Chola

Great service, pricey but delishious drinks. Don't get fooled by the modest entrance, this is a casual chick atmosphere with delishious buffet/rodízio style. Have a mango martini as well !

For the must haves: naan ,uttapan,Tikka and lemon rice . Also go for a fruity martini to pair with the fun flavors you about to experience. The waiter will bring a potatoes pancake try it !

Great food. Gobi app was very good. Chicken tikka , Malai kofta both very good. Lychee martini not so good. Coconut rice is nice.

Simply incredible. The weekend lunch buffet is delectable with a varied fare of creative dishes. Ask Raj, super friendly server with a ready smile, for a portion of kitchen ready tandoori chicken !

Best traditional Indian fare in E Midtown has $10 lunch specials (entree+naan+dal+rice) & an excellent dine-in buffet ($14 M-Th; $15 Fri-Sun). Reservations needed esp for wkend buffet .

Very delicious food! I recommend the veggie samosas , Aloo Gobi (cauliflower & potato ) , saag paneer , and Shetty chicken coconut curry . Good bottled beers too.

One of the best, most authentic North Indian places in the city outside of Jackson Heights. The weekend buffet is always fresh and hot and an amazing deal.

The lunch buffet is ridiculously delicious! I loved everything that I tried here : ) tons of meat and veggie options and great sauces!

The okra appetizer was the best I've had in my life and I'm from the south! I wanted to cancel my entree and order more! Delicious meal and wonderful service.

Best (and most reasonably priced) Indian brunch in NYC. Everything is good. Go at noon when they open to avoid a wait.

By a wide margin the best Indian lunch buffet I have ever encountered. Great taste, huge selection, same price as much less tasty options.

Extremely high quality lunch buffet , among the best I’ve had. Expensive, but worth it.

Lunch buffet . Please oh please eat the little medhu vadas in the lunch buffet , if nothing else tempts you these drops of heaven will make you sooo happy. And don't miss out the bitter gourd .

One of the best place in NYC to eat Indian food . Really great!!! Lunch buffet is cheap and soooo tasty!!!! My fav Indian spot in NYC!

My favorite Indian buffet lunch in the city ! The tikka masala is worth the trip to midtown.

Amazing 'Aunt Murli's Fish Moile'- delicate fish stew with coco milk , curry leaves , and. Cumin seeds do the trick! #AgainAgain

Best Indian lunch buffet in the city . By far. And amazing dinner selection at a reasonable price. Love!

Chicken tikka masala , naan , and the shrink appetizer with red masala sauce were all amazing!

As an Indian person I thought this was very authentic and very good food

vegetarian starters: the lasoni cauliflower and ragara chat are both amazing!

The soft, fluffy naan goes perfectly with the chicken tikka masala . Get it!

The saag paneer (spinach and cheese ) is delicious.

The Malai Kulfi here easily competes with the best in India...A Must try!
