Chaat House

I just had dinner at Chat House and Grill, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! I ordered a mix of grilled items and traditional Pakistani food, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic, the portions were generous, and the food was served hot and fresh. The grilled meats were perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and full of smoky flavor. The Pakistani dishes reminded me of homemade meals, rich with spices and made with care. On top of that, the service was friendly and welcoming. I'm really happy with my experience and will definitely be coming back!

While visiting Orlando, we were craving some Pakistani food and stumbled upon this place. Overall, not a bad experience. We tried bun kabob and samosa chaat, and both were a bit spicy but not in a bad way. I found the place to be very reasonable and quantity was excellent for what you pay. The only thing that was a little sub-par was falooda, flavors were there, but some of the ingredients did not taste fresh. The only other nit pick would be the ambiance. The place could use a little TLC. Overall not a bad place to get some Pakistani fix.

Chaat House in Orlando is a very popular spot among locals, and for good reason—people often talk about it highly, especially for its wide variety of chaats and unique desserts. We visited recently and decided to try a mix of their offerings to get the full experience. We started with their chaats, which are a hallmark of the restaurant. We tried Papdi Chaat, Samosa Chaat, Mixed Chaat, and Pani Puri. The Papdi Chaat was crisp and refreshing, with crunchy wafers topped with spiced potatoes, tangy tamarind sauce, and yogurt—perfectly balanced between sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. The Samosa Chaat transformed the classic fried snack into a flavorful, hearty dish, with a rich potato filling, tangy chutneys, and a hint of spice. The Mixed Chaat combined different textures and flavors into one plate, making every bite slightly different and enjoyable. The Pani Puri was fun and interactive, with crispy hollow puris filled with tangy, spicy water and a soft potato filling—it’s the kind of dish that makes you smile while eating. Overall, the chaats were decent and flavorful, though not overwhelmingly spicy. The Dynamite Chicken was easily the highlight of our visit. Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside, and coated in a flavorful sauce, it had just the right balance of spice and savoriness to stand out as the star of the meal. We also tried all three types of kulfi, which were a sweet ending to our meal. Each kulfi had a unique flavor and a creamy, rich texture. They weren’t overly sweet, and the variety made it fun to try a little of everything. As for the service, it was a bit unusual. The staff seemed aloof and sometimes unsure of what was happening, which made the experience feel slightly disorganized. They weren’t unfriendly—just a little detached—but it didn’t overshadow the food. In summary, Chaat House is a local favorite for good reason. It’s a great place to explore a variety of chaats, enjoy standout dishes like the Dynamite Chicken, and finish off with flavorful, unique kulfis. While the service could be more attentive, the food, variety, and reputation among locals make it a worthwhile stop for anyone craving flavorful Indian and Pakistani street food.

I catered for an event through my school in Ramadan and Chaat House provided excellent food, quality, service, and portions. The owner takes it upon himself to make sure everything is done right. He was very patient and accommodating and gave me great menu options for a reasonable price. When I arrived to pick up the food it was all ready on time and they helped me to put it in the car. I recommend Chaat House and want to personally thank Mahmood for his service. Very impressive.

Food was fresh but takes time. Loved the Naan. Kebab was spicy. Kata kat lacked flavor

The ambiance is nice it takes you to another place, a lot of people who enjoy the food there consider it authentic cuisine Had the number 65. Perfect textured rice with marinated chicken that was cooked to perfection I recommend this dish

I always come from Tampa specially to eat lunch. I have been coming here for about two years But today I ordered this dal rice and their rice was also very hard and the dal also seemed very old. I have never seen anything bad in so long, but today I was very disappointed to see their customer service. Giving me old food and I pay for all my food

I have catered several times from chaat house and it’s always been top notch service , on time and the food is succulent and delicious . They make sure that everything is done according to your liking and preference . The owner himself supervises the dishes before being delivered to ensure the best quality. I will 100% recommend this place for eating out or for catering ,

Tried their Chinese dishes soups and entrees and their Bihari and Haleema All food was really flavorful

Fast delivery and KUDOS! I ordered Chicken Corn , Bun Kabab Sandwich , and Mint Lemonade. i also ordered the JalebbiI. The ambiance was jamming !

Had their sweets for the first time and went back the second day to buy a bigger box. The mango barfi is one of the best I've eaten. Coming from Southern CA, I saw that the restaurant itself was busy on a Friday night, bustling with many diners. Ordered Crispy Chicken off their Chinese menu and was not dissatisfied either. Flavors were good and tasty. Friendly staff and upon asking, provided their recommendations.

Excellent Food, Service and Atmosphere. Clean family friendly environment. Highly recommended.

The food was great, the value was good as well, We didn't have to interact much with the service staff but when we did they were polite and prompt. I enjoyed the environment, seeing all the different families and such seeing how welcome the community was to eating here.

The place is very basic, but the staff is very nice. The food is fresh and the sweet selection is large. I love their Matai their mango Barfi so good. And I'm not a fan of chocolate bar, but that was really good too packed well to go simple clean interior. Lots of ads and banners for local businesses, but that's expected in most ethnic restaurants.

Chaat is my go to spot few times a month they never disappoint service is always great staff is very helpful and it doesn't hurt that the food is delicious Pakistani style plenty of parking located next to Sam's and Apna Bazaar off OBT in Orlando

We visited chaat house during our FL trip after trying 2 other halal 5 star restaurants. This place surpassed both other locations in cleanliness taste service and food portion. Friendly quick service, huge menu, food tasted amazing and we were served with smile unlike other place where food was being thrown at us and prices were crazy high. Chaat house 10/10. You served travellers needs well and left a long lasting impression!! Thank you.

Chaat House and Br. Mahmood are 5 STARS all the way. We catered an iftar in Ramadan at our masjid and the food was excellent. It was delivered on-time, hot, and fresh. We ordered about 30% more than needed so that many of our guests could pack "to-go" boxes for home. Everyone was excited about the large selection of desi and chinese style entrées. Alhumdulillah a fabulous restaurant with top quality service and food.

All I can say I'm goin to give it a shot. Hey it's only food right. The restaurant it really a 2 4 1 deal. You have the choice of choosing Pakistani/Indian(Chaat) food or Chinese(Little China). I was coming for Chinese. I decided to ask one of the restaurant staff what was the food inside the display. The first time tasting one of their desserts. The decor was a little different. A lot of gold and red is evident throughout the restaurant. The service was nonchalant not to much care to help me understand but it could've been a language barrier. I can tell you I'll eat the Chinese food the Pakistani/Indian people cook any day. It was so good you would drive by others to go there

ordered Tawa gosht it had not meat all bones and gravy. gravy was delicious. ask for a manager. it took him half hour to come out. no reaction, just said will talk o the chef.

Food was ok. Service was terrible. Ambiance is gross. I'd never ever ever recommend this place to anyone. We ordered nahari and got like 2 pieces of meat. No chance this place survives much longer

Straight forward cultural food with great spice and huge flavor. Eat in or take out the food is worth the trip.

Very good food at a very reasonable price. You can get halal Chinese, asian, desi, Pakistani and indian food here. I have tried almost everything on their menu and almost everything tastes good. Customer service at the counter could be better but all servers are very nice and cooperative. All in all very good establishment and definitely recommended

This place charged me 20% tip right in front without informing me. There customer service is 0. You have to order the food at the counter, no one came to our table asking if we need anything so what are you charging me the tip for? Bathrooms were dirty. Ambiance is gross. I will never ever recommend this place to anyone. Silverware seems 100 years old. Seems this place is crooked stay away.

We've been coming here on & off for over 7 years now. The food has always been constantly flavorful. My go to dish is the Tawa chicken ( spicy, gingery, ) with enough gravy to scoop up with Naan bread. If you're looking for that authentic Indian/ Pakistani spicy flavor for a meal, look no further! This is an unassuming " hole in the wall" place that delivers. Surprisingly, menu is quite extensive. I may just venture and try the goat brains next time. Don't forget to eat & pack home made Indian dessert to go.

The one star and pic of the chaat says a lot about this place. We went in on a bit so busy Sunday afternoon, placed a simple order of two chaats, waited 20 mins to find that they took wrong order. We then waited another 20 mins and when our chaat came it was filthy with hair inside

Doesn't look like much when you walk by the place, but it's fairly big inside and with a big menu to boot. They provide Indian, Pakistani and Chinese cuisine. Was told this is a really popular place especially now during eid so we went to check it out! We ordered family style with chicken biryani, chicken 65, chili chicken and two chaat items. I would say that the chaat was okay, nothing too spectacular but the biryani and chicken 65 were to die for!! Chili chicken was a nice touch but too much oil in there. The reason I'm giving this three stars was first we were meant to pay before getting food and got hit with 15 percent service fee. Our server was very attentive to us but poor man was the only one where the other one was just sitting and chatting with the owner. I felt bad for him and as such sometimes it would be awhile before he got back to us. The dessert we ordered was really Rock solid hard when it's supposed to be nice and spongy which was a disappointment. The tables looked like picnic table and the plates looked cheap and not washed properly. Overall it's a mixed experience as some of the food was good but the Ambience and service of this place holds it back from being a truly solid restaurant. I would give this a 2.5/5 if I could but however without able to do half stars, I'll give it upwards towards the 3 for those chicken dishes.

This place definitely seems like an authentic Pakistani restaurant. My wife and I went here twice and the owner was pretty nice and engaging. We ordered the beef paya and chicken tikka masala. I will say the chicken tikka did seem a little watered down/more tomatoey flavored than what I am used to but still not the worst. The paya was amazing, definitely would recommend it. The Jalebi (sweets) was also very good! Overall, not a bad restaurant

I love this place and come regularly! It's not in the best area and is hidden off OBT in a strip plaza but the staff has always been very friendly and the food is good for a fair price. The menu options are broader than expected with a mix of options including Chaat, Chinese food, burgers etc. I come here mostly for the Chaat and tikka masala but when I've ventured out for other things it's been good too. They even have an option served in a pineapple half! The Chaat here is my favorite compared to the few times of I've tried Chaat elsewhere and it's usually pretty busy with people going in and out, which is a good sign.

Coming from New York this was amazing with the price and quality .. service is great foood is spectacular . Def would recommend I honestly ate here all my stay every day.

Good place for family and great taste. India Pakistani and fusion Chinese. Good service

Be cautious when you eat from here, there can be a roach in your food. A few weeks ago, back in March 2023 my brother and I were eating the Falooda dessert. My brother abruptly stopped eating when he noticed a dead roach inside the dessert. Roaches are linked to dangerous and deadly health consequences. Please be careful, don't gamble with your health. I heard Chaat House was forced to close in the past due to health violations. Food borne illness is a serious situation, please look twice at the food you're consuming.

service was good and food was good for price. The versatility of the menu was good as well. Although keep in mind you are ordering Chinese food from an India restaurant so don't except much it was still very nice. The Indian food was the main gig.

If you want authentic Karachi food experience then come here they have the best nihari and paya (as per my desi foody parents) !!

Got sick after eating Mixed grill here. I dont know how old the meat was but piece of beed taste so bad that after eating i got fever, big lips and upset Stomach. Never again Never

The owner just so damn rude and disrespectful Seem he don't give a damn about his customer

Didn't really wanted to write this review and probably wouldn't have written if it wasn't for the GM's demeaning attitude. I don't know how Orange County's Health Department allows this place to be in business. The lady at the front desk hated her life, when we tried to complained she handed us owner's business card and told us to call and complain. Not my style but feel like I have to Nihari: Normally a crowd favorite, watery with very little flavor. Fried Chicken: normally hard to mess up, they figured it out. Under cooked. Haleem: Decent Daal: decent Bugs all over the place, pest control non existent. Wonder what's the cleanliness in the back of the front was this bad. I guess they don't care! On top of the bad service we were forced to pay and 18% mandatory service charge for really bad service. I can pretty much guarantee that goes to owners pocket and not the crew. The only thing on point was their naan, however I wonder now how clean is their process and how many bugs we consumed.

They used to have really good all items, now it seems only selected items are good such as Dal, BBQ items, their sweets are really good. One thing you must try is Sweet and Sour chicken. Service is fast and restaurant is very clean. They have great Chaat as they are known for.

I visited this location to try the Gyro platter and got hooked on the sweet-and-sour chicken plate.

Absolutely the worst. If possible to give no or negative stars, than this would be it. We flew in from California in the morning and came across this establishment on google when searching for halal eats. Per google, they open at 10:30. We walk in around 10:32 -mind you the door to the business is already open, and after waiting at the counter for a good five minutes- we were told that we aren't open yet. We open at 11. We advised them hours posted online and were told that it was incorrect. Ok fine. We leave and come back at 11:00 and the door again is still open already. Once again after standing at the counter for a few minutes, we are told that we aren't open till another 10 minute. Wth?! Okay fine! We ask if we can sit and order once they open. They said ok... while we are waiting ever so patiently, a group of men walk in - and obviously they are acquainted and in less than 10 minutes their order taken and seated!!! Then the man disappears yet again! We waited maybe a few more minute till we got completely frustrated and left. If visiting this area, I strongly recommend seeking another halal establishment. I don't care how good the food is, if you do not respect your costumers and their time, you will not get my business- ever! We actually ended up Kabsah, which is in the same plaza and were pleasantly greeted as soon as we walked in and ordered with no issues at all.

Although the service is non-existent and the owner is constantly around, the chaat was so much better than we anticipated it to be! Truly and authentically Pakistani chaat! Highly recommend going here if you solely care about the food and not the service. If you enjoy spicy food like myself, ask to make the food "desi" spicy.

I've been coming to this place for almost a decade for their amazing biryani, chili chicken, sesame chicken, and falooda. Serving sizes are huge too. Their chaat is terrible and I prefer my food to go because the interior and ambiance aren't great.

This place is horrible! We had recently ordered from chaat house, just as we sat down to eat, in my butter chicken curry, I found a piece of a ceramic tile!!!! We could not believe our eyes! we reached out to speak to their manager and they said they are out of town! Horrible service and unsanitary place! Imagine if a child had eaten this piece of tile!!! I would advise anyone going to this place to think twice!

Opening time is 11am. Every Day ! Best desk place Halwa Puri is good. Bihari Chicken - Haleem are recommended

Whenever we stop in to Orlando we always stop in to the chart house. Food is great flavors are home made fresh.

Unfortunately, our delivery was not as good as the food I remember sitting down to at this restaurant, but the chili garlic fried rice is probably the best fried rice that I have had in a long time, the fried rice filled the bill, flavorful and spicy. We also ordered paneer manchurian, potato samosa, garlic naan and orange chicken. As mentioned above, we loved the spicy fried rice, the samosas were tasty and the garlic naan was all very good. The paneer manchurian had a nice sauce, but the paneer was more like little pieces of rubber, very tough and the orange chicken was the same, the chicken was rubbery, over battered and highly sauced. We have visited Chaat House several times before and plan to patronize them again once life gets back to normal.

Good place for family and great taste. India Pakistani and fusion Chinese. Good service

OK I don't expect anything fancy or amazing Customer Service. Ambience is super casual. But it's good traditional Pakistani food with lots of flavor. We always stop by here when we're on vacation in Orlando. Nihari, Halim biryani and their Chinese are all delicious. If you want dessert definitely try their faluda. Chai is perfect!

I decided to try this place because it's just around the corner from office. Too bad I didn't read Yelp first!! I placed my order for beef with broccoli at 12:06 pm and was told to check back in 25 minutes. There were 2 tables of 2 people each when I ordered. I waited FORTY FIVE MINUTES and finally said just give me a refund. The owner said it's been ready. I asked why the let me sit there. The owner got a shifty attitude and asked how we're we supposed to know? Maybe bc I am the only one sitting at q table for 45 minutes with NO FOOD? The staff there are rude. The owner needs to be smacked. I will never go back. Thanks for wasting my lunch hour. I hope this place closes. STAY AWAY. If you are crazy enough to go here after reading the reviews, avoid the egg drop soup. Great Value soup would be better.

The worst service you will ever receive. Food has low quality taste, Ramen noodles would've tasted better. Will never go back. There's a reason why you pay for the meal right when you order (instead of receiving the bill at the end) and not surprised tip was included before services were rendered. Felt I was scammed.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. The owner is extremely rude, I made a reservation for a family of 28 people on 12/25 at 6:30pm. When my family showed up for our dinner, he told us he couldn't serve us. Simply said that he gave our spot up and was not going to seat us. If you are visiting Orlando, I highly recommend not eating here. I will never be back.

I don't normally write reviews The chinese food and chaat is good other than that its garbage the haves a major attitude problem don't believe me try it your self The keema naan is $4 and has no keema look at my pic below its a rip off

Good food and service available at chaat house. A must go place. The location is pretty good to. Close to Disney.

While the food was plenty for the price , it would be better with more depth in the flavor. The service was good with the people quickly coming to help. The ambiance isn't the greatest so it can be improved upon. Overall its a decent restaurant and I would go again.

For me customer service is ver important. If online it say you close at 10pm. Then you should take order at 9:30pm , it doesn't matter to customer that your kitchen close at 9:30. I heard from Yelp food is good. So I thought it was good . We were on vocation in Florida. We were hungry too, so we decided to go there . The receptionist was very rude. I told her that we are visitor but she says kitchen is closed . Come on show little curiosity talk in human way. Our experience was very bad.

First time coming here, I was really here for a sweet 16 and just decided to drop in. I'm really not used to Middle Eastern food so it was probably best that I didn't gamble with my stomach. The last thing I wanted to do was be at a sweet 16 with an uncomfortable feeling. So I decided to go with something that I'm used to which is the Gyro and french fries. The french fries were perfect. Crinkle cut, nice and crispy and hot. The gyro was pretty good as well , The service wasn't bad at all either. I realize they hire Latinas which I have no problem with, they were nice and respectful. If I were to come back again, I would be still cautious because again the last thing you want is to be on the road with a upset stomach.

Ok. Food ....V. Bad Service. They rushed us through the whole process. This place was suppose to close at 10 30pm and we arrived there at 9 20pm. They kept on telling us that if we dont finish ordering our food before 9 30pm they will not take the order. I am not going there again.

Extremely slow service. Waiters gave me my food as slow as a snail. They forgot to bring me a dish and food was extremely bad. Food quantity was very little for the price. Food was very bland. Homeless guy randomly walked in and started asking everyone for money. Horrible restaurant, do not recommend.
