Poor service. The food was terrible. I ordered chicken Tikka masala and buttered chicken. I drove 35 min to get home and eat it with my husband. It was a total disappointment. The chicken Tikka was really tough and seemed unevenly cooked- a litte raw on some of the chicken pieces. I swear, there was a hair in the sauce, too. I ordered a Chai tea and that was also terrible. I also ordered some Naan bread. That was probably the only decent thing I ate. The Chai tea got tossed down the drain. Both meals were thrown away. I just burned a little over $50 and I'm still hungry because we felt like if we ate it, we'd be sick- it didnt taste good at all. Also, while I was waiting for my food to be prepared, there was a young woman (family member I'm assuming) of the owner who was coughing profusely. There was no consideration for anyone- she just kept coughing and coughing. I finally decided to step outside in the freezing cold just to wait for my food to be ready as I do not want to get myself or anyone else sick. It was such a lack of respect and poor restaurant ethics. I will never return to that restaurant.

I had a wonderful experience. The South Indian dishes were expertly cooked, and the flavors were authentic and satisfying. What stood out to me the most was the Chicken Biryani—the flavors and spices were perfectly balanced, and it tasted just like a traditional Hyderabadi biryani. The restaurant maintains high hygiene standards, which made me feel comfortable and confident in my choice to dine there. The service was also top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure everything was to my liking. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious South Indian cuisine in a clean and welcoming environment.

This is the best Indian restaurant I’ve found in whole Illinois. Been in Boston for a long time, never have I had such delicious Dosa, Biriyani, Tikka, Chinese. Masala tea is special and amazing!

This has become my usual go to restaurant for weekends. Good quantity, service and fast!

Great place for dosa and biriyani, and features a very diverse menu with appetizers, curry, and meat dishes, etc.

The experience at this restaurant was a mix of highs and lows. Unfortunately, the hospitality was lacking—waitstaff seemed uninterested, and no one checked in on us throughout the meal. Dishes and silverware were visibly stained, which was disappointing. My coffee mug had a stain, and the handle felt dirty; despite mentioning it, the waiter made no effort to replace it.

The food quality was hit-or-miss. While the South Indian dishes were quite good, the North Indian and Indo-Chinese options were underwhelming and didn’t meet expectations. Additionally, the checkout process felt uncomfortable. The tipping screen starts at 18%, but with no attention to service and an indifferent attitude, it felt unearned.

Overall, after two visits I would consider visiting again only for the South Indian dishes but hope they improve their cleanliness and hospitality.
