Chotu Indian Street Food

Update (in response to the owner): Your reply to my genuine review clearly states your mindset of being a cash grab rather than actually caring about customers' interest. I don't mind paying more for the food as long as it is worth the value. When I said it is not cheap, I was clearly stating that the quality doesn't justify the price - does that make sense to you? No, it won't because you are busy serving packed food to customers who have very little Indian food options nearby. I am pretty sure there are self aware customers out there who look for genuine reviews like mine and would not fall the quality of food being served here and the arrogance being shown by the owner. I wish to support Indian businesses but there has to be some value to it. Cheers!! ----- I wouldn't recommend the food here unless you are fine with packed food being heated and served. Only plus point seems to be that it is closer to the beach and can serve those craving Indian food (not entirely though). We got Pav bhaji, chicken curry with naan and samosa plate. All of them were packed food, just heat and serve. It may be fine if it tastes good but it wasn't good at all. Pricey for the quality. It is inside a food court so you might as well explore other options. Sit outside to avoid the oil-fumed air inside. Parking is paid on street. Cheers!!

One of the finest Indian restaurants, offering great value for money. Initially, it was a bit difficult to find. Actually, the sign should read: ‘Chotu Indian Street Food – Inside Lincoln Eatery.’ Otherwise, we experienced excellent customer service from the two brothers and enjoyed the great taste of the food. If you are around Deco Art Street, you should definitely visit for authentic Indian cuisine. Highly recommended!

Tried Chotu near Miami Beach and honestly… so worth the wait. We waited around 40 mins but the food made us forget all about it. Proper North Indian street food vibes. The bhel puri was super fresh, crunchy, and perfectly tangy. The Chotu special chicken was a total winner, full of flavor and spice, no compromise. Chicken kati roll was packed and juicy, exactly how it should be. The paneer butter masala thali tasted comforting and rich, just like back home. Everything felt authentic, not toned down for taste. If you love real North Indian style food, this place hits the spot. Big thanks to the Chotu team for the amazing food and experience. Will definitely be back.

We ordered paneer bhurji, naan, and vada pav. The paneer bhurji was basically an onion curry with barely any paneer and tasted like plain tomato purée with no salt.I honestly don’t know from which angle this dish was supposed to look like paneer bhurji. The naan was clearly frozen. The vada pav was just okay at best. Portions were small and absolutely not worth the prices they charge.

Tried their samosas today and they were absolutely delicious and full of flavor! 😍 I’ve been looking for a good chai for a while now, not just the usual overly sweet ones, and their chai is perfect — balanced, aromatic, and so comforting. They also offer different kinds of street food, which makes it a great spot if you love trying new snacks. Big thanks to Samyak for the amazing service — super friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back! 🙌

The food quality was good but it was little pricey for the quantity. The rice turned little crispy because it’s overheated.But there is no other choice for Indian food here… The samosa was so good tbh

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked—every bite was delicious. The location is very convenient and clean, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal comfortably. What truly made this place special was the manager. He was extremely friendly, welcoming, and professional. He checked on us, made sure everything was perfect, and created such a positive atmosphere. You can really tell he cares about customers and runs the place with heart. Highly recommend this restaurant for great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Located inside the Lincoln eatery. We ordered veg thali, chicken kati roll, bombay sandwich. The veg thali came with rice, 1 chapati, chole/chana masala, gulab jamun and samosa, and Dal. Veg Thali overall good but the Dal within it was even better. Chicken roll was tasty and spicy as they added green chillies. Disappointed with Bombay sandwhich. But overall if you are visiting south beach and crave Indian food. Please do give it a try.

Honestly, from another table we should have ordered vada pau. It was on the tip of my tongue but instead we ordered pani puri and samosa chat. Not they the items were not good. Both were good portions and tasty. The place is located in what appears to be a decent size indoor food court. It has about 5-6 places with different food selections. It even has a bar! Going back to our order. Good portions good taste and we enjoyed them both.

I had aloo tikki which was flavorful but the sauce was really watered down. My friend ordered paneer kathi roll and said it was very good. The business shares space with Shocolates and we got to try Dubai chocolate which was good too. We went Saturday evening but the place wasn't busy. Street parking was easy to get.

I was craving a small treat, and I tried this place in Miami Beach, my favorite Veggie Samosa. It was packed with the perfect touch of Indian spices. It was served with Tamarind Chutney & Coriander Chutney. Can't wait to go back to try the larger platters.

What a cool concept. This cool space offers several eateries inside one place. I love this concept as everyone can suit themselves and order what type of food they want, yet still hang out in the same spot. The inside has lots of different areas to chill out in. This eatery is located very close to the Lincoln road. My son and I tried a mango lassi, which was nice and not over sweet. We ordered two thali, one with chicken tikka and one with a shrimp curry. The portions were substantial, and everything was piping hot and fresh. We enjoyed it all. We also sampled a street food inspired appetizer which was interesting. I recommend and would definitely dine her again. The service was fast and friendly.

We got a platter+garlic naan, it's enough for a decent size snack for two people which was great because we weren't starving. The platter was ok, nothing ground breaking, but the garlic naan was below average from what I had at other places.

While in South Beach, my kids were craving butter chicken and naan--and Chotu absolutely delivered. The butter chicken was rich, flavorful, and comforting, and the naan was soft and fresh out of the oven. Portions were generous, and the flavors hit the spot. A great find for authentic Indian street food in the heart of Miami. We'll definitely be back!

This is located in a food court area. I ordered samosas. They only had a couple items available from their menu. The service was slower than expected. They had barely any other customers. The samosas tasted good and were served with green chutney and tamarind chutney.

I got the butter paneer with naan, it also came with a side of pickles and onions/cucumbers. The curry was flavorful with a rich tomato masala taste. My only complaint is that I didn't realize it wouldn't come with rice. Food took awhile but that's fine, they gave me a beeper.

Checked this place out to grab something to go since I was in the area. It's located towards the end in the Lincoln Eatery. I was helped out by a nice dude who had some tattoos. Mentioning this since we had some small talk about tattoos as I was bandaged up in my arm due to having a fresh tattoo. It's a knife tattoo and I'm mentioning it since the drawing he put on my go to bag is relevant. Anyway, I got Garlic Naan and chicken tikka misala. It's kind of my go to for indian. Food took maybe about 10 mins to be ready from order and the bag I got had the name place, the name I gave for my order and a cute little drawing of a knife in homage of my tattoo. As for the food itself, it was delicious. It came with a bit of side of rice and some sauce I don't know (but it was good and midly spicy) as well as what looked like chickpeas. Overall the food was delicious. I got full maybe halfway through but I still finished it cause 1) I'm a fatty and 2) it was that good. Highly recommended. Side note all the places in Lincoln Eatery give discount for working somewhere nearby. Just FYI.

It's so hard to find amazing Indian food in miami (resident for 10+ years) but this place is IT!! I definitely would recommend the platter option, it was like an adventure on a plate with a samosa appetizer, a lentil soup, a main course (I got the spicy chicken) and a melt in your mouth dessert that's like a condensed milk and honey doughnut hole. Each course was somehow better than the last and was like a delicious journey. I will be back

This place is in a food hall and the food was amazing they make all infront of you and all is fresh once they are out they are out of an item we had Panner bhurji, Pani puri, fresh and well done roti

Very slow service and I saw the Indian guy at the counter finish his lunch, wash his mouth and spit into the sink by the kitchen before beginning to serve me. He was also slow to understand what I was asking for and tried to discourage me from getting the curry that was included in my platter. The roti was sweet and the saag was spoilt. This place must be banned

Located in the Lincoln eatery food hall. You can't help but smell the aroma and suddenly you are hungry. I wasn't that hungry but took the suggestion of ordering the samosa chaat a popular street food. Omg the salty sweet and spicy flavors of the dish keeps you wanting more. It was so delicious. I had the pleasure of speaking with the owner and found out this was his new concept. If you love Indian food and want the casual vibe then this is your place to try.

Rare good Indian food on the Beach, and it's more than street food. I hope that the Lincoln Eatery is a successful location for them. Hard-working staff, clean area, efficient

Just go! Awesome team and healthy food options in a nice food hall location. love to support such a nice, small restaurant. We will be back.

Flavor of the tikka masala sauce was lacking and $6 for one piece of chewy naan... yikes.

Excellent food near ocean drive in Miami. My husband and myself enjoyed it. It's inside the mall and the service was good.

Mediocre food.... Pricey for amount provided... place is a bit hard to find. Quick service

The food was great. It was fresh,tasty and delicious. Even the kids loved it. The only con was that the service was a little slow. We especially liked the vada pao and the paneer Kati roll.

Visted Chotu Indian food place.Tried the samosa chat, shrimp curry, butter chicken and chicken rolls. Everything we ate was authentic Indian food which is hard to find in Miami. Service was excellent with a nice vibe. Highly recommended!

Food was ok, not that great, but portion size to price was NOT an equal ratio. Ambiance, well, it was in Lincoln Eatery, but ambiance was pretty good. Service was the reason of loss of 4 stars on this review, because it was horrible. For people who know what a Vada Pav is and how easy it is to make, it took an HOUR to make one Vada Pav. Order placed at 7:26, vada pav received at 8:23. All our other food has come, just one vada pav... If you come, don't order for a vada pav, all I'm saying.

Outstanding Indian food. We tried their Indian Thali last night and it was as authentic as it gets. The Dal and Chana was outstanding. The Paneer tikka gravy was perfect. I wish the paneer was a little softer. I was surprised to find such authentic tasting Indian food. It's located at a food court which has a lot of other cuisines too. The portion size is awesome too. Strongly recommend this place

The food is soooo good! I'm obsessed!!! I eat here several times per week for 3 consecutive weeks! They also have amazing customer service!!

Outstanding food! Even tho they are located in a food hall the ambiance and service is impeccable. Thalis although a bit pricey a bang for your buck! Why go anywhere else that'll give you a curry and rice for $45 when you get all india has to offer at chotu! Don't waste your time anywhere else! I heard they are opening all around Miami. Can't wait to try them all!!!
