What is Streetfood?
or as we
call it Chaat?
Chaat is the heart and soul of Indian street food. A burst of flavors, textures, and emotions in every bite! The word "chaat" comes from the Hindi verb *chaatna*, meaning "to lick," and trust me, you’ll want to lick your plate clean after trying it.
This beloved snack is a harmonious blend of crispy, crunchy, spicy, tangy, and sweet elements. Think crispy fried dough, boiled potatoes, chickpeas, yogurt, chutneys, and a sprinkle of spices, all coming together to create a symphony of flavors. From the iconic **pani puri** to the hearty **papdi chaat**, each dish tells a story of India’s vibrant street food culture.
Chaat isn’t just food—it’s an experience, a celebration of life’s little joys.

Our Story
Saah Paat is Assamese for "Tea Leaf," a nod to my roots in Assam, one of the world’s largest tea-growing regions. Known for its rich, malty flavor and deep aroma, Assam tea is a symbol of warmth and hospitality—values that inspire everything I do.
At Saah Paat, I bring the vibrant flavors of Indian street food to life. Just like homemade food, every dish is made fresh, free from preservatives, and packed with authentic spices and love. India’s diverse culinary landscape means every state adds its own unique spin to dishes, creating an endless variety of flavors and textures.
My mission is to recreate the bustling, flavorful street food experience of India right here in the Netherlands. From crispy pani puri to hearty chaats, every bite is a journey through India’s rich culinary heritage.
Namaste, and welcome to Saah Paat!
Namaste
My name is Neha Jain, and I am a passionate chef, artist, and yoga enthusiast. Born and raised in the culturally rich state of Assam in Northeast India, I have always been deeply connected to the vibrant traditions, flavors, and practices that define my heritage.
As a private chef and caterer, I specialize in crafting intimate dining experiences for up to 25 people. My current focus is on bringing the bold and irresistible flavors of Indian street food to the table, while also experimenting with my own unique recipes for private dining events. I believe food is an art form, and I love exploring the endless possibilities of combining traditional Indian ingredients with innovative techniques to create unforgettable culinary experiences.
Beyond the kitchen, I am deeply committed to sharing the transformative power of Traditional Hatha Yoga Sadhana with my community. I offer free yoga practices to help others connect with their inner selves and find balance in their lives.
As an Indian Classical Dancer (Kathak), I have always been drawn to creative expression, whether through dance, spontaneous doodling, or the meditative practices of yoga and meditation. This artistic sensibility also influences my approach to cooking, where I see each dish as a canvas and every ingredient as a brushstroke.
Food is the gateway to understanding different cultures. Exploring local cuisines and traditions has not only enriched my culinary skills but also deepened my appreciation for the diversity of our world.
Whether it’s through a thoughtfully prepared meal, a yoga session, or a spontaneous doodle, my mission is to inspire, connect, and bring joy to those around me.
