The south side of Chicago is a bit of a food desert for high quality ethnic food or even good…read morerestaurants. I visit family a few times a year and have struggled to find reliable places (or really any), especially for Thai and Indian. Well, this new restaurant changes all of that. The food is delicious, and very fresh. It has some unique flavor profiles but they are more complex than expected. I got the Lamb Vindaloo and it had a more rich and interesting mix of ingredients than I have found elsewhere. One good test too is if you feel good afterwards as some places use oils instead of onions for the base. This place passes on all fronts. The rice and naan were decent as well. I was told that the spice index was (2=mild, 5=medium, 7=hot). I ordered a 6 and it was pleasantly spicy/hot. I have a feeling that 7 is "white guy hot" and if you really like it spicy and can handle ethnic levels of spice, 8-10 is probably there for you if requested. The place was basically empty and other reviewers have mentioned how quiet it is. I came on Monday night and it had been raining, so I wasn't expecting much of a crowd. A few takeout drivers came in. The service was excellent and friendly and informative. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. It is very basic/functional with a little bit of decoration. Lots of seating. The south side doesn't have a lot of great buildings with character and many are more "strip mall" like, and I can appreciate that it would be a bit hard to make it look that great. Overall a definite 5 stars and I will come back again in the future.

This is the best Indian restaurant in IL. They have the most delicious food! I have tried at least…read morehalf of their large menu of options and have not been disappointed even once. My absolute favorite dishes that are a MUST TRY are Chef Sumit Rawat's Tandoori items including Afgani Kebabs, Aachari Tangri Kebabs, Paneer Tikka Dry Kebabs, Tandoori Lamb Chops, Tandoori Shrimp, and Tandoori Salmon. That is only a portion of the Tandoori menu, all of the Tandoori items are mouth watering dishes with incredible flavor and succulence. Some of my other favorite dishes from the restaurant are the Kara Kolambu Eggplant, Methi Chicken, and Butter Chicken Masala. They also have a large bar with great specialty drinks. They have something for everyone for sure! Their naans are delicious especially the garlic and gongura naan. The appetizers are all tasty and my favorites are all of the Gobi appetizers, Chilli Parotta, any of the chicken/shrimp 65s, any of the Manchurians, and the Ginger Chicken. Must try desserts are the rasmalai, and the rabdi ka jamun. The atmosphere, ambiance, food and drinks make it one of the top places to meet with friends and loved ones, whether it's just two of you or a larger party of people (they also do VIP groups if you want to celebrate a special occasion there)! Sometimes they even have club nights where they play music of a theme for a night such as (R&B/Rap/Pop, South Indian & Bollywood, Latina Nights). They have special lighting and sound systems for these events. Keep an eye out for these invents for a great time (they usually advertise them on social media)! All in all, you must try the full experience that is Bloom Bawarchi! You will be addicted and make it a weekly staple for sure.
