On your marks, get set, chaat! Executive Chef Vivek Singh’s Cinnamon Bazaar Richmond is hosting the UK’s first chaat competitive eating challenge this July.

Vivek was the first London chef to elevate this humble Indian street food, offering off the chart chaats. Now a staple on most Indian restaurant menus, it’s a testament to his visionary approach and his latest restaurant, Cinnamon Bazaar Richmond, is inviting chaat lovers and culinary gladiators to take part in the UK’s first Chaat Challenge.

Running exclusively on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 26th July to 1st September and only £10 per person to enter, the UK Chaat Challenge sees diners compete against each other to eat as many colourful Pani Puris – semolina shells filled with tangy sweet and sour water – as they can in just two minutes.

Participants will be fighting to secure pole position on the Top Gear-style leader board for the chance to win a year’s supply of chaat* for six redeemed at any of the Cinnamon Bazaar restaurants, along with a Chaat Samrat certificate naming the winner King or Queen of the Chaat.

This is high energy, fun competitive eating with an MC egging on the contestants against a backdrop of upbeat music under the watchful eye of an impartial adjudicator. Bring your besties (maximum of three spectators) as chaat cheerleaders are positively encouraged!

Think you’ve got what it takes to top the charts and be crowned the best chaat chomper in the country? Enter now, it’s going to be the spiciest event this summer!

Tickets are £10 per person for as many Pani Puris as you can eat in two minutes. Stay on after the challenge and enjoy a complimentary cocktail for the table (maximum of four) when dining.
