    Masaledar Veg Khichdi
    Sharadha R.

    A random spot I came across while searching for Indian vegetarian restaurant. This place is completely vegetarian and gives a cafe style vibe. We came here for lunch and ordered a couple of kichidis, chole kulcha, misal pav and aloo sandwich. We also ordered a couple of drinks. The service was quick. The khala katta was phenomenal and highly recommended. The kichdis were decent. The sandwich and misal pav were also fine. The star item is their chole and kulcha. This is the best I have had in the US. When you visit this place, chole kulcha is a must try item.

    Checked out Makta Khichdi--first U.S. location and it's right here in Chicago! We ordered a bunch of stuff and honestly, everything was good. My favorites were the Italy Touch Sandwich and the Kaju Khichdi--so flavorful and comforting. The biryani was solid too. Also tried the sev puri, kuchi bowl (basically a deconstructed dabeli), vada pav butter, and paneer shaak. My fam said a lot of it tasted like the street food back in India, which says a lot. They've got fun drinks too (non-alcoholic), and the vibe is chill and welcoming. Service was amazing! Definitely a cool spot to check out if you're into Indian street food or just want to try something new!

    Space is small with mutiple 4 /2 seating tables. Service was good. Lady at reception was helpful in recommendation. Wide menu. Jamun shot - 2/5 - Miss fresh taste Vada Pav - 3/5 - vada too small, sweet chutney is not imali based. Anjjeer kaju milkshake- 3/5 Samosa - 5/5 - Mid size but crisp and masal was good Green onion lasuni khichadi - 4/5 - good taste Kaju lasuni khichadi - 5/5 Masala Chaas - 3.5/5 - more masala needed

    There were flies flying around which I find very unhygienic and took almost more than an hour to get my food.

    Great khichdi place. Unique menu for an Indian joint - not your usual Punjabi or South Indian food. I would definitely get this again!

Not sure if that was a restaurant issue or a delivery driver issue, but it was annoying. I ordered my goto chicken Tikka masala and Naan. Added an order of Aloo paratha. I appreciate that you have the choice of spice level. I usually order medium but this medium was too spicy for me. The chicken was exceptionally tender though.

Luckily, we pulled up to check and they were open. The decor was very nice, although the sound from the TV might be turned down a bit. Initial service was good, although it took a good deal of time after ordering to get our food. There were not many patrons, so not sure of the delay, although it was obvious that the food, when it did come out, was hot and freshly made. Speaking of food, we both decided to order the Non Veg. Thali, which is a nice assortment of dishes, and includes basmati rice and naan. There was plenty of food in this selection as well, and that food was very good. If you are unsure of what to order, consider this item, as you get a nice variety and good portions. I wish they had a tandoori assortment, including chicken and other tandoor bits, as that is my favorite Indian food, but other than that I think this is one of the better Indian restaurants in the area and well worth a visit.

It's obviously fun to watch, but thankfully there's good food behind the theatrics too. For mains we tried the malai kofta, palak paneer and dal makhni along with jalapeño naan and onion-pine nut pilaf. There's a lot here for vegetarians, which made it easy to order several dishes for the table and share. The restaurant has a polished, energetic ambience, and the tableside presentations make the experience feel more special than a standard Indian dinner. We finished with mango kulfi and an unexpectedly excellent chocolate tart, which may have been the surprise of the night. A fun spot when you want Indian food with a more modern, experience-driven presentation.

Every dish--except the salad--was spot on: authentic, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The chicken inferno was especially memorable, and the portions were generous. My only suggestion would be for the kachumbar salad to have more vibrant colors and fresher flavors--perhaps beets and carrots instead of the very chewy purple cabbage. I didn't try any of the cocktails, but I did have a glass of cava brut, which was served in a white wine glass and was a very generous pour. This place is truly a gem, and I hope they continue to keep the same recipes and portions because they've got something special here. We will definitely be back!

Several items were not refilled in a timely manner, including pani puri, and the restaurant repeatedly ran out of bowls and plates. The rasmalai was also unavailable and appeared to be replaced with fruit salad, which was disappointing. How do you have kadi pakora with no pakora. How do you have dahi vada with no dahi. Ridiculous Service was also poor. No one came by to refill water or check on our table. When naan was served, it was placed into the basket by hand, without gloves or tongs, which felt unsanitary. We were also seated in a corner area that felt more like a warehouse than a dining space. Three people in our group barely ate, yet we were charged $22 per person plus an automatic 18% gratuity for parties over five, which was not clearly communicated upfront. Given the lack of service, that charge felt unreasonable. This restaurant was recommended by a friend, but unfortunately, based on the food quality, service, cleanliness concerns, and overall value, we would not return. Please think twice

Our server was Ricky, who was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and also not rushing our table. We see each other rarely so there was a lot of talking. We were seated and greeted, ordered the chicken 65, the bread basket (all different types of naan), and rice chips came to the table with two different chutneys. The chicken was dynamite and the onion garlic stuffed naan was my favorite. Tough to stop eating when you start with such amazing apps. They ordered butter chicken, and I got the eggplant, which always has been a personal favorite. Here it was beautifully plated, had some heat, and also flavorful as hell. I had to stop eating after a couple pieces because I was heating up massively. The weather was gorgeous so the doors were open. I was dressed for work, so I was blazing hot. We sat and talked for a while, then decided to come back and order desserts and coffee. Mango creme brûlée and the pistachio ice cream looked great. I had a mango smoothie which was refreshing and not too sweet. Ricky told us it wasn't super busy so we could stay, which was very kind of him. I have been exhausted all week, lots of meetings and I'll be flying home tomorrow. But this is definitely a large variety of options for people to find what they like. Thanks to Ricky and the team for a wonderful dinner! Support small businesses!
