A South Indian Culinary Gem.

If you're craving authentic South Indian localised cuisine, Cholanad is a must-visit. My recent return after some time away revealed a delightful transformation, from a completely revamped menu to a rich and inviting ambiance. Parking was a breeze in their dedicated lot behind the restaurant, a definite plus. The staff was courteous and attentive, and the food arrived promptly.

The menu boasts a wide array of options, including an impressive Thali and numerous appealing combos. While they don't offer a buffet, the extensive selection more than compensates. I opted for the Fish Kuzhambhu and fry combo, and it was exceptional. The generous portion included two pieces of perfectly fried fish and four substantial pieces in the flavorful curry – excellent value for the price. We also savored a very high quality Set dosa, Parotta, and Appam combo, accompanied by a rich Goat Milagu curry and a fragrant Chicken Curry. Every dish was a testament to authentic South Indian flavors. It was, without a doubt, one of the best South Indian meals I've had in a long time. Will sure return.

Parking: Lot of free parking behind the restaurant. During weekends, it could fill up depending on your time of visit.

Had a 7:45 reservation, did not get seated until 8:10, we sat down and did not get drinks until 8:27 . We did not leave until 10:20 the longest wait and dining experience of my life . Good Indian food but not anything special.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience. We drove 25 miles expecting a good meal, but the food quality was poor, the portion sizes were extremely small, and to make it worse, the food was served cold. This completely ruined our visit. Main course Kothu Parotta, Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Biryani was ok. But all the starters that were tried Lamb chat (half cooked), Mutton sukka(full of bones), Boneless Fish Fry, Prawn Fry (just 5 pieces) were hopeless. I wouldn't recommend to anyone. I hope you address these issues to improve your service for future customers.
