Chaat Bhavan - Sunnyvale

We had heard about this place for its reputation with North Indian chaat and thali dishes, so a group of five of us decided to visit after quite some time. Unfortunately, the overall food experience was disappointing. One of the first issues happened when we ordered Manchurian with gravy. The staff did not inform us that they were out of the gravy version and instead served us dry Manchurian without mentioning the change.

I also tried their Holi special thali, which included two vegetable curries, roti, dal, salad, chaat on the side, and soup.
