Enjoyed the curries and aloo naan we ordered. Aloo naan and chicken choley stole the show with their mix of spices. Palak dal was great. Lamb seekh kebab was not bad but won’t order again (they look a bit… log-ish?). The restaurant seems very understaffed, but...Read More

If you’re on the lookout for good Tandoori chicken, look no more. It was succulent, juicy and flavorful. We also had the butter naan and chicken curry. The naan was nice and the chicken curry tasted like something you would make in any Indian home....Read More

Very tasty and generous portions for specials. The naan was large and generous- soft, fluffy, warm, delish. Mango lassi was creamy, just the right tart and sweet. The service was friendly.

The neighborhood needed a solid Pakistani option. And here we are. You're not coming here for the ambiance or whatever. You're coming here for a plate packed with flavors. I really enjoyed the massive biryani plate. A little kick, but not too much. The okra dish...Read More

This place has the best Tandoori Chicken. They recently started Beef seekh kebab, and that's yummy! When we want Indian dishes, we always head to Chaska despite there been many other Indian restaurants in Richmond.

Omg my new favorite Indian spot in the Bay. Super rich, flavorful dishes and the prices are great for the city. The Tikka masala was insane. They told us a bit about their cooking process and how they marinate certain dishes the night before and...Read More
