Chulha

RAMAN VERMA 16 months ago

We came here after a hike from Karnala fort in the Evening. First this is a fancy restaurant, they pay special attention to food presentation ideas. We had to wait for almost 30-40 min for the food to arrive. The food was descent. I feel this place is not recommended if you are dire hungry. Its a good place for a casual date or for discussion.

Further the seating is very uncomfortable. The table design is very bad. I felt it was very uneasy to eat the entire dinner.

I've heard about Chulha a lot and been recommended about the same a lot in the last couple of years so I finally decided to give it a visit on my Dad's birthday this year.

The place is quite fancy given the view you get from the 14th Floor. We chose a place near the window and found it extravagant to sit there and enjoy our food.
(Sadly the seats are really uncomfortable. Maybe its a psychological hack that they just don't want the people to enjoy the view endlessly.)

We ordered Chicken Manchow Soup. The soup was quite tasty and not overloaded with garlic which some restaurants do. But sadly the fried noodles were sour. Which I understand was due to the noodles which had turned stale and then they were fried to avoid wastage.

We asked for recommendations from our server and he recommended Banjara Kebab and Dilkhush kebab. But we had already tried those umpteen times in other restaurants so we rather went for Murgh Maharaja Kebab. It was Chicken Tikka Kebab which was in turn wrapped with Chicken Seekh Kebab. We found the description quite fancy and ordered that. Were served 6 pieces of it. Honestly taste was great but wasn't really value for money. And was on the drier side so had to compensate with the green Chutney and lemon.

Then we ordered Java Style Chicken Lollipop which was really tasty. Though there was no hint of Thai flavor in it. It simply felt it was tossed in Schezwan Sauce.

We then saw Sizzlers on the menu and were really tempted to order the same. So we ordered a Chilli Basil Chicken Sizzler. The quantity was humongous. We were three people and initially I thought only 2 would be able to share but the portion size was more than enough for 3 people. Noodles were sadly soggy and overboiled and sauce was a bit bland for my palette. But it didn't matter much it was tasty.

I ordered a Chicken Tikka Biryani and again the portion size was more than enough for 2 people.

Our total bill was around 2200. And I feel it was all in all a good experience.

Only downside being the server being a bit too smart. Servers are generally preferred to be humble but he did talk back to us when we complained about being made to wait for over 30 to 40 minutes for our food even when only one other table was there at the restaurant.

Visited this place with my friends & had a great time. Food & ambiance was good, we tried murg maharaja, murg musallam with garlic, butter Naan and the most amazing, tasty Chicken Lollipop. Lollipop was so good it's highly recommended do try! We also tried mocktails namely Virgin mojito and fruit punch, overall everything was good ✅????????
