Opening a cafe was simmering in Vrinda’s mind for a while. To create a space where both her loves — shopping and eating could come together, seamlessly.

From that very first conversation, when she wondered -“Will people really want to eat street food, not in the street?” we were in. We sat through discussions that felt more like food trails — choosing the states that would inspire the menu, debating whether tamatar chaat from Banaras deserved a spot (it did), and making sure every item felt like a trip back home.

Our main goal was to build a voice, a soul, that could brought back the exact chaos, charm, and chaat of the streets people grew up in. That’s what we had to dig out and spice just right. A cafe with a mood, a memory, a 5 PM school bell, a monsoon in Bombay with vada pao, a Chennai train station with podi idlis. We built a brand that didn’t just serve chaat — it served stories, served sass, served second helpings. From designing menus that felt nostalgic to building content that made people laugh, crave, and click — we gave Chaat Bistro its own plate of identity: loud, loveable, and proudly local.
