Chaat

OVERVIEW

Chaat is a MICHELIN-starred Indian restaurant located in the Rosewood Hong Kong in Tsim Sha Tsui, celebrated for its bold, creative take on the subcontinent’s street food. The name “Chaat” means “to lick” in Hindi, reflecting the restaurant’s philosophy of creating finger-licking good food that you won’t want to leave on the plate.

The restaurant features a glazed kitchen that lets diners watch the chefs in action, with three custom-built tandoor ovens at the heart of the operation. The atmosphere is lively and entertaining, with an open kitchen adding theatrical flair to the dining experience.

Executive Chef Gaurav Kuthari, with over 15 years of culinary experience, is an expert in showcasing the diverse and complex flavours of Indian cuisine. Signature dishes include the black pepper chicken tikka (juicy, perfectly spiced, and cooked in the tandoor), the Oyster Pani Puri (a reimagined version of the classic Indian street snack, topped with caviar and fresh oyster), and the Samosa Tart (a deconstructed samosa served in a tart shell, filled with spiced potato, peas, nuts, and raisins, presented like a blooming flower).

Other standouts include the Goan Fish Curry (Chilean sea bass in coconut milk curry with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried chili powder), Kerala Lobster Curry, Old Delhi Butter Chicken, Rajastani Lamb Neck, and Angara Tandoori Cheese.
