خانه شمس چات

Karachi is famous for its ethnic street food and this place is certainly one of them. They offer a variety of chana chaat, pani poori (aka gol gappay), dahi poori, bhel poori and many more combinations of their secret recipe. Their consistency of taste is exceptional. For their chana chaat, they recommend not to mix which is very different from all other places. They have also improved their services and now parcel stuff is given in disposable boxes instead of plastic bags. They also have decent space for dine in.

Nice place to enjoy some Karachi style street food that 'you shouldn't mix' to enjoy the true flavour.

I recently visited Shams Chaat House in Karachi and was delighted by their offerings. Known for serving the best mixed chaat in the city, this place truly lives up to its reputation.

The mixed chaat was an explosion of flavors and textures, with a perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and sweet elements. Each component, from the crisp papri to the fresh vegetables and well-seasoned chickpeas, was harmoniously blended. The addition of creamy yogurt and zesty chutneys elevated the dish, making every bite a treat.

Equally impressive was their paani puri. The puris were light and crisp, filled with a delicious and refreshing blend of spicy water, tamarind chutney, and flavorful fillings. The puris remained perfectly crisp until the last bite, offering a satisfying crunch and burst of flavors.

Overall, Shams Chaat House provides an exceptional chaat experience. If you’re in Karachi and craving authentic and flavorful street food, their mixed chaat and paani puri are must-tries. This place is a gem for chaat lovers and guarantees a delightful culinary experience.

Speciality of the chart is they dont allow to mix the chart with spoon or any how.. but the its good to taste

One of the oldest chat house in Karachi.
Worth a try !

Menu and taste:
They have a huge variety in their menu...
We ordered meethi Puri, mixed chaat and khattay aalu. Latter two were fine, but I'm afraid the chaat lacked taste. You might want to have it customised according to your taste.

Ambience:
You might not want to go there again if you give importance ambience.

Cleanliness:
You might want to take your own crockery there if you are a hygiene freak.

Service: Quick service

Shams Chaat House in Karachi serves some of the tastiest chaat I’ve ever had. I’ve been enjoying their delicious chaat since I was a kid, and it still tastes just as great. The place could use some improvement in terms of its environment, but I don’t mind because the chaat is so good. If you’re a fan of mouthwatering chaat, Shams Chaat House is the place to be!
