Chaikhana Of Blue Bell, Pa. Attracts Regional Attention


They are a small restaurant, in a tiny town in Pennsylvania, but Chaikhana Indian and Pakistani Restaurant is attracting regional attention. The restaurant reviews tell the story of customers who are happy to travel as long as 1/2 hour to taste the high quality Indian and Pakistani cuisine. Here’s what one customer had to say: “Many restaurants boast of having great food – but this place really lives up to its rave reviews.

Each time I’ve been here (after a 35 minute drive well worth taking)…”

Some of the customers favorably compared the fare in the restaurant to the food found in Indian and Pakistani eating establishments in nearby Philadelphia.

I would highly recommend this place – in my opinion, this is the finest Indian/Pakistani restaurant in Philly and the area.” But amazingly, these two customers weren’t the only two patrons who felt this way. Another diner wrote that: “My wife and I have tried 21 Indian restaurants in the Philadelphia region and by far the food at Chaikhana comes closest to the real deal.”

One thing that makes this restaurant so special is the cooking and personality of the owner/chief Kamran Khan. Kamran cam by cooking naturally, while studying at a Univeristy in America. He got homesick for traditional Pakistani cooking, and so he went out and bought a cookbook and began trying the various dishes. He soon started getting compliments from his friends, who enjoyed his creations. As the compliments built up, he must have thought about becoming a chief. What finally did the trick was a five year stint as volunteer chef for public broadcast TV fundraisers. Every year, he got so many compliments for his cooking that he knew he could succeed in the restaurant industry. Kamran describes his cooking as a blend of French influence with traditional Pakistani and Indian cooking. He likes to say that the spices in his dishes compliment the main ingredient of the dish and not the other way around.

So while people sometimes find the spices in Indian food overpowering, no one feels that way about the fare at Chaikhana. Although customers rave about a number of the dishes at the restaurant, the overwhelming favorite in the reviews appears to be the Chicken Kiryahi. Kamran won’t reveal the exact ingredients of the curry (gravy like sauce) of the dish, but his unique cooking style appears to have many adherents.
