My dad and I have been to Bloom Bawarchi and the ambience was pretty nice but they were playing Indian music videos on their screens on full volume, and today my dad and I were eating and they started blasting music and turned on overstimulating disco lights that made it very hard for me and my dad to have a conversation.

Mozart playing in the background, quite unusual for an Indian restaurant and the food was excellent! Particularly the Chicken 65 and goat vindaloo. Also nice, was that film music wasn't blaring and the Bollywood, Tollywood and Kollywood videos that seem to be de rigueur these days at Indian places hadn't been fired up. The place wasn't crowded at 11:30 am on a Saturday either so definitely worth the schlep from Urbana-Champaign. I'll reluctantly take a star off when making a comparison to a couple of places on the East Coast else five stars for Central IL.

It was all old leftover food reheated - the quality of rice was the worst I've ever had - tandoori chicken was tasteless , all it was red color added to chicken without any Indian spices dropped into a grill - we also had lamb saag and potato tikki - I was shocked to see how bad it was - typically I love the leftovers, but not this time because more than 80 % went into the garbage!!!

Was craving good Indian in the Champaign area and heard good things about this place! We ordered…read morethe shrimp chili: good flavor, would recommend ordering rice with it ; Chicken tikka masala: has more of a tomato flavor rather than the spices. The chicken pieces were a bit dry and the dish itself was very small ; Chicken biryani: this was my favorite dish! So flavorful and the chicken pieces were very tender. The portions were also big; Garlic Naan: wasn't my favorite naan that I've tried, very flat and not fluffy Staff were kind and food came out at a reasonable time!
