I would like to give them 5 *. They have great host and great owner who always treated me with great respect and friendly manner. I have tried few dishes and all are very delicious. There are many more indian restaurant around but whenever we craving for food we choose to go here , their price is very reasonable and we get an opportunity to earn points and in future can redeem smoothly with no hassle. I would like to thank again the female owner whom i spoken twicw with great nature. Thanks mainland india team. Keep growing and bringing more tasty treats

This must have been under a new ownership/management or something. The entire staff is different from what I have been used to seeing. I have been to this place multiple times and it’s been a while since the previous visit. Last time I visited I remember the projector screen was working and they played nice songs. This time around the interior was out of its place. The quality and quantity of food has changed drastically where the portions are way less compared to my last visit. We had ordered the standard mail kofta, paneer tika masala, veg biryani, naan, plain dosa and maysur dosa. Out of all only the dosas were cooked properly but the sambhar was so bad that it was not worth it. The two veg dishes were identical in taste. It was only made with heavy whipping cream. It felt like eating paneer cubes drenched in cream. There are far better restaurants in the area where the taste and quality of food is much better and you get what you pay for. This place is not cheap either. This place needs some serious changes.

Ordered for the first time. The food was delicious. Large orders , lots of flavor. The samosas were huge. The buttered chicken was to die for. Very good customer service and packed very nicely. Will definitely be going back, next time will eat in.

I was not prepared for this food to be this great. I had a gathering and I ordered at least 9 different dishes for delivery. The food was delivered downtown Chicago and it was still piping hot. I've enjoyed a lot of Indian food but this place is the best Indian food place in Chicago! I can't wait to go there in person. Every item I tried was perfection! You won't be disappointed, order, dine in or take it to go.

I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for the longest…we were not disappointed. The food was made to our specifications(mild). The butter chicken was OUTSTANDING! The samosas were sooo good my daughter could have eaten them all. Although we were not able to dine-in due to the vaccination requirements, our server Anoop, A. allowed us to order takeout. He, along with the chef were the nicest people you could meet. I will definitely order from them again. Thank you for the mango lassi …delicious!

Im surprised at the high rating this place had.. but here is my thought..The ambience is good, people are good, prices are bit high but they may need a better chef ..It may be a “off” day for them.. but dint feel amazed..
I have had Indian cuisine in the past and nothing compares to this restaurant. Saying the food is delicious is an understatement; the food is pretty amazing. I have found a newfound love for food from the dishes at this establishment. I have been eating here for about a year now and it is always perfect.

I had great meals at this place and I also had some where I swear they used last night's leftovers... delivery sometimes was right on time and other times 1 hour + late with no acknowledgment of wrong. Not sure if they have few different cooks but same dish might be few different levels of heat - and lottery when it comes to food I usually not appreciated.

Really good South Indian specialities, with the gongura curries being outstanding. The meat and fish dishes were better than the vegetarian options; the veg options are pretty standard and found in most indian restaurants and the only unusual one, the jackfruit curry, was very very dry. Definitely worth a visit, and we will be back.

Mainland does this tricky thing where they created a virtual storefront on Grubhub named "Plant-Based Indian" which features their vegan dishes. This was very helpful. Food is great and they have Gobi Manchurian! (it's labeled "Cauliflower Chinatown")
