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.

Excellent food, especially loved the crispy spicy cauliflower appetizer (which wasn’t very spicy ) and the lamb curry. The daal makhani was also very tasty. We also had the chicken naan, very tasty but could have been cooked in the tandoori for a few more seconds. The chicken inside the naan was awesome Similar to its sister restaurant Rasa except has generous out door seating and slightly more spacious indoor seating. Both have slightly different menus with equally excellent food Service was outstanding. Noise was not bothersome at all. Restaurant was extremely handicap friendly
ChaskaResponded on June 23, 2025
Mark. Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the food and appreciate your feedback on the chicken naan. We strive to offer both excellent food and a comfortable, accessible dining experience and we are glad that we hit the spot. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to the team. Looking forward to your next visit!

We’ve been here before and unfortunately tonight wasn’t the best. The samosa chaat appetizer definitely changed. It was in more of a soupy liquid which made it mushy. The chili cauliflower was just mediocre. I don’t think we’ll be rushing back. The waitress also seemed upset that we were only ordering appetizers.

Olivia. We apologize for the inconsistencies in the food quality and in the behavior of the waitress. We don't stand for those standards and will work hard to give you a better experience next time around.

As always, the service, food, and attention to detail are terrific. Great unobtrusive service and delicious food keep us coming back. The only drawback for me is the background noise. It’s unavoidable but totally understandable.

Hello Brian. Thank you so much for your kind words and for continuing to be a loyal guest! We're thrilled to hear that the service and food consistently hit the mark for you. We appreciate your understanding on background noise. We’ll do our best to keep providing a fantastic experience, and we can’t wait to welcome you back!
