Review:

Chauhan Ale and Masala House is a delightfully quirky Indian restaurant located in a former garage, with exposed brick walls which are covered with projections of scenes from Bollywood movies. It is celebrity chef Maneet Chauhan’s playground, the place where she lives out her vision of the fusion of American Southern and Indian street cuisine. Dishes such as Lamb Keema Papadi Nachos and Tandoori Chicken Poutine are probably making some of her ancestors turn in their graves, but they work.

The flavors are as quirky as the restaurant itself, spices you would never think of putting together do not fight, but blend to create memorable flavors. This is all before you even get to the drinks. Wild combinations of alcohols, spices, vegetables and fruits produce cocktails and even brews that will make you smile, and you will have to try them. More than one. If you are on a mission to try their burger, you are in for a thrill; their lamb mint burger is made of kebab spiced lamb and mushrooms, and served with masala fries or spiced farro.
