Indian Restaurant Near Me in Edgware: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for Indian restaurant near me in Edgware? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
Driving over from Edgware for a table at Chit Chaat
Edgware station is on the Northern line's Edgware branch, which does not connect directly to High Barnet, so the tube is not the quickest way here. Driving is simpler, at roughly 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic, and you can park in one of the two car parks around the restaurant. It is a short enough trip for a Friday dinner after a day around the Broadwalk, and far enough to feel like a proper evening out.
Once you are here, make the most of the menu. Start with garlic pepper fry prawns or a masala popadum with chaats like aloo tikki chole chaat, then move to the tandoor for lamb chops, tandoori chicken or tandoori malai broccoli. Larger plates such as butter chicken, lamb rogan josh and palak paneer kofta are made for sharing with a stack of breads, from cheese kulcha to lachha paratha. Rose milk cake or sticky toffee cake makes a good final course before the drive home.
Plan ahead around our opening times: Monday and Friday 12:00 to 15:00 and 17:30 to 22:30, Wednesday and Thursday 12:00 to 22:30, Saturday 12:00 to 23:00 and Sunday 12:00 to 22:00, closed Tuesdays.

What should we try from the tandoor?
Lamb chops and tandoori chicken are rich and smoky, achari paneer tikka and tandoori malai broccoli are good vegetarian options, and chicken lollipop suits a sharing table. If you cannot decide, the mix tandoori platter is made for sharing and gives you a selection.

We close every Tuesday.
