About the restaurant

THE CHASKA
EXPERIENCE
Food and drink are two of the most basic needs of human beings. However, as society evolved, food and drink became also a strong cultural aspect, being able to connect and celebrate differences.

CHASKA, a hindi term for obsession, is not just an eatery or a bar. It is an attempt to connect people with good taste for Indian food and drinks, presented with modern flair.

Los Andes always delivers with their food and service! Never had a bad experience and rightfully so. My manager was in town from Texas and loves Peruvian food and he was blown away by the food and his experience. Highly recommend!

About the restaurant

After 28 years we present you India with a fresh new look, a creative menu offering a blend of contemporary and traditional favorites, a new kitchen & team elevating our food and service, and elegant lighting transforming the entire restaurant. Enjoy our Garden Bar and Patio in the summer and cozy fireplace seating in the winter.

America is a melting pot like India was over a 1000 years ago. Being in the US offers a chef a lot of exciting possibilities to play with the ingredients that are not commonly found in India. We are availing these opportunities to create an exciting menu that has a blend of traditional favorites like Chicken Tikka Masala and creative dishes like Bengal Fish Curry (made with Salmon that is not usually found in India). The goal is to present a creative, fresh, nutritious, tasty, flavorful and a balanced meal. Like the 21st century India, we are progressive with our cuisine and not bound by the ‘same-old’ mentality.

One of my favorite brunch spots! Today they had an Easter buffet and it was outstanding. I thought there was a great variety for the price and everything was delicious.
