Chola

Every time I visit Manhattan, I include Chola in my itinerary. It’s one of the best Indian restaurants on the island. It’s also important to mention that both the service and the atmosphere of the establishment are impeccable. Its location: unbeatable.

great restaurant especially for midtown! service is very friendly and the naan is so good. the seating is also good but i wish the lighting were a bit less sleepy. overall i would come back

Chola is by far the best Indian restaurant we visited in Manhattan. The food is exceptionally good with great flavours of Indian spices. The menu is thoughtfully curated & balanced. The upscale ambiance & warmth of the staff made our dining experience yet more memorable. Highly Recommend: 1. Panner Malai Tikka 2. Martha Stewart's Fav Murgh Malai 3. Dak Bungalow Murgh Curry

The food were amazing, our server was kind enough to help us with the menu pairing. We enjoyed the restaurant vibe which is quiet and chill. I’m coming back for more of the garlic naan!

Chola was incredible. I enjoyed the food and had lovely cocktails that complemented the food perfectly. It was an incredible space to chat with my best friend, and the ambiance was delightful. It did take a while for the servers to process the bill, but we were in no rush. Overall, I loved this location and the food; incredible quality for an incredible price.

Love this place so much!!! The kindest staff, the service is outstanding, they are so kind and really take care and make your dining experience wonderful! The food is incredible and my favorite Indian food in Manhattan!! Could not recommend more!

One word to describe this restaurant is Exceptional! I can keep adding adjectives to fill the reviews but they don’t do justice to the food we ate here ! If you are in search of authentic Indian Food that does real justice to Indian cuisine then this has to be high on your list in NYC . We started with the Rupee Lager which goes well with Indian food . For appetizers we ordered Royyala Vepudu (Shrimp tossed with Onions and spices ) served with a side of Malabar Paratha. One bite of it and we knew we are in for a treat here . Perfectly balanced spices transport you to a nice coastal town in India. For entree, we went for the Lobster Ghee Roast and the Kozhi Chettinad ! Lobster Ghee Roast - If you want to feel what culinary heaven looks like, order this gem of a dish here and thank me later . The subtleties of the dish is beyond words. I’ve never had a better balanced ghee roast and that too with lobster which was cooked on point ! Kozhi Chettinad - True to the way they cook in the restaurants of Chennai this one was the perfect rendition of the Chettinad Curry I’ve had in USA but even that was overshadowed by the Ghee Roast ! Can’t remember the last time I felt so happy coming out of a restaurant! Thanks team Chola for the wonderful food ! God bless and keep up the great job! Highly recommend
