Chowrastha - Indian Eatery

Usually, when I pass an Indian restaurant, it's the usual place with chicken tikka masala, some curries and tandoor proteins and biryani. Desi Chowrastha is not that. If you're looking to expand out of the typical Indian fare found in America (read: North Indian), this place is for you. Now, the establishment does have curry. It also has a whole list of biryani, idlli and dosas, desserts, appetizers, and Indian style street snacks / chaat. Excited for my dinner, I ordered the chicken fry biryani ($16.99) and sev puri ($7.49). I took half of the biryani home as leftovers - a testament to their generous portions. The Sev Puri contained crispy fried flour discs and spiced potato topped with condiments. A whole constellation of flavors managed to reside here - spicy, sweet, tangy, savory, s

My experience at Chowrastha Indian Eatery in South End Nashua was quite pleasant, and cultural. Be aware that the vast majority of patrons here are of India and South Asia origin, and that, coupled with the fact that the menu has only meal titles with no description as to the contents (I had to Google everything to figure it out), tells me that this is the real deal; what you may find at their homes or on the street. There is plenty of seating, both booths and tables. The menu is on the wall above the counter. The people here are very friendly if you are comfortable with engaging them. They answered my questions with zeal although there were moments when it was difficult for me to understand. Place, and pay for, your order at the counter, pick a seat, and wait for your name to be called. T

They make the best gutti vankaya pulao in the US! And I’ve tried it in several Chowrastha locations but the taste is inconsistent. This particular location and the one in Virginia make it the best with the right amount of spice and nuttiness from the peanuts and sesame seeds! Highly recommend trying this particular dish. Also got the gutti vankaya biryani but it wasn’t all that great. The raita and salad were excellent though! Love their dahi puri (no sweet yogurt, which I always prefer). Their mint chutney for chaat items is also perfect in taste! Personally didn’t enjoy the karivepaku Jodi vepudu - too saucy and the chicken tastes very processed. Overall I highly recommend the vegetarian section.

Went here for a quick snack. They seem to have good south indian menu with few unique dishes. The food can be served better but they dont seem to bother about it.

Served chicken to us when ordered Chilli gobhi. We are a Jain family. We brought order home and we found we were served chicken. Will be reaching out to better business bureau to take action against this restaurant. We will suggest to never visit or trust this restaurant with your food.
