Chit'n'Chaat in Manchester

I was looking for somewhere to eat in Manchester’s “curry mile” and chanced upon this restaurant. It serves delicious food which is authentically Indian. I had a huge Masala dosa with various chutnies. Also pani puri. The staff are delightful and the restaurant is good value. Recommended.

The best place for Indian street food Always has amazing good and great customer service

The food was lovely. The dahi Puri was amazing. The masala dosa took me back up Chennai! The kuthu Paratha was flavourful. Definitely recommend.

Best place to try Chaat… ‘Masala Chai’ was amazing

Tasty and authentic Indian street food. Great service and friendly staff.

Really great Indian street food, quite authentic for my tastebuds. Recommend the dabeli, vada pao, chicken lollipops and sev puri, which we got. Note : the pictures are a bit deceptive, the portions are really good! Will definitely come back and recommend this place highly. Hygiene standards are also great - don’t forget to wash everything down with masala or pink Kashmiri chai!

We ordered pav baji, vada pav and mogo everything was too salty couldn't taste any spice or flavour other than salt. Won't be coming again.

WOW!! I am so happy we stumbled across this place!! Incredible flavors, every mouthful — the samosas in particular were a perfect blend of spices and that awesome plump potato-y texture inside. Delicious homemade sauces and the best mango lassi I’ve had in years! Staff handled a busy, hectic atmosphere WITH APLOMB and were never too busy to answer our questions and make sure we were taken care of. Definitely returning.

I literally could not recommend this restaurant enough, the food was so so so good. We got the okra fries - they were INSANE, way way better than Dishoom, the Pav Bhaji - the Pav was sooo soft and the bhaji was absolutely bursting with spiciness and tanginess, the Momos - these don’t rlly look like traditional momos but they had SO much flavour and the spicy chutney with them is soo good, the mogo chips - soo delish, and the Dhabili - something I had never tried before and absolutely devoured. The service was really nice, the food came out quick and the music was perfect for the food! Don’t be put off by the slightly high prices, the food portions are very worth it!

Everything was awesome. Thanks veeru for great service

Food was delicious, loved the samosa chaat. Great service!

Aww.. the vibe and service is just awsome.

Maaki di roti and saag.... need I say more 🤤 Come here regularly and they make it according to your spice preferences, such friendly service

The Chaats brilliant everything else is mediocre. Food is all halal.

I recently dined at Chit N Chaat, and I must say it was one of the best Indian food experiences I've had in the UK. The food was absolutely delicious, with the dosas and pav bhaji standing out as exceptional. The flavors were authentic, and every bite reminded me of home. If you're looking for genuine Indian cuisine in the UK, Chit N Chaat is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!

Lovely pleasant experience, the food was fantastic & the staff were professional & friendly. Was really busy & our food still came out hot / fresh in a very reasonable time.....my only very slight critique would be the chicken noodle portion size could be bigger given it was almost £9 & authentic sauces should be served rather than tomato sauce. Besides this, I have nothing but positive thoughts on this place & I definitely will be recommending & returning.

Simply wow, from start to finish the service from Sai and Veeru was excellent, they were attentive, welcoming and always happy to accommodate any requests. The food itself came out one by one and just when you thought it couldn’t get better, it did. The masala dosa was superb with great tasting a generous portion of filling too. Following this keema pav and chicken reshmi kebabs were divine to top that the makki di roti and saag was a real delight, not forgetting the tantalising aloo tikki’s. Finishing off our meal we went for the ajar halwa and gulab jamuns which were freshly made, simply exquisite with our kadak and masala chai. Not one bit of food or drink including a nimbu pani was left. Amazing work and even better food, cannot wait to come back and try all the rest of your dishes.

Amazing food👍 Everything we ordered was perfect!

Wow what a hidden gem visited here on wednsday evening got to say I was taken back with the quality and taste of the food i was greeted with a warm welcome and a friendly smiling waitress I bought the Veg Momos and Pani puri the food was absolutely delicious mouth watering pani puri full of flavour Momos could have been steamed instead of fried but still tasted fantastic packed a punch overall Good quality and fantastic value for money food I was really satisfied will definitely be coming back and would defo recommend if you fancy a change from the usual foods you get on wilmslow rd

Some cuisines like Pao bhaji are really good. However, I couldn't get the purpose of serving mini idlis. Also, there's been a recent incident with my wife and me when we went there today and ordered breakfast (Chana Puri and Chhole Bhature). the taste and quality of food was good but we had drink in a travel mug for which we asked for an empty glass to share between us. I was shocked when the lady serving there offered the glass and said simultaneously "Sorry, if that's tea it's not allowed to have it here". I found it really offending because, firstly, it's just a protein drink and even if it's a chai (which my wife in her previous visit took there and she was refused to drink it due to same reason when she ordered food), we have ordered the WHOLE breakfast and paying for it. Some Indians are very peculiar about their tea and if they are carrying it in a travel mug why are they being stopped doing that. Why can't they enjoy your ambience and food with their own drink even if they are paying what they've ordered for? Why are you spoiling the mood of the customer by creating fuss over little thing, an empty glass really?????

The one star I rated is only for the Amritsari fish. Rest everything is rubbish. The girl at the cash counter is so arrogant, having no customer dealing etiquettes and not at all ready to take the feedback . Instead of taking feedback open heartedly, she was taunting us. Would not recommend this place at all. Overly priced things with less quantity and zero taste. Worst experience of dining at an Indian restaurant in Manchester.

An amazing restaurant! One of my favourites in Manchester. The food is very flavoursome and authentic. My favourites are the paneer dosa and gobi manchurian. I also enjoyed the hakka noodles, cheese toastie and vada pav. I have tried almost all of the veg dishes here and the only one I did not enjoy was the saag. Everything else has been amazing! Also pricrs are amazing and really affordable for such delicious food. Would really recommend to everyone!

I went there yesterday with my sister and we both love the food so much we can not fault it xx

Service so quick when making food. The chicken hakka noodles 10.9/10🙂‍↕️😝

Great food! Really good service!

Waste of money 🥲 I ordered mini sambar idli (10 pieces) but see what i got. Around 6 or 7 idili and it’s not sambar i felt like a masala water. I didn’t expect this from chit n chat 🥲🥲 totally waste of money

The food here is just awesome and place has a desi vibe with excellent food and service. Would definitely recommend others to give it a try and you’ll love it.

Great value where can you get this breakfast food and cheap

My son highly recommended Chit n Chat and we were very impressed with the authentic food and nice service

Vada pav is not so tasty dry and too much garlic infused chatni . Dosas are amazing . Pavbhabi is bland missing flavour.

The most amazing Indian street food in Manchester period. Feels like home

Foods ok. Doesn't have the authentic taste of Indian street food. Had papdi (4⭐), gol guppay (3⭐), Chicken Seekh Kebab (2⭐), makki di roti and saag (2⭐), Keema Paratha (4⭐).. I specifically asked if the saag was the Punjabi sarson ka saag, I was assured it was... But far from it, that was a big disappointment.

Cannot rate this place enough. Fantastic staff who went the extra mile to make the experience a special occasion. The food was absolutely delicious, and possibly one of the best Indian meals I have had. We opted for sharing 2 main meals which complemented each other perfectly (kadai chicken and chilli garlic chicken) with rice and nans. The food was out of this world and will definitely be back to try more of the menu when in Manchester.

Pleasantly surprised by the food and service. Wanted to get a quick bite to eat. Ordered chicken momos which turned out to be the best we've had in the UK. Will go back soon.

It was an amazing experience here. Tejashree gave us the best service and helped to choose the best dish . Great food .

Great food and amazing help by Tejashree, suggested amazing food options

Brilliant food, brilliant service, nice location. Would definitely go back.

Best food and amazing service by Tejashree

Lovely food and great service. Helpful recommendations for what to eat from Viru.

Went for lunch on Thursday and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and service we were very well looked after by Gayatri. The mini ghee idli was amazing and masala chai was amazing All in all a very good place to dine when in the area Will definitely return!!!!

The best Indian restaurant in town has to be Gayatri's. The warm and friendly service provided by Gayatri truly made the dining experience exceptional. She was not only attentive but also went out of her way to ensure that we were comfortable and satisfied with our meal. I highly encourage all of you to visit this place.

Really good food here. The new breakfast menu for £5 is excellent value for money. Chole bhature is really good. I’ve eaten here at least 10 times. Tasty food, good atmosphere, good service.

Authentic food with hearty presentation. The best part about this place is that the dishes stand true to their name, the taste or simplicity is not altered as is found in many Indian restaurants. Would visit again!

The food was very delicious and elegant.

Genuinely authentic Indian street food for a change, definitely cut above the rest.. service from Tejashree was fantastic, not the first time we have been here and won't be the last!

Lovely little place to have food. Brilliant service.

Lots of great gluten free options!

Good food. Great Service. Very very welcoming and friendly staff.

Food was Awesome specially environment 👌

I feel it is more expensive as compare to their other branch. Over that 10% service charge. Food was okay. ( talking about chit n chaat deansgate) I am editing it because there was no option to reply back to your comment. Prices in Rusholme branch is different. You can compare menu because I did. Also service charge you have put on my bill was 10% not 5%. I visited yesterday to your deansgate branch around 8:30pm and ordered paneer dosa. Also, if you charge 5% service charge and intentially charged 10% to me, it questions your working ethics also. That is wrong. I want to mention that I had visited both of your branches, rusholme and deansgate. I don't remeber about rusholme service charge because it is been few weeks I have visited that branch but I recently dine in to deansgate branch and there, I was charged 10%. Also rusholme branch has cheaper price than deansgate, that is what I highlighted in my review. I think now we both are at same page. 1) Rusholme branch has cheap prices as compare to deansgate branch 2) You charge 10% service tax not 5%. Food I like more from rusholme branch :)

Second time coming - great food and service. Will be back

Great atmosphere, the food was delicious and the service was incredible. The waiter’s are very kind and willing to help. Would strongly recommend coming for food here.

Service excellent food was superv❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It’s always pleasure to have food at chit chat The staff is great and very supportive and the food never disappoints

Over priced…Too much sauce in food.Not worth of your money

Overpriced, too saucy and less quantity. You can find a better one for this price for sure !!!!

Too much sauce in food and overpriced.

It's a great place to have authentic Indian food. The staff are really friendly and welcoming.

Awsmm experience awsmm staff ...

I order paari chaat but I think quantity of yogurt should be reduce in it & bit more spicy. Tea was very good😊

The food is really good and atmosphere is fine. The staff is very rude. Throws things on table when asked. Mostly the Sunday morning staff. It was our second experience with the same rude staff.

Lovely, authentic, traditional India restaurant which I have highly recommended to friends and strongly suggest anyone else to try. Lovely people, great atmosphere and a very worth while restaurant to visit. I am a regular and will continue to come regularly. You will be to once you try it! Five stars for perfection

Tejashree Gayatri and Sai were great hosts, gorgeous food great atmosphere they were so hospitable and so friendly! We will be back guys!

Delicious food, fab service, well worth a visit!

Very good service and food taste and quantity is great.

I had masala dosa, chat and karak chai. I loved everything. The front desk people were so engaging with the customers. Even though the atmosphere is nice, I would recommend a small partition between seats so that you dont need to worry about privacy.

I have walked passed this cafe several times. The colours and style have always invited me to walk in, so this weekend I did. Lovely hospitality and absolutely gorgeous food. I loved the Chaat, it looked so good I didn't get to take a picture because I dived straight in. The vegan tea was my favourite with a stuff paratha💖☕

Great option for Indian street food. The staff is friendly and kind. We are regulars here and everytime we crave good Indian food it's our go to place. The Masala dosa is just like home, the chats are tasty and flavourful, their chicken bun kebabs are my top pick. I laso enjoy the chicken momos, Misal pav ( you can request for a spicy one ) and chicken lollypop. Though sadly the portions have reduced over the year.

If i get zero options will do it , zero taste price extremely high for nothing regart to went there .

Food was nice ( quite on pocket) We ordered Vada Pav, Masala Dosa, Raghda Patty. Talking about Vada Pav , it was bang on...just missed the gun powder as coconut was overpowering the taste. Otherwise was nice Raghda Patty was delicious. As far as masala Dosa is concerned...loved the crispiness and filling. Coconut chutney was lovely but tomato chutney can be more flavorful ( need a good tadka to it). Sambar was also good on taste. Overall can say Vadapav 8/10 Raghda Patty 9/10 Masala Dosa 8/10 Hope u find some good flavors in other dishes at Chit n Chat.... Love u guys....

Food is too yummy 😋 overall good experience 😁 Recommend.... 8/10

Wow what a find. Great value food.

We went there on Sunday for breakfast and tried chole bhature, halwa, chana, and poori. Great taste; it has to be one of the most authentic Indian places in Manchester. £5 for each, great value for money. The biggest challenge could be finding a parking, though.

Really great food. Would be nice if I could get a beer with it though

Best food in a long time. Parking across the road. Be carefully of cycle lanes

Excellent authentic Indian food. I have had food from here twice and the quality was great both times :)

Overall great experience, courteous and professional staff. Everything was freshly prepared and tasted authentic. We ordered pani puri, masala dosa, dabeli, chicken lolypop, and masala fish. All meat is #halal halal which is great . Highly recommended.

True to its name , located right in the center of the City . Tried Momos , Masala chai , Chicken biryani and Samosa chat and I must say it was a treat. Lovely ambiance with great service. Masala chai was just amazing and a must try. Will be visiting this place every time I visit Manchester.

We ordered their Amritsari fish, plain dosa, chili chips and pani puri. The fish was perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful, chilli chips were soo good, and yes pani, I will say for me it was just good. We also had Tea and gulab jamun at the end While the gulab jamun were delicious, I found them to be a bit pricey considering the portion size." Give it a try, highly recommended.

If you are missing authentic chaat flavour then Chit’N’Chat is must go place. The dahi puri had an authentic flavor, and I also tried the hakka noodles, which were nice. And also we had both plain dosa and masala dosa.the plain dosa was okay, but the masala dosa was very tasty. I definitely recommend trying it.

Delicious, fresh food, great service, clean and tidy restaurant

One of the best indian restaurant..loved it

Can't go wrong for a quick small bite. Service could be better. Too many questions being asked interrupting conversations with my friends

Ordered momoos they were very basic and surprisingly was fried with some very spicy sauce .Dahi puri was quite fulfilling .As it’s an Indian street food restaurant pani puri can be much better .Quantity was less honestly for everything we ordered .

Everything was amazing , the food was delicious, staffs are very friendly, best place I can say without any doubt they are serving the best Indian food in Manchester, I really enjoyed everything and gonna visit again.

Great food 😋with great service Definately come back

Dont deserve even one star pani puri is totally tasteless not fresh staff behavior is rude recommend everyone to not come here ..

Giving costumers left overs tasteless panipuri not even good in Management.

A beautiful place to dine in and food tastes just like Indian..loved it...

Loved the food ..had tastes that I've never had before so it was a nice experience.i would definitely visit again it was good fun and the service was really good . So friendly and helpful when ordering and staff making recommendations .

Customer service was brilliant and the food was amazing will definitely be going back

Average food but too expensive as compared to food places of similar menu. Street food bill came up to around £45!! Only had 2-3 small plates type of food also the ‘masala chai’ they used the ready made packets add to water sachet. I was disappointed and will not be visiting again

Vada pao is too dry and awful in taste, chana chat and masala dosa were good.

Very nice place, extremely and genuinely friendly. Wonderful food, not expensive.

Looking for somewhere for lunch while visiting our daughter who is at Manchester Uni. I used to frequent Rusholme when I lived there 30 years before. This place was open for lunch and it didn't disappoint. I have traveled to southern India and I love finding authentic Indian food. It was all superb. The right amount of spices and flavours in everything we tried. I will be going again as soon as I can.

Chit ‘n’ Chaat in Rusholme is definitely worth from the city center. Their Kothu Roti and Dabeli are exceptional, offering a taste that’s hard to find anywhere else. Choosing this location over the city center branch shows just how good their food is. It’s a favorite spot for us as we love real Indian street food.🍴✨

It would have been better if there were more varieties.

Really good, authentic South Indian food and drinks!

Authentic flavors dance on the plates at this indian gem. Each dish tells a story of tradition and skills. Warm hospitality and vibrant ambiance enhance the dining experience. A must-visit for those craving a taste of India's culinary richness. Truly a feast for the senses.

Terrible rubber type dosa. Uneddable
