"Chauhan is an Indian-Southern cooking mashup that somehow pulls off dishes like whipped paneer, saag mac and cheese, and chili cheese kulcha with expert consistency. The food is best for sharing, so bring a group, settle into one of the cozy booths, and count on a lively and animated (re: loud) dining room. Adding to the all-around buzzy din: rounds of punchy cocktails like the Bollywood Breeze made with tequila, genupy, and falernum, and pints of local beer from Tennessee Brew Works." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
"Travel just north of the Gulch to find two eateries by famed celebrity chef Maneet Chauhan. This one, bearing her name, marries a traditional approach to Indian dishes with an appreciation for Southern ingredients. Before diving into the desi fare section, make a pit stop at the appetizers for gol guppa shots. The Mockingbird is Chauhan’s sister restaurant in the neighborhood and is well-known for its over-the-top brunch dishes." - Eater Staff
"One of three local restaurants from celebrity chef Maneet Chauhan, downtown’s Chauhan Ale & Masala House marries traditional techniques used in Indian dishes with a nod to Nashville’s Southern sensibilities. Before diving into entrees like the masala braised lamb, make a pit stop at the appetizers for some whipped paneer (a riff on the locally popular whipped feta) and gol guppa shots." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
"Chauhan and Deora opened Chaatable in 2018 to a great deal of local hype, having already opened three Nashville restaurants: Chauhan Ale and Masala House in 2014." - Clair Lorell
"Chef Maneet Chauhan breathed new life and star power into the Nashville dining scene through her eponymous restaurant, Chauhan. The menu taps into Chauhan’s Indian roots while also tapping into the local southern flavor. The tandoori chicken poutine, lamb keema papadi nachos, and her own interesting ode to a Nashville meat-and-three are all distinctive choices." - Delia Jo Ramsey
