    Yummy!! My husband made a reservation on NYE. Parking on Grand Ave. is hit or miss. It was a miss on our night so we looped around to a side street which is a good reminder to factor in a little extra time as there is no designated parking lot. Upon arrival, the restaurant is tucked inside a medium size shopping mall with a nail salon and a few other shops. I'm not knocking stars for this, however, the carpet and wall painting could use a refresh. Contrary, the rest of the decor felt very polished to us. The staff was attentive, got us seated promptly with the reservation and had water poured almost immediately after sitting down. To start, we ordered the warm chai. It was delicious and had just the right amount of spice. If you are looking for it to be more sweet, you can add sugar packets to it. My husband and I enjoyed it as is. For our starter, we had the garlic naan bread which was fresh and seasoned perfectly. It came with a green and brown sauce - both very good. For our main dishes, we both got chicken masala. My husband had medium spice and I had none. The presentation was beautiful arriving in silver dishes and spaced out time wise nicely from the garlic naan. We enjoyed the garlic naan so much that we ordered another round of it. Mistake our not, we could barely eat it when it arrived as we were full yet had a nice dish of leftovers to take home. We both reheated our meal on New Year's Day and the quality of freshness still existed. We look forward to returning! Thank you!!

    Lunch buffet is back. They have a few meat and vegetarian options and 3 carb options (rice and naan.) I thought it was reasonably priced ($18) for the lunch buffet. The naan was a little stale. The butter chicken is MN spicy.

    I was craving Ethiopian food and knew that while I was in Minneapolis I had to have it (since…read morethere's a decent Ethiopian presence here). Honestly with so many good options it was difficult to pick a place, but we ended up picking based on what was conveniently on the way from the markets to our hotel, and Agelgil had awesome reviews. We stepped into a very authentic-seeming restaurant space. There was a lot of seating, some cool, colorful lighting, and a warm fireplace. There were several locals dining in (we looked like the only tourists). The menu was pretty extensive. I knew I wanted variety so I debated between the Veggie & Meat Combo vs. Agelgil (pretty much meat only combo). We asked our server for her recommendation. She mentioned that the latter had way more meat and food in general (for only $10 more). Since we were super hungry, we went with that one (the Agelgil; serving 3-4). The portions were indeed very generous. The food came out so quickly and tasted delicious. There was so much flavor in the meat. Everything was amazing, including the Injera. We had enough leftovers for another full meal the next day. That said, the Agelgil only had one veggie and one lentil option on the platter. I wished there was more to balance out the heaviness of so much meat. Next time I'm in Minneapolis, I would definitely order the Veggie & Meat Combo (which I hear many other reviewers mentioning). The service was friendly and helpful. The ambiance is pretty casual. I definitely recommend trying Agelgil and I'm looking forward to being back!

As a vegetarian, I was in heaven at the number of items that I could choose from. Thankfully, my companions were all willing to split dishes, so I could try more than one. We started out with the lentil green onion pancakes. They were don't earth than I had expected. I thought they would be more of a super crispy flat dish, but they have the substance of a real pancake, with savory flavors. Really wonderful. We ordered three entrées, including the jackfruit and the eggplant. The jackfruit was my absolute favorite, but that was not universal. I think it was very well well prepared, but not everyone likes jackfruit and not everyone loves those spices. But it made me so happy. The eggplant dish was pretty good, but the potato two eggplant ratio could be improved. A few too many potatoes and not enough eggplant. Otherwise excellent. The service was fine. The owner did come over and say hello to us afterwards and he was delightful. Another excellent immigrant owned business to support in Minneapolis.

    I was born and raised in South India, so know some things about that cuisine, and in particular…read moreabout the food from the Madurai area, which seems related to what's served here. Indeed, there's a lively and popular chain called Kumar Mess in Madurai; maybe related. I've tried at least two of their locations around Madurai. I find the food at the Apple Valley location mostly good, especially if served right out of the kitchen. I'm generally un-thrilled with buffets anywhere and haven't tried the Kumar's version. I could be wrong, but running a good buffet takes more effort and planning than the apparently very small staff at Kumar's can probably manage, so I order from the menu. I find the Chettinad chicken curry very good; hence my rating. My companions always like the various dosa and uthappam dishes and the samosa and pakora appetizers. I like vada (served as an appetizer) if it's fresh and not dried out; that varies at every Indian restaurant I've tried. Service is friendly but sometimes agonizingly slow, as I usually see just one server on duty, even in busy-ish evenings.

    We've enjoyed this restaurant in the past, which is why this most recent experience was so…read moredisappointing. It feels like the focus has shifted much more toward the buffet, and the takeout experience has suffered as a result. The online ordering process was confusing because the only pickup times available were 4 PM or 6 PM. We would've loved to eat at 5 PM, as that's usually when we get takeout orders when we eat out. We chose the 4 PM slot, but when I arrived 5 minutes early...the order was already sitting out waiting. That immediately raised concerns about how long it had been sitting there. When I got home, some of the food was much cooler than expected for freshly prepared takeout, which only added to those concerns. I ended up needing to reheat several items as I was afraid from a food safety perspective. The pickup experience itself was also awkward. I stood waiting at the front for about 30 seconds while employees were nearby, but nobody acknowledged me. Eventually someone yelled "hello" from literally across the restaurant. After I responded and said I was there for a pickup order, there was very little communication. They looked at me confused. The employee then walked away and eventually returned with my order. The interaction felt confusing and unwelcoming. I was also disappointed by the portion sizes, especially considering current menu prices. On top of that, there is an additional service fee for online orders, which makes the value feel even worse. Overall, this visit left us feeling like the restaurant isn't prioritizing its takeout customers the way it used to. Between the confusing pickup process, concerns about how long the food sat before pickup, smaller portions, and added fees, were hesitant to order takeout here again. It's sad, because if you look at my previous reviews of this place, I use to enjoy it.
