A menu with varied options at reasonable price point and portion size. The Indian crowd and the menu teleports to India. Everything I tasted was good, satiating my Indian taste buds. However, Special mention to the snacks and juices section. Snacks are always served hot and juices, fresh. The ambience is also perfect with so much natural lighting and bright colours. Service is also quick and easy. No mess. Great to come with friends, family, alone, anyhow.

I recently visited the restaurant that offers a South Indian breakfast buffet also, and it was fantastic. The food quality was excellent, with a wide variety of traditional dishes like dosa, idli, and vada, all freshly made. The flavors were authentic, and everything was perfectly spiced. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience enjoyable. If you're looking for a delicious South Indian breakfast, this place is a must-visit!

The pineapple pastry was tasted just like the one I was craving for: the one you get at local Indian bakeries:) so big thank you for that! Moreover the garlic naan was so warm and fresh even in delivery and so was the spicy paneer tikka masala!

Very Recently I’ve visited this place, this place is very authentic to our Indian culture. I have visited this place no of times but, I feel something is missing in this place, but now I am fully satisfied with this place, because they got the snack items like laddu,kajjikaya, ravvaladdu (made up of suji), atukula mixture, chakralu (or) murukulu with these type of items this house is fully equipped with the Indian authentic stuff. I really really recommend this place to visit once and you never disappoint with this restaurant. They have every thing in their house to satisfy us. They are ready with their food, we have to taste it once.

Excellent, just like the amazing food back home in India! They take their spices very seriously, so if you want less spicy, let them know in advance. The chaat is also very good - and I have very high standards when it comes to chaat. The South Indian food is Andhra style - they serve it with peanut chutney and ginger chutney. Lots of items for both North Indian and South Indian lovers. Very large vegetarian section and desserts are eggless. They make fresh juice blended in front of you!

Food was really Amazing... The taste and texture is good. And the "Ambience" is soo nice, we feel like we are in our local area in India,not in America. Service is good. Especially,when they come to our table with food,they are greeting us with a lovely smile . I like that. "Don't compare with others," it's a unique one. So, please go and enjoy the food.

Chowrastha is one of our go-to spots for delicious Indian street food! Every time we’ve been there, we’ve had a great experience. It’s a casual place with counter service, which makes it easy for a quick meal or a relaxed outing. Some of our absolute favorite dishes include the masala dosa, paneer dosa, chicken tikka dosa, paneer tikka, achari chicken tikka, hariyali chicken, paneer frankie, mango faluda, and Irani chai—just to name a few. The flavors are bold and authentic, and everything tastes fresh and flavorful. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. If you ever don’t like something, they’re happy to make it right, which we really appreciate—it shows they truly care about the customer experience. A heads-up: the food tends to be on the spicier side, so it helps to have the right expectations if you're sensitive to heat. But if you love spice, you’re in for a treat! Highly recommend this spot if you're craving flavorful Indian food in a laid-back setting.

A lovely first time experience. Do try the Dhaba style chicken. The very kind staff will make recommendations. We also had a lentil soup and the garlic Naan. Generous portions. Can't wait to come back.
