    Adda has always been one of the better Indian restaurants in town when it comes to food quality -- the flavors are rich, authentic, and worth trying. But honestly, the service has become unbearable. The staff are consistently rude and inattentive, and it feels like they simply don't care about the customer experience. No matter how good the food is, the horrible service ruins the entire visit. I kept giving them another chance, but I'm completely fed up now. It's disappointing because I would genuinely prefer to go here for the food, but the lack of basic courtesy and service makes it impossible to recommend. Hopefully management takes service seriously, because until then, I won't be going back. Ambiance Ok.

    Throughly enjoyed dinner at Adda! Great spot in the city that you don't need a reservation for that has great food. Highly recommend the vegetable samosas as an appetizer. The butter chicken and chicken tiki masala were both delicious but didn't come with all that much chicken, so not great to share.

    The ambiance inside was really nice. We got sat at the top and it also smelled nice inside too. The service was quick and the food was delicious. We got the fried fish which had so much flavors that paired well with the chutney. We also got their fish coconut curry which was so good, the coconut gave a little creamy taste to it and paired well with the garlic naan. We got their noodles and rice schechaun friend rice, which was good but was expecting it to be noodles and rice mixed together. Everything was good.

    Came back and everything was SO GOOD and better than I last remembered. The indochinese menu is immaculate, chili paneer and triple fried rice and Gobi Manchurian are SO SO SO GOOD! I can't get over how clever the idea of having a little bit of Gobi Manchurian with the triple fried rice was. I will come back here over and over again. Indian food was great too, paneer was delicious and garlic naan was perfect. Service was also very quick! My request: PLEASE bring back ur lotus appetizer. I never got to try it and chili lotus is my absolute favorite I will buy your entire supply if you add it to your menu again!

    Triple fried rice chicken and angarey tandoori chicken
    Aswad K.

    We ordered triple fried rice- this is very unique dish from indo-chinese fusion. Recommend it for people that have not yet explored this fusion. We ordered this through doordash- Appreciate that the manchurian was given separately from rice, noodle combo. They know what they are doing thankfully. Manchurian good amount of chicken manchurian balls. Schezwan chutney was amazing, just perfect garlicky, spicy!!! Tandoori chicken was well flavored, well bbqed. Highly encourage the business to avoid food coloring in this, your chicken is well seasoned, flavored, definitely goes some sort of tandoor. You really dont need color, usually businesses that are faking the tandoori chicken procedure need color, I promise you dont need it.

    Chicken Schezwan Rice Goat Biryani

    Adda Indian Cuisine is an Indian spot that also serves some Indian Chinese food in the Little Italy area. Good Indo Chinese is still rare in Chicago so I wanted to give this place a shot. I got the chicken schezwan rice and goat biryani. Unfortunately the chicken Schezwan rice was mid. The rice is mostly red coloring with the flavor of tandoori chicken and some sautéed onions. Not bad by any means but not great and left some to be desired. The hunt for great, finger licking type of indo chinese food in the city continues. The goat biryani was a lot better! This is definitely a restaurant that you might go to for Indian food and you're less likely to go wrong. The rice was well balanced and generously flavored with whole spices and not dry with good meat pieces. I did like that they also included a boiled egg which is more traditional. Also not too spicy. The only con is that the box wasn't fully packed but a great option nevertheless. Overall a good spot for indian takeout and delivery - can't speak to dining inside.

    Schezwan Babycorn
    Penny B.

    Placed in Little Italy, this restaurant is in a really great location. The restaurant is nice inside. Service was pleasant. Food came out quick after ordering. In appetizers, we had the veg manchurian and the schezwan babycorn. Of the two, we all enjoyed the manchurian more. It is nearly identical to what you'd find in actual street food shops of India. The corn was also good and crunchy coating. For the mains, we had butter chicken and paneer makhni with garlic naan. Both dishes were really really good. We got them in medium spice but a little more spice would be better. Next time, I will be ordering the dishes spicy. Their garlic naan is really good. Taking a star off for a couple reasons. The main dishes had some food coloring which stained our fingers. That was an unnecessary addition to already delicious dishes. And, the tea was served warm not hot. I will 100% be visiting again and trying new dishes! I recommend anyone to go here to try some delish Indian.

    Amritsari Chicken Tikka
    Abhishek M.

    I came here on my birthday with my mom who is visiting and we both enjoyed a quiet evening celebrating my birthday and I couldn't have asked for more since it was a week day. We ordered the Amritsari chicken tikka which had a little kick to it and came sizzling on a platter. Chicken was marinated nicely and had depth of flavor. It was smoky on the palette and juicy on the bite. We then got the nargissi saloon with Tandoori roti and it was a hit. It came 2 big pieces of potato stuffed with paneer in a cashew gravy. It went really well with the roti. Prices are quite reasonable and service very good.

    Chicken 65
    Karan V.

    After ages I got to have a good Indian food around Chicago. These days the insta friendly places have no flavor and only good pictures when it comes to Indian cuisine. I am happy with the fact that they are good overall. We were 6 of us and 2 kids. A good big group calls for a big space. With the 2 kids high chair the space didn't feel like running with the other tables. Good ambience and warm light and decor was definitely good to be at. With food We ordered Chicken 65 -5/5 Chicken chetinad - i have had better, would still give 4/5 Kashmiri naan - 5/5 Hakka noodles 10/5 Triple rice -5/5 And few others. Service wise they were friendly and welcoming, not quick enough. I would expect them to tell us the that this is last order or what not. Or accommodate our req. Overall positive! Will visit agai

    Roti
    Tracy W.

    Came here for lunch a random Wednesday. Was pretty empty. Prompt service and welcoming when we got there. It's a really nice ambiance. Glassware and white table cloths. We got the Roti, the chicken tiki Marsala, and the lamb curry ghoti with sides of rice. I had black tea and my friend had a mango drink. Very tasty food! Great portions. The service was nice.

    Great ambiance, good value for the money, not afraid to use spice for those who like it hot and diverse adult cocktail options. What's interesting is, before entering, we questioned if it was any good because no one was dining in and there was a large sheet of paper taped to the window that said hiring for all positions. The restaurant is beautiful and offers a fair amount of vegetarian, poultry and seafood items. The quality of several staples was lacking and when we received an incorrect entree, our server didn't acknowledge it or apologize. To add to this, we were told that they were waiting on us to leave so they could close while two other tables that arrived after us continued to dine. Kerala Fish Curry Great flavor. Hands down the star of the evening. Butter Chicken I've had dozens over the years and it was my least favorite, The flavorful and texture were underwhelming. I wouldn't recommend it. Chicken Tikka Masala Flavorful but the chicken wasn't very tender. Garlic Naan Can hold it's own and is reasonably priced at $3.99

    Boneless Chicken Biryani
    Jennifer W.

    One of the things I love about traveling is trying new restaurants. I was so excited to try this Indian restaurant just a block or so away from the Medical District in Chicago. It did not disappoint. My friend and I ordered Paneer, Biryani, Tikka Masala, and Garlic Naan. Yes, it was a lot of food, but it made great leftovers the next day! I will absolutely get food from here again. I only have two small gripes. We asked to sit by a window as there were many empty window tables but were told they were all for 4 people. The entire time we were there, there were window tables still available. Additionally, when it came time to pay, we had trouble flagging down anyone to take our payment. Guess they were busy.

For lunch especially, the quality and portion sizes are amazing for the price. The service was extremely friendly and welcoming. It truly feels like a family-owned restaurant, and the staff consistently checked in on our table to make sure we were enjoying everything. We ordered a variety of dishes. My favorite by far was the chicken tikka masala - rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. The tandoori chicken, however, was just average to me; it was a bit overcooked and lacked flavor. I also really enjoyed the Josh Rogan and the mango lassi, both of which were great. The ambiance is nice and comfortable, but the wait can be quite long, so keep that in mind. Despite the wait, this has become my go-to spot when I'm craving Indian food. Great value, warm service, and mostly excellent food make it worth returning.

    Food is below-average, service is good, and the ambience is bland and unappetizing…read more I am beyond surprised that this restaurant receives such great reviews when there is better Indian food in the city. To start with, my dining companion and I ordered the gobi manchurian, which was delicious. As a native Bangalorean, I take my gobi manchurian seriously, and was quite impressed with Maharaj's iteration (since then, I think they may have removed the Gobi Manchurian from the menu: it was great while it lasted!). My companion and I assumed that the stellar gobi would herald an even more incredible main course, but were quickly proven wrong. The malai kofta was insipid and texturally confusing. The gravy was tasteless and the kofta balls were simultaneously both chewy and crumbly. Listen: I love malai kofta, because as the name suggests, cream is the central ingredient. It is sometimes possible to paper over deficiencies in a malai kofta with extra cream, but alas, that was not the case here. It was close to inedible. The naan tasted like grocery store frozen naan: even Trader Joe's makes better naan. The bhindi masala was oily and not too flavourful. We did not dare order more at that point. On the plus side, our server, whose first day on the job it was, was super sweet. He made sure we were well-looked after, and gave us complimentary masala chai. The chai was lukewarm and overly milky, with little fresh masala. The decor consists of stereotypically Indian art of dubious quality. The seats were comfortable, and the restaurant was filled with South Asian people, which usually bodes well for an Indian restaurant. I continue to be baffled by that. It's entirely possible that it was just a bad day for the chef, but I don't think I want to risk another visit. Overall, as much as I want to support Indian restaurants in the city, I cannot in good faith recommend Maharaj.

Upon arrival, we were also served tandoori chicken and garlic naan at the table, which was a nice touch and something I didn't expect from a buffet. That said, the buffet items themselves felt like they had been sitting out for a while. The food wasn't piping hot -- more on the lukewarm side -- which definitely impacts the overall experience, especially with dishes that are best enjoyed fresh and warm. I would have loved to see butter chicken included, along with a bit more variety in the rice options and soups. A little more range would elevate the brunch experience. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but I think temperature and selection are key when it comes to a buffet. I'd consider coming back, but likely for a regular dinner service instead of brunch.
