They don't miss when they swing. You know it and so do I. Hand up accountability - I ordered food for a party of one this evening. Without a doubt my DoorDash driver thought there was a family of four on the other end. We all know that's why we have them leave the order outside. No rational person wants to feel the searing gaze of judgment. Since we're being honest I think more people should know that you can DoorDash an ice cream cake from DQ. Do with that what you will. And listen when the food is this good it's not your fault if you can't decide what to get any just get one of everything. Every now and again the kitchen does get a little loosey goosey with the spice level and we just have to accept that. Every one of us knows the game we're playing when we order Indian Food.

Not knowing each places heat levels and not being a wimp, theirs was a bit hotter than what I would have called a medium, but not awful. Flavor was good. Chili naan was hot and fresh. Would have liked more garlic and more chili, but the texture was spot on. Daughter's butter chicken was supposed to be mild, but the chef was a bit more liberal with the heat as well. More like a medium. Overall, will order again and adjust our heat levels according to how we're feeling.

The soup and bread in particular? Total show-stealers. Uniquely delicious, and deeply satisfying. Applause-worthy. But then... the intermission. Despite pre-ordering, our meal arrived a full 30 minutes late. A delay so predictable, it might as well be part of the script. From what I've heard, this isn't a one-time twist--it's a recurring subplot. And the response from management? Less "We're so sorry" and more "This is just how the story goes." Here's the plot twist: I'd still come back. The food is that good. But sadly, the rest of my family won't be returning for an encore. Five stars for flavor, minus two for timing and tone. This place could be a blockbuster--but someone needs to fix the third act.

Seriously, this place can help. Try their Rasam soup, a little spicy-for some, but full of so much flavor!!! Didn't expect much from the veg noodles but again, packed full of flavor! Lastly I chose masala dosa which came with two different sauces of choice. All of it was superb and didn't break the bank. Trying more of their food next time.

Masala is also very good as is the buffet next to Englert Theatre; but when it was snowing and I wanted somewhere quick on the west side, I saw they had their own website so I placed a to go order. The butter chicken was very good. The sauce was authentic, although the consistency was a little watery. The rice it came with was very fresh. The standout was the chicken Mommo appetizer, which looks like an Japanese/Asian dumpling, but it's traditional to North Indian and Nepalese cuisine. Overall the portion of chicken with rice, the dumpling and an order or roti was $30. Could have been cheaper but fed 3 people even though it's an American portion of 1. The roti was not good. I'd try the naan next time. Hence the 4 stars and the butter chicken sauce was too watery like a soup.

Exotic India is a gem living in Coralville…read more Open daily for both lunch and dinner Exotic India offers up all the classics for dine in, carry out or delivery (via the Yelp app)! I ordered delivery one Thursday evening and got the chicken tikka masala (spicy) and butter chicken (medium spicy) as well as a duo of vegetarian samosas and some naan. Food came on time and freshly made, it was piping hot! The spice level was appropriate on the two main entrees I ordered-- though I may go spicer on the butter chicken next time. I was delighted by the samosas. Divine. Compared to other Indian must-haves in the area, I think the pricing is a bit steep for the amount of food you get. Exotic India is mouth wateringly good! I can't wait to try more on their menu.
