✓ This really is a genuine treat; because we're finally getting to visit the recently opened "Chit Chaat Chai" Restaurant in Wandsworth, these guys have created a delicious menu drawing inspiration from classic home cooked food and Mumbai’s famous street food stalls & laris'.
In this video we can watch Chef Shad make some of India's favourite street foods whilst at the same time revealing some the recipe secrets behind these great dishes.
This is wonderful "Indian Restaurant Food" at it's very best but at very affordable street food prices!!!
A special thank you to Dhruv, Tania and all the restaurant team
who welcomed us and graciously allowed us a privileged glimpse into their kitchen to do the videoing.
There are so many more "Indian Street Eats" items on the menu that we didn't have a chance to try.........so we can't wait to pay a return visit to taste what we have missed this time around.
