"First Chaat & Dhaaba house in Victoria" is the claim on the business card, which as I understand it translates roughly to first Indian truckstop food place in Victoria. Quick and simple, traditional fast food from India. The décor is basic, with green fluoro lights on the canopy outside that give it the authentic suburban Indian restaurant feel. Last visit, we ate very well with shared entrees and mains at $10 per head for 5 people. Sometimes the service can be a bit slow if they’re busy, but worth a wait as it is consistently the right Indian food at the right price.
