“CHASKA” literally means “Obsession”, and mine is an obsession with Indian street food. Looking back on my childhood in India, some of my favourite memories are those of family road trips to different cities to visit friends and relatives. These trips were a feast for the senses; from the vivid colours and artistry of the trucks we would pass along the way and the distinctive sounds of their horns, to the delicious flavours and aromas of the street food. Each place we would go offered a unique street food experience where I developed my passion for favourites such as chaat, kathi rolls, samosas and tava chicken.
Now, the authentic street food experience that I remember as a young boy is brought to life for you at CHASKA. We offer a different take on Indian food that is both delicious and fresh, prepared daily using savoury spices, with flavourful herbs and marinades in place of rich and heavy sauces.
All of our recipes have been developed with passion, and spiced to perfection. We invite you to be a food explorer at CHASKA, and make Indian street food your obsession.

OUR SAMOSA
SECRET
While samosas are a staple on menus at Indian restaurants across Canada, they can often be somewhat bland and flavourless. Our secret samosa recipe originates from the Seth family matriarch Sarla Seth, a passionate homemaker who enjoyed the company of family & friends and loved cooking delicious food for them. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2019, however, her personal recipe of samosa lives on. Chaska has earned rave reviews for its trademark samosas because of Sarla’s authentic recipe and cooking technique.
