Amazing food in the restaurant. Very authentic and amazing. Loved the food. The staff helped to explain all the dishes. One of the most authentic North Indian restaurants I’ve been to. The staff checked on table pretty often even though it was busy. If you want an amazing evening with family for amazing Indian crusines this is the place to be

What a wonderful restaurant. The food was prepared fresh, hot and was delicious. The owner and wait staff took time to explain the many dishes they offer and even recommended dishes for myself and my wife's differing takes on spice level. The service was top notch, food came out fast, we were checked up on multiple times throughout our meal, and everyone was incredibly friendly and polite. You can tell this family owned establishment cares about their food, business, reputation and customers. I highly recommend for everyone. Please give it a try, you will not be disappointed. I know I plan on coming

Crazy what covid has done to the food industry. Places we love are now all competing more than ever with each other. The same Indian places I have picked up food from, the same workers, from other locations, leaving nasty reviews for another fellow businessman. This place is still great. Don't mind the negative falsified reviews. The food here is great. The owner is wonderful. The staff is respectful and all around a great experience in person or ordering in to home.

This has to be one of my top 2 restraunts in United States serving North Indian food. I ordered Chana Masala and Baigan Bharta and I must say the taste reminds me of the food serced at Dhabas in parts of North western India. Just Nostalgic. Both the dishes were so balanced in their flavours. Baigan bharta is a dish that is very easy to mess up but they cooked it perfectly. Reminded me of the baigan bharta I had in one of the shops in Amritsar. To top it off there staff was very polite. A must if you visit Champaign
