  1. Chola

    Southern Indian

    Gleaming metal bowls arrive at the table like a small procession, which sets the tone at this elegant Southern Indian restaurant on a stretch of 58th Street lined with design shops and upscale neighbors. The room is calm and polished, cream walls and grey upholstery, with servers who seem to genuinely enjoy the job. The kitchen pulls toward the southern coastal tradition, Goan fish curry and Chettinad chicken among the reasons to return.
