Vik’s Chaat Corner

A meal at this enormous West Berkeley warehouse feels a bit like eating in a food court. You order your Indian street food at the counter, pick up your metal tray (or, more likely, trays) from one of several pick-up stations, then find a seat in the large cafeteria-style hall. This casual–and loud—place is a great option for just light snacks and big meals that should definitely include well-stuffed samosas, savory uttapam, the lamb biryani, and puris covered in yogurt and tamarind chutney. It also doubles as a market, so pick up rice, frozen paneer wraps, biscuits, or teas before heading out.
