Testimonials
Excellent food, excellent experience! I could tell the moment I walked in and the aromas of the spices hit my senses that I had made the right choice for my destination tonight! Highly recommend that you make this your next choice for lunch or dinner. I will definitely be back many more times!
I love Chowrastha. I have visited five or six times now with family, friends, and as take out. They are always welcoming and the food always tastes great. I especially love coming at lunch time for the buffet with coworkers to just get to try everything. The atmosphere and the decorations are cool and inviting.
First time here and was impressed by the options on the lunch buffet including a whole section of vegetarian offerings. Flavor was great! I like that the menu is posted on social media. Super friendly staff. Very clean! I'll be back to try it again for sure!
