Why a spork?

Indian food is meant to be eaten with your hands.  Most food served at Vik’s contain curries, chutneys and yogurt, so eating with just your hands can be tricky.  Spoons help get to the curries and such while the fork can be helpful in breaking off a piece of tandoori chicken or cutting into a kathi roll, both tasks can be accomplished with a spork!  Vik’s has been using sporks since its inception and moving away from sporks would just be “un-Vik’s” of us.  Help reduce waste, support the spork.

Vik’s Chaat has proudly been serving chaat for over 20 years. Vik’s offers many regional chaat dishes from different parts of India.  Over 2000 dishes are served each day to customers coming from near and far.

Vik’s Chaat started out in 1989 as a small area of Vik’s Retail Store, located inside a warehouse in the commercial district of Berkeley.  Over the years, its popularity grew and people began coming from miles around for Vik’s Chaat.  In 2004, Vik’s Chaat expanded to accommodate customers who were lining up for the various Indian savory snacks. 

In 2009, Vik’s Chaat & Market moved to a new location, two blocks south of its original location.  The new location is larger and brighter than its previous location, yet aesthetically is still a warehouse.  

Vik’s Chaat  is a family-run business dedicated to preserving the tradition of eating chaat using fresh ingredients and making each dish as it is ordered.   Vik’s has proudly served fresh, traditional dishes for over 22 years, and refuses to compromise quality.  Produce is chopped daily,  we knead dough every morning,  and each samosa is prepared by hand, all so that customers enjoy chaat the way it should be…fresh.
