As one of the hardest restaurants to book in town, we waited two months for a dinner at this Michelin ⭐️ star Indian restaurant Chaat. We couldn’t tell how excited we were after making the booking successfully but ended up feeling a bit disappointed especially after having a great experience at the other two Indian restaurants - New Punjab and Chutney..We ordered all the small plates from the menu but to be honest, they tasted quite similar.

🥂Baked Jackfruit Samosa $168
An iconic dish that considered a must order item, the exterior was very crispy but the yogurt sauce was too strong that you couldn’t really taste what’s inside.
🥂Raj Kachori $128
You have to cut it out and mixed everything together. There’s crispy lentil inside and the sour and sweet taste together was quite nice.
🥂Sweet Potato Chaat $108
Pomegranate, tamarind, coriander and sweet potato mixed like a salad. Very refreshing and appetising but not very impressive.
🥂Penicillin $170
Even the cocktail I had and my friend’s mango lassi were meh. Could find a better drink in many other bars or restaurants.
🥂Welcome Snack
If their appetizers were considered up to standard, their mains were mediocre. We really regretted on adding an extra piece of meat for both mains.
🥂Tandoori Wagyu Beef Cheek $328/3pcs
It was very tender but soft to a point that it tasted like it went boiling for so long. The beef flavour was missing so the Hung yoghurt on the side helped to enrich the flavour but all I could taste was the yoghurt and a piece of bland meat only.
🥂Lamb Chop $458/3pcs
They were huge but I wouldn’t give a bonus point for it. The first bite took me 10min to swallow as it was so hard to chew. We ended up leaving half of this on the table as it required too much of our jaw work.
🥂Salem Fish Curry $298
We were so glad that we finally had some delicious food. The fish was silky and the curry flavour was just right and paired well with the naans we ordered.
🥂Garlic Nann $88
🥂Black Truffle & Chilli Cheese Naan
Delicious naans, very soft and served pipping hot.
🥂Chocolate Praline Nann $108
Loved the combination of this - coconut icecream, mixed nuts and cream complemented each other very well. It’s the second dish that made us happy.
🥂Mango Kulfi $80
Mango and icecream were nice but tasted a little awkward with the noodles under.
I don’t think I will revisit again after all. I’m not sure how Indian street food should taste like but those we had here definitely didn’t please me.
