Chatpatta Corner — Restaurant in Fremont

If you love or want to experience truly authentic flavors of Delhi/North Indian chaat in the Bay Area, look no further than Chatpat chaat corner. Family owned by two sisters , they’ve held their consistency in flavors and recipes for over 25 years. Back in the day I remember lining up at Dana bazaar for an hour to get a turn only available on weekends. Then they opened up this place and it became more convenient to get a fix of chaat on any day as long as one drives to Ardenwood. The sweet chutney , pani poori, Dahi papdi, all are to die for if you are a true officianado. Last ate there on a lazy Friday afternoon in may 2023 and the flavor remains the same as 20 -23 years before that. Reading some other reviews, why anyone would go there for anything but chaat is a mystery to me. Equally I don’t expect the experience or ambience any better then what I’m used to in the homeland. You grab a bestie, enjoy a few giggles as aunty serves you pani Poori faster then you can eat… then eat another chaat cuz you must … then have chai or Maza to put out the flames of the prior two 🔥 and then you pay and scoot. That’s what you are supposed to do at a chaat place! If you want to get yourself some sweet- spicy- hot-cold- soft- crispy combination of mouth Grenada , I promise you will not be disappointed. However If you want to hang with family / friends over a great Indian meal and wonderful ambiance , there are obviously many more options you may consider. If you are also the types to calculate best value and go for the cheapest options then I have not done that price survey either…. I’m simply a lover of chaat— the flavors the quality and I also don’t like getting sick from it next day! And I can tell you for last 25 yrs this is the only place in Bay Area that comes even close to the original stuff in the homeland while being high quality.…( actually...

Great Food, no concept of customer service. The two sisters of Dana Baazar fame. Bring delicious authentic flavors with quality. They aren’t cheap which is ok. But for years I have been tolerating the lack of basic bed side manners for customers. Once I witnessed someone being pawned off someone else’s order and yelled at for that. Other instances people have complained about rancid flavors. I would usually shrug it off thinking bad experiences are part of businesses. Until it happened to me multiple times. During Covid the business is open only for take out. They take Cash only. They take a long time to prepare the food, and when you ask you get a earful about how fresh food takes time etc. to be honest I doubt that the food really prepared every time from scratch.

While placing the order double check your order the, on multiple occasions a few things were missed from my original order and later I was told that I would have missed placing the order!!

When collecting order please check the bags for your order because multiple times I have been handed over someone else’s bags or charged more for something. It is not easy to do that because you get to interact with the lady through a small window, she comes to you with bags prepared so it’s not like you can do anything about what she gave expect confront her, as on the phone she is will always frame it such that it is your fault.

After multiple such interactions that leave a bad taste I figured the flavors are good but not that great that I keep going back to them and continue to get insulted by the ladies. I would have like to support businesses run by the elderly but sadly I cannot take the disregard the yelling anymore. Adios chatapatta corner. I am not giving you my business or recommending...

I’m one of those Westerners who completely fell in love with chaat through the magic of pani puri. The explosion of flavors and textures through something so tiny!!

I used to really favor the pani puri from Go Chaatz in Fremont, but after getting an order of pani puri at Chatpatta yesterday - at the counter - that was an experience that made them my new favorite. The chutneys were all delicious and the puris were nice and crunchy and tasted fresh. It was awesome having the counter aunty serve them up in the more traditional way, and honestly, it made me want to get another order. Only con that my friends pointed out: the pani puri pani was a little too cold; could’ve been more room temp to bring out the flavor more.

Other things we got: Khasta kachori with aloo sabzi: the aloo sabzi was delicious and was fairly luxurious with the ghee Raj kachori: my friend who had a massive craving for this said it wasn’t a raj kachori to him... but I thought it was delicious anyway. The kachori was a little hard to break though, and the chutneys...
