But first the positive; the lamb saag was excellent; savory with tender chunks of lamb. This was a takeout for me so I have to consider that element. However, the chicken tikki masala had chicken chunks that were so hard that the dish was almost inedible. I'm guessing that the chicken had been sitting all day and morphed into the rock hard nuggets. This one should never have left the kitchen. We also had the shrimp masala. The masala sauce was quite good but if you planned on this dish for your dinner welcome to the hunger games! Almost no shrimp were evident in this container of sauce. Inexcusable to send something like this out. I'm puzzled. The restaurant itself is charming and welcoming but the kitchen is in need of a makeover.

We always get their Samosa Chaat, Gobi Manchurian, and Keema Samosa to start. If you enjoy some spice, the Samosa Chaat is the way to go. Its flavorful, spicy, and creamy.

Star of the show would have to be the fish basant, super crispy and with a little bit of heat. The vindaloo pork belly tonkatsu was so well cooked and crispy on the outside but light on the inside. Make sure to order garlic naan on the side, we wish we ordered a second portion to take home that's how good it was. Definitely check them out, it's being added to the rotation for us.

I have been ordering from this place for a long time. When I had just moved to Chicago, this was…read moreone of the first Indian restaurants I tried. I really like their masala dosa and idli. Their sambhar is actually very good and not too watery like at some other restaurants. I also enjoy their gobi manchurian and lentils with rice. The orders are usually pretty quick on Uber Eats. The food is simple and feels like comfort food. One nice thing is that if your order has a few items, they sometimes include a free tikka pasta.

I tried the karam kick dosa, masala dosa, veg biryani, bhindi masala, kadai paneer, naan and roti. The vegetables and paneer came with sides of rice, and the biryani came with a side of raita. I liked both the dosas, but would not recommend getting them delivered because they became quite soggy. This isn't the restaurant's fault, because that does tend to happen to dosa when it's no longer piping hot. I considered putting the dosas on the stove for a few minutes or reheating them in the air fryer, but didn't end up doing it - if you do get the dosa delivered, perhaps you can try doing that to recreate the crispiness/freshness. Overall, highly recommend this place for delivery! Will definitely order again.

She got the Taco Trio app which had three pieces of tacos filled with curried lamb, kerala Barbacoa and vindaloo chicken, all topped with cilantro and onions. A great dish for trying different kinds of their curry. The taco shell was not fried so it would not be too greasy. I got the Lamb Shank Vindaloo entree. The shank was medium sized, served over a rich, slightly spicy curry. My server told me the dish was already very spicy so I asked for mild. It turned out to be much less spicy than I expected so it was deserve trying even if you do not eat much spicy food. It was served with basmati rice. We also shared the Ghee Roasted Cauliflower. It was a whole cauliflower par-boiled then roasted. Topped with cheese and served with yogurt and mint chutney. The cauliflower had a distinct taste from cumin and turmeric, while the yogurt+chutney gave it some freshness and heat. Overall very interesting. However, the cauliflower could be boiled for less time so it could maintain some crispness.
