Each were delicious in their own way: if I had to choose one I definitely would've gotten the lamb vindaloo again

I can honestly say, they've kept a consistent quality in service which has earned a five-star rating from me. The last I had them was back in 2014. Their food and atmosphere is just as good as it was back then. The server, Nabi, was truly hospitable to me and my boyfriend, kindly accommodating us with our requests. At the end, they even had it a complimentary dessert to share!

Food tastes great, service is really nice, but the portion sizes are too small for the price they charge. Mango lassi is delicious and the samosas with the sause are one of my favourites, having the right amount of spicy and sour. Inside it is cleand and newly remodeled. Would recommend this place.

Outstanding Dining Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Absolutely phenomenal! From the first bite to the last, the flavors were perfectly balanced and expertly prepared. The quality of the ingredients truly shines through in every dish. The presentation was beautiful, the service was attentive without being intrusive, and the atmosphere was wonderful. This is easily some of the best food I've had in a long time—a must-visit for anyone who appreciates a truly great meal. Can't wait to come back!"

As someone with extremely high standards for Indian food, this restaurant completely satisfied me. I have not found comparable flavor quality in Chicago. For context, I ordered the chana masala and chicken biriyani through UberEats. The chickpea in the chana masala was perfectly cooked and the curry possessed a rich, smooth flavor profile. As for the chicken biriyani, it was well balanced with all the appropriate Indian spices and contained tender, juicy chicken; I also loved the addition of the lemon slice. Finally, I was very impressed with the complimentary achar and portion size. Overall, I will be ordering again in the future!!

I just want to show some support here. I’ve had great food and consistently good experiences, and it’s obvious the team really cares. No place is perfect all the time, but this one is absolutely worth visiting. Busy places sometimes have small slip-ups — that usually means people actually want to be there. And people come here because the food is good. Growth and improvement are part of hospitality, and that spirit is very much present here.
