| - Chipotle wanna-be! Literally copied the concept. You start with rice (white or brown), in a bowl or wrap, choose from two kinds of beans (chick peas, kidney beans), add protein (chix, beef, tofu, potatoes), add curries (tomato, onion, coconut), add toppings (pickled onions, tomato cucumber salad, cilantro, hot vinegar) then add sauce (tamarind, cilantro-mint, yogurt) and finally topping of onion fritter or papad.
It was just mediocre. The three "different" curries all pretty much had same flavors.
The whole chipotle concept just does not work for Indian food. At least not for me. It was a giant bowl of mush.
The cilantro chutney was frozen and thawed. How can you not serve fresh chutney?
The "chapati" - the namesake of the restaurant is a tortilla. C'mon ....seriously? Its like Joes Texas BBQ serving frozen chicken nuggets!! If you name your restaurant Chapati then the least u can do is serve real fresh made chapati. Hopefully they are working on this.
Staff was totally un-trained. The kids working there could not answer any questions.
Price is not bad.....chipotle.... Remember. All main entrees are $6.65 to $6.95.
The good thing they have going is the location. On campus of Cleveland state university. So there will be no shortage of customers wanting a giant bowl of food for $7. Especially the Indian students!!
