“10/10. Easily the best quality and taste in the area! I’ve had both the Butter Chicken Burger and the Chicken Malai burger and the taste was phenomenal! The fries were crispy and soft with the perfect amount of seasoning on top! And lastly they are launching wings and gave me a sample and all I can say is this place is going to be full of people in the coming weeks. Try the food it is 5x better than anything on Devon and the owner takes pride in what he puts out! Food was perfect, service was somehow better!”
“We have reached the around 10:30pm and the store closes at 11:00pm, but the person over there took us in with a warm smile and we were there till 12:00 am he cooed for all of us, we are 10 members by the way. Great restaurant, good food. Can't wait to try again.”
“Their fusion burgers are SO GOOOD. The food has rewinded all my burger memories back in India. Amazing taste.”
“It was my first time visiting this place, and I tried their XOtikka Chicken Burger. Let me tell you, it’s one of the best Indian fusion burgers I’ve had in the city. The bun was soft, the chicken portion was perfect, and it came with fresh greens and cheese. Every ingredient complemented each other without overpowering the flavors, and it had just the right amount of spice kick. Highly recommended!”
“Edit: This review was for Mahi's Kitchen. Looks like it's changed to a different restaurant now. This place is amazing! The entire menu is vegan and it's so delicious! The owner is very friendly and my belly is full of joy (and food). The prices are really excellent, too.”
“The schezwan chicken sandwich was FIRE 🔥🔥 spicy, juicy, and loaded with flavor. Perfect crunch with that bold schezwan kick. Highly recommend”
“OMG the butter chicken pasta 🤤 SO creamy, so flavorful, and perfectly spiced. 10/10 would order again. Loved every bite 😍”
“We were to Chicago and wanted to eat something light, so we Googled and found this place. I’m not here to talk about the ambience, but the uncle working there was so warm and welcoming—it felt like he was my own uncle from India! He’s incredibly sweet. The food was obviously amazing, especially the Gujarati dishes. The best part? He’s so friendly that he even lets you cook with him! So if you’re not feeling great and just want to feel at home, go there—you’ll leave with a full stomach and a warm heart.”
“Extremely kind guy. I only speak English, but he took his time with me and didn’t rush me! Someone reviewed everything is vegan, no it’s vegetarian!!!! The older guy accommodated me and made my stuff with oil instead of butter with dairy milk! I got the noodles and the chickpea sandwich. Sorry I forgot the name. Will try the samosas next! It was amazing I asked him to make it spicy and he did!!! Look at my other reviews if you’re skeptical. I’ve had Indian food before, but not this type. It’s usually the chicken masala/curry type. Fills you up nice and doesn’t make you tired! 10/10!!!!!”
