Toronto Chaatwala

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great spot for Indian fast food! Visited Toronto Chaatwala recently and had a wonderful experience. The staff was super friendly, very welcoming, and the food service was impressively fast. The place is clean, with a washroom available for customers, which is always a plus. There’s also plenty of parking nearby, and it's conveniently located close to the TTC subway. Highly recommended for anyone craving quick and tasty Indian snacks! Make sure to try the Indian Tea – it's a must!

I ordered pav bhaji from Chaatwala, and honestly, it didn’t taste anything like pav bhaji. It was more like a plain vegetable curry with some mashed potatoes and tomatoes, and it was completely lacking the authentic pav bhaji flavor. The packaging was also disappointing; it didn’t reflect the standards of a downtown Toronto restaurant at all. The container wasn’t sealed properly—only the tea was sealed. There were even leaks and bits of gravy outside the container. Overall, they really need to improve both their flavor and their packaging standards. This isn’t the kind of experience I’d expect from a downtown restaurant.

Reminded me home and mom’s chole bhature hands down one of the best Indian restaurants in downtown toronto, a small menu but everything is a banger! The service is amazing the lady is so kind in the front. This is the first Indian restaurant where it actually doesn’t smell like curry when you enter it but the aromatic incense that you feel so calm before the devouring food gets presented. I am not bluffing but the vada pav reminded me of the garden vada pav from Pune truly authentic and the samosa chat was so good!! I am going to visit them again for sure and try more things on the menu. Super affordable too!!

Recently opened place in downtown as the name says chaat place. We tasted Vada pav and street style chole. Food over here is amazing in taste . People who are true foodie will love this place for food. However I did not like the ambience as the place is not that neat and clean . The entrance door was not cleaned at all for a newly opened place.The tables were not cleaned when I entered and was never cleaned for the newly arrived customers. The place says self service so we have to order and fetch our food from the counter( less work for them) this time and energy be used in cleaning the place. Overall the experience for food is wonderful and nobody can beat that . I love the menu have attached all the pics .

We tried this during our trip to Toronto and loved the place. We were looking for some light snacks during the day after doing some touristy things in Toronto and stumbled upon this place. The food was great and service was wonderful! We tried the Mumbai sandwich, the Dahi Puri and the Vada Pav - love it all. Amit & the staff were very courteous. Highly recommend if you want authentic street side Indian food! Highly recommend the place & we will be back.

I'm actually very disappointed. I order from Uber Eats. I've read all the good reviews and ordered. It took some time for to the driver to take the order apparently "as per the uber driver" the restaurant wasn't giving him the order and told him to wait. The vada pav's bun was very very soggy, sticky and cold tasteless. The lamb qeema pav was cold too. The bun wasn't fresh at all. The only thing that was hot it was the chai. I will not order here next time for sure. The packaging was very poor too.

The chaat items are fresh and very flavorful. The chicken samosa filling was a little dry but overall it was spicy and tangy which we liked. The chola batura had very less oil which we loved. highly recommend to try chola batura. The dining area is decent and has a nice ambience. During peak busy hours like evenings the waiting time is beyond 30min so better visit before. If you are craving authentic Indian street food like pani puri, this place offers a great spot for a quick real taste of india.

Visited with my family. A typical Indian street food you will get here. We ordered: Dahi Bhalla, Samosa Chaat (my favourite), Mumbai Vada Pau, Pahado Wali Maggi, Pau Bhaji and Karak Chai (as it was raining so we tried strong Tea). Ambience was awesome and I loved desi Indian quotes of each food hanging on the wall (Picture attached). Staffs were friendly and price was very decent. Very tasty food and definitely will visit again.

I've only had their sugar cane juice as it was a hot day, so please take this review as incomplete for now. But, the juice was freshly made and very refreshing. Price was $6 plus tax for a small 12 ounce size. I love sugar cane juice so will be back. They also seem to have an extensive menu with Indian street foods and snacks. It is the same owners as the previous Indian restaurant here but they have rebranded with a new menu.

the food was great and the staff were incredibly kind! I especially loved the maggi dishes. I highly recommend if you are in the area.

The previous incarnation in this space was Maezo, who opened a week before Covid lock down but survived when so many family run business did not. The manager of Maezo has bought out his boss and created a restaurant closer to his own heart. Maezo was more fine dining, this is street food served with nostalgic fondness by a man with a big heart. He is the type of immigrant Toronto thrives on, dedicated, hard-working and motivated to make it on his own. I had a kurkure chaat, which are kind of like cheetos with masala sauces added. It was pleasant enough but one I would not have again, but the chole kulche, two small naan-like breads with a deep brown chickpea curry was filling and had a rich, satisfying after taste. This space is literally at my doorstep so I can see going back there again and again to try out different things from the menu. Mainly I appreciate the integrity and devotion of the new owner.
