The Chana Chalupa reinvents street-food classics by placing a spiced chickpea (chana) masala inside a crispy, fried puffed bhatura shell, layered with cool yogurt, sweet-tangy chutneys, and fresh cilantro for a complete balance of textures and temperatures.
Yes, over half of the menu caters to vegetarian diets, including popular small plates like Aloo Tikki and Onion Pakoras, as well as mains like Paneer Nirvana and Palak Paneer. Gluten-free options are also prevalent, spanning spiced wings, chicken tandoori, curries, and signature beverages.
The kitchen combines classic Indian spice blends and curries with unconventional formats, such as Mac & Cheese Pakoras made with chickpea batter, Dosa Quesadillas layered with potato masala and cheese, and Paneer Masala loaded fries.
The most celebrated dessert is the house-made Rasmalai Cheesecake ($9.00), which blends saffron, cardamom, and soft rasmalai textures into a silky cheesecake. Guests also enjoy the warm, syrup-soaked Gulab Jamun with toasted coconut ($6.00).
Metered street parking is available along Melrose Avenue directly outside the bistro. If street spots are full during busy dinner hours, paid public lots on adjacent side blocks offer convenient alternative parking for around $12.
