“We stopped by this restaurant on our way back from suberb, and it turned out to be one of the best dining decisions of the trip. The moment you step in, the ambiance leaves a lasting impression — elegant, spacious, and beautifully designed with just the right mix of modern and traditional elements. It has a lively yet relaxing vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. We decided to try a few appetizers along with their chilli gobi (spicy version), and everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. The dal makhani had just the right amount of heat and buttery richness — exactly how it should be. The portion size was generous, and the presentation was thoughtful. The starters were equally good, flavorful, and nicely seasoned. You could tell that a lot of attention went into the ingredients and preparation. The staff was courteous, attentive, and made sure our dining experience was comfortable throughout. The service was quick, even though the restaurant seemed quite busy when we visited. It’s always a great sign when a place manages to maintain quality and warmth during rush hours. Overall, this is a wonderful stop for anyone craving authentic modern Indian flavors in chicago. Whether you are a local or passing through, it’s worth checking out. My recommendations. Chilli gobi. Vegetable tikka masala Onion pakora Samosa. Garlic naan Mango lassi . They have the best butter chicken in the city .”

“Authentic Indian food , so good and delicious my favorite butter chicks a must try”
“Well every now and then I crave Indian food and it's one of those moments it's actually the least favorite of the ethnic cuisines of Asia. But they are distinct that I like some of their food and I didn't know any buffets and I kept seeing this restaurant whenever I go to work in downtown Chicago. When I take the blue line and I kept seeing this restaurant when I would eat at Thai lagoon across the street. Well this was my payday and I decided to give this place a bucket list try. It is also still lent so I'm still following the Catholic not eating red meat or poultry. The waitress in regards to service since they just opened up I learned by coincidence since they were renovating mentioned that they did have seafood entrees and of course I didn't want shrimp I ate more on the fish side and they had salmon. But to start off I had the crispy onion pakora which was delicious for an appetizer It's basically almost like a deep fried onion ring with a fresh spinach colored emerald green dip that compliments and it was not too greasy. Then came My main dish of the salmon tikka masala and garlic naan. I would have ordered this in beef or lamb for tikka masala but since it's lent for me I have to eat fish It was okay but it would have been better if this was lamb if I could imagine chewing and savoring The pasty almost tomato like sauce with its spices and tanginess but it also tasted good to it salmon but lamb would have been better. The naan was ok I think a bit too garlicky but I would probably order the butter one next time cuz this was a garlic naan. They're mango lassi was very fresh however one of the reasons for the four stars although they gave me one on the house because they had a very limited dessert menu with ice cream and that's not really traditional Indian. But going back with the lasee the portion was just too small for $5. I would come back again other than that they gave the second last seat on the house and I didn't get charged but I would suggest they add a bigger mango lassee I had mentioned to the waitress or server. Ambiance was a little modern like I said they just opened after 3 weeks of being closed otherwise I came by coincidence that they just opened since the renovation.”
“Great customer service and great good with amazing portions. I had chicken biriyiani and I couldn't finish it because it was a huge amount, i took it Home. I recommend you to not eat before coming 😂”
“They have such great varieties for chicken. I tried the butter chicken and it comes with complimentary rice, a great portion that you can share with someone else 10/10 next time i'll try the lamb.”
