My FAVORITE PLACE 3/13/2010

I have been to this location on a number of occasions during lunch which I would recommend to everyone. Last night I went for dinner and it was fantastic. I could see why Michael Jackson loved this restaurant. The price is fair for the quality. I will be a regular customer and I hope I can inspire some people to give this place a visit. Pros: service, taste, look more

Good Food 4/23/2009

I went there for a sunday brunch. The place looks nice with a serene environment. I tried all of thier dishes and they tasted good. They have 4 desserts on the buffet menu and all of them were delicious. I know it is located in Beverly Hills, but $25 for a sunday brunch is I think a bit steep. Pros: Good Food, Several Varieties Cons: wee bit expensive more

first time I had indian food 9/25/2008

This is the first time I had indian meal. I went with a friend of mine she said it is not your typical indian food it was considered fusion indian. It was really good. I had some indian cheese in dish with green peppers. more

Exceptionally Great !!!!!!!!!!!!! 5/12/2008

My husband took me to Chakra (Beverly Hills) to celebrate my Birthday . Trust me they made it as memorable as it could be!!! As we entered, we loved the upscale ambience, not something you find in the Indian restaurants in US. We went for tasting by chef which included a 5 course meal after the chef (Mel Oza) came and talked to us about our likes and dislikes making us feel as special guests of honor. Each course was presented with utmost style and tasted heavenly just like it looked. We being vegetarians, find the usual restaurants serving the same old boring menu which anyway I can cook better at home. But chef Mel's awesome 5 course meal still has us raving about it in every gathering and first place that comes to our mind whenever someone asks for a great Indian restaurant. We were entertained for almost couple of hours with everyone's personal attention and finally were surprised with a sweet little cake to make the whole experience all the more special. If you are looking for a wonderful experience for you b'day, anniversary of valentines day, believe me, don't even think about any other place, Chakra (Beverly Hills) Pros: Unique menu unlike the boring limited options in all the usual indian restaurants. Cons: Loved everything !!! more

Absolutely Incredible In Every Way 2/20/2008

This is my first review ever. I had to do it though because we just had the greatest dining experience. My boyfriend took me to Chakra for my birthday. First of all it was incredibly romantic. They have little couch booths where you can have a cozy nook. The table was lit with candles and covered in rose petals. We had the most amazing server Soel who took care of our every need. I really can't say enough about the service. We truly felt like the most important people there. Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere more

Impressive Hospitality,Creative Dishes 2/7/2008

We reached there at 9:45 pm,after having a hard time finding the place.They were about to close,but offered to let us come in and said they'll take us.They never rushed us to order,kept checking on us through the course of the meal.We did not order dessert,but they gave us a complimentary dessert from the chef,who made it for us and left,since it was too late.. Pros: Ambience,Hospitality,Vegetarian options Cons: bad appetizers,overpriced,not spicy more

Best restaurant! 1/16/2008

Tasting Menu is Divine 7/29/2007

a cousin of mine had a book signing and wine tasting here which spilled over into dinner for the stragglers. She asked the chef to arrange a tasting menu for us (his choice) and I had one of the most memorable meals of my life. The plates came individually, not family style like traditional Indian food, and there were 5 courses, including shrimp, fish and lamb. One person was taking notes and photos of each dish as it arrived and I wish I had too becasue I couldn't tell you the preparations but the flavors were sublime, so many different tastes unfolding on the tongue and all the different wines we had only enhanced the food. Pros: tasting menu, staff, location Cons: parking more

Best Indian Food, Romantic, and Fantastic Service 4/1/2007

My husband and I visited this restaurant for the first time on a Saturday night and found the place relatively quiet. We were greeted and seated right away. The dining area was tastefully decorated in shades of pink and orange. Our server Robert was wonderful and made some excellent recommendations. We started out with some Samosas and Mango Lassis. Amazing!!! For entrees, we ended up ordering the Chicken Masala and this other chicken dish wrapped in puff pastry. The sauces were so delicious and I'm a very picky person! It was by far the best Indian food we ever had! Great place to take a date. I can't wait to go back again! Pros: Food, Decor, Service Cons: I can't think of any! more

Good food, decor and service 3/5/2007

We went here with our friends, who recommended it after their Valentine's night dinner. We went for their Sunday brunch and the place was totally empty except for one other table of two. Probably the first thing one notices is the waterfall flowing in the front of the room and the semi private cabanas/booths to the left of the entrance. If I had any fears in terms of the emptiness of the place, it was quickly gone because of the absolutely most beautiful and pungent aroma of indian spices and food. Service was quick and attentive, probably because there were only two tables, to refill water or to ask if everything was going well. We ordered plain and garlic naan which arrived hot and soft at our table as if it had just been made, probably was. The buffet of food included the usual tandoori chicken, and a number of curryish types of food with tofu, chicken and lamb as well as a pureed spinache dish with potatoes, shrimp curry, and lentils with a curry sauce. The food definitely was very good, but according to my friends, the food was even better during dinner. There was sparse parking on the street, but there is a parking garage right next door. All in all a solid recommendation! Pros: Good indian food, attentive service, decent prices, empty which is good and bad Cons: Expensive drinks, $10-$12, only open for a few months, sparse street parking more

great food and drinks 1/26/2007

I have been here several times to eat and to go to the bar. Great dishes and great drinks. The place is also very pretty Pros: drinks, food more

Brilliant food, great service and very stylish... 12/5/2006

Though some of the facts on this page are incorrect (the ""Evening Meditation"" is from 4pm-7pm: $7 Chakratinis and $7 appetizers from the bar menu), the Chakra is by far the best Indian food in town. The owners have created a new concept in Indian Cuisine, they refer to it as an American restaurant serving Indian Cuisine... its brilliant. The portions are smaller and served individually, rather than family style and the presentations are amazing taking you from the boring regularity of most Indian restaurants. The bar menu is very extensive as well as the wine list. Though its not very busy now, I can see Chakra becoming a new hotspot once more people hear about it. And eventhough it says here that there are DJ's on the weekend, he is mistaken. Make a reservation and try it out today! Pros: Beautifully decorated, food, and customer service. Cons: Not as busy as I think it should be... more

A new twist on Indian food 11/30/2006

The food is fantastic, just don't go in expecting the dishes to be exactly the same as your run of the mill Indian food restaurants. Like most upscale hipster restaurants, Chakra reinvents the classics and adds some dishes that most have never heard of. Having been to the grand opening party as well as to the restaurant on a regular night (Thurs), I can say that the service is very attentive and professional. Even though the food and drinks are expensive (expect ~$30-$40/person for a drink plus one entree), the cool exotic ambience as well as the quality of the food makes it worth it. Pros: Food, interesting cocktails (Chakratinis), service, ambience, not very crowded on weekdays Cons: difficult to get to on a weekday during rush hour more

Great Indian fusion 11/30/2006

Excellent Indian food and an atmosphere that is both hip and romantic! We had attentive service and the option of eating outside on the patio Pros: Great food, fun drinks Cons: Expensive more
