By far the best cream chicken i have ever tasted! i dont mind the price since the food is so good here. Its fresh everytime you go in there so be prepared to wait for your food to be cooked. I like this place, its a very cosy restaurant.

We came all the way to Chawla's in Brampton to try out their Cream Chicken.
"Chawla's special Cream Chicken started in Nainital in the 1960 when late Sardar Attar Singh Chawla father of D.S. Chawla, Tajinder Chawla & I.P.S. Chawla, dished out his very own "Kali Mirch Ka Chicken", which instantly became a favourite with all. The family then improvised on the basics, adding another spice here and a little more pepper there and thus was born the Cream Chicken."
Cream Chicken took 15 minutes to cook as at Chawla's everything are cooked when order. CP 24 did keep my Yelp Friend entertained while I looked at the washroom door....
How's the famous Cream Chicken?? Remind me on Cream of Chicken Soup garnished with black pepper and herbs! Chicken was really moist and with a great texture. It tasted pretty good with the naan though!
Until.... I saw the price tag.... $14.99?! That's quite pricey for that few piece of chicken......$14.99?
My Yelp Friend was giving me this look when he ordered Hyderabadi Goat Biryani ($11.99). I think I started to like eating goat/lamb if they are prepared properly. The goat inside the biryani was tender and flavoured and not gamey at all. But not being gamey might not be a good thing??
Naan is complimentary on weekdays (Mon-Thu). Garlic Naan was crisp, light and not doughy, more like a flat bread.
Chawla's is a really small restaurant with full capacity at around 20 patrons. There were more people ordering takeout than eating in. 10% discount if for takeout orders, but call ahead since it takes a long time for your order to be ready! -

Cream Chicken is well known in the Western World.
From the pedestrian Campbell's to classic Bechamel.
It was more than interesting to find an Indian inspired.
A well franchised Indian brand landing in Brampton.
Not a bad place to dine by any means but be patient.
Takes time to freshly prepare the Food as noted.
Chawla Cream Chicken is the obvious choice to explore here.
I expected lots for the price point but not as impressed in the end.
I was lucky to get Naan complimentary on Weekdays(Mon-Thu).
I tried not to think about Campbell's Cream Soups too much.
But at the end it's only different by " " that much unfortunately.
Hyderabadi Goat Biryani($11.99) wasn't half bad.
Just got it to have something additional and filling.
Yeah, it looks different served with Jap-style plastic Boat dish.
That's what I call new fusion and inspiring.
