“I really enjoyed the food here, service was great, and they were really accommodating to me as a vegan diner! Would recommend!”

“Lovely food, good service , we had mysore masala dosa, It was so tasty and flavorful. Gajar halwa is a must try!”

“We had the dosa, and it was honestly one of the best dosas we’ve had in Chicago—perfectly crispy, flavorful, and served with delicious chutneys and sambar. The food was fresh, the portions were generous, and everything was well served. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and very friendly, making the whole dining experience even better. Highly recommended!”

“Wow — Mild 2 Spicy knocked it out of the park! We ordered the Chicken Vindaloo and Lamb Vindaloo, and both were incredibly flavorful with that perfect tangy-spicy kick (we went mild-to-spicy heat and it was spot on). The tender meat, rich sauce, and aromatic spices were delicious. We paired them with Cheese Naan and Garlic Naan — both were fresh, soft, and addictive. Huge portions and everything came out hot. The food was absolutely delicious and hit all the right notes. Great service and cozy vibe too. This is easily one of the best Indian spots we’ve tried in Chicago. Will definitely be back soon!”

“We ordered a bunch of things to try and the food was all very delicious! The service was great and very fast. Overall, good ambiance and I appreciated all the suggested staff recommendations! 10/10 would come back again, we finished all of our food. Thank you!”

“Boyfriend and I were in search of a new Indian spot and came upon this gem! Great & authentic butter chicken. The garlic naan was delicious as well. Bonus points for the new cheese naan! Was sooo good”

“Food was amazing, we got the mysore masala dosa, chicken kadai, and paneer makhani. Bumi, our waitress, was also very kind and attentive”

“We got the tikka pasta and butter chicken dosa and they were both so good!! Service and atmosphere were both really good too! Highly recommend.”
“Great everything. Came for lunch and ordered way too much. Servers were very helpful and sweet. Veggie samosa was huge and so flavorful; garlic naan is perfect Madras chicken was the star to me I already can’t wait for the leftovers. Next time I want to try the cheese naan and their dosa. I”
