Profile

Located in the heart of midtown Toronto, Chakra was created out of a desire to offer fantastic Indian food in an atmosphere of elegance and comfort. Designed around modern contemporary artwork reflecting the Rajasthan region, the restaurant resonates the vibrant colours of India. Each dish—including many curries and tandoori items—has been designed to deliver a fresh, made-to-order entrée. From tandoori Cornish hen to mewa kebabs to crab and shrimp curries, the menu offers exceptional dishes not typically available. Our select wine list has been chosen to match these flavourful dishes of India. Chakra—simply revolutionary Indian cuisine!
