"This place is SO GOOD! Utterly delicious Indian flavors and super unique menu items. Every time I head into the city I eat here and I’ve never been disappointed!"

"Okay this is the best Indian food I had in Chicago. Very limited in variety, but sooo sooo authentic, aromatic and well done. The ghee rice combined with their makhani sauce is something I only had this good in India. More people need to try this. So far I have ordered 4 times from this place already. The rice is very well done just like home, very fresh. I think their goal is quality over quantity. You will never get this fresh rice anywhere else."

"Tried this place for the first time and was pleased with flavor and dishes. Okra fries were a huge hit and the spicy chutney was amazing. Pulled chicken was also delightful. Glad there’s a new option for some tasty Indian food in the Humboldt Park area. Picking up food was a bit different but easy enough: you have to go into a large building/food hall entry(?), check in with a person, then wait for a text. This setup could be limited to only during COVID but might be helpful to know. The building itself is pretty nondescript and the signage may be a bit easy to miss if picking up at night. All in all: delicious food, great spice, will be ordering again soon."

"Food here is incredible. Pulled chicken sandwich was amazing. Okra was great. The chaat was good as well however I've never had that before so I have nothing to compare it to; it was incredibly flavorful though. Highly recommend the french toast too. It wasn't aggressively sweet which was nice. Definitely adding this to the growing list of Humboldt go-to lunch spots."
