"I have loved dining at Siri for quite some time, but I recently hired them for live catering for my event, and they completely blew me away! We had a live dosa center and a live chaat center, and their team did a truly fantastic job.
I also have to give a special shoutout to the owner for saving the day. Just two days before the event, we hit a major hiccup when our venue informed us that vendors couldn't bring their own propane gas for liability reasons. I panicked, but when I called the restaurant, the owner was incredibly accommodating. He went completely out of his way to figure out how to make it work using the venue's existing gas range. Even though it wasn't his usual or ideal setup, he just made it happen flawlessly and without any complaints. I am so grateful for his flexibility and dedication!
Despite that last-minute hurdle, the execution was perfect. The quality of the dosas was absolutely amazing, and the chaat was just as great. What really stood out to me was their service. The way the food was served was perfect, and they genuinely took wonderful care of all our guests. Even with a hungry crowd, their speed and efficiency were top-notch, ensuring no one was left waiting long.
To top it all off, they are extremely reasonably priced for the incredible quality and service they provide. I can't say enough good things about this place. I would highly recommend Siri's catering to anyone—friends, family, or anyone looking to elevate their event. Thank you, Siri, for making our gathering so special!"
"This is my favorite Indian spot in Chicago. The spice is perfect on its own (I would say ask for mild coz they are gonna lay it on thick!) the portions are huge I can barely finish my food every time and their cheese garlic naan is so delicious. This is my hidden gem

"I genuinely order this every week or every other week. Most amazing food ever. My friend has been to Michelin Indian places and says this is legit better when I made her try it.
I tell everyone about this place because it's the best Indian I've had in my life. Also the price is great because they give a lot of food."
"The Crab Curry was definitely the standout item for me, nicely spiced and with a very large portion of crab for the price. The Saag Paneer we had asked for spicy but it really wasn't spicy at all, though we still enjoyed it. I found the Murgh Sagwala to be too salty for my taste. I would have preferred it to be more spicy than salty, which I thought it would be from the description. The food was packaged very nicely in a paper bag and good containers, thank you for no styrofoam! Overall, I prefer spicier Indian food (guess I need to go to Devon for that) but I'd come back to order the crab curry again. If you prefer a more mild take on Indian food this place might be perfect for you though! Maybe if you eat at the restaurant rather than delivery they can make it more spicy, I'll have to investigate more if I am ever in the area and craving Indian food."

Absolutely delicious! I ordered the chicken samosas and chicken tikka biryani, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned.

"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."

"I’ve ordered from Urban Turban by VeerGi multiple times, and this order was another great experience. The Chole Bhatura was excellent, with flavorful chole that had a rich, well-balanced spice profile and tasted freshly prepared. The bhaturas were soft, fluffy, and generously sized, making the portion more than satisfying.
The food arrived well packaged, and everything was still fresh when I opened it. I especially appreciated that the curry was packed securely with no spills or leaks. The quality and consistency have been impressive across multiple orders, which is one of the reasons I keep coming back.
The portions offer great value for the price, and the flavors feel authentic and comforting. It’s not always easy to find restaurants that consistently deliver both quality and quantity, but Urban Turban has done that for me. The ingredients tasted fresh, the food was filling, and the overall experience exceeded expectations.
Highly recommend the Chole Bhatura to anyone looking for a satisfying meal. Looking forward to ordering again soon!"

"This is my go-to place for my favorites: Lamb Sahi Korma and Rasmalai - other places sometimes add tomato to their korma sauce but Cumin - Their korma is rich, creamy bright yellow and has just a subtle tinge of heat.
Their Rasmalai are perfect: firm, but moist throughout and not grainy at all.
The Bhatura are great too - a lot of places 'fry' their naan or poori in a skillet or on a griddle, which usually just results in the bread being gross and oily instead of crispy - Cumin flash fries their bread properly so it forms these awesome big crispy bubbles.
other outstanding things I've had from here include their papadam, raita, poori, naan, garlic naan, peshwari naan and Gulaab Jaamun
I'm very picky about my Indian cuisine and I used to have to order certain things I like from different places because I couldn't find a single restaurant that actually makes all the things I like and makes them all really well... until I tried Cumin - since then this has become the only Indian place I order from!"

Unfortunately, I failed to request utensils. :(
Good thing I also order some garlic Naan to eat it the traditional way. :)"
"The Veg. Platter (Chef Recommended) is so good! Plenty to share, tasty, nice variety of delicious foods.
We love the Kasmari Naan. It is gently flavored, just a little sweet, but not so much that it can only sit at the dessert table. Kasmari Naan can sit at any table.
Everything was packed so well, I was expecting a few things to have spilled in the process, but everything was perfect and closed tight. It was warm, fresh, and wonderful.
I could say so much more, and all of it would be enthusiastically positive. We hope to order from this restaurant again in the future."

"First time ordering here and the 406. Chicken Tikka Masala and the 401. Chicken Curry were both excellent! Good level of spice that tasted great but didn't have my mouth on fire. Oh, the 701. Naan portions were HUGE and so so good. Really convenient pickup window on the sidewalk so we didn't even have to go inside. Will definitely be ordering again!"
"Omg I love them. I'm not going anywhere else I ordered the butter chicken and it asked about spice level, I wanted medium, but still a good kick... so I said I want to sniffle a little and OMG they have perfected it. Lastly, do not skip out on the garlic naan, you will not be disappointed. Portion size was good for one, sorry I forgot a pic I was so hungry and dug in."

"Amazing and authentic fresh food!!"
"i really wanted to like this place since it's around the corner, but this place has no flavor or spice. it's truly the blandest asian food i've had. the chicken breast was sketch and had bones throughout. the naan was okay, but even that didn't wow me. just be aware it's bland and meat is kinda sketchy"

"The Paneer Kadai was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced — just like a proper Indian dhaba-style dish, with soft paneer soaking in that bold masala. But the real star was the Rabdi — thick, creamy, and beautifully sweet with hints of cardamom and saffron. It tasted just like home, pure comfort in every bite!"

"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. "
