Terrible Service, Used to Be Good
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. We arrived at 12 PM for brunch and waited 10 minutes without anyone approaching our table to offer water or menus. This was particularly surprising as we were the only customers dining in, with all other tables empty.
The waiters were observed conversing in a corner, and our initial greeting was merely hand signals directing us to our seats. Due to the lack of attention, we decided to leave. It's a shame, as it used to be a good place, but it's not the same anymore.

Disappointing Food and Service
My experience at this restaurant was largely disappointing. On our first visit, we ordered biryani, which was good in taste but excessively spicy, even for someone who enjoys spicy food. The next day, we tried the qeema naan, but it had a strange smell and taste, and the accompanying yogurt seemed off, possibly spoiled.
We had to return it and opted for chowmein, which was okay but too oily. To end the meal, we ordered paan, advertised as fresh. However, the leaf was rotten, and the paan tasted stale, frozen, and lacked the expected ingredients, containing only sweet frozen jelly and a stale leaf.
Despite ordering multiple dishes over two visits, everything was unsatisfactory. Furthermore, the staff showed no remorse or willingness to improve, seeming more concerned with avoiding refunds than addressing the issues. The overall food quality and service were poor.

Waiter Needs Improvement
My experience at this restaurant was marred by the service. There's no point in having this waiter working at the counter. They seemed to be in a very dull state of mind.
I suggest changing this aspect of the restaurant.

Consistently Great Food and Service
I’ve dined in tens of times and always enjoyed both the food and the service. Ordered delivery for the first time today and the food is A+ like it is dining in. Would recommend to all my friends.
Achari fish is my favorite.

Worst Indian Food Experience
My experience at this restaurant was the worst Indian food I've ever had in the Bay Area. After a 35-minute wait, they served a parantha that was inedible and half-cooked. I had to leave most of it.

Disappointing Paratha Experience
My experience at the restaurant was quite disappointing, primarily due to the paratha. I found it to be completely plain, lacking any stuffing or taste. The wheat paratha was notably dry, and even the sweet dahi couldn't salvage it.
Overall, the dish really lacked flavor and satisfaction.

Amazing Indian Food, Service Lacking
The food here is absolutely to die for. It's some of the best Indian food I've ever had -- I 10/10 recommend. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the service was really poor one time (the waiter forgot to come back for our entree order after we ordered our appetizers).
But I feel like the occasional poor service is pretty easy to forgive when you taste their food.

Terrible Experience: Bland Food and Poor Service
My experience at this restaurant was one of the worst I've ever had. The food was incredibly bland, lacking any taste, flavor, or salt. Even the rice wasn't fresh.
The service was also poor, with staff who didn't seem to care. I definitely do not recommend this place.

Terrible Main Course, Overpriced Groceries
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly negative, particularly concerning the main course. I ordered the keema naan and a chicken gravy dish, and both were truly pathetic. I regret not checking Google reviews beforehand, as the food was so bad I can't even explain it.
It's astonishing how such food could be served in a restaurant; it was genuinely the worst food I've ever had. While I've heard good things about their chaat menu items and hope that's true, I strongly suggest against ordering any main course menu items. Additionally, they offer Indian grocery items, but they are overpriced.

Phenomenal Authentic Indian Flavors!
My experience at Chaat Corner was phenomenal! I visited for lunch with my team, and it's clearly a favorite spot for them when they're in the US. Every dish we tried was a burst of authentic flavor, showcasing impressive freshness and perfectly balanced spice.
The dosas were exceptionally crisp, the pav bhaji rich and buttery, and the bhel puri delivered that ideal tangy crunch. It's evident the kitchen takes immense pride in their food; it's consistently vibrant and delicious. The service was both friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming.
