| - This concept is just so cool. The best way to describe Choolaah to those who may be unfamiliar is "Chipotle, but for Indian food." While this is not a perfect comparison, it paints a picture. You can create a bowl, a salad, a wrap, etc. They also have samosas and other options for nibbles.
On my very first visit, I ordered the Choolaah salad topped with veggies and tofu. The Choolaah salad was very impressive for a fast-casual restaurant concept. In addition to the usual lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers, there were also golden raisins and picked onions on top. The addition of the veggies and tofu turned that salad into quite a lot of satisfying food. I would've loved some more greens to make it feel more like a salad, but honestly, complaining that a salad was too hearty is not really a complaint at all. I topped my salad with the Choolaah ranch, which packed the perfect amount of heat. However, there was a lot of flavor in that salad, so the dressing was barely necessary--just a nice bonus.
The samosas were yummy, but I have had better. I dipped them in the Choolaah Fire sauce for a delicious kick. Actually, one of my favorite parts about Choolaah was the available additions--a variety of sauces, chopped red onions, peppers, and lemon wedges were provided to add to any dish.
At the end of the day, you can get a delicious plate of food at Choolaah. The naan is bomb, the flavors are bold, and the concept is very strong overall. Try the black lentil masala for something a little different, and be sure to add that Choolaah Fire sauce to any and all things.
