I ordered the dabeli pav at ChatKatz for $8+tax. The pav they used was very good and not the typical hard grocery store and was closer to the Hot Breads feel.
While my dish had the standard base flavor of a dabeli pav, the filling was drippy instead of being more firm. It was basically falling out the back as you bit into it. It also had way too much garam masala and garlic. Even hours after eating the dabeli pav, I had a lingering garlic-y aftertaste in my mouth.
I also looked at other tables that had ordered the kathiyawadi thali and it looked quite disappointing – including the phulka which did not resemble the typical Gujarati style in terms of thinness.
For dabeli pav, my favorite continues to be Hot Breads in Edison (other locations are franchisees and terrible) and for Gujarati thali in the same Edison area, I would rather go to Khushboo (call ahead as they are closed sometimes) which is across from Hot Breads. If you want the absolute Gujarati and Kathiyawadi thalis – then Kathiyawadi Kitchen in Sayerville is the top place in Jersey. Be prepared to wait as there are no reservation and the restaurant is packed with 1-1.5 hours wait at certain times.

Snacks are the best here… specially people from Mumbai… we took Vadapao & Samosas… they’re awesome…
common sitting area sometimes makes it’s difficult hear the call when you’re food is ready … parking available… no free water… better to carry some

We drove long way to this place. And when we found this type of food court. it was quiet shocking. They have done a great effort to make such a theme. Since it is over crowded probably they have to look for a bigger place. Coming to the chatkaz, we had dal bati, which was awesome unfortunately the guju thali had some issues, one of the subzi was spoiled they immediately replaced the second one, but then i cancelled the order…. thanks guys! But need to improve in hygiene factor alone.

Go with no expectations. Below average food quality. Staff and owner are even worse. Food is definitely not worth the price.

We have been their regular customer for about more than 8 years. Last weekend I recommended my friends to order from them for our Diwali party. There was a mis-match in one item in order, and the person who took order was adamant that they sent the right item. So it was a classic example of he said she said. I was expecting a higher level of customer service because we order from them regularly. But given that the party had already started we just ordered a new item again. I had to send someone to pick the item and the item (kadi pakora) that was sent wasn’t good quality. No one ended up eating it.
The whole experience was very upsetting. I tried to go talk to him today but he wasn’t in the restaurant. At this point, just going to leave it that they lost me as a customer.
My recommendation to all is be sure before paying to pickup what u order. The sad part is such people get away with it even though they are in the service industry. I have recommended them to so many people and now they lost those customers too.

I ordered through Ubereats, and after 45 minutes, my order was canceled. On reordering, I received a disappointing single-layer Maharaja Mac burger with a potato patty instead of a double decker with corn and cheese which it was supposed to be. They either sent me a wrong order or their description is inaccurate. The samosa chat was also soggy. Overall, the taste and quality were subpar. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

Great food authentic Gujarati Indian dishes. Decent pricing. They also offer home delivery of order above 25$. Was certainly not disappointed. The location of the eatery is not very convenient but the food and the variety trumps it all.
