From Chulha To Choolaah.

Every day in ancient northern India, people gathered around a community oven or "sanja chulha" to share their stories. Fresh-baked breads, hot from tandoor ovens, were served with warmth and love. Choolaah is a fresh take on this timeless experience of sitting, sharing and savoring good company and good food, every day.

From Chulha To Choolaah.

Every day in ancient northern India, people gathered around a community oven or "sanja chulha" to share their stories.

Yum for Everyone

Nothing else is Choolaah. Ancient tandoor cooking methods, a modern commitment to good health and the booming popularity of Indian cuisine make Choolaah exotically familiar. Audaciously American. Authentically unconventional. Comfortably non-conformist. But always made and eaten with joy.

Where does the Joy Come From?

In the timeless Indian tradition of welcoming everyone with a smile, our co-CEOs Raji and Randhir are committed to delivering food people love to eat, compulsively rave about and want to come back for every day. Whether we’re behind the counter or behind the scenes at Choolaah, the joy is baked in.

Is Choolaah Spicy?

Using bright, authentic spices imported direct from India, we make sure you taste flavor, not fire. Choolaah is yummy for everyone: you, your friends, your kids, even Grandma. Heat seekers can add our homemade chili sauce to spice things up.

What If I’m Vegetarian?

Oooh, you’ll love Choolaah’s many veggie options. The luscious Paneer Tikka Masala is full of cheesy-good protein. Our salads are made to order in countless veggie and vegan friendly combinations. Or order up a Tofu Perfect Balance Bowl, Veggie Samosas or the classic Pav Bhaji.

What Makes It So Good?

Our custom built tandoor clay ovens cook our premium sourced chicken and salmon at very high temps sealing in the juices and producing a uniquely succulent tandoori taste. Our melt-in-your mouth BBQ is deeply marinated with the best imported indian spices, creating a truly unique experience. Yum on!
