I stopped in for lunch with a coworker on a busy pre-holiday weekday. After 10 light cycles (no exaggeration) getting off 271S, we were able to make our way towards Choolaah. I was dying of hunger after waiting in traffic for so long, and I was happy to see that the long line to order was moving quickly. Although compared to Chipotle, here you order and are given a buzzer that lights up once your food is ready. This helps to prevent a log jam at the counter. Things I loved: - How items are clearly labeled as vegan, vegetarian, etc. - Quick service - nearly as soon as I ordered, by buzzer went off and I was able to get my food - The food was very solid - I had samosas and the chick pea masala - The hand washing machine was kind of a neat feature Things that could be better: - The person taking my order wasn't aware of what's vegan or not - it was a little hard to distinguish between the dark green vegetarian dot label on the menu and the light green vegan dot on the menu, and when I asked about an item, the person ringing me out wasn't sure. - The well meaning manager (I think?) asked us how things were going nearly as soon as we sat down with our food. I told him we hadn't even had a chance to try everything, and he proceeded to ask me how to improve things. I appreciate that he wanted my feedback, but... - The location. Getting to anything on Chagrin is as painful as jabbing a needle in your eye because of the ever present traffic. Thankfully service was fast, otherwise lunch would have turned into a really long lunch. Overall, I think this is a great new fast casual concept and I hope to see them succeed. I especially hope they can open other locations in less grid-locked areas. read more

They mint lemonade I'll drive out of my way to get. Great place. Very nice atmosphere.

It is what it says it is ... Fast casual Indian .. The naan was very good and so was the tikka masala sauce. The salmon was good as well. The lamb meatballs very dry and no flavor and no white meat chicken .. Not good in my book. The service was great and it is a cool building. So, it's not going to be as good as my favorite Indian restaurant, but works for fast casual. Real problem and why it got three stars is the value prop is not there. In my opinion the prices are way too high for the quantity for my Bbq dinner. The bowl may be a much better value. So no white meat chicken and high prices = 3 stars. That said ... worth a try because not sure I have ever seen Indian fast casual anywhere... Even LA. read more

Choolaah - Cool place - Indian Near Me - Beachwood, Ohio

Choolah's is my family's favorite for quick Indian food. We stop by at least once every couple of weeks. My kids love the chicken and rice with a side of Tikka Masala and some naan bread. Their salad is excellent with the ginger tamarind dressing and you can never go wrong with the Samosas. The nice thing is that the food is excellent quality and they found the ability to serve it quickly in a fast food type setting. I'm so thankful they decided to open back up for inside dining again. Even through all of the staffing shortages everybody has experienced, they've been able to provide excellent service. Finally, one other thing that I am thankful for are their veteran parking spots. It's nice recognition and makes veterans feel special...thank you! read more

Choolaah please come to Minneapolis! I loved everything about this place, and I suspect a lot of you do too. All sorts of groups were eating and taking out on the night I ate at Choolaah, and this hits a wonderful sweet spot of being easy/safe enough for the people in your life who may not eat a lot of Indian food (Hi Mom!) and a full kids menu for your pizza needs and being purely awesome for those of us that just need get our tikka on. The menu is obviously not as complex and varied as a full Indian restaurant (and with good reason; Indian dishes are often harder to master and more complicated to cook than many cuisines) but what they are doing they are doing very very well. read more

Fast food Indian? I loved it! We ordered the tikka plate, chaat and biryani. Everything had a nice flavor and I was happy to get a side of hot sauce to spice things up. Overall, it was mild for non spicy food lovers but everything was fresh and flavorful. Great for Indian food lovers and as a gateway for those less exposed to it. Cheap. Fast. Modern. Fusion. Convenient. I want one on the west side! I'd eat it often! read more

Choolaah - Byrani and chaat-both very good! - Indian Near Me - Beachwood, Ohio

EDIT: I said the tikka masala bowls and sauce sizes were dramatically reduced. I didn't mention anything about how naan is extra now too. You also never private messaged me like you stated you would. I'm highly disappointed in how portion sizes have been dramatically reduced. The sauce sizes are half of what they used to be. Now, the tikka masks containers are half the size of what they used to be. Prices have been increasing while sizes have been decreasing. The food used to be worth coming to, but now I don't see that validating remaining a loyal customer as I feel like I'm getting scammed now. I always used to recommend this place to my friends and have helped increase the business here dramatically, but I will not do this anymore. Profits aren't always as important as loyal customers who have been visiting for over five years. read more

Wow this place definitely exceeded my expectations. We came on rec from two locals (who just happened to be Indian). I expected to be served "Americanized" (aka less pungent spices and less hot-ness) but boy was I wrong. We started with the samosa chaat (4 huge pieces with just the right amount of chutney. Their chickpeas were to die for). This dish was best with their house hot sauce. We also got the tandoori chicken platter (I could have done without the rice since you get a wheat naan with it). Their wheat naan is topped with cilantro. It's definitely on the crisper side than I would like but I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be like a crostini for the tikka masala side. I like that the tikka is less creamy and more tomato based. This dish is the best with their lava hot sauce. We also got the lamb meatball wrap. The meatballs were super juicy and flavorful (though my bf who is Indian thought the above two were more authentic). I liked how this naan was pillowy soft. This tasted the best with raita as well as the lava sauce. We add a lot of red onion (soaked in lemon) and jalapeño on both dishes. We ended with the chai (it is pre sweetened). I prefer mine with more cardamom but still good. The service is great- there is even wet wipes around the restaurant. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. read more

For my part, I love that the Chipotle model has spread to other forms of ethnic cuisine! To have options for quick-service food that is diverse and healthy is a wonderful thing and Choolah excels at this. On our first visit earlier this week we tried two of the BBQ Plates: Lamb Meatballs and Vegetable Croquettes, with Naan and Chana Masala on the side. The Vegetable Croquettes (think a breaded dumpling of Samosa filling) were tasty, light and not at all greasy. The rice was perfectly done. The Naan was on the crispy side, but very tasty. The Chana Masala was as flavorful as I could have hoped. The sauces that came on the side were well-paired and full of flavor. Get the hot sauce on the side - it's great! The interior, which also borrows heavily from the Chipotle model, is bright and modern. I loved the feature where you can see directly into the kitchen from the dining area. It's a fun touch! Plus, it is SPOTLESS in there! I look forward to coming back and trying other items on the menu. Choolah is a great option for a quick, affordable, healthy meal. read more

Absolutely loved my food. I ordered the lettuce wraps with chicken. I wanted to try the mint yogurt sauce so they swapped one of the included sauces for it and I am so glad they did. The naan bread was hot, fresh and oh so tasty...all the food was. This will be one of my new go to easy lunch places. Well done! read more

Great Indian BBQ around Cleveland. Inside has a great decorations and nice setup. Food was amazing, ordered the chicken choolah bowl with lentil along with butter naan and mango lemonade. The chicken bowl was great along with the butter naan which came with spicy mango side dressing. The mango lemonade was one of the best lemonade I ever try with real mango flavor and large amount. Will definitely stop by when I pass by Cleveland. read more

This place is innovative! The moment you walk in, you realize this is not your typical indian restaurant. The building itself along with the marketing deserves accolades. I found myself wanting to buy their tshirts. The tandoori ovens are openly displayed and are quite a spectacle. The menu is concise and you wont find saag panneer or aloo gobi here. What you will find is well executed "barbecue" chicken, delicious tikka masala sauce and nearly perfect naan. There are no waiters, you order at the counter so its similar to a "panera" concept. I cannot wait to go back and try the lamb and paneer. read more

Choolaah - Chicken bbq with tikka masala sauce, plus a side of naan - Indian Near Me - Beachwood, Ohio

Color me surprised to find decent Indian food in Ohio, especially when it's described as "fast food." I got a paneer tikka masala, my mom got a chicken plate. I really enjoyed the sauces on the side, especially the mint yogurt; I tried the Choolah Fire sauce and was disappointed at how mild it was. Alas. I do like me some spice. Everything I ate was tasty and well-sized; I left feeling full but not bloated, despite having eaten every last bite. I almost opted to get a mango lassi, but once I saw that customize-your-own soda machine, I knew I had to just get that. I'm a sucker for pressing buttons. I wish I had one of these places near me so I could hit them up for weekday lunches; it's the perfect quick meal that is super satisfying and doesn't drain your wallet. read more

At first glance, Choolaah looks like a Chipotle so I was instantly drawn to it, but when I read the sign it said Indian cuisine so HAD to try it! I've never heard of a fast-casual Indian restaurant, nor never ate Indian food by choice (there aren't many restaurants). Once I walked in I spoke to the manager at the register and he said this is the first location, but they are looking to put another location in Virginia within the next year. The menu has a lot of choices, but I went with the go-to and recommended chicken bbq bowl with tikka masala sauce and wheat nan. My husband got the same, but with lamb meatballs. The chicken was also served with a side of chipotle mango sauce and the lamb came with a mint yogurt sauce. We poured half of our masala sauce on our dishes which were served over a bed of rice. We ate the rest of the masala with our nan. Wow! It was awesome. My chicken was nice and tender and the meatballs were on point. The sauces really tied the dishes together. Plus the portions were huge and they were priced relatively well ($8-9). I now live in North Carolina, but if I still lived in Ohio I would become a regular. The atmosphere of this place is also awesome. Again it reminded me of a fancier Chipotle. What I loved the most is that there is a glass wall where you can see the people preparing the food along with the fresh ingredients in the fridge. They also had a nice outdoor patio and the restaurant was a pretty good size. Overall I would highly recommend Choolaah for anyone who wanted to try Indian food for the first time or just try something different! read more

Overall very impressed with this place! They did fast food Indian right with a very affordable menu. The decor is super trendy including a hand washing spa and a very confusing pop machine. The food was overall well cooked...we tried the chicken tikka plate which was very flavorful, next I want to try the salmon tikka. The chaat was also delicious. The biriyani was only so-so (I wouldn't recommend). The sides were pretty good...some at our table thought the lentils were bland but I liked it. Will definitely be back and am looking forward to other potential locations! read more

Choolah is like Indian street food + chipotle to me. I love the ambiance and interiors and the service has consistently been good. It's not really like home cooked Indian food - though it is equally good, just different good. You walk in, order at front desk, when buzzer buzzes you go grab your food and sit wherever you like (inside or sunroom-ish or outside). For apps/to share, we like their Samosa Chaat. Four smaller samosas (than usual) with chutneys - a good starter. I am a big fan of their BBQ meals - my fav combo is chicken with wheat naan and chickpea masala. I love their hot sauce. They have recently changed how their chicken BBQ/tandoori is served/cut. I wish they'd go back to how it was before. Their biryani is very good too. I wish it was served with a bigger serving of raita. And when done eating (or before) do check out their hand wash jacuzzi. Restrooms are always clean. Parking is easy and abundant. So, do I like it - yeah! Would I keep going back - yes! Is there room for improvement - yup! Go visit Choolah if you haven't already and do say hello to eeny, meeny, miny, moe! read more

Choolaah - Chicken platter - Indian Near Me - Beachwood, Ohio

This was one for my favorite lunch places on the east side when I worked in Beachwood. There are a lot of different options but love the paneer, choolaah bowl, and tofu. The Pav Bhaji is a vegetarian option that comes with grilled bread and is delicious. For Indian food it is not very spicy unless you specifically ask for it / in the sauces, so it is a great option for pretty much anyone. read more

First thought... Chipotle, Indian style! The references on previous posts make evident that I'm not the only one who noticed. Pretty awesome new place. It seems Chipotle has really inspired food entrepreneurs to emulate their model. And, why not?... It works! With that said, it'll be difficult to post a review without making comparisons to Chipotle. Although, the ordering process is a bit different. They take your order at the counter and they give you a pager. Your food is prepared in the kitchen, which is visible behind this glass wall. They have these vase-like stone ovens where they grill the meats. Pretty cool! Tried the chicken tikka, biryani bowl, mango lassi and choolaah chai. All were very good. Chicken was very well prepared and very flavorful. Love the spices and the touch of cilantro. Prices are a bit higher than Chipotle - and because of this, the only thing I can think of that may have been lacking for me was that I wish Choolaah would have been a little more generous with their portions. Will definitely be back. Tip: try to wrap your head around how the long table made with books in the front was made. read more

Choolaah - Chicken tikka and biryani bowl, with mango lassi and choolaah chai. Yum! - Indian Near Me - Beachwood, Ohio

I wish I could give Choolah more than 5 stars. I tried Choolah for the first time a couple years ago and since then, its beautiful, large, chunky pieces of perfectly grilled paneer have helped to mark many a special occasion in my life. A bunch of friends and I ran a half marathon and the first thing we did after? That's right, we all went to Choolah. It's a special, special place. Pretty much one of the greatest things about Cleveland. The piece de resistance at Choolah (for me and I'm mostly veggie) is their paneer tikka. These are not those microscopic pieces of paneer that you have to fish around for at some Indian buffets. These are HUGE, grilled, perfectly seasoned cubes of paneer. The paneer tikka sandwich and the paneer tikka masala are both amazing. Also great: their chai. Nothing like an afternoon chai from Choolah. Hidden attraction: Other than the cool handwashers, please take a moment to appreciate that beautiful long table made of books!! Wish I knew where it came from! read more

Indian Chipotle is awesome. Fast-casual, American palate friendly Indian food. Cool, clean, modern decor. A freaking hand bidet or whatever they call it. What's not to love? My go-to is the chicken tikka masala bowl with naan on the side. The rice, nice and soft. The chicken, tender with a satisfyingly smoky flavor. The sauce, mild yet extremely flavorful. The naan is the perfect add-on to dip and finish the leftover tikka masala sauce. It's so good I can't bring myself to try other things on the menu, though that chicken pot pie style biryani looks interesting. I will say the samosa is kind of lacking, and the menu overall is a little pricey for what you get, but I suppose it's region appropriate. Do yourself a favor and give Choolaah a try. You don't have to be a fan of Indian food to enjoy it. read more

This place takes a very interesting and successful approach to fast casual (think chipotle or panera). You enter and order from a cashier, and your options include BBQ plates, bowls (like a burrito bowl), sandwiches/ wraps, and salads. There are also desserts on the menu (I think mango lassi), but I didn't get the chance to try those. After you order, you get a little beeper thing, and you go find a seat until it buzzes, and you get your food. For me it only took about 5 min. At the recommendation of the person taking our order, each person I was with ordered the BBQ plate, which comes on a big bed of rice, has a side of naan, large sauce, and small sauce on the side. I had the paneer, which was definitely better than paneer I get at the Indian buffets around here. I got a tika masala sauce and a mint chutney, which all blended really well. The naan here was amazing, it had some spices on top which added great flavor. Overall, the meal was good, but overloaded on carbs (HUGE bed of rice, big slice of naan) and had no veggie option. That's why I give 4 stars instead of 5. I left feeling overstuffed, but that was probably my fault. Next time, I would certainly get a bowl or salad, something lighter and with more veggies. I wouldn't recommend the bowl as a balanced meal. read more

Such delicious, straightforward food. The restaurant design is also very interesting. If I didn't know that it used to be a collision repair center previously I never would have guessed. The only way Choolaah could improve would be to offer a less expensive, smaller serving of the tikka masala sauce (it's around $2 and way more than I need to top my grilled chicken). Other than that - all good! read more

So excited I finally got to try Choolaah! I'll admit that I have never had Indian food before, so I can't tell you if it's authentic or not, but I can say that this is delicious! I ordered one of the bowls (tikka masala) with chicken. At first I didn't think it would be enough food to fill me up, but it definitely did. Next time I'm excited to try the wraps. One thing I've heard from others is that Choolaah gets very crowded around 5-7pm, so try to get there early (we went there for a late lunch and there was no wait). read more

Finally we have a workable business model for a good indian fast food place! If you believe it or not, this is how delicious street food in India is (well a little spicy)! Choolaah is trying real hard to make one of the most delicious cuisines in the world available to the most daring palates in the world! I went there with my family and we had fun figuring our their ordering system. Some of my family members didn't like the idea of toned down Indian flavors to suit the american palate, other enjoyed the novelty and taste. Overall everyone enjoyed something about this place. I will not call it authentic indian food, but all famous ethnic dishes in USA are not authentic according to natives anyways. Its good food at a reasonable price in a very clean facility and still gives you the taste of India. You need to try it to decide for yourself but I will to there again if I am in Cleveland. read more

This was about exactly what I expected. Good, quick, inexpensive food. Not incredibly authentic but extremely enjoyable. I got the chickpea masala. There were a solid handful of non-meat options. He got the lamb meatball barbecue. I got samosas, he got naan. We bot ate for less than 20 dollars. The samosas were great. Crispy, flakey crust, flakey interior. His naan was also excellent--bubbly, buttery and chewy. He enjoyed his lamb. I made the mistake of underestimating the sauce on my chick peas and rice. I added a bunch of hot sauce. Still delicious, just with a little more sweating than I originally signed up for. Delicious. I will be back again, probably for lunch after a morning of grocery shopping. read more

One of a kind in the area. Great spot to go with family, friends, a date, or by yourself. My favorite thing is the yellow lentil daal.

Choolaah - (Not the best photo of) naan on top of chicken tikka masala in the convenient to-go bowl - Indian Near Me - Beachwood, Ohio

Choolaah is by far my favorite restaurant in Beachwood. Hell, it's probably one of my favorite spots in all of Northeast Ohio. The decor is sleek, cheery, and innovative. Every time I go inside, I ogle the long, communal table near the entrance which is partially made out of books. The staff is very friendly. And the food - oh, the food! The Indian food served up at this fast casual style eatery is incredibly delicious. Their yellow lentil daal and chickpea masala are drool-worthy. I'm also a big fan of their pav bhaji - which they've labeled as a side on their menu, but it's definitely large enough to serve as a meal. If you want to increase the spice, drizzle some Choolaah Fire or Choolaah Lava sauce on top of your dish. These will set your taste-buds ablaze. Highly recommend stopping here for a bite to eat! It's too good to pass up. read more

I am just not a fan. This is based on other Indian / Indian fusion places around as well as the cost. I appreciate that folks like the fast food type idea here, but for the amount of money you spend, you just do not get a lot. E.g. I paid around $10 for chicken tika. I told them I just wanted the chicken, no sides. They would not give me the side price, charged for the full meal, which because of diet restrictions I had to toss. And, because I try to do my best for yelp, counted the pieces of 1 inch cubed chicken sitting in the bottom of the bowl. 10. So one dollar per piece of chicken. The flavor is good, no issue here, but just not for what you pay. So the real point is that the folks taking the order either don't know how to best guide a customer along the menu, or don't care to be bothered. Or, they may not be empowered to make those decisions. If you like the industrial look, you will like this place. It is spacious and cool to see the kitchen. I personally find it a bit cold, but it is open with lots of light streaming in. read more

You know a restaurant is a surefire winner when halfway through your bowl of (spoiler alert!) delicious chicken tikka, you go and ask the staff if and when they're planning to open up a franchise where you live. (Answer: not for another 2-3 years, unfortunately :() Location and ambience - near an old car dealership, the inside is spacious with a modern decor and uncluttered seating areas. There are high tables for groups as well as smaller tables. The ambience is casual and it seems to be a family favorite! Menu and ordering procedure - Choolah is a Chipotle style build a bowl place, where they have broken down traditional Indian dishes (chhole, chicken tikka etc) into their components. You order a protein ( fish, chicken, lamb, beans, paneer), a plain or wheat naan and a sauce (tikka, vegetable curry etc). The menu isn't overwhelming unlike a lot of ithe Indian restaurants, and there is a picture of almost every dish on the menu, which is really helpful! There are also lassis (flavored buttermilk), kulfis (creamy dessert) and a few appetizers. Food - I skipped appetizers because the entrées were HUUUGE. I ordered the chicken tandoori + wheat naan + tikka masala. The chicken comes with rice and all three components are served separately. The meal also comes with mango and coriander chutneys. The tandoori chicken was finger licking good! Tender, well marinated and just the right amount of spice. The tikka masala was good, not great until I added the tantalizing Choolah sauce (more on that later). The naan was one of the best I've had here, and as a bonus, it stores well and tastes just as good the next day. I also had the malai kulfis (which seemed to be an in house brand) and was wonderfully creamy without being overpoweringly sweet, and the perfect ending to our meal. Value for money - at just under $10 for a naan, tandoori and curry, this is as value for money as can be! Saving the best for last, the real MVP of our meal was the Choolah sauce which is free but which you have to fill up separately. Add a couple of pumps to your curry for an instant blast of flavor and spice. The only thing disappointing about this place is that it isn't in Chicago yet!! :( read more

Indian food has been my favorite food since I was little, but I've ALWAYS had trouble finding good Indian food in the US, especially as a vegetarian. Choolaah wins though - BROAD vegetarian menu; high quality supplies; filling meals (for low price); unique sauces; AWESOME hot sauce; laid-back, 'fast-food' atmosphere. Although there are lots of Indian restaurants that I love around Cleveland (Indian Delight, Biryani Hut Express, especially) - Choolaah is probably my favorite because the food feels really healthy! I don't feel weighted down after eating it. I get a veggie bowl and samosas, and it feeds me for two meals (making it SUPER reasonable pricing)! For vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, you NEED to get: - ALL of the veggie masala bowls. I literally adore them all. The yellow lentil daal is EXCELLENT - Roasted cauliflower and chickpea wrap - Disclaimer: I HATE samosas.....usually. I am A D D I C T E D to Choolaah's samosas though! Get yourself two orders. Just do it. - SAMOSA CHAAT IS SO @#$@&ING GOOD Note that I enjoyed the tikka masala with veggie croquettes the first time I got it - the second time, the croquettes were pretty dry, so not sure this is always a homerun :( For you carnivores out there: - My fiancee is obsessed with the chicken tikka masala and the lamb wrap, which is kinda hilarious because, honestly....who ever expected to find good lamb at a fast food joint!?! It's definitely the 21st century... THIS REVIEW HAS MADE ME STARVING - I'm going to go get more Choolaah. read more
