Chatni Indian Restaurant

We ordered take-out from Chatni, which was very easy to do. Their online menu features images and descriptions, which helped us make our food choices. Delivery was managed by the restaurant, thereby making things convenient for us and the food arrived within 30 minutes of the scheduled time. The food was clean, fresh, delicious and generous. My ONLY criticism is the vegetable Samosa filling, which was more like seasoned, mashed potatoes than diced potato with peas ... but even THEY were tasty and the dough was crisp, flavorful and not greasy. We chose a "mild" heat level and thankfully, the cook listened. On our next order, we might be brave and try "medium" ;-). They threw in free pappadum and a taste of their rice pudding, which was a nice treat.

A humble Indian Restuarant with Yummy food and kind hearted staff. Pros: - Amazing food: Naan and Tandoori Roti were evenly cooked with appropriate amount of dough. - Bhindi is a must try. - Kind Hearted Staff: My friend left her bag as we left, the staff was kind to call us back. Could Be Better: - The ambience could be better. Decor and furniture is a bit outdated. - Serving out of the can Indian deserts are never good on the tastebuds. -

We stepped in here somewhat randomly while we were in Montclair, mainly because someone opened the door and we caught whiffs of something fragrant and delicious. Like the famed Toucan Sam, we followed our noses inside. There are two menus here, and if you arrive while lunch specials, your server will automatically bring you the menu with the specials. I overheard a nearby table asking for 'the other menus', and based on their conversation, it seemed like they wanted the bigger portions of the dinner menus. Something to keep in mind if you're especially hungry. That said, my husband and I were more than satisfied with our lunch specials. We were given a metal pot filled to the top with rice AND a basket of four naan, each of which were branded with tandoori char and given a generous brush

Delivery Order - Kind of having mixed feeling about the food. Veg Sampler (Appetizers) was just average with barely any seasoning and they did not seem fresh. Biryani good but some of the Lamb pieces were overcooked and chewy. Noodles was pretty good. I have a feeling their Indo-Chinese and Curries will probably taste better

Just went to the restaurant last Friday for dinner and food was so good!! We ordered lacha paratha, garlic naan, malai kofta, and paneer. Food was very flavorful. However if you are looking for kind of high end fine dining like Dhamaal it’s not but it’s big enough and definitely more than a take away place. I will definitely recommend Chatni.
