Chulha Chauki da Dhaba | Rajajinagar

Came here for a chill dinner, ended up in a 45-minute waiting line… but honestly, worth every minute. 😅 Starters were top-tier — crispy, juicy, full flavour. Veg and non-veg both solid! Love that they use no MSG or artificial colours — my stomach appreciated that. Lachha Paratha with Chicken Lahsuniya and the Mutton Biryani were full-on flavour bombs. Even with the crowd, service was surprisingly fast. Masala Chaas, Lassi and Beeda = perfect ending. Overall: Super dhaba vibes, great food, quick service. Would wait again.

Absolutely shameful experience. This restaurant has gone from being a decent dhaba-style place to an overpriced scam surviving purely on old reputation and fake hype. I have visited this place multiple times over the years, and every single thing …food quality, quantity, service, and hospitality has become worse while the prices have become absurdly high. The staff behaviour was disgusting. Especially the supervisor… arrogant, rude, argumentative, and completely unfit to work in hospitality. Instead of accepting their mistake, he had the audacity to argue with customers and blame us for their delayed and poorly managed service. No professionalism, no courtesy, no basic respect. We first ordered an aloo paratha, lassi, and masala soda and asked for some time before deciding the mains. After 10–15 minutes we ordered Angara Chicken and garlic naan separately. Yet after another 20 minutes, they dumped the entire order together on the table. When questioned, the supervisor started giving stupid excuses and arguing like roadside staff with zero hospitality training. Now the food absolutely pathetic. The aloo paratha was embarrassing. Just plain boiled potato stuffed inside dry dough with barely any salt or flavour. No coriander , no seasoning, no effort. Even roadside stalls make better parathas than this overpriced nonsense. The masala soda was horrible. It tasted like someone emptied half a packet of jaljeera into soda and served it without even tasting it. The lassi was the only thing remotely drinkable. And the biggest joke of the night their so-called “Murg Angara.” Charging ₹400+ for that garbage should honestly be illegal. Tiny quantity, hardly two proper chicken pieces, rest all microscopic cubes drowned in thick red chilli paste pretending to be gravy. No smokey flavour, no richness, no balance. It tasted like boiled chicken mixed with cheap ready-made masala and artificial colour. Completely fake dish marketed with fancy names. What’s worse is they proudly claim “no MSG” and “natural ingredients” while serving gravy full of colour and cheap masala taste. Completely misleading customers. As someone who actually understands food and hospitality, this place is nothing but a money-making machine fooling people with inflated prices and fake branding. They have clearly become arrogant after getting famous. Zero taste. Zero hospitality. Zero value for money. The staff only cared about bigger groups and ignored smaller tables completely. No one attended our table after dropping the food. Even after payment, the staff and supervisor kept staring and making faces at us because we questioned their pathetic service. This restaurant seriously deserves complaints to FSSAI and consumer rights authorities for misleading customers with fake quality claims, pathetic service standards, poor food quality, and unreasonable pricing for such garbage food. Never visiting again. Never recommending this place again. Save your money, time, and mood. There are far better places serving actual food with actual hospitality.

Had a really lovely experience here. The Chicken Tikka Masala was the star of the meal – rich, creamy gravy with just the right amount of spice, and the chicken was tender and perfectly cooked. The Tandoori Kabab came out hot and juicy with a great smoky flavour and char, not dry at all like many places. The Garlic Naan was soft, buttery, and loaded with garlic – perfect for soaking up the curry. Portions were generous for the price, and the food tasted fresh. Service was friendly and quick, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving solid North Indian flavours, especially the chicken tikka masala, tandoori kabab, and garlic naan.
