But here's the moment that sealed it: we'd had a long morning and asked, somewhat sheepishly, if they could make us chai, which isn't even on the menu. Without missing a beat, they made it. Hot, proper chai, just because we needed it. That's not service. That's hospitality. He made a full, buzzing restaurant feel intimate and that's rare. Essence of Kesar is the kind of place Englewood should be very proud of. Go. Ask for Pawan.

They have some tables outside when it's nice out. They originally asked us to wait as no tables were available but then sat us at the table that was open. There seemed to be confusion but we were glad to be seated quickly as we didn't have reservations. For appetizers we got the spicy spinach and kale chaat which was crunchy, spicy, and flavorful. Also, ordered the tandoori chicken momo which were decent but would have liked them a little more spicy. For entree, I ordered the old Delhi butter chicken with bullet naan. I would say at first I thought it was just okay and that could be from the flavors in my mouth from the appetizer because when I had left over the next day I enjoyed it alot more. My friend ordered the lobster moilee for which the curry part was delicious, flavorful and spicy. Wish they had that coastal Indian curry with chicken. For dessert we got Chandni Chowk Ki Rabadi Jalebi as this was recommended from waitress but I would skip it unless your jalebi lover which I am not. It really sweet and milk reduces that a little bit of it but also milk aspect is confusing as traditionally we don't have that with milk. For a drink, I got mango lassi which was mediocre. My friend got some limeade drink which was sour as expected. This place I believe is byob.

I love any place that serves free bread, and the sliced garlic-honey pita bread they set down as…read moresoon as we sat down was one of the nicest and most delicious welcomes I've received from a restaurant. The menu is tantalizing and there's plenty of familiar favorites along with a few new-to-me items that the server readily described when I asked questions. This time, I tried the pargiot sandwich. I had no previous conception of 'pargiot' but another reviewer had sung praises about this wonderfully marinated chicken thigh meat. Having tried it, I'm not convinced it's blow-your-mind good, but it was decently flavorful and tender. You can customize the salad type that goes in your sandwich, and I chose the Israeli salad, a blend of tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Mine felt a touch overstuffed since it was harder to taste the chicken and made my pita soggy quicker than I would have thought, but it's hard for me to ding points for generous servings. Our server checked in on us regularly and even thought to inquire about any sesame allergies before setting down the tahini dip that comes with the welcome platter of bread. As the restaurant got full and our visit came up against a reservation, I appreciated how respectfully he asked for the table. Speaking of reservations, it might be a good idea to make one for your visit, especially if you're thinking of coming for dinner. My friend and I came on a random Tuesday afternoon and this space completely filled up. There are also some outside tables available for possible spillover seating, but if your heart is set on coming here, call ahead. Parking in Englewood is always tough, especially come mealtimes because there are so many restaurants here. Make sure you come laden with quarters for the older parking meters or have the ParkMobile app ready for the spots that allow mobile payment.

I ordered a Chicken teriyaki lunch box (bento) - (Entree, $14.50, 4/5) - I was happy with the heft of the bag and upon opening it, food was hot and fresh. California rolls were good and 2 pieces of shumai were crispy and nicely seasoned. Rice was the right portion and chicken was fresh-tasting with good quantity of teriyaki veggies. Some pieces were a bit tough and the seasoning overall did not really permeate, but I didn't mind. I mean, it's lunch special so you can't really expect too much. I was nicely satisfied with this bento - not too much, not too little, and at a great price. I used to do yoga right next door for years and had never gone in, but now I would like to dine in because they had that nice, cozy and authentic Japanese sushi house vibe that was so inviting + of course, good tasting food at reasonable price. I'll be back!

4.5 stars Zula Grill…read morehad been on my list for a while, and it had apparently been on my brother's as well. So, when he recently suggested driving a good deal out of the way in order to sample their food for a takeout dinner, I still agreed. As he drove, I called to place our order for a large family gathering, and the woman on the phone did not miss a beat. She captured all of our requested items and customizations, ensuring that our meal arrived as expected. I should note that Zula required pre-payment for large orders to make sure that the food was collected. Agreeing to the lengthy excursion was not without its challenges, namely having to drive back with the heavenly food smells tantalizing us throughout the entire journey. When we arrived back at the house, other folks were still chatting, but I tore into the bag and tried to hand out the meals as quickly as I could in order to then indulge myself. My Chicken Breast Platter included the choice of two side dishes, one pita, and a small cup of tahini. In terms of the poultry, the two breasts were on the smaller size, but were lean, thinly-sliced, well-grilled, and flavorful. For the first side dish, I had the Israeli Salad, which was fresh, bright, and, thankfully, not too oniony. Secondly, the Moroccan carrots were a bit oily, but offered a nice heat and spice level. The fluffy pita was soft, gooey, and melt in your mouth tasty. In terms of the tahini, I opted for the standard variety, rather than the tahini amba with pickled mango. The traditional version was rich, thick, and acted as a great topping for the chicken and the pita. Lastly, I shared some of the large quart of Hummus, which was creamy, well-seasoned, and simply delicious. In fact, someone at the table thought it might have even been the best they had ever had, and I agree that it was certainly close! Everyone adored their menu items from Zula Grill, and we all agreed that we would definitely order from there again.

Rated 5/5 This was…read moremy first time ordering delivery from this place. -I ordered a Bakhtiari (chicken and beef) for my husband and a Fesenjan. Meats were tasty and soft. Amazing flavor!!! -I chose the Fesenjan because it contains ingredients like pomegranate and walnuts--it sounded really interesting. The order comes with Basmati rice. The star of the dish is a chicken leg--apparently slow-cooked for hours--which was truly delicious; the flavor wasn't spicy or overly spiced, but a balance of sweet and savory--leaning more towards sweet--and it was aromatic and tender. Overall, it was delicious; the rice was simple but incredibly tasty. The dishes are priced a bit higher than usual--arguably a little expensive--but it's worth it because you can see the fresh, high-quality ingredients. The cousin and flavor are excellent, and as I mentioned before, the portions are generous. Kudos to the entire team behind this restaurant; keep up the excellent work. I will certainly be ordering again or visiting in person soon.
