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

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.

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.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking right outside the front door

Put frankly it's a scam, me and my girlfriend came in with a $10 off coupon they refused to let us use it. They claimed they didn't associate with the app the coupon was from but gave no prior warning.

We bought a GotSpot coupon which was the only reason we came here and they refused to take it despite it not being expired, and they did this to several other people. On top of that the food was mediocre at best and didn't even come out warm. The host who seated us was wearing what I would call sleep clothes and was EXTREMELY unwelcoming and rude. Do not eat here.

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.

We went for dinner last night & the food was great! Service was also great. The food came out fast & hot. I ordered samosas malai kofta, & aloo gobi (vegetarian). They were all delicious!

We tried the Mali Kofta, the Tikka Shrimp Masala, and the Tandoori Chicken. All were outstanding, as was the Naan. The owner is super friendly!

This place was absolutely awesome. I had never had Indian food before and trying the dishes here was good enough to make me a fan of Indian food. We tried a variety of dishes and the samosas and garlic Nan were great. I got the mixed grill that came with chicken tika masala kabobs and lamb with a yellow curry. It was great. I would say that since they were a new restaurant the atmosphere was a little lacking no music was playing at the time we went. Other than that the restaurant was clean and there was plenty of seating. The service was excellent and they were very attentive. Would definitely recommend this place if you like authentic Indian food

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.

I've been here for lunch before and it was a better experience than dinner. I'll only be going for lunch and checking which staff is there. The food is already not authentic so being told that my order doesn't go together was annoying. After waiting what seemed longer than usual my food arrived wrong and had to wait about 10 minutes for the lady to come back to tell her, and she was adamant that it was correct. She finally realized it was incorrect and took it back. She left part of the food that had already been sitting there, so we had to share from a small bowl because the food would get cold if we waited to start eating for the rest of the meal to come back correct. No discount or checking in to see if we were comfortable. I paid with cash and wasn't given my change or a receipt. I was told because it was cash I couldn't be given a receipt. I was very disappointed and kept apologizing to my guest because I had originally mentioned how great it was during lunch. Dinner time is not the time to go. Mind you there were only 2 other tables and one had already been eating before we got there.
