Choolaah is a small, Indian-owned takeaway in the city centre that started with one simple dream - to serve honest, comforting Indian food that feels like home.

Known for serving generous, flavour‑packed Indian dishes at great value, their menu covers all the classics- from rich butter chicken and creamy korma to spicy vindaloo and hearty vegetarian options. They also make delicious masala tea, saffron turmeric milk and refreshing mango lassi, perfect alongside any meal.

With warm service and consistently high reviews, it’s the kind of spot people return to for comforting curries, fresh naan, and quick, satisfying meals.

Whether you’re grabbing lunch on a busy day or picking up dinner on your way home, Choolah delivers reliable flavour and a welcoming experience every time.
