When you hear Indian street food in Surrey, your mind might jump straight to chaat. And while we’re famous for our Gol Gappe and Papdi Chaat, the world of Indian street food is a vast, delicious universe of flavours. It’s the hearty, tandoor-fresh kulchas of Amritsar, the buttery, mashed-vegetable goodness of Mumbai’s Pav Bhaji, and the legendary Chole Bhature that defines Punjabi comfort food.
At Akash Chaat House, we are your one-stop shop for this entire culinary journey. We’ve brought all of India’s most iconic street-side dishes under one roof.
Ready for a tour? Let’s explore the must-try categories of Indian street food in Surrey available right here.
Category 1: The Chaat Corner
This is the quintessential street snack. Chaat is the art of the “chatpata”—the sweet, spicy, and tangy. It’s light, quick, and perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up.
- Must-Try: Bhel Puri. A delightful mix of puffed rice, vegetables, crispy sev, and tangy tamarind chutney. It’s light, crunchy, and refreshing.
- The Icon: Gol Gappe (Pani Puri). The ultimate interactive snack. Crispy, hollow puris you fill with potatoes and chickpeas, then dunk in spicy mint water.
Category 2: The Hearty Classics (Full Meals)
This is where street food becomes a truly satisfying meal. These are the legendary dishes that people will cross town for.
- Must-Try: Chole Bhature. This is our signature. We serve two massive, fluffy, deep-fried bhature (bread) alongside a rich, slow-cooked, and perfectly spiced chickpea curry (chole). It’s the undisputed king of Punjabi comfort food.
- The Mumbai Legend: Pav Bhaji. A rich, flavourful curry of spiced, mashed vegetables (the bhaji) served with soft, buttery, toasted buns (pav). It’s a must-try for anyone wanting a true taste of Mumbai.
Category 3: From the Streets of Amritsar
Nothing says “street food” like a dish fresh from a tandoor, served with a dollop of butter.
- Must-Try: Amritsari Kulcha. This isn’t your average naan. It’s a crispy, flaky, tandoor-baked flatbread stuffed with fillings like spiced potato (Aloo Kulcha) or paneer. We serve it authentically with a side of chole and tangy onion chutney.
- The Quick Bite: Vada Pav. Often called the “Indian burger,” this is Mumbai’s most popular grab-and-go snack. A spiced potato fritter (vada) is tucked into a soft bun (pav) with garlic and green chutneys.
Akash Chaat House is a celebration of the rich, diverse tapestry of Indian street food in Surrey. Whether you’re in the mood for a light, crispy snack or a hearty, flavour-packed meal, your journey starts here.
