Chakh De India

Tucked into the Kittybrewster corner of Aberdeen, Chakh De India brings the bustle of an Indian street-food cart to the city's north side, trading as a busy local takeaway that locals lean on for a proper curry fix. The kitchen runs the full sweep of classics, from a gently spiced Chicken Tikka to a deep, slow-cooked Lamb Bhuna, with warm Garlic Naan torn straight from the oven to mop up every last bit of sauce.

Beyond the curry-house staples, the real draw here is the chaat counter, where Mumbai favourites like vada pav, bhel-puri and pani-puri add a tangy, snackable twist you won't find on every menu in town. Paneer fans are well looked after too, and the portions are generous enough to share. It's an unfussy, order-and-collect sort of spot rather than a sit-down affair, geared squarely towards feeding the surrounding Kittybrewster and student neighbourhoods quickly and cheaply, and it has built a steady following for its bold, fragrant cooking.
