Tucked away in a narrow street in Georgetown, Chaia is a vegetarian taqueria and most tacos can be made vegan by omitting the cheese. It's such a great feeling walking into this bright airy restaurant, knowing you can eat almost everything there! They pride themselves on utilising farm-fresh local and seasonal veggies, which are mixed in innovative and tantalising ways. Going for the Taco Trio is a no-brainer for you get to have a variety of choice.
I chose the butternut squash with fennel, smoky collard greens and mushroom. The gluten-free corn taco shells were freshly made on the spot and served piping hot. My favorite filling was the butternut squash - roasted to melting tenderness and seasoned with a bit of spice. The mushrooms were robust but very salty. Service was efficient and the staff are probably trained on handling the busy lines that stretch to the door.
When in Georgetown, you've got to Chaia it out!
