CHULAH INDIAN HEARTH & BAR

Excellent Indian food — everything we tried was genuinely impressive. The Lamb Mughlai was the standout: super tender pieces of lamb in a rich, mildly spiced sauce that felt comforting without being heavy. Easily one of the best lamb dishes I’ve had locally. The Chicken Tikka Masala was another hit — creamy, balanced, and perfect with their naan. Don’t skip the butter naan or garlic naan; both were warm, soft, and perfectly blistered. We also started with the onion samosas, which were crispy, flavorful, and not greasy. To finish, we had the kulfi — absolutely delicious. My daughter ate it before I could even take a photo, which says everything. Friendly service, clean and welcoming space, and everything tasted freshly made. We’ll definitely be back.

Wow. Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish! This restaurant completely exceeded our expectations. Every single dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and authenticity. We ordered the 65 Chicken, the Biryani, and the Butter Chicken Masala — and honestly, each dish was outstanding. The 65 Chicken had the perfect balance of spice and crispiness. The Biryani was fragrant, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. And the Butter Chicken Masala was rich, creamy, and incredibly satisfying — one of the best we’ve ever had! We also ordered the garlic naan, and it was so good that we had to get an extra order to go! Perfectly warm, soft, buttery, and full of flavor — it paired beautifully with every dish. To drink, we tried their Masala Chai, M

Fantastic Indian Fusion Spot! Tried last night and it was a highlight. Modern, cozy vibe with great lighting and music. Cocktails were creative Service friendly and quick, portions generous, prices reasonable ($18–26 mains). Creative twists on Indian classics without losing soul. Definitely going back for that Gulab Jamun Cheesecake. Highly recommend

The food was perfectly prepared. Even dishes I don't typically enjoy were delicious. If you're considering going here for the first time, stop reading this review and go. The parking, service, and atmosphere were all great, but I cannot possibly overstate how amazing every dish was that my table ordered. Even my picky 12 year old found something she absolutely loved (the chicken wok-tossed noodles). The chicken tikka samosa appetizer was amazing. My wife was blown away by the Dal Tadka. The lamb tikka masala was the best I've had in St. Louis. We also had an order of fried rice to share at the table. It was also great. Portion sizes are very generous with reasonable pricing. There were plenty of leftovers to take home. We plan to return many times.

A friend of mine took me to Chulah today, and I'm so glad he did. It is amazing! Everything, the food (Vijayawada chicken biryani entree) was so good! The service was great, and the atmosphere is great! Get out and try this place!
