Yum yum yum! Visited for the first time for restaurant week and I was so impressed! The vibes are nice, good for casual or fancy dinner, the portions are really good (we both had enough for leftovers) and the food came quick and hot! Lots of fun drink options as well - also the naan is so good and fresh!

- KB

Everything is perfect! This place is an awesome formal restaurant with beautiful white cloth tables and proper service! You can also order take aways. Both are delicious. Delicious food! I have a had a lot of Indian food in my life and this place is authentic and flavorful. They have great options on curries and masala, really yummy naan, and great service. Perfect for a family outing, date, or just a meal! The price is amazing when considering all this. Under 20$ per person generally. Will definitely be back often.

-  Alex E

The food was delicious. The service was really good and everyone was very nice. The food took a little bit to come out but that's how you know it's made fresh. The atmosphere is really relaxing and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back.

-  Sarah P

Gosh this restaurant is excellent! I've been a big fan of Indian food all my life and this place takes the cake! It's so beautiful when something you love reminds you why you love it; Kohinoor reminded me why I love Indian food so much. The atmosphere was casual and calm, but the food was electric and spiced to perfection. Do yourself a favor and try the Kohinoor Lamb Aloo Gosht and a Garlic Naan, and while I don't typically love ginger, my partner's Mushroom Chicken Ginger Masala was also delightful! Even the rice is awesome here!

- Walt P.

So... the food is good. The curries don't taste as you'd expect them to, this restaurant makes them a bit different. But they're still good, and I'd say actually a bit healthier than the other Indian restaurants on campus. Would recommend if you're looking for slightly different flavors. My favorites were the Kohinoor Chicken Aloo and Navratan Korma with their Naan.

-  Pranav H

We ordered samosa chat, chicken biryani, Kohinoor chicken aloo and paneer saag. They came with naan or rice and we got one of each. They were all very good and the chicken aloo was the group favorite

-  Ann

Absolutely love this spot! The food is wonderful with plenty of options. I went with my Aunt a while back, no idea what was in store as it was my first Indian experience, but my expectations went through the roof for very Indian cuisine after this! I learned 2 things, 1. Don't judge a book by its cover, or this case, restaurant by my preconceived cuisine stereotypes 2. sometimes the best culinary experiences come from the most unexpected, unassuming places, and trying something completely new is often the key to finding a new favorite cuisine—my palate was forever changed and now I know what truly authentic Indian food tastes like! Highly recommend 👌

-  Amethyst S

Fantastic meal. Ordered the paneer chili, chicken tikka masala, butter ginger garlic chicken, and the garlic chili cheese naan. Good prices for what you're getting, service is phenomenal, staff are friendly and understanding if you have any confusion about the menu. The vibes are nice too! 10/10 definitely give it a try.

-  Cas B.

Wow. Was the first thought when I took my first bite. True flavor and good food. Other places are mehh. This place had me stuffed and full

-  Shoeb F.

4:50 arrival with reservation. Good timing.. as restaurant was very busy when we left @ 630pm. Lamb saag was prepped perfectly. Lamb was tender.  Portions generous by Indian restaurant standards. Naan came with dinner. Huge. Must have been 14" diameter. Mine was on the bottom of the stack. Could have been crispier. The cheese garlic naan is also very good. Samosa was good sized. I prefer a crispier fry, but good nevertheless.  Flavors excellent! Not spicy.  Might need to tell server spicy level.  Mango lassi came on the warmer side without ice. I'll ask for a glass of ice next time.  Everythg I sampled was terrific!

-  Lily S

We love Kohinoor! We've tried all the Indian food this city has to offer and Kohinoor is, by far, the best in town! Don't waste your money on the new Sangeat restaurant. You will be disappointed!

-  Jennifer Renee A.

My husband and I have loved Kohinoor for years. It is our favorite Indian spot in town. Recently, I’ve had to go dairy-free due to my baby having Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy. The server we had this last time was knowledgeable about the ingredients in all the food and helped me order something delicious and dairy-free. It has been SO difficult to eat out because most waiters have no idea about the allergens in their food.

-  Hope A

Always amazing food and friendly service. We crave Kohinoor and are so happy to support such a wonderful locally owned establishment! Thank you for existing! Kohinoor serves the best Indian food we have ever tasted!

-  Buffy

It was my first time trying indian food. Why didn't I go sooner????  These people were very nice and the service was outstanding. The butter chicken was some next level dining. Very friendly staff and overall excellent experience. I will be back soon. Definitely worth a visit. Cost was very reasonable and you will not leave Hungry 🙂

-  Mike B.

This place is a hidden gem. They serve a large variety of dishes, including a vegan menu and extensive vegetarian menu. The staff are knowledgeable about what is vegan and what is not, which is a lovely surprise! Our server was wonderful and accommodating - we had a large party of people. I highly recommend the vegan sausage dish, it's outstanding!

-  Aeowyn K.

Kohinoor catered our wedding and we couldn't be happier! The food was amazing, and the owner Ujjwal was great to work with. Everyone at our wedding was talking about how good the food was for days! Thank you Ujjwal & family <3

-  Tamara B.

I ate many Indian restaurants in different states. This one is one of the best. Owner and workers were so great. They don’t bore you but don’t make you feel left alone either.

Don’t hesitate to come if you’re not fun for spicy food, they have a lot of mild dishes too. We ordered both mild and spicy dishes, four different naans (flat bread) and loved all of them. We were so full and couldn’t order any dessert, I believe we missed a lot.

I spoke with one of the workers and learned this is a family owned restaurant. That’s another reason to love and support.

-  Ferhat K

This Indian restaurant is a gem in the city! The food is consistently delicious, with samosas and mango lassi stealing the show. The burst of flavors is truly memorable.

Yes, it tends to get crowded, but don't let that deter you. Be patient, and you'll be rewarded with a culinary experience that's worth every minute of the wait. This has become one of our top picks for Indian cuisine in the city.

-  Patrícia

Chicken Sekuwa is very delicious. It tastes crispy outside and tender inside. We ordered Shrimpsaag, Bhuna gosht, Lamb curry, and Chicken masala. Shrimp saag is my favorite. Bhuna gosht tastes better than lamb curry because the soup is thicker and with more flavor. Their naan is really good, especially the original flavor. Coconut kulf is my favorite, tasting like condensed milk with coconut.

-  Carol T.

Delicious Indian food in Champaign area.

Was passing by the city and thought of having lunch here.

It’s a first come first serve. No Reservations.

Bar available. We ordered Chicken Chilli, Lamb Ghost, Chicken Kebab Masala and Roti.

Everything was delicious. Service was excellent.

Tried the Indian beer - Flying Horse.

-  Viraj M.

Great service and good foods. The Samosa Chaat is excellent but the Cheese Naan is the the BOMB! It creates such unique taste with the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Butter Chicken. The cheese has a sharp taste but does not mask the curry. The foods are tasty and the spice level is perfect for me. I would consider myself having low to moderate tolerance. So, you might need to ask them to dial up the heat if you enjoy a good burn.

Service was wonderful and attentive. The server told me it might take some time after ordering because they were busier than usual. The foods were served pretty quick despite that disclaimer. Even faster than some restaurant that didn't warn me. Overall, had a good time and will return.

-  Sam W.

Two of us went for lunch and were captivated by how wonderful and delicious everything was! We can't wait to go back. It was one of our best dining experiences, certainly far superior to the competition.

-  Greg W.

Amazing food in the restaurant. Very authentic and amazing. Loved the food. The staff helped to explain all the dishes. One of the most authentic North Indian restaurants I’ve been to. The staff checked on table pretty often even though it was busy. If you want an amazing evening with family for amazing Indian crusines this is the place to be

-  Krishav Kaji K.

The food was excellent, with generous portions and rich flavors that didn’t disappoint. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal, adding to a great dining experience.

-  Mithunjha

You know the restaurant is good when they fill in what you're ordering when you start saying it. 10/10. Chicken tikka masala, chili cheese garlic nann, and mango lassi. A great combination!

-  Jeremy B.

This was our first visit to Kohinoor. This place is amazing!

The staff is excellent and the food is excellent. The place is super clean. The owner made me a special sauce to take home with me. We will be back!

-  Michael F.

first ever experience at an indian restaurant, absolutely impressed on every level. Servers are nice, food is beyond amazing, atmosphere is nice and quiet. will be back for sure. highly recommend

-  lead b.

Came for lunch and we had a wonderful time. I had a spicy lamb dish (don’t remember the name, similar to curry) and my wife had a lunch set. The fried chicken we got for our toddler was very tasty as well.

-  Drew T.

Love the food there. Very often, I taste their foods. The lamb bhuna gosht seems to me super delicious. I tried almost all the items at Kohinoor. Today we tried "Kohinoor Combination grill" which seems to me the best among all their items. I would definitely recommend this dish and specifically explore this restaurant. In my opinion, this is the best Indian restaurant in the Urbana-Champaign area. All the staffs were very friendly and of good behavior.

-  Md Muntasir A.

The staffs are friendly. Food taste is good and price is reasonable. The restrooms are very clean. This is our go to place for Indian food in Champaign. This restaurant is run by a family who work hard to serve their best and we always feel like home at this place.

Recently they have added a Vegan menu with Nepali Dumplings which is also good.

-  Vidya P...

We came here for the second time, the food is really tasty. The portion size is more than enough for an average person. Sizzlers are a must try here. We’re going to come back for sure for the scrumptious food.

-  Avijit M.

Decent food and ambience. Ordered chili chicken, mix veg pakora along with garlic naan. Natural with paneer Burgi was awesome too

-  Murugs L.

Delicious and authentic Indian food! We spent 10 days in India on a mission trip and it felt like going back!

-  Katherine W.

Really great Indian staples. The service was actually really nice. Our guy taking the orders really made sure we had a pleasant experience. Would 100% recommend.

-  Basim S

Always great food with beautiful ambient.. love to eat here i’m sure this will always be my favorite place in this town!!

-  Ujwal N.

This time, I ordered bhuna chicken chili masala and cheese naan. It was delicious!

-  Warren B.

My contact with indian cuisine was curry and home made chicken masalas every once and a while. This restaurant changed my perception of indian! I loved the spices combinations and appetizers with the tamarind and the garlic and pepper sauces! Best place of indian around Champaign!

-  Vitor F.

Lovely place to eat some good Indian foods! I especially love the lamb curry 😋... So good! Very friendly staff and management too 👌 …

-  Isaiah B.

This has to be one of my top 2 restraunts in United States serving North Indian food. I ordered Chana Masala and Baigan Bharta and I must say the taste reminds me of the food serced at Dhabas in parts of North western India. Just Nostalgic. Both the dishes were so balanced in their flavours. Baigan bharta is a dish that is very easy to mess up but they cooked it perfectly. Reminded me of the baigan bharta I had in one of the shops in Amritsar. To top it off there staff was very polite. A must if you visit Champaign

-  Pushkar S.

My wife and I have been coming to Kohinoor for years. Their food is a delight. We especially favor chili shrimp, lamb vindaloo, chicken saag, and mixed biryani. Friendly service, and we just about always get "our" table by the window.

-  Michael L.

Delicious. Best Indian food in town! The portions are always generous, well worth the price. This is especially true for the dishes like chicken tikka masala, where some restaurants will give you a lot of sauce but not a lot of meat. Kohinoor never skimps on the meat! The staff are also friendly and accommodating.

-  Jackie C.

Very nice restaurant, food is at a spice level that everyone can enjoy. Manager was very friendly and even packed up our mango ice cream with tinfoil and ice to keep it cold!

-  Claire S.

Amazing Indian food at decent prices.

Got the mixed tandoori platter and each piece was tender and full of flavor, also ordered the pista kulfi (shown in picture) which was also excellent.

-  Riley J.

Amazing and tentative service. Clean atmosphere. Very authentic and delicious food!

Try the chicken tikka masala!! 🍛

-  Alex N.

Amazing!!! Best Indian food I have ever had, excellent service with super nice staff and great servings. Highly recommend. Jasmine rice was to die for, so was our appetizer, the bhel puri.

-  Chelsea S.

The owner sat us down and was very welcoming. The food was seasoned to perfectly, naan bread was amazing and the experience was delightful. Nice casual atmosphere that used to be a Mexican restaurant, so they have some remodeling to do. Nonetheless the food was super.

-  Michael M.

This is my spot! My favorite restaurant in Champaign. The food is always delicious and Ujjwal and his team are friendly and helpful!

The last time I went I got the Malai Kofta. It’s a filling dish made with rolled vegetables and cheese in an savory curry sauce! I also love their Chicken Saag, a spinach curry with chicken, Baingain Bharta, an eggplant curry, and Mountain Chicken, something akin to fajitas.

-  Joshua L.

I have been craving good Indian food since I got pregnant. I HIGHLY recommend the Lamb Korma. Very nice people and such a calm atmosphere. The food is so good and even the mild food as a little bit of a heat to it, but not by a lot. Love love love this place!

-  Dakota D.

We loved the Chicken 49, the aloo chili masala with homemade paneer, and the kohinoor naan.

-  Anna P.

I always get the takeout but the restaurant is so comfortable and welcoming inside. I get the chicken saag, chicken makhani, and the cheesy garlic naan. It's the best food I've ever had in my life. The rice is so fragrant I could eat it by itself. A real treat, highly recommend

-  Cody A.

HIDDEN GEM! I cannot overstate how good and authentic the food is here. I go to Champaign twice per year and each time I must visit Kohinoor! The food is delicious, the service is great, and their prices are fair. 10/10 recommend.

-  Gustavo O.

Great value, authentic taste and lots of vegetarian options!

-  Adwait K.

I work for a college and we took a group of 15 students here - a lot of them trying Indian food for the first time. The staff were super friendly and the food was amazing. The students were very content after the meal. Thank you, Kohinoor for yet another delicious meal!

-  Gavin S.

We had a great dinner to celebrate our graduate here. The ambiance was very welcoming, the service outstanding and the food was the best I had tasted outside India.

Two thumbs up to our servers. Big smiles and professionalism.

Will go back when we return to town.

-  Blanca C.

This place is the best Indian place in Champaign-Urbana. The last place that was this good was in New Jersey. Iselin is where many of the Indian-Americans in New Jersey live, and you can smell the curry five miles out. Palace of Asia is marginally better, and this place equals it. Everything I’ve had is wonderful here, and highly recommend it. Everything is superb.

Edit 2/9/2026

The food is still consistently great, and the naan hasn’t shrunk at all. Again, best Indian in Champaign.

-  David M.

This is the best Indian restaurant in CU. Service is always very quick and staff is very friendly. The dishes are delicious and the portion sizes are great for the prices. Always a positive experience here!

-  Roland G.

Good food and friendly workers. Pricing seemed very reasonable. Overall was a good experience. Would highly recommend!

-  Mitchel R.

Delicious food and the staff were lovely and very helpful. My family enjoyed everything we ordered and I greatly appreciate the kind man at the register that helped me decide what to order he was very pleasant. I will be coming back again!

-  laura a.

This place has ruined all other Indian food for me. It’s set a bar for taste that no other place I’ve been to has been able to reach! The naan is absolutely perfect every time.

-  Nate S.

I did ordered one of the vegetarian lunch specials . My companion ordered a non vegetarian lunch special. Each one of us received a large round platter with each food item in it's own bowl. The food taste really good. I really liked how it was a variety of different dishes. Perfect if you can't decide what 1 dish you want or if you have no idea what to order. I have eaten a lot of Indian food at a lot of different places and States. I'm definitely going to be making this place a regular stop whenever I'm in town.

-  Christina M.

What a wonderful restaurant. The food was prepared fresh, hot and was delicious. The owner and wait staff took time to explain the many dishes they offer and even recommended dishes for myself and my wife's differing takes on spice level. The service was top notch, food came out fast, we were checked up on multiple times throughout our meal, and everyone was incredibly friendly and polite. You can tell this family owned establishment cares about their food, business, reputation and customers. I highly recommend for everyone. Please give it a try, you will not be disappointed. I know I plan on coming back many times in the future.

-  Andrew H.

This was a fantastic place to have an Indian meal. Food was great and very flavorful. Prices were what was expected for a sit down meal. Nice atmosphere and lighting. Waiter was attentive

-  Chris S.

This is my favorite restaurant in the Urbana/Champaign area. The food is delicious! I love the thalis that they have at lunch. I also appreciate that you can order vegetarian dishes to be prepared in a vegan style. Also, the owners and staff are very friendly - when my wife ordered a new Nepalese dish (which she says was delicious) they just put on their menu, they came over to explain all of the different components. You can tell they take pride in their work.

-  Matthew R.

Great service, even better food. One of the nicest restaurants I've eaten at. Got a little pricy, but that was mostly my group ordering more food than we should have.

-  Ansel V.

The best Indian food I've had in a long time. Very welcoming staff and enjoyable atmosphere. Will be back. The butter chicken was delicious and the five star hot was just the level of hot for my husband... delicious!

-  Ramona M.

Had dinner here last month while visiting this area. Excellent selection of vegetarian (including vegan) options, as well as non--vegetarian options. Being from New Jersey, most Indian restaurants near me don't serve alcohol, but this one did. They had Indian beers, as well as a few non-Indian wines (can't remember if they had spirits). Tried the Maharaja beer which actually tasted better than I expected. Good appetizer and dessert menus as well. I certainly left feeling full.

-  Vincent S.

Lamb vindaloo was great! The Naan stole the show. Great service and atmosphere.

-  Justin L.

Love their food, very authentic and the owner is very nice, went there twice so far, VERY satisfied. Will visit there at least a few times a year.

-  A K

Me and my roommates love this place! Today I had a lamb biryani, and they got chicken saag and jalfrezi. Everything was assembled perfectly, came out decently quickly and the fresh naan bread is probably the best in town! All of the above plus an appetizer set our table back less than $60, to boot. If you enjoy Indian food even a little bit and haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for??

-  Taizen C.

It’s really good and reminds me of my India friends cooking. Go here!!

-  Blynn A.

Place is clean with awesome decorations. Food was super flavorful and the servings are surprisingly large. We ordered 3 entres for 5 people with rice and garlic naan. And the staff was really smart because we forgot our leftovers and someone ran and gave it to us from the side door. Just a great place to celebrate. More

-  Nora D.

I'm newer to Indian cuisine, but this place has been the best so far. I got Paneer Tikka and chili garlic naan. I also got to try their mango Lassi and Samosas. Delicious. The restaurant was lovely, even the bathrooms, and staff was very friendly. Definitely one of my new favorite spots.

-  Ash G.

The food is always so good and service is great. Best Indian restaurant around. We celebrated our birthday here today and they were nice enough to bring out desserts to everyone!

-  Samantha S.

I visited several area restaurants seeking authentic food, but Kohinoor surpassed them all. Their home-cooked Daal, tasted a few months prior, was remarkably authentic, stirring memories of my mother's cooking and childhood. This neat and clean restaurant, owned by Ujjwol and his family, has become my preferred destination.

-  Jerri

I went there with my husband. we ordered one chicken biryani, one fried chicken and one garlic nann and one spicy shrimp. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and everything tasted so good! I recommend chicken biryani the most! Plan on going there again with my friends

-  Sarah.K

Our server was great. We didn't know the garlic shrimp came in a tomato based sauce (wife is allergic) and they quickly made her some Tandoori shrimp to replace it. The room could use some attention -- dying.plants, peeling paint, stained floors. But the food is excellent.

-  Paul S.

Truly fantastic! The Kohinoor special Naan is amazing and this place is officially on my take out rotation.

-  McKenzie L.

This place was fantastic! We got the shrimp as an appetizer which was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. I had the lamb vindaloo and my date had the chicken tikka masala. With our main entrees we had a cheese naan and a chili cheese garlic naan and both were phenomenal. 🤌

-  Raymond C.

I have been going here regularly, but today I ate a vegan meal (thali style) with several dishes. It was absolutely delicious, healthy, and filling. It's a special for this month. Completely worth the price. I'll definitely go there again for the vegan thali. I don't even need to eat dinner after that.

- Suneeti J.

My husband and I had lunch here today, and shared our first Indian food. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about our experience. I am vegan, and I felt like I had so many options (and without spending a lot of cash). I also asked for my dish to be moderately spicy and it was perfect! We started with the samosas and they were so good. There is a selection of sauces on the table, and we had fun trying all of the delicious flavors. The Naan is so delicious. Atmosphere and music are great, bathrooms clean, and staff was so friendly. Highly recommend.

-  Megan R.

The naan is always delicious and I was trying to look sharp one night and the owners let me take a peacock feather as flair. it's always fun meeting the strange fun people out there. those that get it in this Indian place in the Rose bowl tavern get it

-  P R

One of the best Indian restaurants in the area. The food is great. There is something on the menu for everyone no matter what you're in the mood for. The service is fast and customer-focused whether dining in our carrying out.

-  Kaamilyah A.

This was my first experience with Indian food. As a first timer the food was excellent. A new twist on flavors and spices was very much welcome! The prices are amazing! A meal for two and dessert with tip, for under $40. I'm for sure coming back and encourage anyone who has never had Indian food to give it a try, I don't think you will be dissapointed.

-  Dara W.

Tandoori Shrimp and the Naan unbelievable. It’s OMG good and fresh! Hubs had the Lamb it was equally bomb! I wish we had room for dessert. Our waiter was very kind and helpful. We are 1 hour away and that is all we have talked about for the ride home. Can not wait to go again.

- Rachel M.

My family and I love this place! Very authentic and delicious Indian food. The owner and his family run everything from the kitchen to the front of house. The service is fantastic. Coming from the Chicago area and living around central Illinois for years I would say it's easily the best in central IL and would match or beat anywhere in Chicago. Pro tip: park for free in the Post Office lot after hours on east side of Kohinoor

-  jasonTmack

The prices of this place are on par with ambar Indian grill. But the main difference about this place is the quantity of size compared. The food of both places are unique of one another. Maybe due to the cultural differences of both places.

But we ordered take out and over the food was amazing. Only issue we ran into was that they missed one of our order. But they delivered that missing order to us and gave us 2 more samosa than what we purchased. Overall amazing experience and restaurant.

-  Steven L.

Koh-i-noor is the best Indian restaurant in Champaign. The waitstaff is incredibly attentive and the food is spectacular.

-  Annalisa M.

Love this place!!! The food is always delicious and reasonably priced with good sized servings. The staff is very helpful, especially the owner who is so friendly and has a smile for everyone. It is a nice atmosphere as well. It is definitely my favorite Indian in town.

-  Rachel V.

Excellent atmosphere with outstanding people around. Great hospitality and genuine delicacies. We come here every week! Can’t miss it! The owner is one of the greatest souls! We love being here!

A family-owned restaurant...awesome hospitality, very courteous and caring staff and a home-like ambience. The owner himself is the main chef..he is extremely kind and humble. We go every weekend not just for the yummylicious food but the warmth and care from every one at the restaurant.Would definitely recommend to go and try out their exclusive dishes. I’m confident that you’ll start get addicted to their food.

- Anindita B.

This place was THE BEST. I had extremely low expectations going out and came out fully surprised. The staff is incredibly friendly and always making sure you are having a good time. The prices are very fair, not expensive at all. The food did not take long what so ever and was super delicious. Have caution when it comes to the spicy dishes as theyre actually pretty spicy (i got a 4). overall 10/10 would recommend

-  Beatriz R.

Always a treat to come here. Food is very good, so are prices. Service is decent. Get the Korma chicken and order a side of garlic butter naan.

-  Pete S.

Hands down the best Indian restaurant in town. The food is unbelievably authentic and delicious. The chicken curry and naan melts in my mouth. The shrimp vindaloo is juicy and explodes with flavor and spices. The staff is amazing. Welcoming and friendly every time. I particularly enjoyed my service with Brandy, who was very accommodating with the service being slow because of the dinner rush. She comp-ed us free Indian ice cream dessert which was quite tasty and worth trying. All in all, definitely go to this restaurant if you're a fan of Indian cuisine. You will not be disappointed!!

-  Brendan H.

We love going to Kohinoor! It is one of our favorite restaurants in town! Friendly staff, amazing food, and cozy environment!

We love sitting in the booths and enjoying great family time with amazing food!

Make sure you try the Mango Lassi after your meal!

- Andrey G.

I love this place! Best Indian food in town. I eat here often and always enjoy it. You can ask for what ever degree of heat you want, which is helpful because I am a wimp and can’t eat anything too spicy. Great flavors too!

- Elizabeth Felts O.

Best place in the area for delicious Indian food. Will definitely be going back!

-  Warren L.

There are quite a few great Indian restaurants around town and this is one of the better ones. The food is always excellent. My favorite is the Chicken Vindaloo which I usually get extra spicy.

Portion size is quite large so a lot of friends like to take some home.

Atmosphere is great and the staff are very friendly.

-  Anthony M.

Best Indian food in UC!! Great samosas, bread (naan and roti are both always so great as they are fresh out of the tandoori oven). As a vegan, this place has provided delicious food options since I started going there 5 years ago. Ujjwal is also an excellent, kind, and compassionate owner and hospitable host. 5/5!

-  Chris Ma.

Really good. Staff was great, food was fantastic, prices not bad. I've eaten here a couple of times and have enjoyed it.

- krknights

My favorite (north) Indian food restaurant in Urbana Champaign area. Very economic and reasonable pricing. If you want "real spicy" indian food in town, look no further. However, this is not the reason I am writing this review!!

The other day, I went here for a take out order. My order was a couple of minutes late. The staff apologized many times and offered me a mango lassi on the house. This is the level of polite and friendly staff!!

- S

This is the BEST Indian food I have had in years! My husband and I started with the samosas, went on to lamb korma and chicken tikka masala with garlic naan and mango chutney and washed it down with the masala tea that they made fresh for us. It was all FANTASTIC. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and the service was attentive. We travel through Champaign at least once a year and will definitely be back the next time we are through.
