This is hands down my favorite spot to eat in the Champaign-Urbana area. Anytime someone visits and hasn’t been here before, it’s always my go-to recommendation. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff are friendly and attentive. I’ve had Indian food from a lot of different places, but this one really stands out. Who would’ve thought you’d need to come to east-central Illinois to find such great Indian food!

The food was horrible and in the tandoori plate you get literally 1/4 of the cauliflower and 1/2 of one potato pc .
It looks like the chef doesn’t have time to cut at all.
It also looked so ugly to look at.
The Samosa chaat was disgusting and had no taste.
The washrooms are terrifying and stinky n dirty .

Awesome food.
Tried this place over few days.
Loved the food on each day.
Only disappointment was “Baigan Patiala”
Their Dal both Tadka and Black is great
Vegetables, tried Aloo-Gobi, Bhindi-Pyaza, Vegetables Jalfrizi all were outstanding.
Staff could do better with smile.
This is for all Indians who run Indian restaurants they must know, Indians are very global now..
bathroom was and approach to wash room
Could be better kept.
Vegetarian options: Large vegetarian options
Must visit if you are Indian or love Indian food.

Butter chicken was good. Kinda smokey flavor.
But the Saag was really bad. It looked like canned spinach that was days old. Makes me question the freshness of the food and it was expensive.

Great tasting food. We stopped by this restaurant while we were in Champaign. The food was awesome. We had Momos, Mix Biryani, Veg Biryani, Chicken Chettinadu, And Madra Goat curry. Everything was good. Service was not good though. Had to wait for several minutes before someone came to take our order. Even after getting the order had to keep asking for water and ice.

Good food, if doing take out be sure to check the items before leaving as they get busy at times and may mix-up or forget something.
We prefer the garlic naan over the pesto naan. Butter chicken and lamb curry are our favorite.

This was our first meal there. I do not recommend the bone in goat meat dish. I won't have it again. There's far too much bone, limited meat, and too much gristle and fat. The sauce it came with, however, was SPECTACULAR. That said, my wife had the cubed lamb in cashew sauce, and it was EXCELLENT. The calamari appetizer was really good, and I'm not a fan of calamari. This was very tender.
