The atmosphere strikes a great balance, and is fitting for both a casual dinner and a night out. What really stood out was the service. The staff was attentive and genuinely kind. They pulled off something that's much harder than it sounds, seating a party of 11 together on a Friday night without missing a beat. That kind of flexibility and hospitality is rare and appreciated. If you're in the Champaign area and looking for really great Indian cuisine, Naya is an easy recommendation.

The dish is a little spicy by itself. The Biryanis take a little longer and looked great. The Chicken in the Biryani was fried which surprised me a little. The Mutton Dum Biryani was spicier, so I had the yogurt sauce that came with it. 3 dishes for 3 people and we took about half of the leftovers home. The price is good value for students.

Mirsung is given representation mostly as a grocery store (at least according to its listing on…read moreYelp), but several months ago, it annexed a modest, "fast food" cafe next door to the grocery. Frankly, the purpose of my visits have been to pick up prepared lunches, not groceries, so I can't really comment on the latter. Like other Indian restaurants in town (except for the Bombay Grill on First Street), this place is mostly a greasy lunch counter for college kids. There are a few tables for anyone who wants to eat there, and while the space is brightly-lit by large shopfront windows, the decorations are sparse and uninspiring. However, don't be deterred by general criticisms on the restaurant's interior. Mirsung probably has the best deal on Indian food in Champaign. When you walk up to the front counter, you'll see a food-laden hot bar, along with a white-board listing the daily menu and prices. If you're not familiar with Indian food, this might be a good way to try it out, as you can just pick out dishes that are visually appealing to you. Each day, Mirsung serves 2 vegetarian entrees, 2 meat entrees, a special rice dish, soup, appetizers (including samosas), and DOSAS! The combination meals are around $7 to $9 (depending on whether you order meat or vegetable entrees), which is quite reasonable as your take-out containers will be bulking with food when you leave. Most of the food you receive will be rice, a contentious point for most diners (who prefer more meat for their money), but given the spiciness and richness of many Indian dishes, I usually like having more rice. If this is indeed an issue for you, I would recommend ordering the daily special rice instead of plain basmati rice, which costs $1 more per combo plate, but can easily serve as a meal by itself. I've had good experiences with the special rice dishes, including the lemon rice, tamarind rice, and chicken biryani. These rice dishes are flavored generously with spices, mustard seeds, and fresh curry leaves. I like the sauces on most of the entrees, including the chicken tikka masala, chicken vindaloo, and okra masala. The only real complaint I have regarding food is that the paneer has been a bit tough when I've had it in the past. Mirsung is located a pleasant distance from the busiest part of Green Street, which means: (1) free parking is available, and (2) you won't feel that you're trapped in some hellish war between pedestrians and traffic. Students shouldn't be discouraged from stopping by, though, as it is still an easy walk from the campus neighborhoods on First Street.

I understand the optics of a solo white man asking that, but I clarified that I wanted real heat and it was confirmed by the server. Unfortunately, when my order arrived it was beyond mild. I had three people with a minimal spice tolerance taste it and they could not feel anything. I was beyond disappointed and quite upset. The flavor was ok but my order was not what I asked for. I really wanted to enjoy this place, but they provided nothing I asked for after reassurance that they would. If you want milk flavored chicken, this is your joint. If you want real flavor, or God forbid some actual heat, look elsewhere (not sure where, if you know, please inform).

Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention, but if you were to ask me to name a place that could…read moregive you a unique Thai experience, I would think of Siam Terrace. I think many Thai places are very similar, standard noodle and curry options with the same meat choices. I found that Siam Terrace has some really neat options that I normally do not see in my local Thai spots, and they do a great job with the food as well! First and foremost, Siam Terrace does the basics correct. What I mean is that their noodles can always be an option if you need something simple. Normally I am not a Pad Thai person, I prefer the spice of the Pad See Ew instead, but I decided to get it here and it was outstanding. Noodles weren't too sticky, all the sour, sweet and salty elements were there, and it was super filling and affordable! They have so many different options, I imagine they are all fantastic! The item I ordered that I don't see often elsewhere is their duck curry. Although it is a red curry, there are enough sweet elements to balance the blaze of the curry. The duck itself is tender and flavorful and they certainly don't skimp on the amount of duck you receive! Paired with rice, it is a really great dish. Another underrated aspect of the restaurant is that it is so accommodating to various diets. They have so many vegetarian friendly options, including said duck dishes! I can always stand behind a solid restaurant that serves all!
