This restaurant company positioned its eateries for fast-growth despite the pandemic
Scaling a restaurant chain isn’t easy in any economy. It’s been even tougher for operators since COVID-19 arrived.

They are now on track to expand over the next few years to 30 locations at Choolaah, a chain of Indian restaurants known for melt-in-your-mouth dishes cooked in tandoori ovens at very high temperatures.
