We tried this place on our way back to IL. We ordered Choolah bowls, one with chicken and other one with fish. This is the first time we tried here. Honestly, it didn’t meet my expectation on the taste. As an Indian, for me it felt like having a bowl of rice with curry and some meat on the side. May be, adding more options to the food menu would have helped. The sauce options were great and tasted good. The curries tasted OK too and the fish tasted delicious . The service was OK as they didn’t suggest anything though we told her that this is our first time. The interiors were good.

I used to come here all the time but today the service was extremely rude and kept staring at me while waiting for my food. Then I open it up and they gave me the most burnt naan I’ve ever seen and tiny portions of chicken and rice. I cannot believe someone packaged up this naan and thought it was remotely edible. It has my whole apartment smelling like it’s on fire.

My Tasty Vegan experience! The food here is extremely fresh and well done! Everything tasted amazing and is spotless clean! people behind the counter were so friendly and even gave us a free drink! The manager/owner came out just to talk to me about the vegan options and help me understand the menu.

Beautiful atmosphere. It’s so bright and full of character inside. The staff was amicable and helped me figure out how to order. I didn’t mind waiting for my food because I had just checked all the wall art.

I’d call this a Indian version of Chipotle. Good concept but taste and flavors could be improved. Worth a shot though.

I got the ‘Perfect Balance Bowl’ with white rice, chicken, chickpea masala, & the mixed veg. I also got the tamarind apple sauce and a side of naan. It was really good. I was skeptical of fast food Indian, but it was really flavorful and well cooked. Every different component of the bowl had a different flavor profile. The staff were really friendly and answered all my questions. The bowl was a big portion. I can’t speak to its authentic-ness, but I really enjoyed the bowl.

– What you will do if you don’t get what you order? We order Choolah Bowl and finally we got “Daal bhat”

The prices are insane for the portions. You are paying marble room prices if you compare portions. My bowl was $26 and i was not even satisfied. They do not give you enough food it’s very tiny chins portions for outrageous prices. Maybe I’m New York City i can see this being ok but they will not last in Cleveland
