We were in downtown and stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant! We saw the reviews were high, so we…read morehad to give it a chance. The second you want in, you're immediately greeted and given the option to sit at a traditional Indian seat, booth, or table. I love how authentic the ambiance looked right off the bat, and you can tell it was well kept. We got the Maharaj Mix Grill for 2, and it was a ton of food for two people. The butter chicken and naan paired so well together, and it tasted even better with the rice. Additionally, the grilled meats were cooked to perfection and seasoned so well! I loved how flavorful the chicken and lamb were that I couldn't stop eating it. There was so much food that we had to take the rest to-go. The service was not bad. They made sure to fill our waters when they got empty and brought out the food very quick. The only con was that the waitress seemed very monotone and didn't really seem interested in serving us. Not a big deal though! Definitely try out this gem in downtown Chicago. You won't leave hungry!

You walk in and are greeted with the fabulous aroma of Indian cooking. This is welcome as I am…read morealways reluctant to eat food at an Indian restaurant that smells' like it could be serving me a turkey sandwich. The A/C was delightful and were were seated right away. It got really busy by the time we left. I think it may be the best palak paneer I have ever had. I judge Indian food based on saag or palak paneer and this was a winner. We also enjoyed a tray of grilled meats. They were all really good but the chicken was a bit dry. The dahl was spot on. I am not a fan of basmati rice. THIS basmati rice was so so good. It was longish and kinky and didn't have a heavy flavor. The onion kulcha was a bit busy with lentils? in the middle. It was good but I prefer just onions. Both the naan and kulcha were baked perfectly. Warning: portions are huge!! This is great if you live there as it could have been our next three meals with leftovers. Made for a nice breakfast the next day in our hotel tho! If we lived in Chicago- this would be our regular place.

Interestingly, the waitress wanted us about the "spice" level and then everything came down all watered down. The curry tasted more like a mellow Thai peanut curry and I have no idea what they did to the lamb sauce because it was just a flavorful, spiceless sauce. I am so disappointed that we paid to have our food come out modified because someone in the restaurant decided we couldn't handle the heat when we explicitly said we wanted it spicy. Oh, and when I told the waitress none of the food was spicy she just laughed...

Disclaimer, I'm an East Asian and I didn't grow up eating Indian or Nepali food so take my comments with a grain of salt. Lamb curry My friend and I enjoyed it. I bit into some star anise in the dish, and I wished they gave the star anise more time to incorporate into the curry (sauteing longer and toasting it before), as the star anise flavor wasn't really there. I had to bite into the star anise with the sauce to learn about the flavor profile. Eggplant curry I wasn't a big fan of the dish, as it felt a little astringent and bitter at times. I wasn't sure what it was going for, and I wished it utilized more of that umami flavor from the eggplant to elevate the curry. The curry felt a little overpowering. Fish curry As a seafood lover, this was one of the most special curries I have had. The fish was delicate and soft, which was paired well with the sauce. I would get this again. Chicken Biryani We increased the spice for this dish. The portions were huge and we liked it as a base to the other curries and something to eat with the naan. It was not bad. Mutton Momo (Soup) As a mutton/lamb lover, the momos were flavorful and hearty. They were paired with a spicy tomato soup, which felt different but familiar. We loved it. Mutton Momo (Chillied) The momo was sauted and fried at the bottom. It was paired with some bell peppers. This is the kind of dish where you wouldn't be able to stop eating. Loved it. Garlic Naan Hot, thin, crispy. Even though we wished the garlic was more pungent, the texture was great. Gulab Jamun (Fried Ball Dessert) It was our favorite. The syrup was gingery and had a subtle hint of saffron, and it blended well with the fried balls. This hit home. Overall, the food was decent. We will definitely be back for the momo and to try the different curries and biryani.

The menu online looked promising, but when ordering through their website or UberEats, the options were pretty limited. I went with the goat biryani. It arrived really fast to my hotel and I dug right in. Opening it up, the container was packed to the max so definitely not stingy with portions. I loved that it had potatoes and a ton of meat. Taste wise, I'd say it wasn't the best Bangladeshi goat biryani I've had, but it wasn't bad either. It was okay. Obviously it doesn't compare to the motherland or New York or other big metro areas, but I'm still happy there's at least one Bangladeshi spot in Chicago. I just hope they add more items to the delivery menu at some point.

The Bhoomi Burger far exceeded all expectations! Believe it or not, the only thing this nitpicker…read morecan find fault with is that the burger was a little messy to eat - but that's to be expected. More on that later. I find most fast-casual burger places make something decent, and some make hockey pucks. Meanwhile, this one is leaps and bounds above the rest. The lamb patty on its own was not only soft and well-seasoned, but also brimming with flavor. Then I took a bite of the whole thing and temporarily bounced up to food heaven. The herbaceous, savory, and earthy notes of their chimmichutney took the burger to another level. The veggies added some additional freshness, with the avocado and mayo contributing even more savory notes. Big bonus points for a fresh bun, too! On messiness: The container was small enough that I could barely slide my hands in to grab the burger. This, combined with the somewhat slippery chimmichutney, meant that keeping the burger together was a difficult and losing battle. No worries - less chimmichutney would mean less flavor, and I have no issues eating anything (burgers included) with a fork. Simply, I'd hope Bhoomi Modern Indian Grill considers larger containers for these... otherwise, don't upset the balance! Finally, credit to the service for being kind, friendly, and giving me something hot and fresh after about five minutes! Thus, Bhoomi Burger quickly earned a spot on my favorites. The whole experience was all-around fantastic, and I can't wait to bring all my friends here.

They were so anxious to make sure that our food experience was excellent. When you sit down they offer you complimentary Papa Dom with mint chutney and tamarind sauce. I was going to get an appetizer but I couldn't even finish my entree so I'm glad I didn't but I could come here every week for the rest of the year and still not make my way through the entire menu!!! Per the recommendation of our server Saahiti, we ordered Goan fish curry and Mahi-Mahi tikka masala. I eat a lot of Indian but had never ordered the coconut-based Goan fish. I'll be looking up recipes when I get home to see if I can't make it myself. I can't believe I left my phone at the hotel and did not take pictures. Beautifully decorated on top of the amazing food, we cannot wait to come back!!!

We added the garlic naan and rice to our plate. The chicken tikka masala was very delicious. You can taste all the different spices in the dish. I love garlic and the garlic naan did not disappoint. It has such a great garlic taste and it was perfect for dipping in here masala sauce. The butter chicken was so buttery. It tasted very similarly to the chicken tikka masala though. Not pictured was our mango lassi. My boyfriend ordered it for us and in was pleasantly surprised. It's like a mango yogurt drink. It has a velvety texture and it was very flavorful. I would definitely get it again. Ultimately, I'd love to come back and try other items in the menu.
