While Shiva has passed the torch to his protégé and current owner, Min Bhujel, his heart remains with his crown jewel as he stays heavily involved in menu development. Notably, Shiva has just added 25 new dishes to the menu, a testament to his dedication to culinary excellence and recent travels to India to uncover and share original recipes beloved by billions.At Chola, the culinary journey begins in the kitchen, where every spice blend, chutney, and sauce are made from scratch in-house to ensure a rich tapestry of authentic Indian flavors. From the aroma of freshly ground spices to the delicate balance of regional nuances, each dish is a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. While the service embodies the ethos of Indian hospitality and the principle of &quot;Atithi Devo Bhava”, meaning “the guest is god.”Chola offers a well-curated international wine list, a selection of Indian beers, and a cocktail program curated by Allen Katz,
