Bombay Chaat in St. Louis – Vegan Street Eats at Bombay Food Junkies
What is Chaat?
The word chaat comes from Hindi, meaning “to lick”—a nod to how irresistible these street snacks are. Across India, every region has its own chaats: from the bustling lanes of Bombay and Delhi to the flavors of Kolkata and Indore. Bombay, though, is the beating heart of this culture, known for snacks that are bold, tangy, spicy, and utterly addictive. At Bombay Food Junkies, we recreate these classics with a fresh, vegan twist—serving authentic comfort that feels both familiar and new.

Flavor Profiles You’ll Crave
Indian chaats are famous for balancing contrasts—and ours are no exception. Expect tangy, spicy, sweet, crunchy, and fresh all in one bite. Our hand-blended chutneys—tamarind, mint, garlic, and chili-ginger—layer flavor into every dish. Pairing cold soy yogurt with warm, spiced snacks creates a playful mix of temperature and texture. Every plate is bold, colorful, and distinctly Bombay, crafted with a vegan twist that doesn’t compromise on taste.
Authenticity Meets Local Love
Bombay Food Junkies was founded by Bombay natives Krupa and Sid, who grew up surrounded by the vibrant flavors of Indian street food. In 2013, we became St. Louis’s first 100% vegetarian Indian food truck, bringing chaat culture to the Midwest. Since then, we’ve grown into a full-time, fully plant-based restaurant, rooted in sustainability and beloved by the community. Our story is one of tradition, passion, and local connection—serving real Bombay flavors with heart.
