SCOLA CAFE — Restaurant in Chandigarh

Pesto Rubbed Grilled Chicken in Red Wine Sauce (Pic 1) & Pork Belly in Sweet Chilli Sauce (Pic 2) @scolachd

I've loved Scola food for years. They've been doing food as close to authentic or perhaps as far away from Indianising it, as is possible.

Interestingly, I learned from @pahwapavit that they started as an Indian restaurant!! A few months in, they decided to alter it to a Mediterranean one.

Unbelievable that he could drop that original idea, turn it on its head and give us Gusto & finally Scola as we know it today. It just surprises me that from 'Tadkas & Masalas' they've come to 'Delicate Flavours'.

These are the flavors that most people love Scola for! Fresh, good quality food and there are some really good dishes one shouldn't miss here.

The Chicken was what I got, coated with a generous pesto rub and perfectly grilled it was juicy and like I say, didn't need a knife to be cut through. The charred peppers brought in the smoky sweet flavors and that red wine sauce which possibly had Balsamic added the perfect amount of acidity to cut through all other flavors. I don't think there's any red chili in this dish or perhaps very little, and I'm glad about that!

The Pork Belly was my recommendation to @guneet__josan who was looking to get a Salad because his trainer had put him on a healthy diet! (Can't believe he fell for it) But the idea was to feed him something delicious and he could only thank me for replacing his Salad with the Pork Belly!!

I did taste it, couldn't resist knowing it's one of the best in town. The Sweet Chilli Sauce has just the right amount of heat & lemongrass that cuts through all the fat of the crispy Pork Belly. That sauce is just amazing, it's addictive!

One of the better meals I've had lately. I've always recommended certain dishes at Scola and precisely for the way they do their food. It's not what you'd get at most other places which kinda 'spike' their food with tangy somewhat spicy stuff making it acceptable to our Indian Palate.

However, the best part of the meal was @guneet__josan thanking me & smiling after devouring the...

A hidden surprise which was recommended by a customer. They don't believe in publicity but great service. And rightly so Nestled in the prime location of sector 7 amongst the many speciality eateries Scola is a limited seated cafe. A notable mediterranean effect is visible in the decor and theme running all over. The menu is focused on Mediterranean cuisine but they are open to serve any food,if it's possible for them. One of the client with us was glucose and lactose intolerant so they went out of the way to serve all the dishes,of possible, to our choice. This gesture is highly appreciated when you consider a customer's preference as supreme and go all out. Pizza base was crusty and the toppings were all fresh with a generous sprinkling of the microgreens. There was no need to add any additive like chilly flakes, oregano or salt --- it was just perfect.

Mezze platter had an assortment of dips -- most of us gluten and lactose free except for two. Pita bread was fresh and warm and just perfect. . I just wish the presentation was more interesting and visibly appealing. All the three coolers were fresh and just perfect. I would personally recommend cucumber mint .

Decadent chocolate cake was just too good -- melted in the mouth. Absolutely perfect. Hot chocolate which is highly recommended in the reviews are certainly not a disappointment. Right consistency and great taste.

The staff here is very aware of the menu and are very sincere and truthful. Wish a little awareness about the origin or other minor queries of a customer -- they should be briefed. Something important like the meaning of Scola.

Overall it was a great culinary...

Scola is a lively cafe serving experimental Spanish, Greek, Moroccan, Turkish and Italian Food along with Beer & Wine.
