Love having an Indian version of chipotle in Ohio city with plenty of parking lot options. I love that they have mango lassi and fresh naan here ( I do wish the naan was more buttery). Prices do add up since naan and a lot of other sides aren't included but worth it as a casual but nice treat for yourself. Lamb up-charge I personally don't think is worth it....it was $3 extra and it was dry. The spicy chicken is moist though and does have quick the kick which I loved!

A great, interesting restaurant with good-tasting food, fast service, and a ton of food for an extremely affordable price of $45 combined with a friend (see picture below). We recently went here for a weeknight dinner and we were able to place and receive our large order in 10 minutes. We each got our own mains and shared whole wheat and plain naan, mini samosas, and pav bhaj. All were fantastic, especially the naans. I got a Choolaah bowl with chicken, rice, vegetables and spicy sauces. The portion size was great, plenty of well-cooked chicken, and a good ratio of other ingredients to the chicken. I would highly recommend Choolaah for the next time you're looking for fast, casual food!

Yum and yum. I have walked and driven by this location countless times without a single clue about the delicious joy that awaited inside. A friend shared her meal from Choolah with me one day and I was wide eyed once I saw her yummy plate. I enjoyed it so much - especially the generous portions and flavorful menu options - and have been back twice in the past couple of weeks (don't judge!). Heads up that one meal is honestly enough for 2 or to at least split between lunch and dinner. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the naan bread which is so disappointing because it's usually the more naan, the better. However, Choolah's naan has a heaping sprinkling of black sesame seeds on which ruins it for me. Personal preference though. Thus far I have only tried the chicken but look forward to tasting some of their other protein options. Also, if you love spicy, this is the place for you. Plenty of sauce options to heat up your palette. Will surely be back soon!

I am a man on the run. Living on borrowed time. I do not often have time for the pageantry of sitting at a table or bar, having a server wait on me. Time waits for no man. I come to Choolaah when I want some Indian food on the run. The OMG sauce is pretty hot. I like to do the bowl with roasted veggies and chicken. Seems healthy and for around $13 it isn't a bad deal. The only downside is looking next door to Town Hall. Wish we could replace Town Hall with Tink Holl.

Absolutely love Choolaah for an Indian flare on to go food, it hits the spot. So many options for every dietary restriction. The lady who works up front is so sweet. I've visited this location multiple times and am always greeted with a smile. She makes my day better sometimes. I usually get a wrap of some sort. The chickpea wrap is my favorite. They also have a cool hand washing station that I suggest trying if you haven't. Def needed when eating a wrap. If you find yourself in Ohio City give them a try.

I ordered through DoorDash. I travel to CLE for work and it's so nice to have a healthy option nearby. Choolaah offers lighter and vegan options and it's delicious. Everything came well packaged, including a biodegradable bowl. People were oooing and ahhhing over the mango lemonade when it arrived. Sorry peeps - you should have ordered from Choolaah!

Choolaah will always get olaah-of my moolah! LOL! Their food including the vegetarian options are delicious! Although the serving style is self-serve, the staff has always been friendly and professional. I also love the modern-cultural ambiance of the restaurant and highly recommend stopping by for something fulfilling, healthy, authentic, and fast.
