Love the food here! This is our third or fourth time eating here and it always impresses. The food is rich and flavorful. There's so much to choose from and you can tell each dish is bringing a unique experience to your taste buds. The service is also very good. Everyone is attentive and makes sure you're have a great experience. The only knock I have is that it is loud and makes it difficult to hear/converse with people. Otherwise, I love the food and will continue to eat here! read more

My partner and I stopped in around lunch for a cocktail and a quick bite, settling in at the bar. The space is visually striking; large, expressive portraits hang on the walls, colorful throw pillows line the banquettes, and shelves of labeled spice jars sit in the corner like a little apothecary. The bar itself is dramatic, a wall of bottles backed by bold red shelves. It all adds up to a room that feels like someone put real thought into every corner. We ordered the Ginger Turmeric Martini, which is made with Citron Vodka on the menu but we swapped in ISCO Gin; a substitution the bartender handled without hesitation. He mentioned he adds a tiny pinch of salt to some cocktails to brighten them up, a small detail, but the kind that tells you they actually think about what they're making. The drinks were served in cut crystal coupe glasses with a small edible flower floating on top, and they tasted as good as they looked. For food, we went with the Chili Cauliflower and the Dal Makhani. The cauliflower came out crispy in all the right ways, each floret holding its texture under a sticky, lightly sweet heat with a bit of tamarind that shines right through; tangy, a little smoky, deeply savory. The Dal Makhani was exceptional. The lentils were cooked with real intention, not reduced to mush but offering just a slight pop, and the overall flavor was rich and complex in a way that made it hard to put the naan down. Speaking of which, the garlic naan (sans cilantro, seeing as my partner has the gene where it tastes like soap) arrives charred and pillowy in equal measure, loaded with bits of fresh garlic. The service matched everything else. We were greeted warmly, and the staff genuinely seemed interested in getting to know us rather than just moving us through. That kind of rapport is rare and, when you find it, you notice. A spot we love to visit whenever we are in the area, and for good reason. read more

Located in the corner of garden city. That means it's busy and parking is shared. You can make an RSVP online. Chairs are NOT size friendly. I would recommend asking for a booth seat. Staff was great. However, we told the server that we didn't want drinks at the moment, and she just took the menu anyway, so we just stuck with water. There will be multiple people tending to your table as they walk by. It's kind of cool seeing the kitchen. I think they have white noise or something, which was interesting. Korma was very good. Kabob was alright, chicken was cooked very good, but they give you a thimble of chutneys to dip. The korma sauce helped. Liked that they had vegan naan bread. They have a bar, but also have non alcoholic beverages from was we saw. Also, there are bar height tables as well as the ones surrounding the bar. read more

Had a really lovely dinner at Chaska! Tucked in the corner of Garden City towards the Anthropologie side of things, the interior is lovely and the perfect spot for a date night. Love the variety of their menu options and their extensive drink menu. My husband tried a lamb dish and I had the paneer. Both were great! Super flavorful and a solid portion. There were a ton of items on the menu we wanted to try. Will definitely be back! read more

I've eaten at Chaska a few times (both Garden City and Track 15). The attached photo is from Track 15 Chaska. It is always extremely tasty and I love that they have gluten free, vegan, and dairy free options. Great ambiance at the main their location too. I would have given 5 stars but only giving 4 because when I have done take out from here the portions were a lot smaller than what I would have gotten at the restaurant. read more

Chaska - Vegetable korma - Indian Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

This place has a colorful and modern interior. The menu had the classic dishes I'd expect to see. I was greeted warmly and checked in by my server multiple times during my meal. I started with the samosa chaat. It was flavorful and crunchy and I really enjoyed it. For my entree, I went with chicken tikka masala. My server checked to make sure it didn't have tree nuts (I've been other places that use cashews and I have an allergy). I also got some garlic cilantro naan. The naan was pillowy soft, large, and delicious. The tikka masala comes with your choice of white or brown rice. I would have liked to have seen butter chicken on the dinner menu as well. There were several specials available and enough variety on the menu that I think everyone could find a dish they liked (soup, salads, lots of types of naan). This was a great meal and I'm looking forward to eating here again. read more

This was our second visit to Chaska in a month, and it was outstanding -- as good as the first time, which was superb. I am a retired U.S. diplomat who has traveled all over the world, eating Indian food in India as well as London and elsewhere. Chaska's dishes are delicious, sophisticated and unique, combining flavors and combinations I haven't seen elsewhere. For example, today we ordered the Bagara Baingan, an eggplant dish we have often enjoyed, and Chaska's version featured eggplant that was ground up and then recooked in a delicious sesame/peanut sauce. It made an old favorite even better! We also had wonderful aloo gobi (cauliflower/potato) and paneer (cheese) and pepper. Last time we enjoyed chicken tikka masala, always a favorite, and a delicious peri peri chicken dish. Chaska isn't your corner take-out; it's a beautiful space with a creative menu, friendly service, and food that soars. We highly recommend it! read more

I stumble across this Gem, because I was looking for a Starbucks! The food was so fresh, I got the lunch special which was a pretty large portion. I ending up getting the lamb, garlic nun, mango lassi, and squash samosas. So good. The service was really good too! The restaurant was empty when I arrived and started to get crowded; however the waiter was still able to multitask and not forget about me. I would eat here again in a heartbeat! read more

I'm usually afraid of Indian food because it tends towards much more spicy than I go for but the girls decided on this place for a ladies dinner and it didn't disappoint!

Overall a great ladies night! read more

Chaska deserves ALL of the praise. Chicken Biryani - A+ Delicious, flavorful, well balanced, touch of spiciness. I ordered it once many moons ago & have been craving it ever since. Had to order it again! Ginger Turmeric Martini - B+ Tasty & quaffable, like a fancy lemonade. It gave me a little bit of heartburn afterwards, but in the moment it hit the spot. Great service & comfortable dining room. I'm a big fan! read more

Chicken Tikka tasted more like tomato soup with ketchup than anything else. Channa Masala and Saag Paneer were also not especially flavorful. Service staff was kind and attentive. The big window made for a nice atmosphere. Honestly, there is a "Little Chaska" at Track 15 with better food (although I wouldn't say good it is particularly good, either). read more

Chaska is a fun spot if you're in the mood for good Indian food! We were visiting from out of town and ate here twice on our trip! They do a great job at mixing traditional flavors with some creative fusion dishes, so there's something for both Indian food enthusiasts as well as people who are just trying to explore the cuisine. The food is flavorful and well-presented, and the vibe of the restaurant is modern and stylish. Service was AMAZING! 5-stars!!! Here is a quick run down of what we ordered and what we thought about it- *Avocado sweet potato chaat- flavors were good but subtle. Good for people who want a healthy starter. *Corn chaat- fantastic chat-pata dish. Loved it. *Dal Makhani- very good flavors, my toddler loved it. *Potato kulcha- so soft, pillowy, could use more filling and flavors though. *Zataar naan- super flavor and texture, Mixed opinion on the table as to whether it paired well with Indian dishes. *Corn Paneer flatbread- lovely subtle flavors, crispy at the bottom. Great for kids *Lamb Barra kebab- superb! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. *Saag- got a side for my kid. It was good for the kid. Need more flavors for me. *Jackfruit kofta- lovely flavors, kofta was well cooked and seasoned. *Chettinad curry- it was a little underwhelming on the flavors. *Laal Maas Lamb- wow! What a dish! Must order! Overall a good meal! Will definitely be back!!! read more

I can't speak to the ambience of this location because I did take out for lunch, but the initial vibe is that it's a cute little spot to grab a bite. The lunch portion of my chicken korma was just right with a side of garlic cilantro naan the chicken was tender. The sauce was creamy, but not too thick and just lightly flavored with cashews. I would definitely like to return for a sit down meal here. Our order was ready as promised right on time. read more

My naan wasn't cooked all the way, it was cold and the topping were clearly just sprinkled in afterwards. My chicken tikka and rice was cold too. This place has been going down hill over the past year. read more

Run, don't walk here. Beautiful ambiance, spectacular food. Just walking in you're hit with the amazing warm aromas of Indian spices. Even as a solo diner, plenty of options. Today i opted for lentil soup and butternut squash samosas which both were well balanced and delicious. So glad I've found chaska! read more

Arrived at 5:20 for a 5:30 reservation. Sat at the bar until I had to remind the host we were there. Seated at 5:55. Our entrees (tandoori checked and saag paneer) were mediocre, reminiscent of dishes you've had it the past but missing something. Naan and the drinks were very good, wait staff were attentive. Noisy as well. read more

I can't choose between the service or the food being the best here - they're both top tier. We've come several times, and the service has been attentive and incredibly friendly each time. Usually we get the chicken tikka masala, but this last time I got that with salmon instead - NO regrets.. it was so good! We also like to get the garlic and onion naan with roasted vegetables to mix with our entrees. This is definitely our go to Indian restaurant in the area. read more

Chaska - Indian Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

We had a dinner reservation here on a Wednesday night and I would suggest making a reservation for dinner because it was busy! We ordered the chili cauliflower, onion/chili & fruit/nut naan, salmon tikka, chicken vindaloo, chicken biryani, and Peshawari chicken korma- we didn't leave hungry! Most of us found the portions to be just right although my husband wishes there was a a bit more but he eats a lot! Our server was lovely and even brought us all a little sample of their mango coconut rice pudding because it was my husbands birthday! The space is pretty, food was good, I would for sure go back again! Sorry for no pics but trust me, get the peshawari chicken korma and the fruit/nut naan. I don't think you'll be disappointed! read more

Was recommended this place by a friend. So glad I went! First off, the vibes are great. Wonderful Indian-inspired decor, the seating all matches, there's a big window into the kitchen and they make kebabs or something right there and it's Smokey and fun. Spoons were on the table in clay jars and there were dry flowers on the table and it just looked like a lot of work went into the atmosphere. Food-wise; wonderful. The menu itself was full of so many Indian classics with fun twists. I wanted to try everything. The appetizers alone had me in such a chokehold and my mom and I kept going back and forth on what we would try. We settled on the polenta calamari. It was good! Not the best calamari I've ever had, definitely on the chewier side. But the lightly fried calamari paired with the tamarind dipping sauce (I think that's what it was at least) was just so good! The naan bread was also a standout. So fluffy!! 10/10. I liked my saag paneer a lot, and again it wasn't the best saag I've ever had but it was still really good. I did try a bite of my mom's chicken korma and wow!! I might get that next time, unless I'm swayed by another one of their creative menu items of course. I also had a bite of the chili cauliflower and I thought that was also really, really good. I'd definitely come back here! The service was also great! The waiters were all very attentive and good at keeping our water filled and asking about our dinner. When they delivered the check in a cute little wooden box with an elephant painted on it, I was a bit disappointed that there was only the check inside, and no little candies or anything. But no big deal! I know now for the future. read more

We always love Chaska. Love the spin on Indian food. Cocktails are great, service usually good recommend making reservations.

I came here for a really early dinner on Christmas Eve and it was fantastic! The service was top notch- my water glass was never more than 25% empty and we were checked on throughout the night, but not at all in an overbearing way. The interior decoration is really nice and cozy. The food is great too, and the lamb seekh kebabs were to die for and the chicken korma was really good, although it could have been spicier. The Parle-G cheesecakes were sooo good and really nostalgic to me personally as someone who is Indian. I definitely hope to come back sometime soon! read more

Food: 1) chicken tiki masala stuffed naan- this was so good and cheesey too! Came with a side of mango chutney and baked lentils. Sooooo good! 2) butternut squash samosa- this was nicely baked and the flavor was good. Came with a type of Thai chili sauce for dipping which added to the flavor too! 3) jackfruit kofta- this was so tasty! I never had jackfruit in a dish before and let me tell you, I couldn't tell because it has a meat texture and was very flavorful. 4) pineapple upside down cake- this was so good, not overly sweet and it was topped off with a chocolate coconut icecream. What a great palette cleanser. Service: The staff was so helpful and nice. They always checked in on us and did not leave us thirsty lol Ambiance: This place is sooooo cute! Love the decor and the art. Great lighting as well. We noticed that they dim the lights closer to 7pm to give it a more intimate feel. * the only reason I didn't give it a 5 was bc there's a lot of good Indian food competition in RI. But this spot is still worth it! read more

Truly amazing dinner! Service was friendly and attentive, the cocktails were unique, yummy and strong. The food was such a fun take on the traditional indian flavors with fresh ingredients and great flavor building. Try the piri piri chicken! So glad we live nearby read more

Had a great lunch here recently and got to enjoy one of the last warm days of summer by sitting on their patio. The restaurant is tucked into a corner of Garden City. Plenty of parking if you're willing to be patient. Very good menu with some inventive, unique dishes. My chili cauliflower appetizer was so good. Not too sweet and had lots of Indian flavors. My meal was really incredible- the paneer and pepper masala had nice hints of roasted peppers and the sauce was so thick and flavorful. The cilantro and garlic Naan was just fantastic. It was generously coated with garlic and the bread was so soft and fluffy. I also tried the ginger lemonade mocktail, which was a little sweet for me but a nice complement to the heavier flavors. Overall great meal. read more

Visited this place for lunch since I've been meaning to visit for a while. It's in Garden city plaza so parking was easy to find. The place is small but nice and outdoor seating available if weather is good. We were quickly sat down and service was great and very attentive. We ordered mango lassi and samosa chaat to start and it was very tasty. First time trying samosa chaat but would definitely try again. For main, we had chicken tikka masala and garlic cilantro naan. Both were great. Chicken tikka masala and naan were very flavorful and delicious. Rice was not quite enough to finish with chicken tikka masala so garlic naan was great addition to finish up with the dish. Overall, the experience was great only few thing that could have been better was that chicken tikka masala I would have liked it more creamy. Tomato was a little overpowering from what I was used to. Also price was on the higher side for lunch but its pretty standard for Indian place around the area. Definitely a solid place if I'm craving for some Indian food. read more

Such a pleasant experience ~ right from the start, staff was kind, refilling our water every chance they got, grabbing our empty platters, and prepping our table setting when the entree came our way. I even saw a waiter run to the parking lot, to return a customers purse she forgot on the table. I felt welcomed and comfortable. Food was filling and delicious~ the vindaloo was a 8/10 spicy and possible too spicy for those who can't handle spicy dishes~ I enjoyed the kick! The mango lassi was definitely needed to help me from being too spiced out~ but as always, a fun treat on the side too~ the naan was also delicious, dipping the sauce and scooping potatoes right into my mouth! I want to come back with my family because they seem family friendly and accommodating! read more

Where do I start? This restaurant checked every boxes we have on our list for a great dining experience. Ambiance - yes Service - exemploray Menu - Great Food - Delicious We wanted to dine in at an Indian place on the way to Connecticut and I have been reading good reviews of Chaska. I was a bit skeptical initially, considering how some of the comments were around how Chaska is modern Indian food/fusion and don't serve authentic food. But we decided to try it anyway. Wow, I don't know what's authentic anymore, the food we got is the best Indian food we had in a very long time. Chaska simply stands out in terms of both food and service. We made an online reservation before coming although we went after the peak lunch time. But this will be very helpful for dining in at peak times. The lunch portions are available until 3 pm, so we could opt for lunch options. Their menu has allergens clearly listed out and is great help for people who have allergies and eat vegan/vegetarian. The employee who helped us with the ordering was so sweet (I can't remember meeting an employee who is so knowledgeable of the menu like him in the recent time). He gave us very helpful suggestions and helped us with the spice level. We ended up ordering a few mocktails, lassis and a cocktail. The appetizers we tried are cauilfower 65, grilled paneer and chicken 65. We also ordered vegan garlic and onion/chilli naan, roti, jackfruit kofta (so innovative and yum), veg kadai (omg, I am still drooling), and chicken biriyani and chicken kadai. The best thing is we could specify the desired spice level and we could also specify how we wanted the gravy (like less creamy). We loved everything and didn't have room for desserts. But their dessert menu is equally impressive. I read that this place is owned by the same people who own many other Indian restaurants in Providence. My family and I had a great dining experience. And I highly recommend Chaska to everyone visiting Rhode Island. read more

I'm a Chef. Ordered the butternut squash, the garlic naan, the jackfruit Kofta, mango lassi, Malai chicken and the cocktail with edible flower. The buttnet squash was an easy 4.7, although I didn't like that the squash was diced. I would have preferred more of a puree or mash. The garlic naan was well baked but had very little taste. The jackfruit kofta was very interesting. The softness of the jackfruit was balanced out by the thin slices of cashew inside the kofta. In terms of the sauce, I wouldn't have identified it as a "perfumed cashew cream sauce." It tasted like a variation of a masala sauce. Maybe consider adding spiced/roasted cashews in the actual sauce. The rice had a strong clove aroma. The mango lassi was incredibly light and frothy. Personally I prefer my mango lassi heavier and more yogurt-like. The Malai chicken was not as expected. The first word in the description was "creamy" but nothing about the dish was creamy. The chicken was also fairly burnt (see photos). The accompanying dal was good but cold. A 4/5. I would be happy to go back, but would probably not order these options, besides the butternut squash samosa which were very good. read more

We frequent Chaska because of the wonderful food. This afternoon we went in with a party of eight and 4 toddlers. They went above and beyond with the service and of course the food and drinks were as usual.... Outstanding. My granddaughter banged her lip on the table and they came Over immediately to see if we needed any ice or could do something to alleviate her discomfort. The food all came out hot and timely. Can't say enough about this place read more

Definitely recommend this place!!!! As an Indian that loves authentic Indian food with some spice this place does sorta kinda hit the spot. My favorites things: garlic & cilantro naan!! YES YES chicken tikka masala --they got it DOWN Chicken 65-CRIPSY, ONIONS, yes (minus chutney, wish it had a kick to it) Chicken Vindaloo-YOU LIKE SPICY AND TASTY? YESSS Not so: the Zatar naan? Yeah no. Don't get... Bagara baigan, it's decent The masala chai? Nah I'm sure they have better drinks Overall, I do wish they would make the food spicy when I request it to be spicy. But it does have good flavors overall just maybe...add some spice sometimes!! read more

Bring an open mind and an empty belly. You won't be disappointed! Not only is their Monday Date Night deal the best (IMHO) in Cranston, the service is beyond excellent. Fans of "The Bear" will think back to Richie's evolution into the world of fine dining and reflect on the care and consideration Chaska's employees devote to their customers' experience. We are always grateful for the fine dining level of customer service at a restaurant with such reasonable prices. They explain the dishes so well, checking everyone's comfortability with the spice level so everyone is sure to enjoy their meal without desperately reaching for the raita between bites. Everything is cooked with dedication to authentic Indian cuisine. And the casual, yet refined atmosphere is approachable and very comfortable. This is our favorite weekly tradition and nothing short of a sudden meteor strike will keep us away! read more

I have dined at Chaska four times, and each experience has been consistently good. To start with - excellent service, from the front of house to the waiters. My waiter during my last two visits was ready with great suggestions, especially for my children. The food is upscale Indian, though I am particularly taken by their lunch and casual offerings. Naan flatbread with tandoori chicken is a good choice. I like the deconstructed samosa appetizer quite a bit, as well as the corn salad. The plated food offers a lot of traditional Indian food. The decor of the space is very warm and takes you away from Garden City. The fixtures, wall art, decor, and lighting all blend together to provide an inspired experience. On Saturday night the place was filled. That is always nice to see. Overall my favorite of all the Garden City options. read more

Four of us went to Chaska for lunch. They take reservations, so it was easy to get a table. Their menu is varied with many vegetarian dishes and some traditional Indian food like Biryani, Tikka Masala, Tandoori chicken and more...but they also have some interesting additions like tacos, salads and flatbreads that are not very common to see in traditional Indian restaurants. Our server was ok, not overly friendly, she seemed like she wanted to get it over with soon....so overall service as ok. The food was good....my Biryani was very small, but it was very tasty. My husband got a chicken dish with rice and it was really good...all the other dishes were delicious too. Overal not a bad choice for Indian food in Cranston. read more

I tried Chaska for the first time today and it's my new favorite restaurant! The service was amazing! The waiter was very attentive. We had the coconut milk clam chowder to start and wow, just wow! Phenomenal! And it doesn't leave you feeling heavy and overly stuffed like traditional chowder. We then had the chicken appetizer, which was very flavorful. For our meals, I had the cauliflower appetizer as my meal. Very tasty with a kick. My husband and 11 year old son both enjoyed their meals as well and there is enough to take home for another meal. For dessert, they brought us complimentary rice pudding. It had mango on it and was very refreshing. The ambiance was nice. Seats are very comfortable. It would be a great date night spot! We will definitely be back! read more
