| - Sing it with me, "Choolaah, Choolaah! Choolaah, Choolaah!" Okay, do you know how many East Indian restaurants that I have been to? A lot! Not only that, I have quite a number of co-workers who are superb cooks whose curries, vindaloos and biryanis would put most restaurant's food to shame. In other words please don't serve me naan bread, curry or a biryani that has been sitting around for 8 years. To me, restaurants should treat their customers like their favorite family members. In other words, restaurants shouldn't serve you something that they wouldn't eat themselves. That's why Choolaah is such a departure from the average (And I do mean "average" East Indian style) restaurant where food sits on a hot table FOREVER!
I would rather have a little bit of a wait for fresh food rather than have old food served to me quickly. As soon as you step into Choolaah, you get the impression that everything is fresh. The design of the place is fresh, the wait staff always seems to be freshly enthusiastic about you being their customer and most of all, the food tastes EXTREMELY fresh! Fresh, I tells ya! So fresh that you can actually see items being made and being taken out of the tandoori ovens. Yay! It's rare to see that happening at most inexpensively priced restaurants where the owners actually WANT you to see how they prepare food and what goes into everything. (It seems like the more honest the restaurant is about how they prepare food, the more expensive the food is...) And I like the fact that you can find something to eat here whether you are a meat eater, pescatarian, vegetarian or vegan. How sweet is that? And no one there tries to make you feel guilty about any of your food choices. (I'm so sick and tired of vegans looking at me with disgust on their faces because I eat almost everything. Hey, my parents grew up during the Great Depression and me and my siblings didn't get the chance to opt out of various food groups. You ate what was presented to you or you faced it again during your next meal. End of story!)
You can have one of their tandoor oven BBQ meals with meat, fish or vegetarian options (tofu and veggie BBQ OR you can have a wrap or salad with one of the previously mentioned options. You can also have a specialty dish (E.g.,Masala Bowl with yellow lentils and rice, Chicken Biryani or Pav Bhaji - vegetarian sliders) And don't forget to try out their various sauces. (I'm a sauce-a-holic and so is my daughter Muff. We tried everything and used every sauce in the place in our quest to find "the" perfect sauce. Woo, Lord!) And don't forget to wash your food down with one of their lovely drinks (E.g., Mint Ginger Lemonade or one of their lassies).
Is it "authentic" East Indian food? No, but who cares? It's tasty and reasonably priced and FRESH!
