We ordered chai and vada pav. The masala chai was excellent and the quantity was a lot. The vada pav were very tasty. The chutney served were good too. Staff is polite. Menu is extensive with many vegetarian options.

As the name suggests, a really good selection of chaat that all tastes great! Would recommend the pani puri and paneer pokora, and it’s got a nifty side mart as well!

Great tasting food, good ambiance & inattentive desi style waitresses, who got mirchi pakora instead of chicken pakora order, which turns out to be good as well. But she covered it up well with a desi twist reason, that both items are next to each other and she pressed the incorrect one! All in all good experience

Chat corner is no frills indian fare I had the dinner combo which at 47$ is a ton of food. -The sabzi(mixed veg) was aloo bhindi and was home style albiet a little oily. -The goat curries were great. Garlic naan was ok -The mixed daal again seemed home style and was on the lighter side. Not heavy cream like daal makhani. If you are lazy to go to south bay this is a great option in SF. The groceries have high markup. Beware a 3% card surcharge. Take cash if you want to avoid it. A solid late night option for sure. Photos are from a second visit. Mutton biryani, chicken chowmien, chilli chicken, naan, daal.

I’ve been to this place about 3x but it’s been a span over a few years. I went here with a coworker the other day. I saw this dish from another table and was intrigued. Thankfully, there was a picture of it in the menu! I found out that the dish was the Pani Puri which comes with a sauce you pour over the circular crispy shells. I can’t handle spicy so the waitress recommended the Dahi Batata Sev Puri. She said that was mild spicy. Needless to say, mild was spicy to me. I had to drink water. It’s very saucy as well. I would recommend eating this with rice. Even though it was spicy to me, it was still good. I recommend this dish! I’ve ordered from here a few months ago and the naan bread was so good! This place has great Indian food. Depending on time of day you come, metered street parking is a hit or miss. There is a parking garage right next to the restaurant on 3rd street as well. I would not come here if there’s a convention at Moscone because it will be packed. The place has plenty of seating, good ambiance, and mild noise. I highly recommend this place if you’re craving for Indian food.

Awesome Indian food options. You ask and they have it. They also do little modifications in their preparation to suit their customers. Their customer service is too good. Very polite but friendly understanding and wants to serve food to our tastes. Whether it’s Nisha or Karan or Kumasi or even Sahiba or sabeena . All of them are very good and because active I would want to go again. Frankly speaking their masala dosa was very good but sambhar was little sweet. Vada pav was good but again bread on the sweeter side. Palak patta chaat was good. Chola bhatura was okey. Their quantity is a large portion so check before you order But I loved chaat corner because of the staff Thankyou guys for giving me a great memory. Also they run an Indian grocery store by the restaurant. It has lots of of Indian groceries
