58th Street has several great restaurants that specialize in Indian food. Since they opened in 1998, Chola has been a go-to for my family, originally at their now closed Greenwich, CT location, and then here in the city. Therefore, I was pleased to introduce the Manhattan Sideways team to their buffet one day when we were in need of a hearty lunch. Offering a variety of choices served in their silver chafing dishes, including the classics chicken tikka masala and saag paneer, we were pleasantly surprised when our waiter brought over a basket of warm naan, dosas filled with potatoes and pieces of chicken straight from the tandoori oven. He explained that this was all part of the one price for their lunch buffet. An abundance of food, but there were no complaints as we left sated and ready to walk.
