Indian Restaurant Near Me in Totteridge: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for Indian restaurant near me in Totteridge? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
From Totteridge Lane to our tables in Barnet
Totteridge is one of the leafiest corners of the borough, with Totteridge Green and open views that make Barnet High Street feel a world away, though it is only about 2 miles. By car, the drive takes a few minutes and you can leave the car in one of the two car parks around the restaurant. If you would rather have a drink with dinner, the tube is simple: Totteridge & Whetstone station is one stop from High Barnet, and from there it is about a ten-minute walk.
An evening here might begin at the bar with a rose and cardamom lassi or a cocktail, then move on to dahi puri and avocado chaat to share. For mains, the lamb curry, fish curry and paneer makhani pair well with chilli garlic naan or missi roti. If you are celebrating, finish with moong dal halwa or sticky toffee cake, and take your time over it. Nobody will rush you out of the door.
We serve lunch and dinner on Monday and Wednesday to Friday, then from noon until 11pm on Saturday and noon until 10pm on Sunday; we are closed on Tuesdays. Booking is easiest online through OpenTable at chitchaat.co, or phone 07414 109555. For Sunday family lunches from Totteridge, an earlier booking gives everyone more time to linger over dessert and a second round of lassi.

A bar to start the evening
Our cocktail bar and Indian soft drinks such as Thums Up, Limca and shikanji make a good first stop before you sit down to eat, especially on a weekend night.
Made for long lunches
