If Priyanka Chopra's chaat break got you craving some of your own, check out this list

Priyanka Chopra took to her Instagram stories yesterday to share the Lucknowi chaat she gorged during her trip to the city for UNICEF, and we’ll not deny that it made us hanker for a plate of our own. If like us, you’re also in the mood for some good ol’ chaat, we’ve rounded up restaurants in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru that have the beloved street food on their menus. 

Bhawan
 

Bhawan, the Gurugram-based restaurant by Kainaz Contractor and Rahul Dua, is known for its offerings of chaat, street-food inspired dishes, and Indian sweets. While they have an extensive section on the menu dedicated to different chaats from across the country, don’t miss the Bengali favourite jhal muri, Delhi-style gol gappe, the gadbad chaat that is a Kanpur specialty, and the aloo dum dahi bada from Cuttack, where piping hot aloo dum curry (potato-based curry) is served with cold dahi bada (fried lentil dumplings in yogurt). 
Where: Unit 9, 32nd Avenue, NH-8, Sector 15 Part 2, Gurugram.

Bombay Canteen
 

Bombay Canteen, the venerated restaurant known for putting a fun twist to regional Indian food and championing local and seasonal dishes, has two chaat dishes on the menu that reflect its philosophy of experimentation. The Benarasi tamatar (tomato) chaat has creamy burrata, white beans, aamchur (dried mango) chutney, and chorafali, which are airy lentil fritters and a popular Gujarati snack. The other chaat dish on the menu, raaj kachori features spicy ragda (chickpeas curry), charred sweet potato, tangy kairi (raw mango) chutney, and is served with crisps. 
Where: Unit-1, Process House, S B Road, Kamala Mills, Near Radio Mirchi Office, Lower Parel, Mumbai.

Indian Accent 

It would come as a surprise, but the award-winning restaurant helmed by celebrated chef Manish Mehrotra has a special chaat tasting menu. Available only for lunch, the menu includes a rainbow quinoa bhel with avocado and nuts, a mixed-seed dahi wada, and ‘aloo chaat’ in the signature Indian Accent style among other classics that get a modern makeover. There’s also the fleeting daulat ki chaat, one of Delhi’s most mythical street food that is a light-as-air concoction of milk froth, saffron, sugar, and nuts. 
Where: The Lodhi, Lodhi Road, CGO Complex, Pragati Vihar, New Delhi, Delhi. 

Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra
 

The brainchild of culinary icon Jiggs Kalra, Masala Library, that has outposts in both Delhi and Mumbai, is known for marrying Indian classics with cutting-edge molecular gastronomy. Apart from avant-garde elements like chai foams and spherified pearls of yogurt, the chaat dishes on the menu—dahi bada (fried lentil dumplings dunked in yogurt), ghughni chaat, which is an Odian and Bengali preparation of curried chickpeas topped with a smattering of chillies, onions and coriander, and papdi chaat (a medley of crisps, sweet and tangy sauces, yogurt, potatoes and pomegranate) get a similar treatment.
Where: Ground Floor, Bandra Kurla Complex Road, G Block BKC, Bandra Kurla Complex, Bandra East, Mumbai. 

Jamavar 

Jamavar in The Leela Palace Bengaluru is one of the few North Indian restaurants down south serving up stellar fare from the region, and their chaat offerings are no different. Take your pick from the bharwaan aloo tikki, where thick potato patties are filled with spiced green peas, kurkuri aloo papdi chaat that has golden deep-fried potato cubes and whole wheat crisps tossed with tamarind sauce, herbs and spices, or the irresistible paan palak ki chaat, which has crispy betel and spinach leaves doused with tamarind and mint chutney and yogurt.
Where: Lobby level, The Leela Palace Bengaluru, 23, HAL Old Airport Road, Bengaluru
