Ordered online for pickup through Clover. Somehow, the order went through but when I went to pick up my order, the place was abandoned. Seems like the restaurant is closed. The call on their online phone number did not go through either.

The Indian food in Champaign is not the greatest — far from it to be honest. But this place takes it to a new low. Our 6 dollar butter naan was raw dough. The bhuna paneer was diced tomatoes (not fully cooked) with some sautéed paneer. The samosas had no salt. How can anyone in good conscience sell this food for money? And worse, how are we as clientele ok with this daylight robbery?

We dined in and the food was exceptionally well spiced, delicious and aesthetically pleasing. Great service and a very pleasant owner. The server was friendly and efficient. An obvious go to for local takeaway or take out options because there was so much traffic in and out for pick up.

My friends and I tried this place recently and it was delicious! By far some of the best Indian food that we have had in the Champaign area. The owners were very nice and accommodating to our large group. I would highly recommend any of the grill dishes, the mango lassi, and the paneer tikka masala.

Went a bit ago. Nobody else there. Kitchen staff yelling at each other, miscommunication on order to the actual table, just overall kind of iffy. That location is just a bad spot. Maybe better to go but given the recent Indian restaurants popping up, find better choices out there.

Me and my friends had dinner at this place and the food was amaaaazing!! It’s a hidden gem in Champaign that everyone should try! I had Lamb Korma and it was delicious, the lamb was very tender. I also tried my friend’s food and everything was perfectly cooked! Recommend this place 100/10

Terrible service. Ordered delivery through Uber eats at 11:15 AM, supposed to be delivered at 11:55 AM. Restaurant accepts the order but two delivery agents failed to pick up my order. Had to cancel my order after 90 minutes of waiting.

Visited on 03.18.2024 - Taste was horrible! We ordered various food items and none of the item taste like to be Indian food. Kabob seems to be used from frozen [days old] and not appears to be made fresh on the same day. Sorry to say, but I would not recommend this place to anyone.....I waste my money yesterday.

Real experience yesterday - Mexican Chef cooking Indian food. South Indians please do not try any type of Biriyani, it tastes really bad. Not recommend.

My partner and I stopped in today for a late lunch. The restaurant is smaller but very pretty inside. Neither of us have ever had Indian food before and so the waiter gave us suggestions. For an appetizer we had the Samosas which is a pastry stuffed with potatoes and peas then deep fried. It is served with 2 dipping sauces. The light color sauce was too spicy for me but I LOVED the dark sauce. I don’t remember the name of it but it reminded me a little of bbq sauce with some apple sauce mixed in. I know that’s not what it is (I asked, LOL) it just had that flavor profile to me. We then had the Chicken Tikka Masala which is chunks of chicken breast roasted and served in a creamy tomato sauce, served with a flat bread. I LOVED that dish! Close to campus and down town Champaign, I recommend trying Masala Indian House for lunch or dinner! You can do take out as well.

Went here from the hospital on my lunch break. The food was very tasty! We had aloo tikki chaat to start, chicken biryani for a main and pista kulfi to finish. Also had some masala tea with the naan basket they provided (lovely surprise). The food felt like I was eating in someone's home, very comforting. Everything tasted fresh. The restaurant was very clean and it had a nice, calm atmosphere. Service was excellent and everything was very affordable. We will be back for sure. :)

Edit: Went for dinner and wish I didn't. The staff working in the evening make quite a difference. The woman working there was rude to my partner who ordered and tried to correct her order (with incorrect information to top it off). She brought the wrong order out, insisted it was correct, and then later brought out the correct order but we were left sitting there for quite some time. There were only 2 other tables occupied and it was well before closing. We paid in cash and were told we couldn't have a receipt, and didn't receive our change.

We enjoyed: 1) garlic shrimp marsala, 2) three types of naan, 3) tandoori shrimp and 4) a curry dish. The food was picked up and hot when we enjoyed it at home. Nice addition by a new restaurant in town. Thank you.
