Messed up my order that was over $100. My girlfriend checked the order with the cashier TWICE, and when we got home the order was completely wrong. We wanted Manchurian chicken (which is much more expensive than what we had received). Called in store, they refused to help us; wouldn't give us a refund. A complete lack of any amount of customer service at all. Save your money! read more

Chawla's - This is a veggie ball not chicken - Indian Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

I came here for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. I was impressed with how well-decorated and clean the restaurant was. When I first walked-in, I was kindly greeted by the staff, whom then seated me at a large table, and gave me a menu to order from. After ordering my meal, I waited about fifteen minutes to receive it. When it came, I was greeted with a piping hot dish of butter chicken, with just the perfect amount of spice and flavour, it was absolutely amazing! When I dipped the naan into the sauce, I was in heaven! Overall, this place is definitely a great spot for a quick meal, or a long one. I felt welcomed and comfortable, along with dining in a superb atmosphere, with excellent food to match. I'm glad I decided to give this place a try, would highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for authentic Indian food in a welcoming environment. read more

Chawla's - Butter Chicken With Plain Naan - Indian Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Yummy Indian butter chicken and cream chicken. Also ordered the tandoori momos and they were amazing and good to share with 3-4 people easily! read more

We in a group of 4 dropped by this place for Sunday lunch. It was decently occupied which talked to the popularity of Chawla's brand. In starters, we ordered Vegetarian Platter and Dahi Bhalla. Vegetarian platter is must-recommended - it has Paneer Tikka, Chaap and Mushroom tikka. All of them well marinated and super-flavourful. Dahi Bhalla was just average - I wish they would have put more toppings to make it wholesome. In main course, we ordered Dal Tadka and Kadhai Paneer - both too good. Paneer just melts away in your mouth and gravy was amazing. Along came breads...super-flaky and served hot. We got Veg Biryani for takeout and that was awesome as well. Overall I would consider it as one of my favourite places for Indian food as the food genuinely felt like taste of India, not too heavy on pocket and the service was decent too. Will be back to try Hakka next time. read more

We came all the way to Chawla's in Brampton to try out their Cream Chicken. "Chawla's special Cream Chicken started in Nainital in the 1960 when late Sardar Attar Singh Chawla father of D.S. Chawla, Tajinder Chawla & I.P.S. Chawla, dished out his very own "Kali Mirch Ka Chicken", which instantly became a favourite with all. The family then improvised on the basics, adding another spice here and a little more pepper there and thus was born the Cream Chicken." Cream Chicken took 15 minutes to cook as at Chawla's everything are cooked when order. CP 24 did keep my Yelp Friend entertained while I looked at the washroom door.... How's the famous Cream Chicken?? Remind me on Cream of Chicken Soup garnished with black pepper and herbs! Chicken was really moist and with a great texture. It tasted pretty good with the naan though! Until.... I saw the price tag.... $14.99?! That's quite pricey for that few piece of chicken......$14.99? My Yelp Friend was giving me this look when he ordered Hyderabadi Goat Biryani ($11.99). I think I started to like eating goat/lamb if they are prepared properly. The goat inside the biryani was tender and flavoured and not gamey at all. But not being gamey might not be a good thing?? Naan is complimentary on weekdays (Mon-Thu). Garlic Naan was crisp, light and not doughy, more like a flat bread. Chawla's is a really small restaurant with full capacity at around 20 patrons. There were more people ordering takeout than eating in. 10% discount if for takeout orders, but call ahead since it takes a long time for your order to be ready! read more

Bone in chicken curry, Dal makhani and Paneer Lababdar are must try. Their chicken curry is also very good.

Great Indian take away good . Master in butter chicken , prices on steeper side though . While waiting one day I tried chicken Momo's ( Dimsums) ... they were WOW ! But prices pinch ! Good for catering u guess ! read more

The meat here is not halal. Too bad because it looks like they have a lot of tasty dishes on the menu. Owner should consider making it halal. I had the Mattar Paneer. It was really good. You get a big portion. I gave three stars instead of 4 or 5 because their prices are too high. Its $3.49 for ONE garlic naan? Thats ridiculous. And the amount of naan and taste does not justify the price. Because of the cost of food here, I won't be returning unless I go and buy my garlic naan from another shop. But who is gonna do that? read more

If 0 stars was an option, this restaurant would get it. Above all things, customer service is critical and in a service based industry, if you do not have customer service, then you might as well close your business. Mango lasi was spilled all over my wife's shirt, pants and phone by the waiter. So they took the lasi off the bill...are you kidding me? A request to speak to the Manager delivered an obnoxious man who started to berate our party and cause a scene following an arduous negotiation of 50% off the bill. That was after offering $4 to pay for dry cleaning...are we in the 1960's? Time to get back to the basics Chawla...customer service. In the words of Gordon Ramsay, "Bye Bye Botox"! read more

Visited on 6th Aug night and I noticed few uncommon events that one expects in a typical Indian restaurant. Here are my observations and you can make your own judgement - 1. Due to long weekend, Chawla's were short staffed and were completely taken aback with the amount of crowd Vs. Staff in Kitchen and waiters attending customers. 2. The Manager Lady seemed severely stressed and was being verbally abused by angry customers who had to wait for probably longer (45 mins) as opposed to 30 mins that was promised. The manager was clearly being the victim by many angry customers. My humble suggestion to this manager is to give customers 50-60 mins wait when they inquire the estimated wait times, so the customers can make best use of their time. Also, be very firm with abusive customers. 3. The food was make by a chef who was made by God's own hand (a pukka foodie reviewing :-)), especially the chicken biryani was the best I ever ate. I am going again today :-) 4. We waited for about 45-50 mins but looking at the abuse the manager and one other waitress were getting, we just decided to be patient. After tasting our food, we all unanimously decided that every second of our wait time was well worth. Personally, I would wait in line for an hour (hope it never happens) to eat at Chawla's. 5. Prices were very reasonable and the services, presentation and ambience were excellent. Management: Please order a sign board that says - " We reserve the right to decline service to anyone we feel". I still can't forget that few customers were so foul mouthed and abused the poor manager lady that night. Manager was at a minor fault for giving a bit less wait time and I understand (being a customer and having my 5 year old on my lap all the time standing) but customers have no right to abuse. May be it's just a particular kind of people that think they can get rowdy but I am not used to seeing this back in California. I would have asked the people to back off v v firmly. Good luck, Chawla's read more

I hired them for my wedding catering. They are very accommodating and provided me with great suggestion based on my venue and guests. Most importantly, their food tasted amazing!!!! Our guests didn't stop talking about how good the food was. They use quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend Chawla's Chicken!! read more

3.5 stars Ambience - This place is very ordinary ambience wise. It's located in a strip mall. It has 4-5 tables with a capacity to seat 20 people. This is more of a takeout joint than an eat-in restaurant. Food - Heard a lot about Chawla's from our friends. We drove from North York to try the food here. We tried their Butter Chicken, Kadai Paneer, Dal Makhani and their breads. The Butter Chicken was pretty good. Dal Makhani was okay. Paneer we didn't like at all. Overall it was okay. Will try the Biryani, Momos and Chowmein next time. read more

I went there yesterday for having momos I was craving for them since a long! I am gonna that the taste of the momos was good but the outer covering was a little hard to chew. Sauces were perfect. I ordered plain vegetarian momos and noodles. Noodles were just fine. Service took a long time but I can wait for my food instead of having cold half prepared food I would love to wait a little more. Serving staff was nice. Don't have pictures for this but when I will visit again I will update it. read more

Just stumbled onto this place, so I only ordered one dish with Naan for takeaway. Really good Chili Chicken, nice amount of heat came on a small bed of stir fried vegetables? I know, but surprisingly it worked. Nice naan, crispy with a slight amount of chew and the mint chutney that came with it ranks up there with the best ones I have tasted. Definitely coming back to see if the rest of the menu is as good and to see if they are consistent. read more

Cream Chicken is well known in the Western World. From the pedestrian Campbell's to classic Bechamel. It was more than interesting to find an Indian inspired. A well franchised Indian brand landing in Brampton. Not a bad place to dine by any means but be patient. Takes time to freshly prepare the Food as noted. Chawla Cream Chicken is the obvious choice to explore here. I expected lots for the price point but not as impressed in the end. I was lucky to get Naan complimentary on Weekdays(Mon-Thu). I tried not to think about Campbell's Cream Soups too much. But at the end it's only different by " " that much unfortunately. Hyderabadi Goat Biryani($11.99) wasn't half bad. Just got it to have something additional and filling. Yeah, it looks different served with Jap-style plastic Boat dish. That's what I call new fusion and inspiring.

This is one of my favourite places to eat. I love their creamy chicken, it's honestly one of the tastiest things I have ever tried. Their naan is always perfect as well. Personally I like it better for take out since we have had rude experiences in the past from people that work there and even dirty looks from other customers. I'm not sure if it was due to race or if my husband and I were eating the food differently - but there was some obvious lack of care for us than the other patrons there. I do still order this for take out though. Great portion sizes, very tasty and reasonably priced. read more

Everything today was worst at its best. Right from the table seating to ordering to wrong items delivered at the table plus the servers wrong attitude to all the worst experiences. Never coming back and will suggest to all the yelpers and my friends that when new restaurants open like Chawla's, they're good in the beginning but later when they make big they follow the same suit as other restaurants. Poor service, poor food. Not coming back ever and urge anyone reading this review to go elsewhere. Thanks. read more

If you are coming here to try famous cream chicken, then I would suggest you not to come. However, their menu include many other north indian and hakka chinese items which are really good. We go to this place regularly for momo's, manchow soup and chicken/fish tikka. I knocked off one star because of limited place to sit (geared to take-out) and not so clean table cloth (few times) when we have gone to dine-in. read more

Very good food, but not quite good enough to justify the price(10-15$ for entrees, rice and naan not included). My group tried a few different dishes - vegetarian, chicken, and goat. I will say that all the meats were amazingly tender and good. However the one dish we ordered mild (goat bhatura) was the only spicy dish! Everything we ordered spicy came out mild! It was still tasty enough that we did not find cause to complain. Not bad at all, but Brampton has so many Indian options that I am going to keep looking elsewhere. read more

I have had butter chicken, vegetable biriyani, and chaana masala. The food is delicious and flavourful here. I have ordered many times here and it has always been good. I highly recommend this place. read more

The food is good and not too pricey. Some of the must try dishes are chicken,goat biriyani and paneer lababdar. They make really spicey food, so don't forget to mention your preference when you place an order. I haven't had an opportunity of dine-in, so can't really comment on service. read more

This is horrible restaurant. Ordered a take out for fried rice and chilli paneer and the food was very stale. The owner response was very bad and didn't even consider our concern. And its been within 24 hrs since we ordered , according to the rules of the owner. He didn't even apologize for the bad food. Will never go back again and would recommend not to read more

Worst experience ever in Canada. It wasn't too busy but we waited for more than hour to get our small 2 dishes. If u have enough time to waste then surely visit this place otherwise never go to Chawla's as they are money concentric. Bad treatment for small order. Highly not recommend. Bullshit service ever got in canada. If there is 0 star in rating option, this restaurant is not deserve that too. read more

Creamy chicken to malai kofta, they use different gravy's, unlike other restaurants. Small plans with a capacity to serve 20-25 people. Food is served fresh and it's delicious, Naans are soft even on the next day. Definite recommendation for the authentic exotic Indian cuisine lovers. read more

Not to be overlooked. We ordered once in past and food was just okay but I believe there is new Management now and food has been very good each time we order! Try the butter chicken and butter naan or the aloo gobhi (prob spelled wrong but it's the cauliflower with potatoes and spices. It all tastes so heavenly. Sorry had to change my review as my last order of aloo gobhi had a small, long piece of plastic in it. This is unacceptable. read more

My Canadian buddy had talked up this place, which is apparently a franchise based out of North India and caters to largely North Indian/Punjabi cuisine. Judging from the exterior you can be forgiven for skipping it as it is set between a dozen sidewalk stores in a corner strip mall next a small office building in a corner. However the food is very good and does very well. We tried the Creamy Methi [fenugreek] Chicken, quite tasty along with garlic naan bread. We also asked for and got a huge portion of Hyderabad Goat Biryani [basmati rice & goat meat flavored with heavy spices and saffron, cooked with rich aromatic flavors, served with small side of whipped yogurt ]. That day was not at all crowded, it seems 90% of their business is carry out (aka take way)! However another lass who had a large order of 6+ Chicken Momos convinced us to give it a try. We asked for a sample of the dipping sauce - which was quite tangy and had garlic, ginger,tomato sauce, made it quite tarty, worth it. The Chicken Momos are an Indian equivalent of Chinese pot stickers, except the internal filling is made from minced chicken, marinated and is not pan seared, rather steamed. Credit to the staff who are all Nepali origin for doing good job (they seem to be on the cell phones all the time!). read more

I go to this place for their cream chicken and love it. Chawla's cream chicken taste is still intact after so many years. In fact, it reminds me of my college days when we all friends used to go to Chawla's in Delhi. I won't say that everybody will love Chawla's recipes but i am sure the one who ised to like Chawla's back in India would love it here too. I would love to visit again and again. read more

Negative on cream chicken. Chawla's, is a franchise restaurant that is known for its signature dish called cream chicken. Anyone who has ever had cream chicken at one of the AUTHENTIC Chawla's can tell how good it tastes. We just grabbed two orders of cream chicken to go tonight. Sad to say but their chicken doesn't taste like the Chawla's original cream chicken at all. When you go to a franchise restaurant to check out their signature dish and you get what I want is disappointing. read more

Don't Don't Don't Haven eaten there yet...but they sold a coupon on a dealfind....that will not honor. I made sure there was no expiration date on the coupon......they have a new manager that dismisses all coupons. That practice alone, they won't get my business or that of my friends of co workers.............And we are all chefs working in or around the GTA...and those of you who get it...it's a small world! read more

Cons outweigh the pros unfortunately. I checked out this place upon a referral from a co-worker and he told me to try the creamy chicken. Although I did take his advice to check it out, I'm not a fan of the milk and chicken ingredient combo even though it probably taste amazing with the spices and seasoning. I opted for Chicken Khadai and really liked it. The next time I ordered Chicken Vindalla, also very good. I've never really ventured from those two dishes, well not in this restaurant. If I wanted to indulge in Indian cuisine, I'd just go to a full blown Indian buffet (Brars or Tandoori Flame) But, no complaints about the food I've ordered here. However, I do smirk at at the logistics and it irks me more and takes away from really giving this place an extra star. "Irks" below; The main dishes are over priced for the portion you get, plus you have to order either rice or bread separately and the main dish itself is already pricey. Why wouldn't they include at least naan as a combo. It's like ordering pasta without the sauce, of course you'r'e going to order the obvious pairing to complete the meal. They used to have a lunch special which had the combo, that I used to order, but for some illegitimate reason, when I called in with a lunch order for 6+ on a Friday, they no longer had the special. It wasn't available for Fridays apparently. Wtf?! LOL? The lady on the other line wasn't well versed in English and seemed very casual and forgive my being frank...stupid. I explained to her that I had been ordering from Chawla's and I enjoy eating their food and I told my co-workers about it and they wanted to try it out. Now I'm thinking for Chawla's this is awesome, as they would get repeat business as I've always raved about their food. She waived off the business opportunity and wouldn't offer the lunch special. So unfortunately for all parties, there was a loss. Needless to say, I never went back to eat or order from this place, because that experience, forgive the pun, left a sour taste in my mouth. One thing I really loath about a service business is the ignorance of customer power. Customers generate a good sum of the business because they essentially bring in the revenue and their comments and buzz marketing per say, go a really long way. If you're in it just for your own gain and not overall concerned with customer service or satisfaction or how customers elevate your business, it's really not worth anything to support such businesses. I understand the bottom-line to businesses, but money doesn't just come on it's own, you do have to manage the paper trail all the way down to the pocket. Although the food here is generally good, I won't be eating from here not because of the lack of customer service, but the sheer ignorance of it. read more

It's a small restaurant but food was good and fresh. I ordered garlic naan with malai kofta which you could taste was fresh. However the service sucks.

I just visited the place today, the place is very small so don't expect to find a table to eat there, you will have to take out. I tried their sheik kabab as an appetizer, I was expecting something dry and crispy, it turns out to be more of something steamed, and I ordered a chicken tikka masala it was suppose to be spicy, but I found it really sweet and lastly the chicken biryani, that was actually very tasty. read more
