Pick-up lunch at Chola

If you're in the mood for a filling Indian lunch, hit Midtown East's Chola. 

I chose the Chicken Chutneywalla.  Normally, I would resist a mango dish because it is too sweet, but this had just a hint of mango flavor in a curry sauce with mint and ginger.  You also get Dal (Vegetarian Soup), basmati rice and naan.

For $10, you can't go wrong for lunch and the quality is pretty great (unlike Baluchi's);
but for the price of dinner, head down the block to Dawat.
