I have been to many Indian restaurants in NY but have never come across such an overrated restaurant by Tripadviser readers!! So so disappointed and certainly will not recommend or revisit this place ever again in future. I ordered Medhu Vada as a starter. It came with a very tasteless and watery Coconut sauce. I assure you that is not... More

We read some very positive reviews about Chola and we were not disappointed when we dined here for the first time. After a busy morning of shopping and walking around the East Side, including a trip to nearby Roosevelt Island, Chola was a welcome oasis for two very hungry and tired people!

very good food and service- lot of Indian restaurants on that block, but this one stands out, Excellent value for lunch also.

We were looking for Indian cuisine options in New York and came across with some good reviews for Chola. I would say it definitely stands up to its reviews, Excellent food, great service. Good value for money.

Could just have been my taste buds at the time, but I really didn't think our take out from Chola was very special at all. My family thought otherwise, so I'm sure we'll give it another try...
