Modern Indian Street Food Near Hendon: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for modern Indian street food near Hendon? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
Hendon's 20-minute route to a street-food table
From Hendon, the A1 is the quickest way here, and the drive usually takes about 20 minutes. Hendon Central is on the Edgware branch of the Northern line, which does not run to High Barnet, so the car is generally the easier choice. Park in one of the two car parks around the restaurant and you are a minute from the table.
Hendon is home to Middlesex University, and our sharing format suits students and young professionals who want variety and a sociable meal. Gather a group, order a couple of tandoor platters and a round of chaats, and split everything. Masala fries and a masala popadum keep people going while everyone arrives. If you have spent the day at the RAF Museum, a sit-down meal is about 20 minutes up the road.
A balanced order for a group might include crispy kale chaat, avocado chaat, onion bhaji, the mix tandoori platter, then a couple of kathi rolls and a garlic naan or two. If you come for an earlier meal, brunch until 3pm adds puri aloo, gobi paratha and masala egg bhurji with Malabar paratha to the choice. For delivery to Hendon, check Uber Eats or Deliveroo, as it depends on your address. To eat in, book online or call 07414 109555; we are closed on Tuesdays.

Questions from Hendon
How do I get from Hendon to Chit Chaat?
The quickest route is by car via the A1, which takes about 20 minutes for roughly 7 miles. There are two car parks around 135 High Street. Hendon Central is on the Northern line's Edgware branch, which does not go to High Barnet, so public transport involves a change.
Is Chit Chaat good for a student group from Middlesex University?
Sharing plates work well for groups because you can order a spread and split it. A few chaats, a couple of tandoor platters and kathi rolls cover a lot of tastes, and there are Indian soft drinks and lassis as well as cocktails. Book ahead online or by phone for larger groups.
Can I order Chit Chaat to Hendon?
We deliver through Uber Eats and Deliveroo, but whether that reaches Hendon depends on your address, so check the app first. Kathi rolls, curries, biryanis and breads tend to travel best. For events, our catering team can bring food to you; send an enquiry through the website.
What makes your chaat modern?
The flavours are traditional, but some dishes are new takes, such as avocado chaat and the crispy kale chaat, and everything is plated for sharing rather than eaten standing at a stall. Add a cocktail from the bar and it becomes a sit-down street-food meal.
Drive up the A1 from Hendon and book a sharing table at Chit Chaat online or on 07414 109555.
