So after reading the reviews for this place, my expectations were pretty high, but wow, did they exceed them!
Right from the start all the staff, especially the owner, were wonderful, they really made you feel welcome and even though the place was packed (like...totally full, we had to wait over 30 minutes for a table) they seemed genuinely happy to have you there.
They really do have such an incredible menu it's hard to pick what to choose. In the end we went for the onion and spinach fritters and the pani puris. Both were delicious, the fritters only had a little drizzle of the tamarind sauce on them when they arrived at the table but when i asked if i could purchase a side of this for the rest of them it was brought out free of charge which i really appreciated.
Those pani puris though. I could literally eat nothing else for the rest of my life and i'd be a happy lady.
For mains we shared the chicken tikka masala and the lamb biryani pie. The tikka was tasty but completely overshadowed by the biryani pie which was just unreal, so much flavor and so much creativity!
We really wanted to order desert because of how amazing the rest of the meal was, but we we're already slipping into a food coma so opted for the bill instead.
Having visited Sauma in Northbridge last month I can confidently say that Chakra wins hands down on ever level (apart from maybe the cocktails) and i cant wait to go back.
A word of advice, be careful with the Indian lollies they give you at the end. I had some of the rose infused date mix, and after all the lovely flavors in my mouth throughout the night, this wasn't the one i would have chosen to leave with :)
Well done guys!!More
