I don’t usually leave reviews but this place was so great I had to. The food was SO GOOD!! I got lamb curry and it was delicious. The service was fast and the employees were very polite and apt to help. The music was beautiful and not too loud. This place was bussin, definitely will be back.

The tandoori chicken is terrific. The curries are an excellent. The mint chutney is very good. The samosas are well made, but even "mild" is very spicy. The naan is delicious. The raita is NOT GOOD. yuck. Way too runny and sour and no cucumber. I was EXTRA disappointed given they charge extra for it. The rice "pudding" is not pudding at all. It's a soupy, fermented liquid with a few grains of rice floating in it. Seriously, SO BAD.

They have the best Indian food in the area hands down. It is a little pricey but definitely work it!!! The staff is very kind and friendly also. When I lived in the area and my family and I ate here every week! Absolutely delicious! :

Decent food, little too expensive. Nice to try, but won’t come back often ?‍♂️. They need an Auntie or something in the kitchen.Is there an Indian church around here that does potlucks?

Expensive TV dinners. Food is not fresh, and most of it is tasteless. Ordered chicken 65, and it was dry and bland, very chewy. Samosas and Pakoras were ok. Butter chicken is a JOKE! Naan is very rubbery. Samosa chat is not worth it at all. Mango Lassi was very sour and tangy. Plus, they tend to mess up take out and delivery orders as well. Always something is missing. Seems like management doesn't care anymore. It used to be good back when it first opened up. I guess this place is suitable for people who don't know much about Indian food and can be fooled easily. You are better off getting frozen indian food from Trader Joe's!!!

Ordered Panera Chilli Dry, disappointed to say it was one of the worst paneer chilli dry I have had (didn't eat more than 2 bites). The paneer had the same consistency as an eraser, the sauce was thin and watery. I have ordered multiple times from this restaurant and the food has been good, but this order/dish was a waste of $. My recommendation is not to order paneer chilli dry from this place.

They deserve better than 4.1 stars!! This is the best Indian food in the Chicagoland area. Do yourself a favor and try one of their curries over rice.

Terrible veg biryani. Smiled burnt and had no flavor. The okra was old, stringy, and felt like eating bark. The seeds inside were like stones. Not worth 50 dollars.Vegetarian options: Had no flavor at all

Service was good, prices are a tad high for the portion size, and the food itself is very good. However, I’ve never gone to an Indian restaurant and ordered a dish (such as Tikka Masala) and not received rice with it. They expect you buy it, along with the $15 entree. Pretty upsetting to get home and realize all I was going to eat was some chicken in the masala sauce…

This has been our go-to place for Indian for years. It's fine, but the spice levels are very inconsistent. They offer five spice levels. I always order level 2, the next one above the mildest, and I never know what to expect. Tonight's eggplant is way too hot. Last week's chicken Tikka Masala had almost no heat. Unfortunately, I can't take the inconsistency anymore and am looking for a new go-to.
