Ambiance:
A quaint joint small in size but big on comfort level with some fabulous decor done right. It has a modern touch to the regular Dhaba experience one would have when in India. We loved how the wooden interiors blended so well with the light bulbs placed over each table. Such an eye pleaser.
There is an outdoor seating with a sea view would be best enjoyed in the current weather. What more can you want when there’s clouds over your head, fantastic Indian food on the table and a blissful view of the lake ahead.
Bite Board
1. Lassi [AED 15]: There are two classic options sweet or salted. We decided to go with one of each and oh boy were we not disappointed at all! It was thick, creamy and just the perfect drink to wash down the tasteful food with.
2. Fresh Lime Soda [AED 12]: Another refreshing drink that will bring back memories of India where it is quite famous and served in all kinds of places from small to big restaurants.
3. Non-Veg Platter: We had Mr. Arvinder decide the best dishes that we would not have tried elsewhere. We were definitely impressed with what was served to us.
Fish Tikka [AED 45]: Succulent pieces of grilled kingfish that goes perfectly well with the mint chutney if you want to up your spice level and have something on the spicier side. All the seafood fans, this is a must try!
Chicken Peshawari Tikka [AED 35]: Juicy bites of creamy chicken that is prepared in a clay oven. We loved how the chicken managed to stay warm even after a long haul of photographs and just disappeared within minutes. So you know now which starter is not to be missed on the menu.
Tangri Kebab [AED 34]: Drumsticks with stuffing of dry fruits and minced meat. We were wowed with this creation as we have never come across such a combination of stuffing! The nuts and the meat complemented each other. Another dish we recommend trying.
4. Tandoori Mutton Bara [AED 41]: Crispy lamb chops with tangy barbecue flavored crust. Every bite comes with a juicy slice of meat that just bursts out with flavors and takes you to another world altogether.
5. Cream Chicken [AED 37]: The signature dish which created a place in everyone’s heart. The chicken is cooked in cream and milk with a combination of spices invented by the family. It was as the name suggests really creamy, rich and not spicy at all. It definitely deserves all the praise it has received so far.
6. Mutton Rara [AED 44]: All the meat fans this one here is for you all to devour on because we definitely LOVED it! Luscious pieces of mutton along with minced meat dunked in a thick gravy.
7. Lacha Paratha [AED 6] & Butter Naan [AED 5]: To wipe off these yummy mains we got some hot, fluffy breads which were the right choices, though we preferred the butter naan over the paratha for being more soft!
The best part with their mains that you will not find anywhere else is NO food coloring and excessive oil that which is the sad case with most of the outlets serving Indian food in Dubai. Here you will be licking your hands off with the amazing taste because they are FINGER LICKIN GOOD!
8. Gulab Jamun [AED 15]: Its not the end if you do not complete your meal with something sweet. So we decided to try the gulab jamun and oh boy were we right to do so! We were served two HOT pieces of soft jamuns with the perfect amount of sweetness that you can go on eating without any guilt!
Service:
Kudos to Mr. Arvinder and team for providing us with the top notch service. All the servers were friendly and had a smile on their faces throughout the time.
Cash Outflow:
For the generous quantity and top quality dishes being served the price is definitely justified!
Circling Back:
We are definitely up for another round of divine desi food! So many more dishes that we would love to try out. Thank you for having us at Chawlas.

We had quite a range of dishes since it was a blogger meet. For drinks we had the Lime soda and Lassi perfect to beat the heat and a great combination with the food.
Starters included:
Hariyali Paneer, Stuffed Tandoori Aloo, Hara Bhara Kebab – while the veg starters were all pretty good nothing stood out much so I’d rather stick with non-veg
Amritsari Fish Tikka – The fish was extremely tender and was extremely flavourful
Tangdi Kebab – Not your typical tangdi kebab as this had a secret surprise when you take a bite because it’s stuffed with nuts.
Chicken Peshawari Tikka – good dish but nothing extra ordinary
Mains:
Cream Chicken – Their signature dish which has its secret mix of spices specially flown in from Punjab
Chicken Rara, Mutton Kaali Mirch, Paneer Dhaniya Adraki – Gravies are extremely flavorful
Channa Masala – BEST CHHOLE I’VE HAD IN A WHILE. Would have been perfectly paired with Bhaturas but they have some really good Kulchas to pair it with.
Daal Makhni – while this Daal makhni was better than the dishes I’ve had elsewhere, people who are calorie conscious need to be careful since they go a tad bit overboard with the butter
Desserts:
Moong Daal Halwa – Loved this but again a little overboard because it’s greasy.
Gulab Jamun – Not overly sweet and perfectly balanced.
Overall Verdict: Great place to dine with family, interiors are simple and homely and the staff are really friendly. While the prices are tad bit high considering the location and the quality of food its justified.

Our previous experience was good but this one is pathetic.
It’s was navratri when we religiously follow the ritual and this restora broke our ritual by non veg food. I can’t pardon them. I

So we enter and are seated at this very contemporary Amritsari-Dhabba inspired place, that has hues of bright orange and the menu cards are embellished with little jingles. Super cute. Mr. Arvinder Gill, takes us through the menu and suggests that we best order the vegetarian and non vegetarian platters to get an idea of almost all kinds of starters they serve! We agree without a doubt and patiently wait for our food(not for long) while being entertained by him.
When the platters arrive we realize that's a lot of food for even the 6 of us that we're there. But in any case it looks delicious so after some photo session(thanks zomato) we indulge. The beg platter consisted of marinated and grilled potatoes, mushrooms, capsicum, paneer and baby corn, while the non vegetarian platter consisted of garlic chicken, chicken tikka, chicken sheekh, hariyali chicken to name a few. Each of them were cooked to perfection and had individual aromas and flavored regardless of being on the same plate. Definitely a winner.
For the mains we decided to order the hara-bhara kofta curry, butter chicken and on a suggestion the chicken dhaniya adraki which was the least spicy along with an assortment of breads. While the food was being prepared we were told that their trained cooks have been flown directly from the Ludhiana branch in India so as to maintain the quality and flavor of the food matching to Indian standards. Impressive!
The food arrived soon and again we were in admiration of the huge quantity and it was told that punjabis love their food and have no qualms about having a big portion to the satisfaction and hence the quantity. The kofta curry was something so different but delicious. It's not easy to make a spinach gravy taste good but these guys nailed it. And as for the chicken curries it was aced in terms of flavor for us! The butter chicken was mild and creamy while the adraki chicken was again creamy but had some nice notes of ginger and coriander to compliment it! Extremely stuffed but we still wanted to try something sweet so we ordered one portion of the rice kheer for the table and as expected it was divine! Not too sweet but just enough.
Chawlas2 has amazing North Indian cuisine that is authentic and true to its flavors and anyone craving that here in Dubai now has a place to go!

For the main course I had a variety of dishes. Notable among them were the Paneer butter masala , Chana masala , Mushroom masala, Tandoori mushroom.
Topped it with the traditional gulab jamun for dessert. All the dishes were amazing and taste overloaded.Chawlas2 surprisingly did capture the Punjabi essence and delivered it perfectly to the people in Dubai. Having started from a small shop in Ludhiana they have really come a long way and no wonder with such an amazing taste. I really loved the hospitality and the ambiance. A must try if you love some spicy food.
