What Diners Are Saying
Diners loved
always amazing food and service!
great spot. love the concept. food was good and well made.
Chana masala sandwich is delicious!
After trying the paneer sandwich at the Umbrella Arts Festival (and loving it!), I knew I had to try the Railway Omelette.
Some noted
Very cool food concept; Slaw was tablespoon sized and super bitter, almost plain cabbage; was hard to find Paneer Tikka flavor under all the salt; cheese was split like egg; little filling so the top and bottom sandwich bread touch all the way around; interior looks unfinished; sandwich took 20 minutes with no orders ahead of mine.

After trying the paneer sandwich at the Umbrella Arts Festival (and loving it!), I knew I had to try the Railway Omelette. I was not disappointed! The flavors blend wonderfully, not spicy, just flavorful. I ate half and handed the other half to my husband as I was heading out the door. He called me halfway through the sandwich to tell me how much he loved it. I look forward to trying all the sandwiches at Inspired Indian!

The Bombay sandwich took me back to my childhood trips to India and the chai sugar cookie was the right balance of flavor and sweetness. I look forward to going again!

Kalpana was a delight and let me tell you something serious the Channa choice was the best thing ever. It should be globally recognized

“The sandwiches are amazing.”
The sandwiches are amazing! I have really enjoyed everything I have tried, and it is clear the sandwiches are crafted with care. I usually order in advance online for a later pickup time and the food is always ready when I get there. So excited to have Inspired Indian within walking distance from Northwestern's campus!

I stopped by to check out the place on Thursday but wasn't aware of the closing hours so I happened to arrive right when they were closing up. However, the worker overheard that I wanted to get some masala chai so she invited my friends and I inside and took in the order request for Masala Chai (which was amazing btw). I can't believe that now I have option for authentic masala chai in Evanston :') Thank you for the kindness! I can't wait to come back to try to the sandwiches. P.S: It would be great if you added option of adrak (ginger) masala chai for winter times.
