The south side of Chicago is a bit of a food desert for high quality ethnic food or even good…read morerestaurants. I visit family a few times a year and have struggled to find reliable places (or really any), especially for Thai and Indian. Well, this new restaurant changes all of that. The food is delicious, and very fresh. It has some unique flavor profiles but they are more complex than expected. I got the Lamb Vindaloo and it had a more rich and interesting mix of ingredients than I have found elsewhere. One good test too is if you feel good afterwards as some places use oils instead of onions for the base. This place passes on all fronts. The rice and naan were decent as well. I was told that the spice index was (2=mild, 5=medium, 7=hot). I ordered a 6 and it was pleasantly spicy/hot. I have a feeling that 7 is "white guy hot" and if you really like it spicy and can handle ethnic levels of spice, 8-10 is probably there for you if requested. The place was basically empty and other reviewers have mentioned how quiet it is. I came on Monday night and it had been raining, so I wasn't expecting much of a crowd. A few takeout drivers came in. The service was excellent and friendly and informative. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. It is very basic/functional with a little bit of decoration. Lots of seating. The south side doesn't have a lot of great buildings with character and many are more "strip mall" like, and I can appreciate that it would be a bit hard to make it look that great. Overall a definite 5 stars and I will come back again in the future.

Listen to me, I've driven by this place so many times and wondered what's really good to eat here…read more Most of the time I was intimidated by the traffic here, and how cramped it can seem - but let me tell you, the food is WORTH IT, man! Just the bowl of lamb broth pre-meal is worth an hour of wait. I DREAM OF THAT BROTH, it was that good. I wanted to seek out the chef, and kiss his/her hands, but I don't have bail money, so I didn't. Their grilled fish was also to die for; booked through perfectly, and juicy, with a bunch of beautifully caramelized seasoning giving it a scrumptious yet delicate flavor. Baba Ghanoush can be had as a main, versus a side, the portion is aplenty, and the flavor is top notch; I prefer my ghanoush more chunky, but this is creamy and satisfying too! Overall, thoroughly satisfied, this is the kind of meal that will have you hating yourself for not getting here sooner! Go try it now..... it's not just about Yemeni Coffee, the food is amazing too!

Yemani Adni tea was good, but unfortunately was pre mixed with sugar - no other choice was possible. Appetizer of a breaded chicken Sandwitch was OK, the hummus left a lot to be desired.

I will give it another try after they have run the place for a few months and hopefully improved.

Within a couple minutes they provided a complimentary mango lassi for our toddler because he was on and off fussy, which was very kind of them! We ordered the following: - Hakka noodles with chicken - 4/5, noodles should be thicker imo - Chicken kadai - 5/5 great flavor - Rogan Josh - 5/5, probably my favorite in the burbs so far - Tandoori chicken - 5/5 great flavor - Chicken tikka - 5/5, in general not my favorite fish but my toddler was destroying these - Chicken kebab - 5/5, I think it was chicken but not positive. Either way one of my fav dishes in general - daal makhani - 4/5, tasted good but normally not a fan Most of the above came with the chefs dinner special, I forgot what it was called - but it cost $28 for 1 person and it was a good spread! Fed two people more like it. Nice decor and ambiance, I would recommend you eat here!

It's a take-out place so be aware of that, there was ample parking with "restaurant only" pickup parking right in front of their door. I ordered online directly from their primary order website and got the butter chicken, naan, rice, and three potato samosas. This place is SO GOOD, the samosas was crispy and honestly HUGE which I was pleasantly surprised with. The butter chicken was savory with a nice spice to it. I am only giving it 4 stars since it hasn't beat my top top ever favorite Indian restaurant (in Chicago), but I'm so glad I've found this one since it seems to be one of the best in the west suburbs!
