Chowka Indian Restaurant

Beautiful authentic Indian food! Had a gorgeous takeaway the other night with my two sons. All three of our main courses were different and had their own unique taste and flavours. They loved the lamb bhuna and the lamb shank. They are converted to Chowka! Pork Vindaloo was unlike anything you get served up in your typical takeaway. Well spiced and tasting as a proper vindaloo should. And they aubergine are to die for!!!! Never disappoints.

A local restaurant taking Indian food up a notch. Nice food and experience - owned by someone who seems really passionate about food and authenticity. Really impressed with the quality of the dishes especially the Goan fish fry and chilli Squid starters. Not a massive menu, but a few dishes cooked really well. Very friendly and enthusiastic owner. Will be coming back very soon: overall very good, worth visiting before others discover it and it gets busy. Tip: even though they’re not on the menu, ask for the popadums they come with a selection of sauces that are delicious. There are also some very reasonably priced wines.

This is the second time we visited Chowka and food is fabulous as always. They have new dishes added to their Menu so we tried lamb Rogan josh and Chicken Chettinad this time. Quite authentic preparation and perfect blend of spices! Place has a new look now which adds to the experience. Highly recommended!

Due to the lockdown my favourite Indian restaurant was closed so we thought we would try Chowka for the first time....it was awesome. The best coastal Indian restaurant outside India! Even my wife who is Czech and very picky about food loved it! Fabulous.. will 100% order again. I am an Indian from Teddington... so I know my Indian food baby!

I love this place. The food is (I would say) Goan Indian with a few Anglicised dishes. The flavours of the dishes are exceptional, and you can taste the different spices that have been used in each case - no premixed sauces here. The Vindaloo is my favourite , it is not the fiery hot nonsense that you get in a standard "Indian" restaurant, but a beautifully balanced dish that allows the individual flavours to shine through. The staff are friendly and will take the time to explain the menu and why this is different. I can't wait to go again, and try the lamb next.
