Chulo Restaurant & Bar

The dumpling were awesome and the eggplant was out of this world good. Service is great and personable. This was our first time and will be back with guest!

Plenty of seating on a Sunday evening. The staff are friendly and attentive, they were helpful in explaining the menu and keeping us supplied with water and drinks.The alcoholic mango lassi cocktail was a unique choice and would recommend!Particularly enjoyed their samosas and the tandoori chicken. The momos were a bit of a miss, I would recommend finding a dedicated Nepali restaurant for those.Prices are fairly reasonable too, although the Yelp coupon didn't work, the staff were kind enough to apply the discount manually.

I'm a huge Indian food lover and having traveled to Nepal, I live a touch of nepalese. This place hits the spot in every way.

Chulo Restaurant & Bar had a discount coupon on Grubhub, so I decided to give it a shot, and I wasn't disappointed. The food was great and at an incredibly affordable price. Even though I am typically a meat lover, I decided to go with the vegetarian version of the Royal Chulo Khaja Set for $15.99 (I think chicken was $1 extra).Royal Chulo Khaja Set (Veg) - I'm not positive what came with this set and what was extra/side things that are included, but the $15.99 order came with 4 tupperwares of dishes and 3 smaller containers with sides. I'll do my best to describe the different components:Vegetable curry - this container was jam packed and almost bursting. It had some cauliflower, peas, carrots, and maybe potatoes? Possibly also some broccoli, but all of the vegetables were soft and absorbed the mild curry very well. There was a lot of flavor here, and I probably only ate half of the contained because there were so many other dishes.Aloo tama soup - this had black eyed peas in it and was absolutely delicious. The soup was thin but still packed with flavor. It went extremely well with the flattened/beaten rice.Beaten rice - I love this and actually buy it at the market a lot to have at home. Each gran of rice is flattened and dried/fried to be extremely crispy. It has a great texture and takes on the flavor of whatever you mix it with - in this case, the aloo tama soup and the vegetable curry were great candidates.Black chickpea curry - this was also another tasty curry that came in one of the larger tupperware dishes. It was a pretty standard chickpea dish, but it was a bit on the spicy side for me. Still, it was a nice addition to the massive amounts of food that the platter already contained.Basic salad - this was in a small container and had raw cucumber, red onion, and carrot. It was a bit strange to have with no sauce, but it was a nice and refreshing break from the spicier curries.Roasted soybeans and peanuts - I had never had this before but it was STRONG. It had a wasabi/horseradish flavor to it, and it was rather spicy. Still, it offered a nice crunch and was tasty as long as I didn't have a big bite of it on its own. It was a nice addition to the other dishes, and the crunch went well with the crunch from the flattened rice.Aachar - last was this mixed pickled veggie paste. I'm not sure if that's actually what it is, but it's what it tasted like, and it had a nice acidic flavor to it to balance out some of the richer curries. Really, everything went together tremendously well, and there was an incredible amount of value for $15.99. I do wish there was some rice included apart from the flattened rice, because after I finished that, I still had a bunch of sides and curries leftover. I ended up making my own rice and flatbread to soak up the remainder of the dishes, but just the fact that I had so much leftover after eating the included flattened rice is a benefit. The last bit of feedback was that I did order the least spicy option, but some of the dishes were still rather spicy. Still, the flavor was full and delicious - 4/5 stars!

I drive by this place all the time...like several times per week. I've always wanted to try it and I finally did it. I ordered via Yelp for pickup. There are several parking spaces right up front on the street, but they also have a lot around back. The restaurant looks pretty nice inside. There were no customers at all in the dining room. I was greeted upon entering and everyone seemed pretty friendly. There was also a ad for live music on specific nights...if you're into that kind of thing. There is a large bar inside, too. As for the food, I would give it 2.5/5. I ordered the steamed and fried chicken momos/dumplings and I can't say I was impressed. I'm a big dumpling guys, mostly with chinese types of dumplings. However, I also frequent popular momo places like momo n curry and tasty momo in cambridge/somerville. I really wanted to love these momos from Chulo as this place is more convenient for me. They just don't compare favorably to the other momos I've had in the city. I also didn't feel great after eating them. The samosa chaat had good feedback from my wife, however.

So glad we stopped here for dinner! This place is delicious. We might've gone overnoard with ordering though.We got the veg samosas which were pretty good. Then the chicken chow mein came out and that was exciting. I wasn't sure about chow mein here at first but oh man it was the thing to get!Then the naan came out. We got the regilar and garlic naans. Then we each got chicken tikka masala. The curries usually comes with rice so if you want naan you have to order separately. We then got the kothey momos.Oh my gosh...what a table full of food.All were very good. My eyes are definitely bigger than my belly. If you're trying to keep to an appropriate portion, I'd either go curry, naan and maybe the momo or chow mein.We would definitely visit again if we come by this area down the line!

Great Service from the moment we stepped in. It seemed they care for the food they serve and how they serve. The appetizers came out fast and although I was not entirely in a mood to order anything Indian I did end up getting the Daal Makhani. It pains me to see reddish Dal Makhani getting served which also has cream in it. I wish I can return just by looking at it that it's soooooo WRONG to put cream in it. 1.5 star taken out for otherwise tasty Nepali food. The Kwati Soup was awesome and is a perfect comfort food to have esp when the weather is a bit chilly. The thali was great with all the items being tasty (the dal was what i thought will be served when I ordered dal makhani - maybe I got overly excited and then got disappointed.) Ok I restore back half a star and make it a solid 4There seems to be a stage for live performances and will definitely try to figure that out : The whats and the whens. Will I make a trip to eat food? Nahhhh (maybe for the live music? Dunno) Will I be back if am in the area? Always yes if am hungry for some grub.

The best Indian food! My daughter was raving about this restaurant so we finally gave it a try on our visit to Waltham last night. She did not exaggerate. Everything was delicious from the Chicken tikka Masala to the Palak Paneer. The highlight for me was the Lamb Vindaloo. We got everything medium spicy and the rice and naan were enough to cut the kick! Everyone was friendly and attentive and the addition of live music was a nice surprise . This meal inspired me to book a trip to India next year! Until then we will be back here soon.

I LOVE Indian food. It's my "Deserted Island Cuisine." (If I'm stuck on a deserted island and can eat only one thing for the rest of my life, it's Indian, hands down.). This place is fantastic. It's very well appointed, the food is awesome, they have a very extensive cocktail menu, and it's all *very* reasonably priced. They even have live music 1x per week.Get here.

As a South Indian man living away from his mother, I'm always looking for comfort Indian food. I've been in Boston for about 8 years and I definitely have my top 10 Indian food spots. Chulo has sneaked its way into this list over the course of several visits. I haven't seen that many South Indian cuisines represented well, other than the obvious dosa spots. Subtle food intricacies. They'll occasionally do live music, bridging into the modern feel. Good local spot.
