New in the City? Here’s the Must-Try Food in Dubai for Indians at Chaat Bazaar
New to Dubai and craving familiar flavours? Discover must-try Indian street food at Chaat Bazaar, from pani puri and vada pav to pav bhaji and chai, all 100% vegetarian and rooted in nostalgia.
Moving to a new city is exciting, but let’s be honest, eventually the glamour fades, and you start craving something familiar. The kind of food that doesn’t need explaining. The kind that reminds you of family weekends, quick snack breaks, and chai-fueled conversations. If you’re new to Dubai and searching for the must-try Indian food in Dubai, we’re here to make that transition a whole lot more comforting.
At Chaat Bazaar, we bring the flavours of Indian streets straight to Dubai with our unapologetically flavour-packed chaats and snacks.
Why Chaat Feels Like Home (Especially in a New City)
For most of us, chaat is a habit. It’s stopping for pani puri after work, sharing papdi chaat with friends and family, or making a full meal out of street snacks because “as it is, we’re hungry.” When you’re new in Dubai, these are the flavours that ground you.
That’s exactly why our menu is built around iconic Indian street food, 100% vegetarian, freshly prepared, and layered with the same sweet, spicy, tangy balance you grew up loving.
Start With the Classics (You’ll Thank Us Later)
If you’re walking into Chaat Bazaar for the first time, here’s our advice: start simple, start classic.
Our Pani Puri is where most people begin and often reorder. Crisp puris, spicy potato filling, and tangy mint water that hits just right. It’s tagged as a Best Seller for a reason. Tip from us: don’t rush it. Let the flavours settle before the next one.
Prefer something creamier? Dahi Puri balances chilled curd, sweet and spicy chutneys, and crunchy shells. It’s perfect if you’re easing into spice or just want something comforting after a long workday.
When You Want “A Little Bit Of Everything”
Indians don’t like choosing just one thing. Our Chaat Combo is ideal when cravings are all over the place. It’s a mix of our best-selling chaats and works perfectly when you’re sharing or simply indecisive.
For something indulgent, Raj Kachori is your go-to. One giant, stuffed puri loaded with fillings, curd, and chutneys. It’s messy, bold, and absolutely worth it.
Street Snacks That Feel Like Muscle Memory
There are some foods that your hands just know how to eat. That’s Asli Vada Pav. It’s quick, affordable, and perfect if you’re missing the chaos of local stalls.
For crisp lovers, Aloo Bhajiya brings thinly sliced potatoes fried in chickpea batter. Simple, addictive, and ideal with chai. Feeling extra hungry? Kashmiri Pakoda Rolls wrap is a filling yet familiar choice.
Comfort Food Days Call for Pav Bhaji
Some days in a new city are overwhelming, and that’s when comfort food matters. Our Amul Butter Pav Bhaji is rich, buttery, and exactly how it should be. It’s the kind of meal that makes Dubai feel a little less far from home.
Don’t Skip the Chai
Indian food without chai feels incomplete. Our Masala Chai is great for groups, while Bun Maska Chai brings back Irani café vibes, soft bun, melting butter, and hot chai. It’s nostalgia, served warm.
