The photo doesn't do the flavor explosions that took place any justice. This photo was before I poured in the delectable fish curry and morru and other accoutrementsthat came included with the dish.
The Vermicelli Payasam was small, only about 8oz for the dollar amount, but it was perfectly sweet and flavorful."

"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

"Expensive but delicious and high quality! One order can serve two with a side. I got the Murgh Tikka Masala (Chef Special) and the Murgh Makhani (Butter Chicken) with Basmat Ricei and Gar Naanlic for two and I have leftovers. Could have done with half."
"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."

"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!"
"Paneer Tikka Blaze is undercooked, hard and marination is still raw. Has no flavour and is terribly overpriced."

"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!"

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

"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!"

"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!"

"Wowowow everything I ordered was fantastic. Paneer Tikka Masala (GF) spicy packed heat without sacrificing flavor, Gobi Manchurian(V) was a great balance of sweet and spicy, still a little crispy even after transport as well. Samosa(V) was perfectly fried and crispy. I love that the naan was also slightly well done. Will definitely be a regular here!! "
"I think the food was so good, I'm disappointed on the portion size. I got the butter chicken pasta dish and barely half the box was even filled. I ordered it with chicken included and there was barely any in it. I also got the chicken 65, I think portion size was good but it was an appetizer label and was super expensive
The flavor was really good but I'm sad about the portion size. Was expecting more"

"I think this was really good! It was the perfect price and the portion was really big . The only thing I would have liked is if they would have sent a small tikka masala sauce on the side instead of the two sauces they sent. Those two sauces didn't go well with the burrito & it was kind of dry. But overall would order again and it is a great value for the cost."

"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. "

"Incredible service from Mazala , Tucker genuinely gave me one of the best experiences from what could
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!!"
