At Chai & Chutney, we specialize in authentic, bold, and soulful vegetarian Indian street food that brings the hustle and bustle of Delhi and Mumbai to the heart of the GTA. If you’re craving something fast, flavorful, and vegetarian—this is your new go-to.
Here are 5 irresistible vegetarian street food options from our menu that you’re going to absolutely love.
Nothing says street food like Pani Puri. Known across India by names like golgappa or puchka, these bite-sized wonders are crunchy, spicy, and filled with excitement.
At Chai & Chutney, we prepare each puri fresh, stuffing it with a spiced potato and chickpea mixture, then drenching it in our signature tangy-minty pani (spiced water). One bite and you’re transported straight to the streets of Mumbai.
Why you’ll love it:
A delicious twist on Pani Puri, Dahi Puri adds a soothing layer of yogurt, sweet chutney, and tangy spices. It’s the ideal balance between crunchy and creamy, sweet and spicy.
We load our crispy shells with potato and sprouts, then drizzle them with velvety yogurt, house-made tamarind chutney, and a sprinkle of chaat masala. It’s a street food classic that never disappoints.
Perfect for:
You haven’t lived until you’ve tried Pav Bhaji, the king of Indian street food. A rich, spiced vegetable mash (bhaji) served piping hot with buttered, toasted buns (pav)—this dish is soul-satisfying and totally vegetarian.
At Chai & Chutney, we slow-cook our bhaji to perfection, blending potatoes, tomatoes, peas, and spices for maximum flavor. Served with fluffy buns, diced onions, lemon, and a dollop of butter—this dish is as hearty as it is nostalgic.
What makes ours special?
Take everything you love about samosas—crisp pastry, savory filling—and then smash it under a layer of spicy chickpeas, yogurt, chutneys, and fresh coriander. That’s Samosa Chaat, one of the most satisfying vegetarian street food dishes you can find in the GTA.
At Chai & Chutney, we elevate this dish with hand-folded samosas and tangy toppings that burst with flavor. It’s messy, it’s spicy, it’s sweet—it’s perfect.
Ideal for:
Last but not least, meet the Vada Pav—India’s answer to the burger. A spiced potato fritter (vada), deep-fried until golden, and tucked into a soft bun (pav) with chutneys and a fiery garlic masala. Simple, spicy, and oh-so-satisfying.
At Chai & Chutney, our Vada Pav is crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and loaded with flavor. One bite and you’ll know why it’s the street food that rules Mumbai.
