First time trying Chaska out, good to see a halal place in Peterborough and we haveto say we were pleasantly surprised. Most Indian franchises dull down the authenticity and flavors, but every item we ordered tasted better than traditional home made, we ordered the Phav Bhaji, Bhel Chaat, Lamb Khati Roll, Chicken Khati Roll, Lamb Rice Bowl, Brownie Samosa and the Chai and Royal Milkshakes. Spice level was just right, had a good kick for our indian palettes, flavors were on point, huge portion for the price, fresh - literally made infront of you, and quality of the fresh ingredients were amazing. The milkshakes were Creamy and Super Rich, we felt the Brownie Samosa were a bit heavy on the cardamom but perfectly made none the less and a fun twist on brownies. This place is staying true to its roots. The stars of this place were the staff though. Sarab and Sumi were hustling and running around cooking for dine ins, takeouts and still had smiles on their faces while asking each customer how they liked the food even with it being a busy night. We loved it so much we even got more food to take home. Owner please take note of these two superstars, it's tough to find dedicated staff these days who can keep the quality of the food high while cooking, making sure the food looks great with garnishes, taking orders and interacting with patrons like these two did. Great food, great staff, 5/5 Would gladly drive the two hours again for...

I would like to share that me as a food enthusiast, yesterday i was able to have my lunch from this Restaurant known as"CHASKA"in Peterborough, where i was able to feel my home back country Indian taste. And in this way, for my lunch i ordered a food item known as "samoosa chaat " and "Butter chicken big bowl " from this Shop which was "Awesome". And after having my food I was able to know that my food was served and prepared by a mam known as BINDHU, who provides the real taste of Indian food to every customers through her service.
Inaddition, I was also able to meet a Person known as AKASH from Chaska, who is so good at welcoming and explainning the tastness and different flavours of Indian Foods like A to Z, which was so helpfull for me as a Customer on that day. Thanks a Lot.
Moreover, I would like to share that through all the services which i got yesterday i was able to understand that with how much dedication and with great quality is that MAM and SIR and CHASKA Team provided my food on yesterday and also to every customers who comes to CHASKA Restaurent.

And I am so proud and happy to have an indian Restaurent like" CHASKA" in...
Read moreI have had good samosas from this place before and took a friend to eat there.
As soon as we got in the door, they informed us that the payment device was not working, and we would have to order online although we were eating in. No problem.
I placed an order for samosas for my friend and a samosa chat (a dish with samosa, chickpea curry and yogurt) for myself. After placing the order, I let the server know and she looked up the order.
Looking at the order, she told me that there was no chickpea curry (Channa), and I should order poutine instead. I didn’t go to an Indian place for poutine, so I said that I could order something else instead, to which she suggested another dish - that was also supposed to have chickpea curry… I said that and she said it was fine.
Why on earth she couldn’t have told me all of this BEFORE I placed an online order and was stuck there, was a mystery. I mean - also, it is a staple part of many of the dishes - and why can’t you just make more anyway? Surely you knew you would run out?! I worked in an Indian restaurant for years - that just wouldn’t happen - it was barely noon… Anyway, my dish came, and was absolutely horrible - the Papri chat - the chunks of whatever it was were still half frozen - grainy like they hadn’t been reheated from frozen, and it was horrendous.
Bad service, bad food, and ridiculous organization. Never going...
