About CHAAT
CHAAT is the Indian restaurant of Rosewood Hong Kong, on the hotel's fifth floor at 18 Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui1,2. It opened in mid-2020 under founding chef Manav Tuli, who had trained in Kerala, cooked for Oberoi Hotels and opened Chutney Mary in London before coming to Hong Kong4,6. Gaurav Kuthari now leads the kitchen as chef de cuisine, and the hotel says he brings regional Indian flavours and his own heritage to the menu1,6.
The cooking takes Indian street snacks and classic dishes and gives them a polished, refined finish2,5. Diners can order à la carte or choose a tasting menu, and there are also vegetarian tasting and vegan menus and a set lunch from Tuesday to Friday1. The kitchen is built around three tandoor ovens4. The room has harbour views and a lively mood, and Tatler compares a meal there to a celebration more than a formal tasting5.
CHAAT has held one Michelin star in every Hong Kong and Macau guide from 2022 to 20261,2. SCMP called it one of the hottest places in town where booking is essential, and Foodie still calls it one of the toughest bookings in Hong Kong years after it opened3,6. Reservations open on the first day of each month at 10am for the next two months, by phone and online1.

- Rich curries such as the Goan pork cheek vindaloo, a pick for spice lovers, and the Old Delhi butter chicken.3,4,6
- The chocolate naan for dessert, which SCMP pairs with port and a 2021 Foodie review said not to leave without trying.3,4

- A lively room with harbour views and cocktails built on Indian spices and pantry ingredients.5
