$, Indian, SoMa
Fodor's Review:
Chaat Café. This no-frills spot (part of a small chain) trades in cheap and tasty Indian snacks called chaat. Standout dishes include pani puri, small, hollow bread puffs you fill with seasoned potatoes and chickpeas, and chicken and fish pakora fritters. Chewy naan is served alongside simple fish, lamb, chicken, and vegetable curries. The flatbread is also used for wraps, including one filled with tandoori chicken, onions, and cilantro. Lassi (a yogurt drink) lovers can satisfy their cravings with salty, sweet, and mango versions. At lunchtime, order at the counter; come dinner, tableside service is usually in effect.
