The overall experience was good. There were seven of us, including one vegetarian. For the non-vegitarians the food was good, except for one who chose scallops and found them to be tasteless lost in the sauce, however, the vegetarian commented that his food was poor. A minor, but annoying, side note: We ordered poppadoms for the table, two per head. This turned out to be two half poppadoms which was pretty annoying for all.

We had a team dinner (20 of us) and Chatora was a hit! The menu was fantastic and the owner accommodated different tastes and alterations without hesitation. Service was quite fast given our table size but we were not at all rushed. We will be coming back soon.
