Since opening doors in 1998 to a New York Times review, "an Indian restaurant breaks the mold,” Chola has been at the forefront of innovating Indian cuisine in NYC. Now focusing on flavors derived from the 8,000 miles of Indian coastline, Chola presents these seaside delicacies in a modern, fine-dining context. This Fall 2019, Chola’s new menu embarks on a journey along the shores of the western states of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala, to the eastern states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Bengal. Join us as we explore the best of what India’s coastal palate has to offer.
“Amazing place!Glad that we checked out this Michelin rated family run restaurant. Everything we ordered was awesome including Achari tikka, chicken Chettinad, but the chicken biryani was extra ordinary. Must have. Nice of the owners to help me celebrate my birthday with dessert. Highly recommend and will visit again.”
“Food: Went with my girlfriend, it’s my favorite cuisine, it was delicious. Cashew curry is an old favorite, and tikka masala is classic so we tried and loved both. Not spicy at all if you prefer the mild side you’d enjoy the options here. And there were spicy options that I will be trying next time. Service: There were strands in our food that I was worried were something like plastic but it was just ginger and the manager and server were very attentive to the request to check. Also we did have a reservation that we were on time for but had a 5+ minute wait. Not a huge issue for me but it should be mentioned. Atmosphere: We dined around 7:30pm, it was quite busy, all tables taken and a few groups waiting outside from time to time. Also I eat a toooooon but the food was quite filling. I left feeling satiated and honestly looking forward to my next dinner here”
“Had a wonderful dining experience here! The food was absolutely delicious, and you can really tell the quality from the first bite especially the meats, which were perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor without being over or underdone. We ordered the Achari Murgh Kebab, Royyala Veppudu, Tandoori Murgh, Mughlai Chicken Biryani, Malabar Parota, purani Delli Ki Papri Chaat, and Lamb Madras, and every single dish was outstanding. The kebabs were juicy, the seafood was flavorful, the biryani was rich and aromatic, and the lamb madras was cooked to perfection with deep, balanced spices. Each dish was oozing with freshness and taste. The staff were also very down-to-earth, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better. This place is a must-try, and I highly recommend these dishes if you visit definitely coming back again!”
“We came here for dinner and the food did not disappoint, every meal item we ordered was cooked to perfection. We had the lamb chops one of the best lamb chops I have ever eaten, the lamb biriyani fell right off of the bone.”
“Chola Coastal Indian Cuisine - Where every bite tells a story and every corner whispers elegance,where every dish is a work of art, and every moment is unforgettable.🫰🏻Everything from the grill to the plate smells and tastes delicious. We tried the Dak Bungalow Murgh Curry, Paneer Khurchan, Paneer Malai Tikka, Martha Stewart’s Favorite Murgh Malai, Chicken Biryani, and Martha Stewart’s Favorite Onion Naan. For dessert, we had the Kolkata Tomato Chutney—a refreshing sweet chutney with Panch Phoron and gulab jamun with rasmalai twist, beautifully decorated with chocolate sauce. The Murgh Malai was incredibly tender—definitely a must-try dish! The food was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. More than a meal, it's an experience.😌 The cozy ambiance and friendly staff made it a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy flavorful Indian cuisine in a welcoming setting.😋 This is a restaurant where people from all backgrounds—not just Indians—can enjoy the food. Thank you for the amazing service and for making our dining experience truly wonderful. Everything—from the food to the attention we received—was perfect. We felt genuinely cared for and will definitely be coming back! ❤️”
