This is the best Indian restaurant in IL. They have the most delicious food! I have tried at least…read morehalf of their large menu of options and have not been disappointed even once. My absolute favorite dishes that are a MUST TRY are Chef Sumit Rawat's Tandoori items including Afgani Kebabs, Aachari Tangri Kebabs, Paneer Tikka Dry Kebabs, Tandoori Lamb Chops, Tandoori Shrimp, and Tandoori Salmon. That is only a portion of the Tandoori menu, all of the Tandoori items are mouth watering dishes with incredible flavor and succulence. Some of my other favorite dishes from the restaurant are the Kara Kolambu Eggplant, Methi Chicken, and Butter Chicken Masala. They also have a large bar with great specialty drinks. They have something for everyone for sure! Their naans are delicious especially the garlic and gongura naan. The appetizers are all tasty and my favorites are all of the Gobi appetizers, Chilli Parotta, any of the chicken/shrimp 65s, any of the Manchurians, and the Ginger Chicken. Must try desserts are the rasmalai, and the rabdi ka jamun. The atmosphere, ambiance, food and drinks make it one of the top places to meet with friends and loved ones, whether it's just two of you or a larger party of people (they also do VIP groups if you want to celebrate a special occasion there)! Sometimes they even have club nights where they play music of a theme for a night such as (R&B/Rap/Pop, South Indian & Bollywood, Latina Nights). They have special lighting and sound systems for these events. Keep an eye out for these invents for a great time (they usually advertise them on social media)! All in all, you must try the full experience that is Bloom Bawarchi! You will be addicted and make it a weekly staple for sure.

It is a family-owned restaurant, and we respect their business and support local businesses in Peoria. However, the server could have shown more friendliness. He did not seem polite.

However, when I took pictures of our food, they started becoming friendly. "get the hint" We hope their business do well. Danny the chef was friendly as we were leaving he was busy cooking

Chicken slider was too much, the chicken did not fit the bread or visa versa. The tender was served very hot, which was nice, much rather have something served hot rather than cold.

Not sure if I would go back, the flavor being delivered via a dusting might not be my cup of tea.

Salaam, everyone!…read more Mention anything Middle Eastern and my friend gets excited. She loves her culture and where she comes from so she gets excited to have meals that are close to home for her. We've talked about trying Jenin Village for awhile but life finds a way to keep everyone busy. But we got lucky and our schedules lined up and we dropped in on a chilly Wednesday afternoon. I told her that she may have to explain some of the menu to me. As culturally diverse as Peoria is, there doesn't seem to be nearly as many Middle Eastern restaurants to try as there are Mexican, Italian, and Chinese... so my knowledge of them is iffy at best. We walked in to an empty restaurant (possible missing the lunch rush) and were quickly seated. I had the pleasure of having the sun in my eyes so I fidgeted with the blinds until I could see properly and stop fidgeting in my seat. Ivonne took the time to explain a few of the menu offerings and what things would taste like. She said she would get super mad if I ordered a burger. Thankfully I was fully on-board for trying something new. That new thing was Beef Shawarma. Ivonne got a mixed platter of their meats that was basically a 3-meat kabob meal. She said the offerings were large and I said I was hungry but boy, did it look like a challenge once the food was placed in front of us. The wait was a bit longer than usual for the restaurant but I assume that is from them cooking everything to order. My first few bites were confusing. It being middle eastern food, I was expecting it to have some spice... some kick... some pizzah (is that how you spell that?). This was 180 the other direction. This was sweet. Like, nutmeg sweet. Once my mind wrapped itself around the idea of sweet meat and rice, I was fully on board. The rice was long grain which was new for me to try. I asked Ivonne if I am supposed to mix the rice and beef together and she said it's however you want. So, I alternated bites of them together and them separate. I didn't have a preference on how I ate it cause it was delicious either way. Ivonne let me try her pita bread and dip and that was also confusing at first. The hummus dip made me think of peanut butter due to the texture but after I was halfway through the pita bread, I was starting to appreciate the flavor and texture. We also ordered water with our meals and that came out in bottled water. Not sure if that's normal here but something to note if you are thirsty. They may charge for additional bottles if you are feeling like a camel? The interior was nice, clean yet somewhat sparse. I am used to ethnic restaurants taking pride in their culture and adorning the walls with things that evoke the feeling of their country. Jenin does the complete opposite and keeps it plain. While it would've been nice to see some Middle Eastern stuff hanging up, it doesn't detract from how the food tastes at all. This isn't the first Middle Eastern place I've ate at and it won't be the last. Ivonne told me about all the places in the Peoria area and we are going to try and visit them all starting in 2024, adulting be damned!
