I liked the food but the water did not taste good but the sprite was bad I did not taste good food was terrible

Looking to grab dinner while we were in Okotoks, we headed to ChaCha's. Not ever having fusion Indian before, I wasn't sure what to expect. I figured I couldn't go wrong with a dish that combined my fave dishes from two cuisines: pasta and butter chicken, and I was not disappointed! The creamy butter sauce and chicken went well with the fettuccine, and the side of naan was perfect for lapping up the remaining sauce on my plate. With so many chain restaurants in the area, it was nice to be able to support a local business read more

Found this gem on Yelp. It's in a strip type mall but the interior was really perfect. We had steak bites with four different sauces for the appetizer. Our meal was Butter chicken and Thai Coconut chicken. The food was delicious and naan bread was fresh and made there! We don't get Indian food back home so this was just what the doctor ordered. Pure Indian perfection! The gentleman that waited on us was great with menu suggestions. Can't wait to come back! read more

Came here for lunch today after reading positive reviews about this place. We ordered curry chicken with rice, order of samosas, curry chicken poutine, and calamari and extra naan bread. The curry was some of the most flavorful I've had. My wife thought it was too tomatoey for her taste.The curry chicken poutine was excellent with a good amount of chicken in it. The calamari was good as well and come with 4 different dipping sauces. One was like a bbq sauce, a garlic and mayo, and a mint sauce, and a sweet chili sauce. Oh yeah the samosas came with sauces as well. The service was friendly, but the food came out a little on the slow side. I guess good food takes time. Not sure if our server was the owner or manager but he suggested if we come back to have one of their burgers. I believe they have both lamb and beef burgers. I'll give them a try again sometime down the road. read more

We arrived without a reservation but had no trouble getting a seat. This should have been our indicator of what was to come alThough in fairness this restaurant seems to have a steady take away clientele. We ordered several appetizers followed by curry bowls. They were out of vegetable samosas. Seriously? The potato fritters and pakora had too much chick pea flour making them dry And mealy. The chicken tiki and mango chicken wings were the best of the lot but even they didn't induce "we want more". The naan bread is too thick and seemed like it had been reheated. The sauce in chickpea curry had been overcooked and had an unpleasant aftertaste. My companions liked their curry bowls of butter chicken, Thai shrimp and chili chicken. We regularly eat Indian food and love it but the cook at this restaurant just doesn't have the understanding of subtle blends of flavours. Service is great. The portions and prices are reasonable. This restaurant should be a home run in Okotoks but until the food improves, I'm not going to that ball park. read more

ChaCha John's Fusion Kitchen - Indian Near Me - Okotoks, Alberta

I was in town for just a few days from Los Angeles, and I searched for the highest rated local restaurant on Yelp. I found ChaCha Johns. I had a great experience on my first night with the chicken tikka masala. So I came back EVERY night i was in town. I had the Na-Co, the butter chicken, the rice pudding, and the battered onions. Everything was delicious. I received special attention from the manager who made recommendations and treated me like a valued guest. I was so happy there! Quick service, great food, good company. I would certainly return next time I'm in Okotoks. Hooray for ChaCha John's! read more

Always worth the drive from South Calgary! Yesterday was my daughter's 15th Birthday and the only place she wanted food from was from Cha Cha John's. While everything was tasty as usual, we were happy to see the Mango Cauliflower on the menu! Loved it!! read more

Diner in once and it was awesome. Great veggie options for a friend. Ordered take out and proceeded to have the worst food poisoning. Was able to isolate it was from this meal. Won't be chancing it again. read more

Staff is great, warm customer service, bland tasteless food. Tried Palak Lamb it's one of their Curry Bowls. The naan was dry and lacked seasoning. I got take out so the curry was separated from the rice and naan. When I opened to box I was surprised to find 1 and a half cups of rice. The amount of curry given was was a little more then the rice, just over two cups. Not sure if they are on a budget or what but when I am asked to pay $18 for one curry I expect to have some left over. Maybe they justify the high prices by adding rice and naan in the dish. The taste of the curry was so bland. No salt. No seasoning. I don't know how curry could be so tasteless. Couldn't taste Coriander, turmeric or even cardamom. I have stars because staff was awesome and a great environment at the restaurant. I understand that they want to do things different and they like the fusion idea and want to stand out as different. Different doesn't mean it's good. I hope they can reel things back in and focus on strengthening their bread and butter a great curry. read more

Wow, we ordered our first family meal, absolutely delicious. We'd recommend this to all. Well done.

It was my first time in the restaurant, the food and interior were nice but the service really wasn't the greatest. Maybe it was an off day but the food wasn't good enough to bring me back to try again. read more

When I first started going here the food and service was phenomenal. We were going weekly. Then something changed. We went twice, the service was terrible. The same person working each time and he could care less to have your business. The second time we went giving the benefit of the doubt, we sat for 15 minutes and he said not one word to us. We got up and left. This is really too bad because the food is great, the service is terrible now. I will do take out going forward from here. read more

Samosas... omg!!! What else is there to say, made in house with delicious dips! The best.

Pretty torn. When I first moved to Okotoks half a year ago this was one of the first restaurants I tried in town, and I was super pleased with the quality and service. However I've been back multiple times and I must say; quality is inconsistent. For example; love their pakoras but once they were so salty I could barely eat them, once so crispy they were almost burnt, and another time so raw they were mushy. Also have been given meat samosas instead of veggie, however they did reliever the proper ones free of charge. (As they should) I also find that for pickup orders the amount of time I have to wait is longer than the estimate I'm given. Overall, Cha Cha John's, please step up your game!! Because I would like to like your food consistently. read more

The food and service at ChaCha Johns was excellent. We stopped on our way through Okotoks and were very happy with our meal.

This place is excellent. Definitely give it a try. The Nacos (naan bread tacos) are awesome.

Love this place! The food is consistently excellent. I crave the Thai Coconut Curry, so good! The restaurant is very cozy inside, not what you might think from the outside. We are always greeted in a friendly manner. Our favourite place in Okotoks for sure. read more

I belong to a club that meets monthly for lunch and we have been to Cha Cha Johns a few times now. It has always been just great. The staff are amazing and kind and accommodating. They are happy to help and explain everything on offer. The place is lovely and bright, comfortable and clean. The menu is super and offers real variety. They also have a great burger and fries if someone in your group isn't feeling too adventurous. We have tried the burgers, butter chicken, pakora, carrot ginger soup, and samosas. Everything has always been really, really good. Whether you have tried Indian before or not, you should try it - you won't be disappointed. A really wonderful addition to Okotoks. read more

The Coconut Squash Soup was amazing and I hesitated ti try it because I have not liked squash. Mixed it up had the wings Hot Chutney also very good. Veggie samosa was perfect. Grilled chicken sandwich very good. All in all very good place great prices and quiet. read more

Slow service, despite the restauraunt only being half full our meal took over an hour to arrive. Appetizer pakoras were pretty good. My wife had the coconut thai prawns which were terrrible. The sauce was not recognizable as a thai yellow curry and was extreemly salty to the point of inedible. I had the malabar fish curry which was pretty good, a tad too salty but enjoyable with enough water. Prawns and fish were very tender. Unfortunately we were frequently waiting for water refills. read more

Happened upon this awesome little restaurant while visiting Okotoks, Alberta. Food was excellent! Best samosas we've ever had. The vegetarian curry was amazing. The vegetable pakora was delicious. The service was excellent!! Would definitely go again next time we're in the area. SO GOOD!!!! read more

My fiancé loves this place! He loves their butter chicken. Personally I think the naan is so so but it's still naan :). They have quite good paneer and aloo ghobi Always great service too! We had the steak bites last time and they were pretty good with amazing dipping sauces! They are a "must order" every time we come! read more

We had awesome meals that very well spiced. We ordered a variety of items everything was perfect. What a nice change of pace. Crazy name.

We visited on a recommendation from my parents. Our experience was so great. The establishment was clean and pleasantly decorated. The staff (family owned and operated) were incredibly friendly, knowledgable and attentive. The food was unbelievable; the portions were perfect and priced very reasonably. The Indian dishes come with both rice and naan bread, which was a bonus! I would strongly recommend trying out Cha Cha Johns. You won't be disappointed! read more

Heard about ChaCha Johns from friends. What a great recommendation. ChaCha John welcomed us personally when we arrived. Thomas took care of our every need including having the chef make a custom curry for myself. The recommendations for food were spot on & the service exceptional. My hope is the business continues to grow & we have this great restaurant in Okotoks for a long time. read more

This is by far the best Indian Dining in the Okotoks area. The owner took great pride in his food and made an effort to spend some time at our table to answer any questions/concerns we had. Would highly recommend. read more

Fantastic burger I had tonight. Awesome staff. Very kind and inviting. I highly recommend this place. It's not right in the more busy spots in Okotoks. I actually heard Vince Vaughn eats at this place when he is in town. If the burger wasn't delicious enough, the fries were incredible! No joke. Very well seasoned and cooked perfectly for my taste. read more

Wow! Is this Okotoks? Hands down the best meal we've had out in Okotoks EVER ... and we've lived here for 15 years. Everything was so fresh and the service was wonderful. My husband had the butter chicken and I had the Thai coconut shrimp curry bowl. BEST EVER. This place is a true hidden gem with an owner who really cares about your eating experience! Bravo! read more

Excellent food all made in house (the chili sauce was perfect). The service was also incredible, some of the friendliest staff I've ever encountered. This is my new goto restaurant in Okotoks. read more

Went with another couple on a Friday night. The service was fantastic! Both the server and the owner were friendly and chatty and attentive. The food was amazing. One of our party ordered a dish that turned out to be too spicy and they graciously brought him another meal. The veggie samosas, butter chicken, ginger soda and rice pudding are my recommendations. We will definitely be back! read more

The service here is excellent, the food is delicious - though maybe not I would call "fusion"; it is mostly either American or Indian, not a mix of the two - and the people are so friendly! DEFINITELY ask them about their desserts! They are amazing and something you don't see everyday. read more

We go at least once every few weeks to ChaCha John's. It is a wonderful little family owned restaurant with such attention to detail. The service is outstanding and friendly. They are always willing to tell you about the origins of the dishes and the ingredients. They take great pride in the delicious food they create, whether traditional Indian or fusion. We are never disappointed and look forward to trying something new with every visit. read more

OMG I can't believe I have passed this place a thousand times and not gone in! The service was excellent, the food was the best, and the price was fantastic! I have a new favourite place in Okotoks now! The vegetable samosas were to die for! I will be back, and often. Great job! read more
