Horrible management

by deepraj

My wife and I ate at Chakra the other night, and at the beginning of our dining experience everything was pleasant. The server was very nice and friendly and the food was good (not great). What ruined it for me was that I noticed the manager storming around the restaurant and being very rude and demanding to the staff. He had a sour look on his face the whole time and he was very short tempered, especially to the bus boys-walking around fast and pointing while barking out orders to servers. At one point he was yelling at the cooks to make him something-which ruined the "tranquil ambiance" the restaurant tries to come off with. The food, service and music were good, but the negativity from the manager was bothersome and sadly we won?t be returning. Slightly overpriced.

  • Pros: beautiful interior
  • Cons: grumpy manager, food overpriced

Alluring & Delicious Indian Experience

by Thalia7

My husband and I LOVE this place and it always makes for a great night out (or in - if we order it to-go)! The atmosphere is alluring and the food is fabulous. We love the "chips" and assorted chutneys they bring out to start. My favorite is the goan shrimp curry. The service is always very attentive! It may be a bit more pricey than other local options, but definitely worth every penny!

  • Pros: Food & Ambience
  • Cons: Nothing!
