Me and my daughter ate here for the first time last week. She had never had any sort of Indian food before and had no idea what to order. The girl at the restaurant was soooo informative and explained everything to her and was so patient. Once we got our meals they were hot and very flavorful. Neither one of us could finish everything and we stayed full for the rest of the afternoon.

Choolah left me underwhelmed. The restaurant had a vibrant atmosphere, and the staff was friendly, but the food was a letdown. The flavors were muddled and lacked the distinct spices that make Indian cuisine so special.

Ordered delivery through Uber. We were appalled at the difference in portion sizes between the two Choolaah bowls. My husband ordered chicken with rice and I ordered paneer with half brown rice and half super greens. Just because I ordered the “healthy” option doesn’t mean I want less food overall. If it’s the same “bowl” at the same price, there should be the same amount of food. Plus the “super greens” were mostly just sad lettuce. Portions aside, the bowls tasted mediocre.

I’ve never had Indian food, and I’m sure this isn’t super traditional, but I really really enjoyed this place. Was a way better alternative than the local chipotle. Really happy I tried it and I can’t wait to go back. I LOVED the spicy sauces they offer. If you’re on the fence, try it!!

For a fast food spot I was incredibly impressed at how they were able to pack such an enormous amount of explosive flavors into a dish in such a short amount of time! I’ve come to really love and appreciate Indian food this year, and Choolaah delivers! The Mango Lemonade is amazing!!!!

Let me tell you about my experience. I walked in not knowing what to Expect… The menu was a bit intimidating for an amateur in the Indian Food. I shook my head and started heading to the door. Gracie stopped and asked if I needed anything, I said the menu was a big overwhelming and I was probably gonna head next door. She asked if I wanted her to walk me through the Menu, which I agreed. I am very happy that she stopped me from walking out the door. She talked me into a meal, and it was beyond expectations. I will be back, and I’m bringing friends!

The food was fresh and delicious. A nice person in front was happy to explain what I wasn’t familiar with. They have 4 real tandoori ovens where they cook the meat and the naan bread. They have roasted vegetables! It’s so nice to have new, really good healthy options. It’s a little like an Indian food Chipotle, which is great because it’s faster than a full sit down place but you can get a good full meal with appetizers and even ice cream! So glad I found it!

It was inevitable that someone would take Indian food and give it the Chipotle treatment. That is what this chain is. You walk in and have a limited selection of bowls and wraps to choose from. You build your own from their selection of fillers and proteins, sides and so forth. While the combinations you can come up with give you a fair amount of variety, anyone who is familiar with Indian food will recognize how limited this approach truly is.

Highly recommending Choolaah! It’s a quick, healthy meal while out shopping in Robinson. I ordered the balance bowl with chicken, rice, yellow lentils, and roasted veg (sweet potato, zucchini, cauliflower). It was so flavorful and I was pleasantly very full. Extremely clean restaurant and great service too!
