Chhauka

Went not knowing what to expect and was very pleasantly surprised. Drinks were great and unique. Food was so fresh, beautifully plated and oh the aromatics! Really had a great time and definitely plan to go back for the happy hour!

We visited on their soft-open night. We met the owner Pravine and manager Camillo of this new restaurant along with our server Camille. We were treated like family! We had well made cocktails, garlic naan (bread) that just melted in our mouths, and the butter chicken, sheekh kabob, chicken trio and lemon rice. All fantastic and fresh. We will be going back regularly to this wonderful new restaurant!!!

I wish I took some pictures of the food to include with my review but I just got home and had to write a review about this new gem Food: 5/5 Chickpea & Spinach Chaat - We started with the kale and spinach chaat. Typically I don't order this as it comes out as as soggy mash of ingredients at most Indian restaurants. Not here! It had a wonderfully crispy crust and the flavors of everything went so well together it was the absolute perfect starter. Not too heavy but full of flavor Butter Chicken- This is the first time a butter chicken at a restaurant can compare to what I make at home. Absolutely spectacular and different in every way from any other butter chicken I've had. Super deep tomato flavor and very soft and juicy chicken not that rubbery stuff you get at other Indian spots

Great addition to the downtown area to add some new cuisine. It seems like all of the new places in the area are Mediterranean so it's great to have an excellent Indian food option. We sat at the bar where Evan was fabulous! He runs the cocktail program which is excellent and interesting - not just your basic list with every bar ingredient made in house. The food is more traditional Indian with the best garlic Naan bread we have ever tried. The trio chicken was also outstanding and the sauce on the butter chicken was excellent - not your basic Chicken Masala sauce you get at most Indian places in the USA. The Bar is on the small side but a great vibe overall. Oh, and they have a great happy hour until 6 if I remember correctly!

My husband, our friends and I had an amazing experience at Chhauka — truly some of the best Indian food we’ve had. The flavors were authentic, rich, and made with real love. The mushroom appetizer was absolutely delicious, the kebabs my friends ordered were exquisite, and the tadka dal tasted just like homemade. You can genuinely taste and smell the authenticity in every dish. Kamilo, the manager, was incredibly kind, attentive, interactive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The owner, Parveen Mascarenhas is friendly, experienced, and actively involved in the restaurant, which really shows in the quality and atmosphere. We felt such a warm, positive energy from everyone working there. Just overall a wonderful dining experience from start to finish.
