I don't understand some of the negative reviews here. We were looking for chaat options in south FL area and was recommended by someone to try Chotu. The place. The two boys working both their names is Shivam and were really sweet and kind. We really liked the food here. The bombay sandwich and vada pau is a must try. The dahi puri was really good.

It was difficult to find a good Indian restaurant in Miami. We found this and tried almost all the street food items, everything was beyond tasty. Samosa, aloo tikki, vada pav, paneer kathi roll, all of them tasted even better than some places in India. Nishank was really sweet and served us well.

A Taste of Mumbai in the Heart of Miami Dining at Chotu Miami was a delightful experience. The food is truly excellent, capturing the vibrant and authentic flavors of Mumbai with remarkable accuracy. From the spices to the presentation, every detail evokes the lively street food culture and culinary richness of India. The atmosphere adds to the charm, genuinely giving the vibes of being in Mumbai. We love coming here, and it has quickly become one of our favorite spots. Chotu Miami is highly recommended to all—just give it a try, and you’ll walk away with a memorable taste that feels straight from the streets of Mumbai.

Great place near to international convention centre which gives it an edge as many Indians/Asian who attend exhibition can get lunch or dinner from this joint. I tried paneer tikka kathi roll and chicken tikka thali. Kathi roll is awesome 5 but I felt it's bit expensive but may be because of location. Thali was average - dal was below average, samosa was good, chicken tikkar curry was above average. Staff is exceptionally good as they try to make your experience very good.

I absolutely stand by every positive review of this place. This is a hidden gem in Miami, some of the best Indian street food I’ve had outside of India. We had the paneer Kathi roll, samosa, chana masala combo, pav bhaji and Vada pav along with the mango lassi. It’s hard to pick favourites but the samosa and Vada pav definitely stood out because of their intense and uncompromising flavour. Overall, I think the best way to describe their approach to Indian food is those words: intense and uncompromising flavour. Where you have other Indian place skimping on the spice, they don’t hold back. Where you see other place make things sweet and bland, they don’t do that. They’re true to the authentic street food taste of the items they serve, at least the ones we tried. Pretty much went for seconds till we were all more than full. Planning to go there again before we leave Miami for our next destination.

Food: I was craving comfort food and decided to try Chotu Indian Street Food based on good reviews and it definitely lived up to the expectations. We had the Shrimp thali, Chicken thali, Chicken tikka kati wrap, and pav bhaji. The Shrimp thali stood out as the most exceptional, absolutely delicious. The chicken dishes and pav bhaji were also flavorful and enjoyable. Ambience: This spot is located inside a food hall, offering a casual and relaxed setting with a mix of different cuisines around. The seating space is decent and works well for a quick, satisfying meal.

If you're on the lookout for authentic Indian street food with a delightful twist, Chotu is a must-visit. My recent experience here left me thoroughly impressed. I started with the Vada Pav, and let me tell you, it was an explosion of flavors. The spice level was off the charts, in the best way possible. Each bite was impeccably seasoned, and the fiery kick lingered just long enough to make you crave more. Next, I tried the Chole Puri. Unlike the traditional savory version, this dish had a unique sweetness that set it apart. The chole was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of spices, and the puri was light and fluffy. The combination was surprisingly tasty and pleasantly satisfying. Chotu Restaurant has mastered the art of creating traditional dishes with their own signature flair. Whether you're a spice lover or someone who enjoys a touch of sweetness, this place has something special to offer. Highly recommend.

This place is located inside Lincoln eatery - which is like a food court which has multiple self-service restaurants. This was the most authentic Indian flavors in the neighborhood at a fair price. Chotu chicken curry was perfectly flavorful and spiced with Indian chillies. Vada pao was made fresh in-front of us. Our Delhi tastebuds were delighted. Worth every penny! Especially, considering the location being South Beach, where every place is already expensive and adds a 20% service charge by default. P.S. - Masala chai was a relief in the hot weather as well :)
