Indian Street Food Near Me in Golders Green
Indian Street Food Near Golders Green, Worth the Trip North
From Golders Green, Chit Chaat is about 8 miles north at 135 High Street, Barnet, roughly 25 to 30 minutes by car. It is a trip, not a pop-in, and the reward is a menu built around Indian street food: pani puri, crispy kale chaat, aloo tikki chole chaat, pav bhaji, chole bhature and Amritsari kulcha.
People travel for food that feels personal. Ours comes from chef-founder Shikha Chadha, who grew up in Amritsar and started cooking for London gatherings in 2018 before opening in Barnet. The chaats taste like home cooking from Punjab, lighter on oil and full of flavour.

Indian Street Food Near Me in Golders Green: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for Indian street food near me in Golders Green? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
Is the trip from Golders Green worth it for chaat?
Let us be honest about the distance. Golders Green station is on the Edgware branch of the Northern line, and High Barnet is on the other branch, so the tube is not the easy route. Driving takes roughly 25 to 30 minutes, and there are two car parks around the restaurant. That makes Chit Chaat a destination for a weekend lunch or a special evening rather than a weekday snack, perhaps after a stroll in Golders Hill Park.
If you are making the journey, treat it as a tasting. Order a run of chaats for the table: pani puri and avocado chaat side by side to compare, aloo tikki chole chaat for something rich, and crispy kale chaat for crunch. Then move to the bigger street classics. Pav bhaji and vada pav show off Mumbai, chole bhature and Amritsari kulcha show off Punjab, and both styles sit happily together. The mix tandoori platter is there if you want to keep going.
Opening hours: 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, Sunday 12:00 to 22:00, closed Tuesday. Book ahead so your table is ready. For takeaway, check Uber Eats or Deliveroo for delivery to your Golders Green address. If you love the food and have a celebration coming up, our catering team can bring it to you.

How long does it take to get to Chit Chaat from Golders Green?
Roughly 25 to 30 minutes by car, covering about 8 miles to 135 High Street, Barnet, where there are two car parks around the restaurant. The tube is less convenient because Golders Green and High Barnet sit on different branches of the Northern line.

Do you offer tandoor platters as well as street food?
Yes. Alongside the chaats and street classics, we serve the mix tandoori platter, made for sharing, plus tandoor dishes such as achari paneer tikka, tandoori malai broccoli, tandoori chicken and lamb seekh kebab. They pair well with a few chaats for a bigger sharing meal.
What makes your street food different?
The recipes come from chef-founder Shikha Chadha's family in Amritsar, passed down through generations and cooked the way they would be at home: lighter on oil and spice, but full of flavour. The kitchen is also nut- and seed-free, and the meat is halal.
