| - Having seen the long lines outside this place the past few weekends since this place opened, I was dying to try to see if it was worth the hype. IT DEFINITELY WAS. I guess they market themselves as a "Chipotle for Indian Food", which would be accurate. You get to pick a protein, then add it to a signature bowl or create your own... and there are sooo many choices! I got the chicken tikka Choolaah bowl with greens and brown rice, my friends got the lamb Choolaah bowl and paneer Choolaah bowl with naan and black lentil daal. The food is fresh, flavorful and served hot... with a variety of chutneys to add to your liking. I personally doused my paneer and lamb with the mint chutney, which tasted as good as homemade. The ambience and decor of this place are incredible, very modern and unique with accents of Indian pop art. The coolest thing is that you can see the naan being cooked in the tandoors right in front of you. The food hit the spot, and the service was also very good. I highly, highly recommend this place if you're looking for a quick Indian food fix that's not the nasty, generic stuff they serve at most Indian restaurants (especially buffets) in the U.S.. huge props to the owners for this cool concept fast casual restaurant! OH! Also, the mango lassi was deeeeelish!
