The food was absolutely delicious. Both my son and I loved our dishes. The restaurant itself is pretty with a quiet atmosphere, which is enjoyable. Thanks!

The food is authentic Indian/SAsian. The restaurant lives up to its name. Delicious Chatni (chutneys) with papad and other food very good too. Very nice staff.

Two of our party sat on a bench / booth seat. Another party sat on the other side of the booth seat and constantly leaned back - hard forcing me forward toward my table.

It was a great little spot amidst what has become a bustling Montclair restaurant district. My wife and I enjoyed our meal(doggie bag worthy portions) as well as the service.

Like the food and the costumer service

BYOB places are the best as they concentrate on the quality & quantity of the food. They exceeded in both areas. The chicken & fish (Salmon) tandoori were moist & not overcooked & the pieces were lg. Their "free" appetizer of the flat Non bread w/a tri-bowl of toppings was an unexpected bonus.

Great service. Great food.
September 6, 2016
my only complaint is that they need to update the restaurant and really clean up the space. it looks a little messy in the kitchen which is open.
July 10, 2016

June 2, 2016
Our server/staff were courteous, the patio environment was very pleasant.
May 17, 2016
Food is pretty good, but we do find that each time something does not quite conform to the menu description. For example, Chicken Haribali (sp?)i was listed as having spinach and a pesto sauce. It tasted good but was a strange green color (looked more like food coloring) and no spinach visible, no pesto sauce - same red sauce as the wife's Chicken Tikka Kabob (which was good).
May 3, 2016
Excellent food and service. The ambiance was good, and we were able to speak with one another easily without background noise.
April 16, 2016
Delicious food, excellent courteous service, and convenient prices

Wonderful service from the staff and the food was perfect.
February 15, 2016
It was terrible. It was freezing in the restaurant and when we asked they said it was too expensive to put up the heat. We sat with our coats on.
February 14, 2016
Good food good service. Welcoming staff

We ordered for take out. The food was delicious. Our children loved the sweet corn soup!
July 16, 2015
No bkgd music was awkward. Service friendly but slow. Food was good but not the best Indian food in the area.
July 13, 2015
The only thing missing was background music
July 5, 2015
Did not eat in but the restaurant was warm with no ac on. Service is a little slow food not ready when you get there need more help.

December 6, 2014

August 9, 2014
Great food and pleasant staff
August 3, 2014
Food is good but service is terrible. One girl running around to tables inside and out. We werent in a rush but after a while it gets annoying waiting so long for the simplest thing such as the check so you can pay and finally get out. The place needs more attentive help. The restaurant fills up all the tables with the same customers for the whole evening so they cant be making money.
August 2, 2014
The food was delicious and the people that work there were friendly, attentive, and very welcoming.

March 24, 2014
Nice spot. Food is also decent. would eat here again
March 16, 2014
Not spicy and was really mild
March 3, 2014
The spiciness of the food is pretty inconsistent. Appetizer was spicy and entree was not at all, both were order medium. Other than that, the atmosphere is nice and service is good.
March 1, 2014
We love this restaurant for dine in as well as take out. The meal portions are a bit on the small side but the flavor makes up for that.
February 6, 2014
The lentil soup and mango lassi are wonderful. The lamb in the Josh Rogan (sp?) was a bit tough, but it was very tasty. Service was good and atmosphere is nice, with cloth tablecloth & napkins. Indian music was a bit strange, but soothing after awhile.
February 1, 2014
Exceptional food! Service was very good, though not phenomenal; server had a hard time answering questions about the menu and did not offer to get somebody else to help us. Otherwise it was a wonderful evening and we would go back in a heartbeat.
January 11, 2014
Food and service were very good. Can't wait to go back.
January 5, 2014
The food was tasty and we liked. The price seems to be bit higher than the other indian restuarants in and around parsippany.

Very friendly staff, and delicious food, including several non-veg options
October 25, 2013
Warm atmosphere - even outside, when we were there over the warmer months. There is no feeling of being rushed. Elegant, yet casual.
October 23, 2013
Best bindi masala I've ever had!
October 20, 2013
It would be great if they had some background music as the atmosphere is very quiet. Some classical Indian music would really help set the ambience.
October 16, 2013
The food is delicious and authentic, but the atmosphere and staff leaves something to be desired. I'm all for keeping it in the family, but when half the people (especially those waiting on you) don't speak English, it's very frustrating. Pretty slow service and they pretty much disappear except for the girl coming around with water. The music went off 5 minutes after we entered and never went back on. I asked, but they didn't understand me and turned on a ceiling fan instead. It made for an awkward environment since everyone was trying to be quiet and not hear one another's conversations.
September 30, 2013
Our favorite place. Pleasant people, pleasant atmosphere, and great food
September 27, 2013
Just a really good delicious enjoyable experience.
September 20, 2013
The naan was great and we both really enjoyed our entrees
August 28, 2013
Food is good with a lot of options. For you authentic Indian lovers order it extra spicy. I got medium and though it was the perfect amount of kick and flavor. Automatic gratuity for restaurant.com users was calculated from the discounted bill, I left more cash for the waitress and the owner took it and said they all pool tips. She was the only waitress working and deserved the tip for serving my table, so because of the shady business practices Chatni receives only 3 stars when everything else was very good
July 26, 2013
Staff and food were awesome
July 23, 2013
excellent service
July 21, 2013
The service was horrible, our server came by almost 10 minutes after being seated even though the restaurant wasn't even busy & never came by us again only to bring our food which took an hour to come. Food wasn't anything spectacular after the hour wait.
June 26, 2013
The service was very slow. They forgot to get our second appetizer and asked if we still wanted it while we were having our entrees.
June 19, 2013
Fresh and delicious food. Friendly staff. Great place.
June 16, 2013
Came for Father's day and thoroughly enjoyed it.
June 2, 2013
the food is always great. our friends are picky eaters and never thought they would enjoy Indian food. well, they love it and want to try all the different things on the menu. so, we will be going often to try all the wonderful foods on the menu. Also, the staff and atmosphere is great.
May 19, 2013
It was a nice place. The staff was friendly. Food was good. It was a bit empty for a Saturday prime time and in a place like Montclair. That surprised us a bit. But, I am not worried about it.
May 2, 2013
The restaurant interior looks nice, the food was tasty and the waitress very friendly.
May 1, 2013
Nice place with good food and a lot of options, especially for vegetarians.
April 12, 2013
Best Indian in Montclair. Lots of vegetarian/tofu options.
April 7, 2013
we've eaten indian food at a number of places but the food at chatni is the best. everything we've had there is excellent. the service is also the best. Pleasant, friendly and efficient. we love the waitress because she makes our experience all the better. it's our new favorite.
April 6, 2013
Food good, restaurant itself was lovely. Good selection of food, and prices were very reasonable. Our samosas and biryani were very good. Tandoor chicken was a bit dry, and service staff seemed a bit harried at times. I chalk that up to the fact that the restaurant is quite new, and expect that to improve. Owner was there to make sure everything was running smoothly and patrons were happy.
March 16, 2013
Food was excellent. Maybe get rid of the empty display case?
February 27, 2013
Cute restaurant, friendly staff, good food. Stay away from the tiramisu. It was served partly frozen and was store bought and not very good.
February 17, 2013
Superb restaurant. The atmosphere was perfect for a cold winter evening. Food was wonderful, and our server was sweet and attentive. We will definitely be back for more.
January 28, 2013
Amazing chicken curry, service was great, very clean and inexpensive. Perfection!
January 21, 2013
Food was excellent! Well worth the Restaurant.com certificate!
January 16, 2013
The food was tasty and the aromas coming from the kitchen throughout the night were amazing. The only slight hiccup was that after being seated, no one offered us a menu for about 5 minutes. However, when the manager realized this, he immediately came over and offered 10% off the check. For the rest of the night, he was extremely attentive and really tried to give all the diners there a great experience. I heard him offer the large party one table over complimentary dessert as a thank you.

Enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.
