We got a table right away and ordered a vegetable samosa, something we love. It came out right away and it was so delicious. They were brought out with some sauces that elevated your plate. The samosa was a bit spicy but the many flavors paired so well together. For dinner I got the chicken tikka masala and my boyfriend got the butter chicken. We added the garlic naan and rice to our plate. The chicken tikka masala was very delicious. You can taste all the different spices in the dish. I love garlic and the garlic naan did not disappoint. It has such a great garlic taste and it was perfect for dipping in here masala sauce. The butter chicken was so buttery. It tasted very similarly to the chicken tikka masala though. Not pictured was our mango lassi. My boyfriend ordered it for us and in was pleasantly surprised. It's like a mango yogurt drink. It has a velvety texture and it was very flavorful. I would definitely get it again. Ultimately, I'd love to come back and try other items in the menu.

They have a decent variety of options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Overall, the food taste was average.

The second you want in, you're immediately greeted and given the option to sit at a traditional Indian seat, booth, or table. I love how authentic the ambiance looked right off the bat, and you can tell it was well kept. We got the Maharaj Mix Grill for 2, and it was a ton of food for two people. The butter chicken and naan paired so well together, and it tasted even better with the rice. Additionally, the grilled meats were cooked to perfection and seasoned so well! I loved how flavorful the chicken and lamb were that I couldn't stop eating it. There was so much food that we had to take the rest to-go. The service was not bad. They made sure to fill our waters when they got empty and brought out the food very quick. The only con was that the waitress seemed very monotone and didn't really seem interested in serving us. Not a big deal though! Definitely try out this gem in downtown Chicago. You won't leave hungry!

He was apologetic however, it was just...yea service had an off day. I ordered the chicken tikka and butter nan we were given complementary basmati rice because of the long way to get water... the chicken tikka was DELICIOUS. Full of flavor the chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned. The butter nan was BLESSED. I could've ate the nan and tikka sauce alone. When you order the rice does not come with the meal. It's basically à la cart. For the food 5/5 stars. But over all 4/5.

It's like you went to your Indian friend's house for dinner and got infused with delicious authentic culture. Three adults for two meals that made us full for under $80. My husband ate it up and texted me, "That food was good." We have eaten a lot of different kinds of food all over the place, and though the atmosphere of this one isn't what we're used to, the food surpassed the quality and taste of what we've eaten in restaurants on Devon Street over the years. You should try it! We had the Dal, Goat Biryani, Butter Chicken (a must try), curry beef, and we had some samosas. I would pass on the samosas, but the rest of it was spectacular. I'm tempted to go back there and try the delicious tandoori chicken and get more Dal and multiple Biryani dishes.

I'm sure those will go fast. Very large space with open seating to find a place to sit and enjoy. Very inviting and welcoming. Big bar at the entrance. Elegant and chill overall feeling. Not a basic cafe, an elevated feeling.

The Bhoomi Burger far exceeded all expectations! Believe it or not, the only thing this nitpicker…read morecan find fault with is that the burger was a little messy to eat - but that's to be expected. More on that later. I find most fast-casual burger places make something decent, and some make hockey pucks. Meanwhile, this one is leaps and bounds above the rest. The lamb patty on its own was not only soft and well-seasoned, but also brimming with flavor. Then I took a bite of the whole thing and temporarily bounced up to food heaven. The herbaceous, savory, and earthy notes of their chimmichutney took the burger to another level. The veggies added some additional freshness, with the avocado and mayo contributing even more savory notes. Big bonus points for a fresh bun, too! On messiness: The container was small enough that I could barely slide my hands in to grab the burger. This, combined with the somewhat slippery chimmichutney, meant that keeping the burger together was a difficult and losing battle. No worries - less chimmichutney would mean less flavor, and I have no issues eating anything (burgers included) with a fork. Simply, I'd hope Bhoomi Modern Indian Grill considers larger containers for these... otherwise, don't upset the balance! Finally, credit to the service for being kind, friendly, and giving me something hot and fresh after about five minutes! Thus, Bhoomi Burger quickly earned a spot on my favorites. The whole experience was all-around fantastic, and I can't wait to bring all my friends here.

My favorite was actually the saag paneer (spinach cheese) dish. It goes really well with the papadum. I also really liked the daal makhani. They had tandoori chicken, chicken korma and chicken tikka masala. The sauces were really good but the tandoori chicken was a bit dry. They come out with fresh buttered naan once a few minutes after you get your table. There were plenty of seats and it was clean inside. I remember it being pretty quiet. I was surprised it wasn't super populated when we went around 1pm on a Sunday, which was great. I'd definitely come back here, it's a great price and great variety of food for their weekend lunch buffet. I left feeling super full and happy.

The lamb vindaloo was my absolute favorite last time, but this time didn't compare. The flavor was good but it seemed like the whole pot of lamb vindaloo wasn't made fresh. The dish came out lukewarm and the lamb wasn't that tender. Last time the presentation was also phenomenal, but everything was lacking this time. I'm guessing since it was a Monday it was just an off day for them, but I'll give them another try soon since this was one of my fav Indian restaurants in Chi. Hope their quality will get a bit better!
