Jalebi is repeatedly praised for being hot, thin and crisp, with some diners calling it the best they have had in Dubai.
The chaat aims for Delhi street-style flavour, with gol gappe, aloo tikki and palak chaat receiving especially specific praise.
The menu covers more than snacks: diners mention dal makhani, paneer dishes, rajma, soya chaap and breads for a fuller meal.
Several reviews describe the staff as polite, attentive and quick, contributing to a comfortable meal when service is running smoothly.
Reviews describe a lively, welcoming setting suited to relaxed family dining rather than a formal fine-dining meal.
Beyond North Indian favourites, the chaat menu includes less familiar regional combinations and creative takes on pani puri.

“We unknowingly ordered an unlimited thali, and no terms or restrictions were explained at the time of ordering. Our simple requests (no sweets, alternative curry, or even curd) were refused, and the food was served after a 30-minute delay during working hours. The quality did not justify the price.”

Order Jalebi. Do not leave without trying the jalebi; reviewers say it is made fresh to order and stays hot and crunchy.
Try Combos. Use the combo options if you want to sample several sweet, spicy and tangy chaat flavours without ordering each separately.
Check Bill. Review the bill carefully before paying, particularly if you brought outside drinks; one diner reported two unrequested Pepsi charges.
Allow Time. Build in extra time at busy periods: a review reports service can slow during peak hours, while others waited over 30 minutes.
Share Dishes. Consider sharing if ordering several items, as some diners found portions small or expensive compared with the quantity served.
Try Rabri. Pair the fresh jalebi with rabri; reviewers describe the rabri as thick and creamy and say it complements the dessert well.

Multiple diners feel prices are high for the portions; one reported paying AED 70 for chole bhature and pav bhaji.
Some visits involved waits of over 30 minutes, including one during working hours when the restaurant was not busy.
Not every visit delivers hot, fresh food: complaints include cold dishes, stale kachori and reheated bhature.
Three reviews report being charged for drinks they did not order, including Pepsi charges linked to outside beverages.
One review says seating can feel constrained for larger groups, especially alongside slower service during busy periods.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Chatori Gali in Al Barsha is a vegetarian Indian restaurant where you can combine street-food snacks with a proper North Indian meal. The strongest draw is jalebi: reviewers describe it as freshly made, hot, thin and crisp, and particularly good with rabri. Gol gappe, aloo tikki and palak chaat are other specifically praised choices, while dal makhani, paneer dishes and breads make the menu more substantial than a quick snack stop.
The setting is generally described as clean, comfortable and lively, with several diners praising friendly, quick service. It can work for family dining, although seating is said to be limited for larger groups. Combo options are useful if you want to try several sweet, spicy and tangy chaat flavours in one visit.
There is some inconsistency. A number of reviews mention prices feeling high for the portions, and complaints include cold or stale food and waits of more than 30 minutes. One review reported an undisclosed thali policy that prevented packing leftovers.
Several diners also reported unrequested drink charges, so check the bill carefully before paying. For a first visit, go for the jalebi with rabri and allow extra time at peak hours.
