If you head to Chaat Street expecting to order your favourite curry, you'll have to think again. Owner and chef Vaibhav Vishen is opening Wellingtonian's eyes to Indian cuisine and its wide-ranging street foods, one tapas dish at a time. Chaat are traditional savoury snacks sold by Indian and South Asian street vendors. “These traditional dishes from the streets of India are a combination of textures, spice, and a variety of complex flavours. That is what 'chaat' literally means, to lick, and it’s a blanket term for street food in India,” says Vaibhav.
