Her food is North Indian home cooking from Amritsar: comforting, carefully spiced and lighter on oil than you might expect.

Catering for Finchley homes, offices and festivals
Finchley is close to us in more ways than one. Finchley Central and West Finchley sit on the same Northern line branch as High Barnet, so many Finchley customers already know the restaurant from a direct tube ride of around 15 minutes. When the party is at your place instead, our catering saves your guests the journey and brings the same cooking to you, whether you are near Finchley Central or out towards North Finchley and Tally Ho.
Finchley has plenty of busy households and offices, and the occasions that suit catering are just as varied: a Diwali gathering with family, a graduation party, a leaving do for a colleague, or a weekend lunch for friends. For festivals, a menu with pani puri, aloo tikki chole chaat and crispy kale chaat sets the tone, followed by kadhai paneer, lamb keema sliders, chicken tikka masala and vegetable biryani, then gulab jamun to finish. For offices, chicken and paneer kathi rolls, the mix tandoori platter and dal tadka with naan keep things simple and tidy.
Tell us where in Finchley you are hosting, your date and an idea of numbers, and we will work out the menu and timings with you.

Questions from Finchley
Can you cater a Diwali party at my house in Finchley?
Yes, festival gatherings are a lovely fit for our food. Chaats such as pani puri and crispy kale chaat, tandoor starters, rich curries and sweets like gajar ka halwa all suit a Diwali spread. Festival dates fill up, so send your enquiry early through the form at /private-catering/#enquire with your date and numbers.
Do you cater leaving dos and office events in Finchley?
We do cater corporate lunches and work events. For a leaving do or team celebration, sharing platters, kathi rolls, samosas and a biryani or two work well. Let us know your office address, the date and numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will put a menu together for you.
I have eaten at the restaurant. Can catering include my favourite dishes?
Catering comes from the same kitchen and recipes as the restaurant, so the menu is a good starting point. Tell us which dishes you love and we will let you know how well they suit your event and the journey, suggesting alternatives where something is better enjoyed fresh at the table.
Is Chit Chaat's catering halal?
All the meat we cook is halal, and the whole kitchen is free from nuts and seeds of every kind. There are also many vegan and gluten-free dishes, so mixed groups are easy to cater. Please list any allergies or requirements in your enquiry so we can plan carefully.
