Indian Restaurant Near Me in Golders Green: Worth the Trip North
Chit Chaat is about 8 miles north of Golders Green, at 135 High Street in Barnet, roughly 25 to 30 minutes by car. It is a journey to plan rather than a spur-of-the-moment stop, which makes it a natural choice for a special meal rather than a quick bite.
Chef-founder Shikha Chadha cooks the North Indian dishes she grew up with in Amritsar, lighter on oil and full of home-style flavour. Come for a birthday, an anniversary or a long Saturday lunch with family. Two car parks sit around the restaurant, and the whole kitchen is nut- and seed-free.

Indian Restaurant Near Me in Golders Green: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for Indian restaurant near me in Golders Green? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
Planning a special meal out from Golders Green
Golders Green station is on the Edgware branch of the Northern line, which does not run to High Barnet, so the car is the practical way to reach us from Golders Green. Allow about 25 to 30 minutes for the drive, a little more on busy Saturday afternoons, and park in one of the two car parks around the restaurant. You could make a day of it, with a morning walk in Golders Hill Park and a long lunch with us in Barnet.
For an occasion meal, let the table fill up. Begin with pani puri and palak patta chaat, then share lamb chops, malai chicken tikka and paneer tikka from the tandoor. Dal makhani, lamb curry and baingan masala make a balanced spread with garlic naan and missi roti. To finish, kulfi falooda, moong dal halwa and gulab jamun with vanilla ice cream are worth ordering for the table. If your celebration is large, ask about private hire of the restaurant.
We open for lunch and dinner on Monday and Wednesday to Friday, from noon until 11pm on Saturday and noon until 10pm on Sunday, and we close on Tuesdays. Because you are travelling, please book ahead online through OpenTable or call 07414 109555.

Questions from Golders Green
Is Chit Chaat worth the drive from Golders Green?
We think so. The trip is about 8 miles, roughly 25 to 30 minutes by car, and there are two car parks around the restaurant. In return you get home-style Amritsari cooking, a cocktail bar and a menu that suits vegans, gluten-free diners and anyone avoiding nuts and seeds.
Can I take the Northern line from Golders Green to Barnet?
Not directly. Golders Green is on the Edgware branch, and High Barnet is at the end of a different branch, so you would need to change trains. Driving is usually quicker, and our two nearby car parks make it the more practical choice for most visits.
Can you seat a large family celebration?
Yes, with notice. Call 07414 109555 or email bookings@chitchaat.co to talk through your group size and date, and we will plan the seating. For bigger celebrations, private hire of the restaurant is available; send details through the enquiry form on our website and the team will get back to you.
Which desserts are best for sharing?
Kulfi falooda, gulab jamun with vanilla ice cream, gajar ka halwa, moong dal halwa, rose milk cake and sticky toffee cake all work well in the middle of the table. Ordering two or three lets everyone try a spoonful, which is a nice way to end a celebration meal.
