The atmosphere strikes a great balance, and is fitting for both a casual dinner and a night out. What really stood out was the service. The staff was attentive and genuinely kind. They pulled off something that's much harder than it sounds, seating a party of 11 together on a Friday night without missing a beat. That kind of flexibility and hospitality is rare and appreciated. If you're in the Champaign area and looking for really great Indian cuisine, Naya is an easy recommendation.

Goodness gracious!…read more The pav bhaji may be a perfect lunch. The buttery, slightly sweet rolls precisely complement the complex, slightly sour flavor of the vegetable mix. The chai is not shy. Cardamom, ginger, and milk are bold in the tea. It costs 50 cents but it is worth every penny. And when you want to treat yourself, the lachha rabri will be waiting.

Very tasty if dipped with some carbs (rice/naan/bread)! But the flavor may be a little too strong if just eating the vegetable balls. The order was packaged very carefully, and I believe they have a high level of food sanitation and safety in their kitchen, as you can tell from the food quality and inside environment. By the way, it is located inside the Indian grocery store, so the entrance might be a little confusing. The staff were very friendly during my visit. Will come again to try other items!

Mirsung is given representation mostly as a grocery store (at least according to its listing on…read moreYelp), but several months ago, it annexed a modest, "fast food" cafe next door to the grocery. Frankly, the purpose of my visits have been to pick up prepared lunches, not groceries, so I can't really comment on the latter. Like other Indian restaurants in town (except for the Bombay Grill on First Street), this place is mostly a greasy lunch counter for college kids. There are a few tables for anyone who wants to eat there, and while the space is brightly-lit by large shopfront windows, the decorations are sparse and uninspiring. However, don't be deterred by general criticisms on the restaurant's interior. Mirsung probably has the best deal on Indian food in Champaign. When you walk up to the front counter, you'll see a food-laden hot bar, along with a white-board listing the daily menu and prices. If you're not familiar with Indian food, this might be a good way to try it out, as you can just pick out dishes that are visually appealing to you. Each day, Mirsung serves 2 vegetarian entrees, 2 meat entrees, a special rice dish, soup, appetizers (including samosas), and DOSAS! The combination meals are around $7 to $9 (depending on whether you order meat or vegetable entrees), which is quite reasonable as your take-out containers will be bulking with food when you leave. Most of the food you receive will be rice, a contentious point for most diners (who prefer more meat for their money), but given the spiciness and richness of many Indian dishes, I usually like having more rice. If this is indeed an issue for you, I would recommend ordering the daily special rice instead of plain basmati rice, which costs $1 more per combo plate, but can easily serve as a meal by itself. I've had good experiences with the special rice dishes, including the lemon rice, tamarind rice, and chicken biryani. These rice dishes are flavored generously with spices, mustard seeds, and fresh curry leaves. I like the sauces on most of the entrees, including the chicken tikka masala, chicken vindaloo, and okra masala. The only real complaint I have regarding food is that the paneer has been a bit tough when I've had it in the past. Mirsung is located a pleasant distance from the busiest part of Green Street, which means: (1) free parking is available, and (2) you won't feel that you're trapped in some hellish war between pedestrians and traffic. Students shouldn't be discouraged from stopping by, though, as it is still an easy walk from the campus neighborhoods on First Street.
