Choila, sometimes Chhwela or Chhoyela (Nepali: छोयला) is a typical Newari dish that consists of spiced grilled buffalo meat.[1] Though the dish is traditionally made with water buffalo meat, mutton, chicken, duck meat, and mushroom are also used in contemporary versions. Usually eaten with rice flakes (chiura), this dish is typically very spicy.

It is considered a necessary part of the diet in festivals among the Newar community along with several other ingredients. It is also an important ingredient of Samay Baji.
