Chaat Ka Chaska — Restaurant in Punjab

Previous Experience During my last visit, the experience was notably more welcoming. I had rated the place 5/5 due to its perfect ambiance and hospitality.

Pros Palak Chaat: This dish was exceptional, earning a solid 5/5. Pao Bhaji: Also quite good, deserving a 4/5.

Cons Pani Puri Incident: Unfortunately, I found a hair in my pani puri. When I informed the server, he denied it could happen and suggested the hair came from the air. Despite this, they still charged me for the dish, which I reluctantly paid for.

Hygiene Issues: There were numerous flies in the dining area. When I raised this concern, I was told that the upper ground area is for packing. This explanation did not justify why there were tables and chairs in that area.

Overall Impression This visit was quite disappointing compared to my first. The service and hygiene standards have noticeably declined.

Recommendation For those considering dining here, I suggest ordering through Zomato to avail a ₹100 discount, which the restaurant does not offer for...

During my recent trip to Pathankot, I visited Chat Ka Chaska, a pure vegetarian restaurant offering a wide variety of dishes. We ordered a mix of momos, cold coffee, French fries, idli, and raj kachori chaat—everything was quite good, and we were happy with both the food and service. So much so, that we decided to order dinner to take along on our train journey that night.

Unfortunately, that’s where things went downhill. We ordered idli and noodles for dinner, but when we received the packing, we were extremely disappointed. The idlis were half-baked and uncooked, making them completely unusable. The noodles were decent, but the biggest issue was the lack of basic essentials—no cutlery, no napkins, no plates. We had no choice but to eat the noodles with our hands, which was frustrating. Will never recommend anyone to get the food packed from here for...

I recently ordered two pastas from this restaurant – one with pink sauce and the other with white sauce. Unfortunately, the white sauce pasta was extremely dry, with barely any sauce, which made it quite disappointing.

After I shared my honest review on Zomato, the restaurant contacted me and asked me to delete the review first before they would attempt to rectify the issue. This approach is unprofessional and concerning. If a restaurant truly cares about customer satisfaction, they should address concerns regardless of whether a review is posted.

Reviews are meant to reflect genuine customer experiences and should not be manipulated or forced. If you expect consistent quality and customer respect, I would not recommend ordering from...
