Chaat Haus is an independent Indian restaurant on The Broadway in Bedford, offering a modern and distinctive take on Indian cuisine. Created by award-winning chef Anwar Miah, the restaurant places a particular emphasis on chaat, a popular style of Indian street food, while also offering a wider selection of contemporary and traditional Indian dishes.
Chaat is at the heart of the experience, with dishes designed to combine different flavours, textures and spices in one plate. Rather than following the format of a typical Indian restaurant, the menu encourages diners to explore and share a selection of dishes, making it a particularly good choice when eating with friends or family and wanting to try several different things.
There is plenty of variety beyond the chaat menu too, with dishes including curries, seafood, chicken, lamb and vegetarian options. Popular choices include Manchurian chicken, Bengali fish fries, Bombay firecracker prawns, kebab roll chaat and a range of traditional Indian dishes. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are also available.
The restaurant’s atmosphere is another part of the appeal. Chaat Haus has a modern, colourful interior and a lively feel, creating more of an experience than a straightforward curry-house meal. The combination of presentation, bold flavours and attentive service has helped it build a strong reputation, with Chaat Haus currently holding a 4.9 rating on Tripadvisor from more than 200 reviews and a Travellers’ Choice award.
It is also family-friendly and suitable for groups, making it a versatile choice for everything from a family meal to an evening with friends. The restaurant offers eat-in and takeaway options, while its central location on The Broadway means it is easy to combine with other things to do around Bedford town centre.
For visitors looking to discover Bedford’s independent food scene, Chaat Haus is particularly worth considering. It offers something different from a conventional Indian restaurant, with its focus on fresh ingredients, creative chaat dishes and bold combinations of flavour.
