"It feels like I am eating food not in America, but in India! Perfect Masala Dosa, perfect rice, perfect everything!!! I miss India so much, and this dishes are sending me back to my trip to Kerala"
"I have not done a review yet because I am new to this, and I wanted my first one to be one that I absolutely felt something about before writing a review. Udupi Palace mentions that some of its items are up to 70% less than in the area, something I found to be true only on one of my items the Mulligatawany Soup. This happens to be one of my favorite soups! I am used to looking in it and seeing a variety of ingredients in an appetizing mix with a beautiful aroma! This was a bowl of brown liquid soup with nothing noticeable in it other than broth and a few pieces of spice!
As I looked through most of the entrées, I was worried that so many of them were fried that they would not travel well. The masala dosa arrived lukewarm, and not much taste. I do not like leaving a negative review! Especially for my first one. However, I spent over a decade living blocks from Devon Avenue! Before I found the restaurant that I used to love, which moved, I spent five years or more trying many different Indian restaurants! Usually you end up with leftovers, the amount was slightly less than I am used to getting. In conclusion, I would not order from this restaurant again. I did not like sounding so harsh, but what good is a review if it is not completely honest!"

"I’ve mostly tried their biryanis, and they’ve consistently been good.
They also have great deals on biryani, which makes it even better value for money. Our favorites are the Vijayawada Chicken Biryani and the Veg Biryani.
The portion sizes are generous, and they always include raita on the side, which pairs really well with the biryani."
"I got the Fry Piece and chicken 65 Buy Any 2 Biryanis For $28 . It's really good and flavorful, the chicken for both was fresh, tender and juicy! Would definitely order again, although the rice to chicken ratio is 1/3. Rice being more but the container is packed! The Samosa was crispy and packed and the Mango Lassi needed nothing but ice."

"Best biryani I've had in Chicago so far . The chilly chicken biryani was spicy and flavourful which was exactly what I was looking for. The paneer biryani had a unique taste. "
"The Rasmalai (3 pieces) was good, not great. But the other dishes were a huge improvement from the last time. The Chicken Roast will last for a long while because there was so much, and it was complex and delicious. The Tandoori Chicken (2 pieces) was succulent, and the Goat Dum Biryani was also delicious and, again, came packed to the brim. The Railway Station Onion Samosa (5pieces) are always great."

"Very good! The combo meal is PERFECT for one, but too small to share. I chose the Chicken Tikka Masala and I typically request it on the spicy side, but this was just the right amount of heat. Massive garlic naan and the 10 piece cocktail Samosa is a great appetizer to share. First time having this delivered and I will DEFINITELY be ordering again! "
"Chicken Biryani tasted really good, it comes with 8oz raita and true to the selected spice level. Giving it one less star because the chicken although tasted good, was a bit undercooked. Could see a pinkish hue, but the texture was fine. Should have cooked it just a tad bit longer. "

Have potentially been a terrible one , I've been working in the industry for 20 years and genuinely think he and they are the epitome of excellent customer service and the food matches the quality of service . Do yourself a favor and order this quality food"
"bro these Veg Samosas are so fire like genuinely. they give you 2 sauces and you can be super generous with them and HOLY it's so good. they're fat and crispy (not soggy at all), and you pour the sauces over them and take a huge bite and it makes you wanna cry because of how yummy they are (also they're consistently good, i've ordered multiple times)
the pizzas are also very good in general (the samosas take the cake, but the pizzas are still awesome sauce) i got the Firecracker Pizza🔥 and it's less flavorful than the samosas (or rather the sauces), but still amazing and pretty sweet and the size i ordered came with ranch which helps with the flavor difference!!"

Flavor was awesome but even the medium was quite spicy. Garlic Naan was warm and fluffy and tons of garlic. One of our favorite go-to Indian spots!"
"The flavor of the butter chicken was okay, but the texture was just weird... it was so soft and squishy that I had trouble eating it. Never had that issue with other Indian restaurants before but probably won't give this place a try again. Garlic naan was also okay but only comes with one piece, while everywhere else gives 2 for the same price."

"The naan is fluffy and buttery, the yellow dalh was a bit thinner than the consistency I like, but the flavor was perfect. I'm also really happy that my rice came in a separate container that I was able to mix in at home :)
Everything tasted fresh and almost homemade-reminded me of my old friend's recipe."

"Usually this spot is great, but this time the 74. Chicken Tikka Masala was less flavorful and seemed watery. Needed to be cooked longer and thicken up.

"The Butter Chicken Butter Chicken Specials was exactly what i was looking for. 100% comfort in a container. Perfect size, tastes like it was made by someone who knows the cuisine. I think i may order something different from there tonight. The keema samosas I had never had before! Would absolutely get again."
"I bought the $12 butter chicken meal, and decided to add na'an on for a little over $2. For the entire meal, it was filling, and the butter chicken had great flavor. There was a good amount of rice. However, I will say that the value of the na'an is not there. For over $2, it is about the size of my hand. Usually, you expect to get na'an that is thinner and way larger. This one does not have much flavor and it is a bit dry. I believe the na'an is not worth it, and think they could make it larger. The butter chicken itself is a smaller container, but for the price getting it delivered it is fair. I would come back again to try something new!"

"The Chicken Tikka Masala was excellent. Unlike most places, the chicken was actually done in the tandoor oven! It had great smokiness and flavor. I asked for extra spicy and it was a perfect level. The Garlic Naan was fluffy and not as flavorful, but got the job done and was a good price."
"Chicken Tikka Masala was not great compared to others I've had. Samosas were good. Naans are small. Have had better Indian food for cheaper price elsewhere."

"The ONLY reason this isn't a 5 star review is because it was a little pricey especially for the portion sizes. Specifically the Mac and cheese. But the flavor was really really good on everything! The Spicy Chicken Caesar Wrap was delicious. The 12 PERi Buffalo Wings & Chips were seasoned and had lots of sauce on them & the chips were crispy! The chicken tasted fresh and it was hot when it arrived . Definitely will be ordering here again! "
"I chose the sweet potatoes as a side to the 3 Chicken Thighs. Sweet potatoes were burnt to a crisp and hidden under other sides. Small portions for the price. Food containers are not completely full. Burnt food ruins the meal."

"Samosa bomb was absolutely incredibly. Salty Cheesy seasoned amazingness. Don't know how to describe with words just get it. Malai Broccoli was also delicious although it tasted like standard (albeit perfectly roasted) broccoli with delicious cheese sauce. It was served with three small toasts which was nice for dipping in the extra sauce. I will dreamabout the samosa bomb. "
"Must say the food was absolyi below par. No taste/flavor. The gobhi was just baked/broiled and dipped into gravy, no taste. The Goan Chicken Curry require goan spice and was thoroughly lacking flavor. For $4 Malabar Paratha, it was just a small size parantha."

"I used to eat at this authentic Indian restaurant when I was living in Japan and I thought it was the best place ever. That was until I had Rangoli! Rangoli is so damn good! The rice is perfect EVERYTIME! The sauce is spot on with flavor EVERYTIME! The NAAAAAAANNNNN!!! OMG! My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I get Rangoli almost every night! And I'm about to get it again right now! So should you! "
"I order here all the time and have never had an issue. But when I ordered Butter Chicken I got 4 medium size pieces of chicken. Normally it's much more than that. And for $17.50 it felt like a bit of a rip off. Other than that the flavor was great as always."

"BothJeera Rice and Oeas Pulac were good. They were warm and freshly made. The rice could be cooked a little more because it could be softer. Otherwise great food.
The portion of Dal could be improved a little. With a lil more salt in it.
I would try more lunch boxes from here."
"Ordered bogo dal makhani and it was great. It comes with rice unlike other stores. So it's worth the $ based off of that alone. Dal was fresh and tasted rich and good. Good comfort food.

"Very good spot, will be our new be go-to for Indian! Vegetable Samosas came in 2 per order, accidentally ordered three. I wish they weren't as salty but still tasted good. We got medium spice chicken Tikka masala (good level of spice that grows as you eat and flavorful sauce, more than just that tomato taste some spots have) butter chicken was incredibly creamy and also cooked well, got spicy and could've gotten a level up. chicken biryani was also flavorful and the lemon wedge helps brighten up the flavor. also tried garlic naan (would order again, solid garlic taste) and the tandoori roti is good for eating with."
"The lamb Korma was good. There were only 4 pieces of lamb chunks in mine. Ordered it with Mild spice and it was VERY spicy. Thought it was going to be mild and couldn't finish it, due to the heat.
My mom, who also had the same as me, agreed on the spice level and also, did not eat it.
We ordered extra rice and it comes in a take out box enough for 2-4 to share. We ordered 2 extra sides of rice and it was wayyy too much. We called to ask the size of extra rice and was told "medium size" More like extra large. But we love the rice, so happy we have tons leftover. Overall, good place. Flavors were good, meat was tender. The GARLIC NAAN. Is FIRE!!! So freaking good.
It's good for at home delivery when we cant get to our go to places, Red Tomatoes or Indian Bistro.
Will order again. Thank you.
