Seriously out of all the Indian restaurants places I’ve been to in IL, this is seriously the BEST on my list. Though chicken korma was the best out of all and Red Bean Dal makni must try yummy yummy samosasAll these dishes are really special I promise that you can trust me, I’m a foodie and this place is the SPOT

The service was nice, but I’m sorry, this is a really bad choice for Indian food. We ordered gobi Manchurian, palak paneer, chicken tikka, garlic naan, onion kulcha, and basmati rice. First, neither rice or naan come with the curry, so you have to buy it all separately which adds another 10+ to the meal and is far more expensive than any Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to, and I’m Indian, so I’ve been to countless. Next, the portions are way too small considering the 18 curries. Maybe it’s an illusion because of the size of the bowl, but I was regretting coming here as soon as I saw the food come out. The gobi Manchurian was ok, but the curries were the worst I’ve ever had. I’m really sorry to be this blunt but it’s not fair to charge a premium and give horrible quality. They tasted like nothing. There was no flavor. I hope this restaurant can make some serious revisions to their recipes. The onion kulcha was not good and naan didn’t seem fresh. We did not even take leftovers and I hate to waste food.

I have lots of complaints from Chicago when it comes to Indian food. Rangoli and Vajra and some stuff at Namaste Chicago are the only 3 places I am grateful to have I found, given everything else is so bad.Best Biryani and Best Samosa in Chicago. I have been looking for Biryani that I am used to eating in India. This comes the closest and the best. Every other restaurant in Chicago sells masala rice with chicken or lamb. None are biryani. If someone could just added potato and egg Rangoli's biryani can become authentic Kolkata Biryani.I have to say very few places get the samosa right. Their samosa comes closest to home. When I say home I mean UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, Bengal. We don't add peanuts or unmashed potatoes in our samosa. The potato was properly mashed with love with no lumps and thoroughly mixed, with right amount of spice and salt. Everything was just right. Crispy at the corners and right amount of brown.I have not tried anything else from here.. I would love to. But thank you so much. Hope they keep up the good work and stay consistent.

Editing my original 5 star review. The quality, service, and value of this place has fallen off a cliff in a few years. Prices are any high for small portions, the menus are edited with white out, the dishes no longer even come with rice. Not sure if a change in ownership or what, but this place no longer deserves your business.
