Chef Palak Patel has opened Atlanta's first vegan Indian street food restaurant, Dash and Chutney, to bring the flavors of India to the city. Growing up in a vegetarian household in India, Chef Patel draws on her upbringing to create a menu that offers traditional Indian dishes with a plant-based twist. She aims to showcase the deliciousness of plant-based food while also promoting sustainability and environmental friendliness.

Located in Chattahoochee Food Works, Dash and Chutney offers a variety of Indian street food dishes such as Samosa Chaat, Vada Pav, and Mumbai grilled cheese sandwiches with unique spice blends. The menu also includes classic Indian snacks, jarred chutneys, and spice sachets.
