Chawlas Indian Restaurant

Renowned for their famous cream chicken, this Indian eatery is bringing jaw-dropping flavour to Auckland’s iconic Wellesley Street.

Intimate and colourful, Chawlas is one for the cosy dates, the lowkey meetups and a well-earned gossip with friends. For a bit of privacy, opt for a tall booth lit by the warm glow of countless overhanging lanterns. Alternatively, go for a ringside seat in the middle and feel the joyous hubbub around you.

You’ll find that their colourful bar will coax you over in no time, but why not order some entrees to go alongside your tipple? Dig into any of their deliciously marinated kebabs, bhajis, tikkas or a sharing platter to get you started.

And when it comes to mains, they’re kind of a big deal. Try anything from their famous cream chicken to the range of jalfrezis, kadais, kormas and madras’ with chicken, lamb or goat. For the pescatarians amongst you, the fish malabari is a creamy bowl of comfort whilst vegetarians will love the palak paneer, chana masala or any of their sumptuous dals. It’s true what they say; Chawlas is flawless.
