Chaat Mandi

Chaat Mandi serves Indian street food and snacks in Morrisville, on Hatches Pond Lane. The menu is built around chaat, the food its founders grew up eating with friends at shopping centers back home, and the flavors follow from that.

That is the register the place works in: small plates, sharp flavors, dishes meant to be shared across a table. The kitchen is run by a chef who has cooked well outside India, and the range on the menu follows from it. It suits a group.
