“Got the railway, one of the best sandwiches i’ve ever had in my LIFE. Their chai was also perfect. If I could rate this higher, I would.”

“Very different and delicious sandwiches. I loved the different spices. Very fun. I'll be back.”
“Everything is perfect about this store and food! Obviously the sandwiches are the way one would expect! Flavorful. Each one with its own distinguishing flavor. Second, the packaging feels so premium and finally I never had to wait. I order online and walk from campus to the store and it is already ready for pickup. Love it! Highly recommended :))”
“Always absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this neighborhood gem!”
“Wow the food from here is terrific. Huge flavors! Got the railway omelette which I would get 10 times again. The chips and slaw that came with it also delish. Also got the masala chai tea which if it were possible, I would like to have running from a faucet in my house. 10/10 recommend.”
“The best sandwiches!! Love all the vegetarian options. We’ve done the h/eat from home too and loved it!”
“One of the best sandwich places in Evanston and the only Indian fusion I have found in the area.”
“I've had the sandwiches a few times and they were all really good, but we recently gave the "Heat at Home" dinners a try and they were excellent! Looking forward to trying something new next time since it looks like the menu changes every week. But be aware you need to order a couple days ahead, so check their website. One thing I wish is that you could specify your desired spice level - or maybe you can in the "special instructions" but I didn't think to do that. It was pretty mild so we just added some chili pepper at home and it was great.”
“I'm here about twice a month. Bombay sandwich with a rice crispy treat is my go to. really good and consistent.”
