I was also given a cup of chai tea and a couple samples while I waited for my food.

It's still the best Indian cuisine in Bloomington…read more Took friends this evening; great food. Oddly, service was yawning at best, and it wasn't crowded. We've also noticed that the carryout portions are larger than the dining portions, all the way around (naan is the same size). It was great; we sat outdoors, and paid cash, because there is a discount. Yeah, we save dimes where we can-- they add up. Tough to go wrong here.

This updated review is still mostly based on the buffet. I've been to the buffet a handful of…read moretimes, and gotten dinner service once. It's not bad food, and some of the items are great, but particularly on my most recent buffet trip, I felt like the curries were the most Midwesterenized take on Indian food you can get, like they've had the pizazz sucked out of them. Out of all the curries on the Sunday buffet, the only ones that really satisfied my craving were the malai soya chaap (this one was great, with big, tender pieces of chaap and a rich gravy) and the saag paneer (theirs is not like any other version of the dish that I've had, but I've come to like it for what it is). The rest of the curries (and this goes for other visits too) were just very stewlike, and the gravy on the shahi paneer was the thinnest I've ever seen. Aside from the underwhelming curries, the other buffet food was fine, but nothing else stood out. I've only tried the saag choley and chai a la carte. Again, the saag dish had kind of an nontraditional texture, but it was good. I ordered spicy and got way more flavour than you get out of any of the buffet dishes. Someone in my group ordered the chili cheese naan, and I didn't have any, but it looked delicious and he said it was great. The a la carte chai was also slightly better than the buffet chai, a little richer. The buffet chai didn't do much for me, but I'd get the a la carte chai again. The pros of the buffet are that you get to try a large variety of comforting dishes for a very good price: $15 with card or $14 with cash. It's very vegetarian-friendly with a wide variety of veg dishes. If possible, go for the Sunday buffet, which is the same price but includes a slightly expanded food selection and drinks (mango lassi and chai). The waiters are polite and keep the buffet stocked. The cons are that it can be very crowded inside (but the patio is more comfortable when weather allows) and the Midwesternness of it. But if you have unadventurous eaters, it might work for them. The place is very popular so evidently it's working for someone. Dinner service is a little better but I still don't think this is the place for very authentic Indian.

Incredible experience. Do not leave town without trying this place. We needed help ordering, but…read morethe product was superb. Ordered the 10" small hand tossed Chicken Curry pizza . Cooked perfectly and spiced just right for us. Suggest you stay away from medium or hot until you get the lay of the land. Pizza had a cream curry sauce, onions, olives, scallions, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, spiced chicken and topped with fresh cilantro. Marvelous, absolutely marvelous. Highly recommend without any reservations. Restaurant is on the small side, but very clean and nice jazz background music. 5+ experience.

My immediate thought was, "Pizza and curry? What an interesting combination."…read more Oh man. The Three Idiots pizza - my goodness. This isn't your normal chicken on a pizza, the spices and flavors this pulls out is an absolute knockout. I don't even want to explore the menu after that - if all I ever eat is this, I'm good. The food is the highlight here - it's open seating while you wait and while you eat, there isn't a ton of seating (but it wasn't busy when we were there), or takeout is an option. But decor wise it's nothing spectacular - and it doesn't need to be.

It's creamy, the chicken is tender and juicy and the flavors are just divine. The naan is soft and perfect for sauce sopping! We called our order in and the process was quick and easy.

The butter chicken was very good and I liked the fact that the rice that came with the butter chicken was not heavily spiced.

I also got gulab jamon and a mango lassi to go, and I thought the bill was pretty reasonable, and certainly competitive with other similar restaurants nearby.

Indian food and Chicago-style pizza fusion? What an amazing concept! I love Indian food, so rushed…read moreover to try. When you walk in to the tidy little restaurant, the aroma of Indian curries is intoxicating. The menu options were vast. You can order Indian food, Chicago-style pizza or Indian favorites as pizza toppings. The clerk was friendly. We ordered a small Chicken Tikka Masala pizza to go. It took about 15 minutes to come out in a box. It was hard not to rip open the box and dig-in. The pizza smelled so good. And it was delicious. The Indian spices took pizza to a whole new level. The masala sauce covered the pizza with bits of chicken. If you like Indian food, you'll like this. A small pizza is enough for two people. I can't wait to try their other combinations. The restaurant is located across from Edinburgh Outlet Mall in suite next to a Shell Station. There is parking on the side. There is a drive up window as well. They have a dining room that is comfortable and simple. They serve beer and the mango lassi looked tempting. I'll be back.

This place serves, pasta, salads, Indian food, traditional pizza and Indian-inspired pizza. They have bottle drinks and beer to wash your food down. There is also a fountain soda machine there, but half of its drinks were out during my visit. They have an adequate dining area with booths. There is a restroom available for customers. The woman that was working the counter was friendly, helpful and patient. In other words she was awesome. I ended up ordering a half Tandoori Chicken Pizza and half Butter Chicken. My pie was made fresh and it took them about 15 minutes to prepare. It was fresh, hot and delicious. It was very tasty. This place has some very unique pies, that are very flavorful. Depending on the sauce you choose, it can have a little kick to it. Do not let the restaurants location or appearance turn you off. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Orders were mainstream, Malai Kofta, Mushroom Saag, Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka. A side order of vegetable pakora was really good. The Malai Kofta, usually a brown curry with kofta balls, was instead, an orange curry; my partner said it was fine, if different than most we've tried. My Mushroom Saag was five stars. The other diners like their offerings. Food came quickly, an amazing feat given the sheer traffic and line waiting. And there came the only rub. They were a bit insistent about getting our plates and flipping our table. Didn't feel good. No, we weren't dawdling, just getting rushed. Bad idea, and cost them a star. We're happy they've improved from our prior experiences. They were once our go-to Indian Food in Bloomington, then fell from grace. They're improving. They need to take a chill pill, however. Grace under pressure is a desirable skill.

If you are reading reviews, ignore older ones as they may apply to an earlier restaurant. I ordered take-out using an online app. Ordering was easy and the food was ready when I arrived. We started with the appetizer platter. Some were better than others, but the point of getting the platter was to see what we liked best. We shared a lamb with chickpea dinner and liked it very much. It came with rice and bread and 3 small portions of toppings. I also ordered the raita and a second kind of bread. One bread would have sufficed. We had a little of everything left over for lunch another day. We'll order from here again.

I decided to try something new and ordered the Saag Bhartha which is eggplant in the familiar spinach sauce. The eggplant is cooked down so the dish is creamy and rich; it was very flavorful and a spice level of 3 was perfect for me. It had some heat but didn't result in a burning mouth. The garlic naan was delicious and the basmati rice that came with the entree was perfectly cooked. The serving size was very generous and I enjoyed the leftovers for dinner the next night. I definitely want to try more items on their menu and see some takeout orders in my future. Service was good, and the atmosphere was quiet and perfect for catching up with a friend.
