Biked 20 miles from DC for this hidden treasure inside an ExxonMobil gas station - authentic Indian food made fresh by the owners (a friendly Punjabi couple) and better pani puri than you’ll find in Delhi. Amazing mango lassi and perfect samosa burrito as well (not to mention amazing rasmalai and faloodah for dessert - something you can’t even find at most Indian restaurants in the area) 100% recommend!!!!!

So good!! I got the Pani Puri, and I have to say that this some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had, for a very reasonable price. It’s sold out if a gas station, but don’t let that scare you. The people that sell the food are incredibly kind and genuine. This is now one of my go to restaurants.

This spot is a hidden gem! I wasn't sure I was even in the right place until I actually walked into the gas station market it's in -- there's a little counter and a little kitchen tucked into the opposite corner, which is where you'll find the menu. I tried a samosa burrito and it was both delicious and filling, especially at the price point -- I got dinner for two and another meal tomorrow for about $30.Short version: I'll be back, you should give it a try.

Inexpensive, fast and delicious. Great for a quick takeout. We ordered butter chicken platter and samosas, and the food was ready for pickup in 5-7 minutes.NOTE: They are actually inside the gas station. There’s no sign for Chit Chaat Cafe outside.

Best biryani, Samosas, and Bread Pakora. There’s way more that auntie knows how to make in her kitchen than is posted on the menu. :)

Chit chaat cafe have outstanding Indian street food that is one of the best in the area. The fried chicken sandwich is hands down the best: the chicken is tender, cooked to perfection, and is a true flavor explosion. The burritos (samosa and chicken butter) are also one of the best Indian burritos. I cannot wait to try their other items, and I hope they maintain the quality and consistency of their food.

Absolutely delicious food, particularly the samosa burrito. Service was also fantastic - the business owner works at the register and also cooks with the help of her husband. They're incredibly nice and passionate about the food they make. Can't recommend it enough.

I had the Chicken Biryani. Very good and plenty of food. Service was great - I placed the order when I got there and was out in a few minutes. Owners were super nice. Will be going back to try the other options.

Hidden gem of Vienna! The Butter Chicken burrito is as good as any Indian food I’ve had in No. Va/DC area. Incredible value and authentic Indian I highly recommend. Family owned business that takes great pride in their work, and it shows.

Very nice samosa and kabab burrito! Really nice people and clean place. Made fresh with love . Only thing is we have to visit next time with an empty stomach to try other entrees. Oh and finally they make and serve golgappas India style!
