" Dining at Chola was delightful! Authenticity is their strong suit. I loved the variety of dishes, especially the coastal specialties. The restaurant was a bit small, leading to some crowding, but the ambiance was warm and inviting. I cannot recommend the garlic naan enough. It paired wonderfully with everything we ordered! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Chola. The lamb biryani was incredible, and the portion size was generous. However, the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed which slowed down service a bit. Still, it was worth the wait for that delicious food! I’m happy to see this level of authenticity in NYC Indian restaurants. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chola is a landmark for those who love Indian food, especially coastal cuisine. The menu is rich with options that offer a taste of authenticity. My friends and I enjoyed a mix of vegetarian and seafood dishes. The freshness and spice levels were on point. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for excellent Indian dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chola has a lovely atmosphere with good food. The service was a little slow, but it was understandable given the crowd. I enjoyed the garlic naan and chicken curry, both were authentic. A great place to experience Indian cuisine in NYC! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chola wasn't what I expected. The food was decent, but it missed the mark on authenticity. The ambiance was lovely, and service was friendly, but some dishes felt a bit toned down for Western palates. I would suggest trying their more traditional items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have enjoyed every single meal at Chola. Their attention to authentic flavors is what keeps bringing me back. The service has always been on point, though at times a tad slow when busy. The ambiance is nice, perfect for any occasion. I recommend it to anyone craving true Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good food but service needs improvement. I celebrated my birthday there and the staff was very polite but slow to respond. I enjoyed the biryani and the naan, both were great, but the wait between courses was frustrating. I'm willing to give them another chance as the food had potential! " (*Curated Review*)
