Decent Tasty food. Take out dining. They can make it mild if you aren't used to spicy food.

THIS PLACE SMACKS legit dude is a must try wow the buffet makes me want to actively do a french kiss Like oof so good read more

Their catering service is terrible. I had to fight tooth and nail for months to reach Adarsh (the business owner). He kept telling me repeatedly over several months that he would send me a contract to review for my wedding catering - he never EVER sent it to me despite NUMEROUS attempts by me to reach him and by my event planner. it was truly unbelievable. I heard from my event planner that unfortunately he has done this to NUMEROUS customers before me and probably will continue to do this. I honestly have no idea how he gets away with treating customers like this. Despite spelling it out for him what we want catered to our wedding, he kept making mistakes and never sent us a final updated contract. Given we didn't have much time left, we could not change vendors last minute and had to stick with him. Terrible communication and organization skills. wedding planning is already a stressful time dealing with so many vendors but especially when you have to deal with unreliable vendors such as these, it makes things a LOT harder. unprofessional! read more

I like this place, because of their products you can't get anywhere else, especially goat meat, but the smell is concerning. It always smells like a zoo, and their vegetables are almost always in the browning stage. I cook the shit out of everything I buy, but I've never had any intestinal issues so far. It just makes me nervous. It's hard to find goat meat, but theirs is very very gamey. Their food handling practice just makes me nervous. They are always very nice though. read more

I've been going to ISU for four years and the fact that I found this restaurant my LAST year is so unfair!!! 10/10 recommend. I LOVED the butter naan and butter chicken combo. At first when I heard it was 2 naan and 1 butter chicken I thought it would only serve one BUT I was able to share my food with my roommates and save some for the next day! If you're debating, trust me it's worth it. The employees and owner of the restaurant were really friendly as well! The food was amazing, I'll definitely be back for more. read more

If you are fearful of Indian food and always say "I've never tried it." Try Signature India! My fiancé and I make Tikka Masala at home but we wanted to try some different things made for us. We got butter chicken, naan bread, samosas, and mango lassi. It was drive up window only due to Covid19, but we took that food home as quick as possible and enjoyed every last bite. Also, don't forget to tip your server, even if it's just a drive up window, for now! read more

We have been going here for over a year and never once had a bad experience. Their lunch buffet is absolutely fantastic. The food is always fresh and just the right spice. Sundays are especially good because they usually have a shrimp curry of some sort that's out of this world good. The goat is also really tender and not really chewy like some other places I've had it at. The owner always is polite and greets you and they even pass out free plain dosa. Definitely worth the price! Their chai tea and desserts are also very yummy. Love this place. read more

Who knew that Bloomington had so many great Indian restaurants! We've been blown away by Bloom Bawarchi, but I happened to be in BMI on a day that they were closed, and found this had just as many rave reviews. I was totally game, and was also blown away. I had a lunch time special, and it had chicken tikka masala, rice, two other chicken dishes that were insane, raita, and a dessert.....plus naan. I was stuffed, and wound up taking a bunch home. Now when I'm in BMI, I'll have a tough time deciding..... but I do think Signature India wins out based on customer service and ambience.... Congratulations to this restaurant -- well worth the drive from Champaign. read more

Once again.... we're a touring band on the road and every so often we come across a gem like this place. Unpretentious, but the buffet was phenomenal!!! Spicy, but not over the top. Great blend of flavors and textures. Definitely worth the trip! read more

Okay so honestly this is the best Indian food in town. The tandoori chicken and the house special chicken curry are to die for. Add some garlic naan and you've got the perfect meal. read more

I've never had an Indian lunch experience as terrible as the one I had here. It was Mother's Day and the place was dealing with a larger than usual crowd. However, Mother's Day didn't come out of the blue and this MD wasn't their first. They should have had a plan. We had a reservation for 10 at 12:30pm. We arrived at 12:30 with10. Therefore, there shouldn't have been any issues. First, they said they were not honoring any reservations today! They shouldn't have confirmed the reservation at the time it was made (a week ahead of time). The food was sub-par. Mango lassi was being dispensed in tiny Dixie cups from a water cooler. The considerably more viscous lassi poured at a painstakingly slow pace. To cap things, imagine an Indian meal with only an artificially flavored, deep orange colored custard! Never come here on a major holiday when large groups are likely to go out for lunch. read more

I give it a five out of five for the best Indian buffet I had so far. The mutton curry, biriyani, cauli flower fry, chicken fry and so many items to eat. Each of those are delicious. No compromises with the quality in such low budget. These cakes(pastry) are absolutely love. read more

I had dinner at Signature India tonight and the food was amazing. I had the Chicken Kurma. It's chicken cooked in yogurt, cream, and cashew paste. It easier flavorful and just the right amount of spicy. It comes with a bowl of rice. I also order some plain naan. That was delicious as well. I mainly use it to scoop up the sauce. The table comes with vase of water. I almost ordered the Chicken Tikka but decided against it. My girlfriend ordered it though. I tried it but was not a fan of the flavor. She enjoyed it though. She said it's the best she's ever had. It has moderately big slices of onion and green pepper. Definitive not my thing. The staff was nice. My only issue was no one bothered to stop by our table after they dropped off our food. We had flag someone down so we could get a to-go container. We sat there for a little bit curious if they were going to bring a check. I decided to go up the counter to move things along. I definitely want to try the lunch buffet so I'll be returning soon. read more

I want to give more stars, and I may give them another chance to earn them. Ordered carry out. The wait wasn't bad at all. The food looked and smelled great. The bakery looked so good I ordered an extra dessert while I was waiting for my food. The problem was that with two main course dishes, I got one tub of rice. That was clearly not enough rice. Also, I ordered two garlic Naan, and was only given one. The spice levels are a bit much as well. I would advise anyone that is spice sensitive to order the lowest level. The lamb and chicken were not great quality meats either. So I would advise that you check your order, and be prepared for the heat. read more

My updated review and rating are only based on their weekend buffet. Today I went for their weekend buffet as I did not want to cook and still wanted to eat Indian food. I have been to many Indian buffets earlier, and so did not have much expectation as my earlier experiences have not been very good. I was expecting 7-8 varieties with a miserable looking dessert and cold naans. I must say I was extremely shocked when I saw their buffet spread. It had so many varieties that I felt as if I have come to an Indian wedding. I tried my best to try everything but couldn't, considering I had too many options. They serve hot dosas and naans at your table, which my husband and I loved. I loved each and everything I tried, Eggplant curry, goat curry, fried chicken wings, tandoori chicken, chicken biryani, raita, fried okra, fried tindora, chicken pepper, masala vada, dosa, sambhar, and carrot halwa. They also had hot tea, which was icing on the cake. Overall, I loved my whole experience. I was so full but still wanted to eat more. I highly recommend their buffet. Best I have had so far. read more

Horrible customer service. I wanted to get the Black Forest cake for my wife's birthday. So I called to reserve a cake on Friday and told them I want to pick up the cake on Sunday. The person on the phone took my name/ phone number, assured me that my cake is reserved and that I can pick it up on Sunday. Then when I called on Sunday to make sure that I can come pick my reserved cake, a different person on the phone tells me that they have no reservation and that they have run out of the Black Forest cake. Imagine my surprise when I heard this since I was really looking forward to my wife cutting that cake. Upon further investigation, the person on the phone tells me that on Friday they had some temporary staff on call and they did not write down the reservation or did not bother to inform the permanent staff of my reservation. Now how was this my problem? Then they called me back to tell me that the owner, Karthik, will call me to apologize and make things right. This was back in September and I am yet to receive a call from the owner. I have ordered a couple of times from this establishment before the above incident. As for my rating for the food I would give them 2 stars because after each meal, I felt very bloated and the taste of the food is OK. The only advantage this establishment has is that it is the only restaurant serving Indian food in all for Bloomington/Normal. The pathetic customer service shows that they take advantage of this monopoly. One thing I can say for sure is that I will never be returning to this restaurant. read more

These are difficult times, this is where you see compromises in many aspects of life and businesses. But Signature stood out, with out compromises. I ordered pepper fry chicken and egg fry biriyani, both of them are out of this world. The Smokey flavor of pepper fry chicken is excellent. I usually don't write reviews, but after eating signature India food, I felt like I should mention. Well done signature india, keep it up and next time I am in this area, will make it a point to order again.. read more

Finally had a decent Indian meal here in Illinois ( except Chicago area). I live in Peoria, Illinois. And stopped going to Indian restaurants because our terrible experiences one after another. Finally thought we should drive for almost an hour and try this restaurant as our friend recommended them very highly. And we are not at all disappointed. The buffet was very versatile, veg, non-veg, North Indian food as well as South Indian delicacies. They cater for all. The appetizers were sooooo good that could not even reach to the main course... specially need to mention the pepper fish fry, hot chicken tandoori and the sesame chicken love love love... I will drive 1 hr any day to have my meal there. read more

Food was good and really had a home cooked food feel to it. They had close to 20 dishes for buffet. More non veg items than veg items. Food was a little bit oily but tasted overall good. Tandoori chicken was soft and had an authentic taste. Chicken 65 lacked authentic taste but almost all other dishes truly had an authentic taste. Unfortunately, I had to take one star off due to poor customer service from the waiters. Never took our used plates while we there and had to constantly ask for water refill. Will definitely visit agian. TIP- 5% DISCOUNT IF YOU PAY WITH CASH read more

The Indian food here is not upto the standards. Have tried 3 times and it basically lacks authenticity. Please don't try chicken lollipop. It feels rotten and over burnt. Biryani is ok but again the taste can be so better. Chicken is not tender at all. We tried multiple other Dishes and were not impressed. The bakery however is good with different flavors and options. I have heard the buffet is good and has plenty of options. I am not very optimistic but will give it a try. read more

This restaurant has very good food! The service is also top notch. I love Indian food and I am very upset that my favorite restaurant in Peoria closed, however this place sure does meet my expectations! The only thing I liked better about the other place was bigger portion size and the atmosphere was more dimly-lit, whereas this place is more casual. I will definitely go back here next time I'm in town! read more

Nice place to have authentic Indian food. Even the lunch buffet is pretty good quality. Love the food there.

Had to go to Bloomington-Normal, IL for work the last two weeks. I was looking for a good Indian restaurant for lunch. Well, I found it. I was so pleased to see other patrons that were of Indian descent eating there. That is generally a good sign of any ethnic restaurant for getting less "Americanized" dishes. The food on the lunch buffet is hot, fresh and tasty. The various dishes are well spiced. I especially liked the Goat Curry and the Chicken Biryani on the first lunch here. Both got me to break into a sweat! My 2nd time eating here (today) is just as good. No Goat Curry, but the Chicken Biryani is spot on. Plus, this time around Chicken Tiki Masala was a stand out. read more

Quite possibly the best Indian food I've had. Everything was well prepared and they even gave my son a special treat at the end of the meal. The restaurant was unusually cold, and while they didn't seem to notice that all their customers were wearing coats, they were very attentive and pleasant. The waiter gave good suggestions and they were playing Bollywood videos, which my young son loved. Next time I will get take out, and I will get a variety of items to try and not just the usual favorites. read more

The lunch buffet is your best bet if you've never been here. So much to try! And it's on the weekends too. Never got a dish here that wasn't delicious, butter chicken is a good place to start if you've never had Indian food and you're hesitant. Have to get garlic naan! HAVE TO GET MANGO LASSI OR MANGO CUSTARD. read more

Ate the lunch buffet. Chicken makhani/butter chicken was very good. Coconut rice was a surprise, very tasty. Overall everything was good.

Even our most picky eater enjoyed it. The portions were great. Chicken tandoori was okay but not great. Vegetable malaikofta was outstanding. read more

Authentic Indian cuisine, ordered the curried goat- meat was very fresh. Samosas are amazing. Friendly owners and very courteous. Try it! They will suit your spice level and explain dishes to you so you can choose what you like best. Delicious and fresh! read more

I've traveled to India and every meal was like a slice of heaven for me. I love Indian food. So, when I heard that Signature India was the best Indian place in town, I wasn't all that impressed. I thought it might be good for Bloomington/Normal, but, well, it wouldn't be good when compared to Delhi. I was wrong. The meal we had at Signature India was authentic, with those rich curries and gravies and the spices I crave. Go there or go to Delhi. You will love both. read more

I rarely rarely give out 5 stars, but this restaurant definitely deserves it. On top of the fantastic food, the customer service was outstanding. I was craving Indian food and to my surprise ol Bloomington had Signature India, with good reviews. I arrived and found that the door was closed/locked. I was greeted my a man and was told they were not doing dine in. He asked me to wait a sec and came back with a table and chairs and offered me a place outside. I was told about the lunch specials and to my surprise it was absolutely delicious and plentiful. I ordered the butter chicken, and it came with some of the best long grain Indian style rice I've probably ever had. It had tons of flavor, as well a little spicy kick. Most Indian restaurants I've had just give you a normal and bland rice, not here. All in all I was very impressed with the food as well as the customer service! I highly highly recommend this place. read more

Literally the best Indian food ever! The spice is amazing and the quality is on point! Definitely recommend!

Single handedly the best Indian food in town! Grab a lunch buffet and you will not leave upset. This is the best flavor that you can find in Bloomington. The butter chicken, chili chicken, and chicken tikka masala are some of my personal favorites. Bezawada chicken also makes an appearance and has a good spicy kick to it. Don't forget to grab a mango smoothie as you check out! read more

The food is delicious! Butter chicken, garlic naan never disappoint. My daughter loves the garlic cheesy chicken and mango drink.

My s/o and I were very impressed with this restaurant. I ordered something that was way to hot and the manager (owner?) insisted I get something else. They've always been wonderful to us here! read more

Late in posting the review since I went over the summer. It was the first Indian restaurant lunch buffet that I had been to and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious and there were so many options/choices. Have been to several other Indian restaurant lunch buffets since and none have compared. This is my favorite. Only problem is I live near Springfield. Wish a restaurant would open in Springfield read more

Last night, some friends and I decided to dine in at Signature India for dinner . . . And the service was exceptional! Our waiter was very personable, incredibly helpful, and offered us complimentary foods to try. We overall had a great experience and plan to be back in the future. read more

The most authentic Indian Cuisine in Blono. Everything tasted amazing! (The peppercorn appetizer is a must)

The best Indian food I have found in Bloomington. We eat here probably once a week!! The waiters and waitresses are great, they all come by to serve and always ask how you like your food. read more

My husband and I are fans of this place. Food has always been authentic and delicious!! Karthik the owner is attentive, obliging and gracious! We enjoyed the dosas with chuttney and sambar, tandoori chicken etc, Never been disappointed. The best in town. Tried the other places as well. We used to be regulars under the previous managment (Mayuri).We eat here as and when we crave authentic south Indian cuisine. Keep up the good work!! read more

We have been getting the lunch boxes for several weeks and they are absolutely delicious!! A wonderful variety of food, rice, naan, and even dessert, there is a lot of food and we both have leftovers. Everything is so flavorful and the price point is great. There are vegetarian and meat choices, we usually get one of each and create our own little lunch buffet. Support local business and have some wonderful Indian food, you won't be disappointed! read more
