" Love love love CholaNad! The attention to detail in maintaining authentic flavors is commendable. I ordered the prawn curry, which was packed with spices yet subtle enough for my liking. A warm inviting atmosphere completes the experience, although I found the server a bit reserved. Overall, wonderful food that keeps me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was fortunate enough to be invited to a birthday celebration at CholaNad, and it did not disappoint! We shared a variety of dishes from thali to dosas, all brimming with flavor. The space was comfortably set up for our large party, and I can only commend the staff for managing it so well amidst the busyness. I will definitely recommend it for group outings. " (*Curated Review*)

" CholaNad offers a wonderful selection of South Indian dishes, and I particularly enjoyed their thali. It was abundant with flavors, and the portions were generous for the price. While it took a little longer to get seated, our server was friendly and checked in regularly. A great place overall for authentic Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I walked into CholaNad, the aroma of spices hit me, promising a delightful meal ahead. I ordered the Chicken Chettinad, which was a delight! The heat level was just right, with rich flavors that reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. I also loved the ambiance; it's warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my visit to CholaNad! The dosas were perfectly crispy, and the chutneys served alongside were bursting with flavor. Our server was attentive even during peak hours, making sure we had everything we needed. I particularly enjoyed the ambience – just the right amount of bustling atmosphere but not overwhelming. Will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my doubts cooking Indian food at a restaurant, but CholaNad delivered wonderfully. I ordered the chole bhature, and it was the best I’ve had! The authentic taste transported me straight to India. The service was welcoming and thoughtful, ensuring that I had everything I needed, from drink refills to menu recommendations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must admit, my expectations were high as I've always heard great things about this restaurant. The food was quite tasty, but seemed lacking in the depth of flavor I anticipated. Service was a bit slow, especially considering it wasn't very busy. Overall, a decent place to visit once, though I'm not sure I'll rush back. " (*Curated Review*)
