Chauhan Ale & Masala House

You may know celebrity chef Maneet Chauhan as a judge on the Food Network’s “Chopped.” Nashvillians know her by her first local restaurant, Chauhan Ale & Masala House, which has wowed diners since its November 2014 opening in The Gulch area. Billed as modern Indian gastropub, Chauhan dazzles with the chef’s marvelous marriage of Southern staples and traditional Indian dishes. ​Exposed brick, a bar lined with peacock feathers, and Bollywood images projected on the walls adds to the unique ambiance.
