It took 50mins for our starters to come out and another 40mins for our food. They claimed to be short staffed and behind. Ambiance was a good environment for a social dinner. Forgot to get a photo of our main dish because I was so hungry when it finally came out.

Dishes looked glazed over at had a "crust". One example was the naan was hard and not even warm. Overall flavors were ok.

Chola Cafe is one of my favorite restaurants in Bentonville so far. I live near downtown and, IMO,…read morethere are too many restaurants in the area that are overpriced and prioritize aesthetic over food. After hearing good things about Chola Cafe, I came with two coworkers shortly after they reopened for dinner on a Saturday, and we ordered quite a spread: masala and mysore dosas, gobi manchurian, chettinad eggplant masala, and dal tadka. I was surprised that the restaurant was not very crowded, even though we arrived during peak dinner hours--which is not usually a good sign. False alarm: every dish was delicious, served piping hot, and all reasonably portioned and priced. My personal favorites were the eggplant, gobi manchurian, and the dosas--we definitely over-ordered, as we came to find out that the dosas are immense and probably the length of my arm. We were so engrossed in eating that it was only after we paid the bill and put our food into doggie bags that we realized all of the restaurant tables and booths were filled, and parties were lining up to be seated. Clearly, we were not the only ones enjoying our meals! I'm looking forward to coming back. Also, shoutout to the very sweet waiter who ran out after me when I left my phone in the booth.

The tandoori was delicious, fresh hot, the naan (chili and regular was moist with a tiny crisp on the edges). The Saag Paneer wash wonderful, fresh not over spiced, Chicken Tikka Masala and the chutneys... good and fresh! The owners brother came out to check on us with a big smile. I complimented the food. He said he is very proud to not use frozen vegetables or even frozen naan. The atmosphere is beautiful, see the pictures. The patio was closed during our visit, but the restaurant overlooks the lake. This is a great date restaurant. Even the gentle East Indian music adds to the ambiance. Lovely, really lovely.

If you love Indian food, stop pretending you haven't been looking for a place like this…read more Saffron Indian Cuisine is tucked away in an unassuming strip mall, but don't let that fool you. The ambiance is inviting, the service is refreshingly attentive, and the food is outstanding. My first visit was a casual dinner with a friend, and I left genuinely impressed. Chicken biryani, garlic butter naan, wine, under $30, full and leftovers. That alone should get your attention. This has become my regular takeout spot, and everyone I've brought or recommended it to agrees. Consistent, flavorful, and worth every visit. Go eat here. -- Nijah Q. of NYC

Clean and love the water pitchers on the table. If you get the buffet, no one bothers you. Everything you need is at the buffet or on the table. Comfortable booths and table seating is also available. A nice variety although some of the more popular dishes were not on the buffet, such as butter chicken. Prices for the amount of food we got/ate was quite high. Still a nice experience overall.

It took something like 30 minutes to get our food and even then some of the orders weren't right. We got there around 11:30 am and there weren't more than two other tables of people there for lunch. At least one of the groups left after they ordered because of the wait. If they were able to get the prep and service times down, we'd certainly go back. Again, the food was FANTASTIC, but the amount of time it took to get it was more than we could handle.
