THE CHASKA
EXPERIENCE
Food and drink are two of the most basic needs of human beings. However, as society evolved, food and drink became also a strong cultural aspect, being able to connect and celebrate differences.

CHASKA, a hindi term for obsession, is not just an eatery or a bar. It is an attempt to connect people with good taste for Indian food and drinks, presented with modern flair.

First time I have eaten Indian food. The food is very good but be prepared for food on the spicier side. The cocktails and beer (Indian) were excellent. Everyone should try Indian food!

Food was excellent but the everything was very rushed. The app arrived just has the wine was poured and as soon as app cleared mains were out. It was a “date night” menu but no time to enjoy the wine, company, or atmosphere.

This was the best Indian food I have ever had! Our e tire party couldn’t give enough praise over the food and service. They went above and beyond for my niece when she said the food she got was too spicy. (They brought her a small side of sauce for her rice that she loved!). Amazing. I cannot wait to be back in town to go again.
