Why Did We Build Chaat?

Why Did We Build Chaat?

Why Did We Build Chaat?

A Taste of Home in Every Bite


Four Indian roommates moved to Boston for school, craving a taste of home. What seemed like a simple goal—finding authentic Indian food—turned into a daunting search. Hours spent scrolling through platforms and reviews often led to disappointment, with many options falling short. Hidden gems, local family-owned spots with authentic flavors, were buried beneath the visibility of big chains, making them hard to find. And even when we found the right places, figuring out what to order to satisfy our cravings was a gamble.


This shared experience wasn’t unique to us; it resonated with many immigrants seeking a connection to home through food. This struggle inspired Chaat, a platform that bridges the gap between craving and discovery, connecting users with authentic, local, family-owned restaurants.


We believe in the power of food to bring people together, to comfort, and to inspire. With Chaat, every meal is an opportunity to create new memories, forge connections, and find a taste of home, no matter where you are.
