Chulo and Bar - Table reservation

We had never been to Chulo before. We found it on Open Table as one of the few places that had a table available at on Valentine's Day.It took a little while to be seated as the restaurant was quite busy, but they did honor the reservation by seating us ahead of another couple who got there first but did not have a reservation.Service was slow. It took some time before we ordered cocktails and even longer before they served them. Once dinner arrived, the food was excellent. Prices are very reasonable and were not jacked up with a special holiday menu.The waitstaff was very friendly, and I have no complaints about the service other than it was slow. We'll try them again on a less busy day. Along with being Valentine's Day, it was also a Friday, and the other guests were mainly in large groups rather than couples.I think the Nepali music was quite good, though somewhat hard to hear because of the general noise level.We will definitely recommend Chulo and plan on returning, possibly with friends

I always like to explore what’s new in my neighborhood and decided to go with my partner to meet up some friends I had not seen in a couple of months. I’m West Indian so very familiar with curry. The food was excellent. The portions were perfect for the value — I’ve been to similar places with higher prices and gotten less and also mediocre food. They had live traditional music which really set a nice mood, but the establishment was also family friendly though likely better for kids and up. We never felt like our service was poor, in fact we may have been overattended and one of the staff remembered my name upon leaving. It was great. I definitely plan to go back. This is a much better restaurant to have than the one that was previously at the same location

Hit or miss on the food. The tandoori mixed grill was definitely not a hit: overcharred tough cubes of lamb, little shrimps, and lots of very seemingly food dyed red indistinguishable pieces of chicken. Fluffy rice though. A better dish was a spiced and herbed rice and lamb

So flavorful—they do not shy away from using spices. Waitstaff extremely friendly, welcoming and attentive. The live music was a bonus
