speakers. It was a great moment and I 'm so glad I celebrated at Chaatwala!!!!
