Vignesh and Swathika at Chola Indian Cuisine provide outstanding customer service. They are extremely polite and have a wonderful attitude when dealing with customers, which always makes our experience pleasant and enjoyable. Recently, we tried a new dish from the restaurant, and it was absolutely delicious! It paired perfectly with porotta and had a rich, flavorful taste without being too spicy. I don’t recall the exact name as I’m not great at remembering dish names, but it was something like a Malai-style Chicken Kebab—it was their special of the day and definitely a must-try! Highly recommended for both the service and the food!!!

Really superb dishes and flavours we enjoyed every single dish we ordered except chicken tandoori. The service was exceptional and the waiter (Mr.vignesh) was so polite and kind enough to walk us through the menu and provided great hospitality. !

We ordered the tandoori chicken, rava masala dosa and paneer dosa. Everything was cooked very well. The tandoori chicken is a must try here. We ordered a parotha with it as well. Would love to come back. The service was very quick.

Chola restaurant has been our go to for authentic South Indian cuisine. Recently tried their weekend special - Tandoori Pompfret (available over phone order). It was seasoned well and the masala balanced well with the flavour of the fish. Must try!

I recently found myself working nearby and in need of a quick refreshment, so I decided to pop into Chola Indian Cuisine. What a pleasant surprise! The restaurant had such a calm and cozy vibe, offering a perfect escape from the hustle of the day. The service was impressively quick and friendly—within five minutes, I had my chai served, hot and perfectly spiced. It was so fresh and flavorful that I ended up going for a second round. I can't wait to return and grab dinner from here soon. Cheers for now, Chola! You've definitely earned a new regular.

One of the best dosa i have tried in recently times. Also enjoy lollipop chicken, fried rice and masala egg. All highly recommend. And of course filter coffee to end the meal.
