I had high hopes for the food given all the reviews by bloggers and instagram influencers but the food was sub par. It was surprising given the quality of the other restaurants in the group. Service was pretty good. Over all for the price we paid I expected more.

All the dishes that we ordered were amazing. We ordered the Vada pav (was as good as the Mumbai vada pav), cauliflower 65, ghee roast aloo chat, shrimp kolidwada (best dish), butter chicken croquettes, prawn fried rice and hyderabadi biryani. The service was also very good. I’d definitely recommend this place to whoever visits Chicago.

Happy hour is a must! I miss the chicken wings but the butter chicken croquettes and garlic naan are still a win!

If you are interested in a blend of Indian/Portuguese food, this casual River North restaurant is the place for you. The food is very good, and the portions generous. Service couldn't have been better.

The food was great. Especially loved the paneer makhani. The beachy vibe was nice. One recommendation would be to have some nice bollywood music during regular hours.

The food was amazing!! And their take on the old fashioned was something so different and so good. It was my mom’s first time and my dads second time trying Indian food, and they loved it as well! I think the service could be a bit better. The person at the front was not very welcoming & it felt like our server forgot about us at some point. The ambiance is nice but the music was too loud and just didn’t fit the vibe. I’m in my 20s, I enjoy music festivals, but not when I’m having dinner. It was loud EDM music that was too high energy. But overall enjoyed my time and will be coming back!
