What People Are Saying About Vik's Chaat Corner

In Short – Indian box lunches and hearty side plates on the cheap are served up pronto, fast-food style, in a bare-bones former warehouse that fills up despite its size. Daily specials include one veggie, one chicken and one lamb or fish entree, with rice, chappati (flat bread), papadum (crisp chips), raita (yogurt) and achaar (spicy pickle). The weekend menu is more extensive than the weekday offering and includes biryanis and kababs.

Weekend specials are awesome

by BABarracuda at Citysearch

Even if you're not Indian, as long as you adventorous and can stand spicier fares, I really recommend this place. Reasonable prices, and exotic stuff you cannot find in other Indian restaurants. On weekends, the cook even more authentic stuff that few non-Indians have tasted!

  • Pros: Weekend specials
  • Cons: Closed Mondays

The Berkeley Bowl of Indian Chaat

by mountaingirl01 at Citysearch

Great Indian chaat, more variety than I've seen anywhere in the bay area. It's always busy and crowded here. Don't come if you're looking to sit down and be served.

  • Pros: Yummy food
  • Cons: Busy and crowded (but isn't that usually a good thing?)
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

AMAZING. Enough said.

by ErickaLovesGoodFood at Citysearch

Vik's Chaat Corner is one of those hole-in-the-wall cult restaurants that every serious foodie thanks God for after trying. Yes, it is in a warehouse and often times the line is out the door..and yes, you are lucky to get a table- and if you do, you are lucky to get a clean table...but when you see people eating plates of Indian food on the street curb outside the restaurant because they couldn't find a seat, much less a surface, to eat on- you know the food must be good.

Vik's IS that good- every bite triggers an amazing rush of flavors and senses that teleport you to a new region of tastiness. This food is addictive and you WILL be back for more- even if you have to stand in a long line and eat on the street curb.

  • Pros: Amazing Food- worth the trip
  • Cons: Long lines at times, hard to find seating, cleanliness fo tables
