Chakra Restaurant - Inglewood

I’ve been meaning to try Chakra for a while, it’s one of those restaurants that keeps popping up in my newsfeeds, and I was intrigued by their modern take on Indian cuisine. It’s an impressive modern restaurant on the corner of Beaufort Street and Seventh Avenue, with tables inside and out, and gas heaters for winter. The fit out is very stylish, with low lighting and candles – lovely for a romantic dinner. We were warmly greeted by the manager who seated us by the window, and it was nice touch to have a place card set up for me.

*Rating is a 4.5*<br/ Really enjoyable dining experience at this Indian restaurant tucked away on the quieter part of Beaufort street. Restaurant was packed on a weeknight (encouraging sign) but we had made a reservation (highly recommend). We were greeted seated by polite staff and mini iPads with the menu were given to us to peruse. Staff patiently explained the menu gave recommendations and we settled on:<br/ Butter Paneer kulcha (tasty)<br/ Pani puri paddle (nice, a bit harder to share though a touch messy)<br/ Burnt aubergine with lamb (very good)<br/ Special pot set chicken biryani (delicious)<br/ Cheese garlic naan (very good)<br/ Little touches like the hand written welcome sign with our names, complimentary starter and a complimentary tasting spoon mid way made the experience different, fun and set them apart from the run of the mill Indian restaurants we are used to. Menu is modern/contemporary Indian with a twist on traditional dishes (but they still offer the usual butter chicken, paneer etc if you’re not feeling adventurous). Service was excellent with staff checking in on us at regular intervals, ambience of the restaurant was good pricing was reasonable. Very much worth a visit.

Dishes were all delicious and generous in portions. Service was friendly. We dined to celebrate two birthdays and were surprised to find personalized cards on the table when we arrived. As well as a little gift. Lovely gesture indeed!

This place was fantastic.!! We tried 8 different dishes, all of which were amazing !!! The service was top notch and attentive with the waiter and the waitress being right there if we needed anything . You get given a small iPad with your menu to scroll through each which was pretty cool.<br/ Loved it, looking forward to going back . <br/

Great food. Separate vegan menu. Staff really put in a bit of extra effort here!
