Chaat in Barnet: Four Chaats, One Nut-Free Kitchen
Chaat is the reason Chit Chaat exists. At 135 High Street, Barnet, we make our chaats to order at lunch and dinner, from pani puri you fill and eat in one bite to aloo tikki chole chaat, crispy kale chaat and our avocado chaat.
Chaat means “to lick” in Hindi, and the best plates are tangy, sweet, spicy and crunchy all at once. Chef-founder Shikha Chadha grew up with them in Amritsar. Unlike many chaat stalls, our whole kitchen is nut- and seed-free, so the sev, puris and chutneys are made without peanuts or sesame.

How to order chaat like a regular
For two people, three chaats is about right as a starter: one crisp (pani puri or crispy kale chaat), one creamy (avocado chaat) and one hearty (aloo tikki chole chaat). For a light lunch, a chaat and a kathi roll each makes a full meal.
Eat pani puri the moment it lands, before the shells soften. Crispy kale chaat is at its best within a few minutes too, while the crunch and the toppings are still in contrast. If you are not sure about spice, ask your server which chaats are milder.
Bringing a group? Order a spread of chaats for the middle of the table. With vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options and no nuts or seeds anywhere in the kitchen, it is one of the easiest ways to feed a mixed table.
Nut- and seed-free chaat
Many chaat shops use peanuts and sesame. Our whole kitchen uses neither, so chaat is back on the table for families with nut allergies.
Made to order, never pre-plated
Puris are filled and chaats assembled when you order, so every plate arrives crisp, cold where it should be and full of crunch.
