" Dinner at CholaNad was a mixed bag for me. The food lacked the spicy kick that I was expecting from authentic Indian cuisine, and the portion size seemed smaller compared to what I’ve had at other Indian restaurants. However, the atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, and the service was decent. I may give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing such rave reviews about CholaNad, my friends and I were excited to try it out during our weekend outing. We ordered a variety of dishes, including dosas and curries, and everything was delicious! Though the wait for our table was a bit long, the service made up for it by being attentive and warm. I highly suggest trying the dal fritters. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a family dinner at CholaNad and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The food was delicious but not overly spicy – a plus for my children. The service was friendly but could improve their speed. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, making it a great spot for a family meal. Hoping to go back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" CholaNad surprised me with how well they handle large groups. We had a family gathering there, and the service was seamless despite having a full house. Food was delicious as expected. One can’t go wrong with their butter chicken! The ambiance was welcoming and suitable for families. Definitely a place to consider for group events. " (*Curated Review*)

" CholaNad has delightful South Indian dishes that filled my cravings! I loved the Idli with coconut chutney, but the service left much to be desired. While our server was personable, they were swamped and didn’t check in often enough, which hiccupped our experience slightly. I believe a bit more staff could push this hidden gem to the next level. " (*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*)
