Catering is not a side line for us. Shikha Chadha started Chit Chaat in 2018 as a home catering business, feeding intimate gatherings and big parties across London before opening the flagship in Barnet. The recipes are hers, carried from Amritsar: home-style, lighter on oil and spice, and cooked in a nut- and seed-free kitchen.

Private Catering Near Barnet: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for private catering near Barnet? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
Bringing Chit Chaat to your Barnet home or workplace
Being local changes what catering can be. A Barnet family hosting a birthday in a house near Hadley Green, a church group gathering after a service at St John the Baptist, or a team lunch in an office close to The Spires can all have food that left our kitchen only minutes earlier. Short journeys mean fewer compromises, and if something changes on the day, we are just down the road.
Barnet hosts a lot of family occasions: anniversaries, engagement parties, Diwali and Eid get-togethers, and the kind of Sunday lunch that turns into a party. For these we like a spread that feels generous without being heavy. Think aloo tikki chole chaat or pani puri to get conversations going, chicken lollipop and tandoori malai broccoli to share, then lamb rogan josh, kadhai paneer, dal tadka and chicken biryani with garlic naan and lachha paratha. Rose milk cake or moong dal halwa makes a good finish. For office lunches, chicken or paneer kathi rolls and lighter plates are easy to eat between meetings.
Our 5-star food hygiene rating and 4.5 Google score from 555 reviews come from the same kitchen that cooks your catering. To get started, fill in the enquiry form at /private-catering/#enquire with your date, venue and rough numbers, or call 07414 109555. If you would rather celebrate at the restaurant instead, we can talk about that too.

Questions from Barnet
Do you cater office lunches for businesses in Barnet?
Yes. Corporate lunches are one of the occasions we cater, and Barnet offices are close to our High Street kitchen. Dishes like chicken or paneer kathi rolls, tandoor items and biryanis suit a working lunch. Send your date and team size through the enquiry form and we will suggest a menu.
Is the catering the same food as the Barnet restaurant?
It comes from the same kitchen and the same recipes, developed by chef-founder Shikha Chadha from her family's Amritsari cooking. The restaurant menu is a good guide to what we can make, and catering menus are shaped around your event, guest list and dietary needs.
Can you cater a religious or festival gathering?
We are happy to cater festival get-togethers such as Diwali, as well as family occasions after a religious service. All meat is halal, the kitchen is nut- and seed-free, and there is a wide choice of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Tell us about any specific requirements in your enquiry so we can plan for them.
What details do you need to plan my catering?
The most useful details are your date, the venue or address, an approximate guest count, the style of event and any dietary needs or allergies. Pop those into the enquiry form, email bookings@chitchaat.co or call 07414 109555, and we will get back to you to discuss options.
