    As an indian myself, I don’t think its as authentic as I would expect it. Nothing crazy exciting. Service was very slow, we were waiting longer than wouldve liked between food and ordering.

    Food was very authentic from different regions of India Good for people who enjoy spiciness Ribs were outstanding Prawns were excellent Chicken meatballs were the least spicy, should be the first course as it is hard to taste the subtle flavors after your mouth is heated up with hot food

    Wow! Amazing new Indian restaurant in Lincoln Park. Almost every dish was fantastic. Lamb and rice small plate and mushroom small plate both fantastic. Daal side also amazing. Drinks both very good but many of the cocktails did seem to be overly sweet (we avoided these). Service was also excellent. Still working out a few kinks at the host stand, but nothing too signficant. Cannot wait to go back.

    A truly authentic Indian food restaurant has finally come to Chicago! We loved the dishes from different states in India! The vegetable moilee from Kerala was exactly how it is in Cochin! The goat curry was outstanding as was the dahi bhalla! Our servers were so polite and I loved the clean ambience of the restaurant.

    Loved the food, especially the mushroom kebabs. The service was great, they agreed to make us an off the menu kokum cocktail which was amazing! Would definitely recommend. The butter chicken and naan were one of the finest I’ve had in Chicgao
