Our Story
Chatore was born out of a dream, a dream to bring the true essence of Indian street food to Fresno. Founded by Harpreet Singh (Vic Judge), our journey began in the heart of Punjab, where food was never just sustenance but an art form. From the bustling streets of India to the calm corners of Fresno, Harpreet’s vision has always been clear: to create a dining experience that transports you to the vibrant streets of India.
The Journey of Chatore
Growing up in Punjab, food wasn’t just about nourishment; it was about bringing people together, creating memories, and experiencing the burst of flavors that Indian cuisine is famous for. Inspired by the sizzling stalls of Kolle Di Pathi, where Harpreet spent countless hours watching chefs bring dishes to life with an array of spices, he developed an unwavering love for cooking. That love evolved into a mission to redefine Indian street food in America, with Chatore as the result.
After relocating to Fresno, Harpreet found a gap, the lack of authentic, flavorful Indian food. He was determined to fill that gap by offering a true taste of India’s rich culinary heritage, without compromising on taste, quality, or tradition. Every dish at Chatore is crafted with love, expertise, and a deep understanding of what makes Indian food truly special.
