"Cholanad is Chapel Hill’s longtime Franklin Street go-to for South Indian cuisine. The menu has Tamil specialties like urulai kizhangu podimas (a mashed potato-based dish), mutton chukka varuval, and fish tawa fry. There are also dosas, curries, and a variety of starters like egg porival, tandoori wings, and chicken 65. The cocktails skew tropical, like the Cholanad Delight with Southern Comfort, mango puree, and a sweet and sour mix." - Matt Lardie
