My husband was in the area on a Friday evening and we decided to carry out some Indian food which is extremely rare for us since I make pretty decent Indian food. We ordered a whole bunch of food... chicken kheema samosas, butter chicken ( meh ) kheema sabzi, mutton biryani, chicken biryani, shrimp South Indian style and garlic naan. Nothing to make want to order again, kinda disappointed!! read more

We came here for an early dinner over the weekend. The menu doesn't have things you might normally expect from an Indian restaurant but despite that we ordered a paneer makhani and paneer burji dosa. The paneer burji dosa was excellent with well made and seasoned paneer filling. The paneer makhani was fine but the gravy was more tomato heavy and on the sweeter side rather than spiced. Our service was good although it wasn't very crowded when we were there. This is a decent Indian place when you're craving some dosa. read more

Good Indian food in the Lakeview area. We ordered it delivered, so not the fairest comparison. The menu is extensive. Basically, if you've ever had it in an Indian restaurant, you can find it on the menu here! We had the Aloo Gobi Masala and Vegetable Korma. Both were good. They have both roasted and fried papadums, which makes for an interesting comparison. Reasonable prices. read more

We have been looking for an Indian spot in Chicago but haven't been able to find a decent one until now. Good selection of dishes and tasted like Indian restaurants we like in NY and Hong Kong we frequent. We will be coming back as a regular. read more

One of the tastiest tikka masala dishes in the area! Amazing food and service! I highly recommend Mild 2 Spicy!

Great food/service and great vibe! The samosas were amazing. The drinks were delicious!

Came here because I saw it listed as having one of the best dosas in Chicago and was a little disappointed. We ordered the Mysore masala dosa and it was nice and big and crispy and the waitress warned us it would be spicy, but honestly even I couldn't taste the spice (and I'm pretty weak with spice). The paneer Manchurian was a little too sweet for me and the butter chicken was good but tasted very tomatoey. The service was excellent and they had some nice drink specials so I could see coming here for a date or maybe outing with friends, but was definitely much more mild than spicy. read more

Was invited to eat here for a small family birthday dinner. This is the birthday girl's, go to comfort spot, so I was excited to try them for the first time. Family friendly restaurant was able to accommodate a last minute walk in of 6 adults and 2 kids. Beautiful quiet restaurant to be able to sit and chat with everyone. Parking was a little bit off a hassle but to be expected for location & time of day. All the servers were tentative & very patient with us, making us feel very welcomed. The menu gave a great amount of food for their price. With my first time eating Indian food, I did not know what to expect, but I was very excited to try the famous viral recipe, butter chicken. Let me tell you, the butter chicken dish was everything I expected and more! Mixed very well with the butter naam. The baby corn was definitely a 10/10 with all the sauces on side. The tandoori chicken and lamb curry were definitely exploding with new flavors. Can't wait to stop by and explore more menu options. read more

It was a warm and delicious meal after a chilly night out in the city! It was so yummy and the portions were amazing for the price :) Staff was very kind and helpful throughout our visit, we will definitely go back soon! read more

Me and my friends went to this spot and it was INSANELY good. The food was incredible. Definitely will be back with more people! The vibe and ambience of the night was beyond what I was expecting. This is one of the best food places in Chicago! read more

I ordered takeout and I think this place may be my new go-to Indian takeout spot. While it wasn't the best I've had, I thought the dish I ordered tasted good and the portion size was adequate for the price. I'd be back! read more

Love the food! We had butter chicken, shrimp biryani, samosas, and garlic naan! The staff are so friendly too and the vibes are great :)

We have loved ordering from here but lately (as in the last couple of months) there is no more mild option. It says mild when we put in the order but when we get it my mild tastes almost as spicy as my husband's medium. Even he can't can only detect a very slight difference. We even called and reordered once because we thought it must be a mistake, but nope. Got the same thing. This last time my mild was again more medium and my husband's medium was more spicy - his mouth was on fire! I had to update my review just to be clear for those ordering: if you like spicy things, this is a good pick. But if you want mild, I can no longer recommend this as an option. read more

The food was amazing but the thing that really sold the place was the Bollywood movie playing in the background. I watched two guys take on an army on a bridge with nothing but 2 ARs and a dream. The Kofta Curry was also pretty good. read more

Great food and service!! Loved the atmosphere of this place too and they were accomodating

Cute atmosphere and nice food! The service was good and I enjoyed the chana bhatura. Would come here again.

If you like spicy authentic Indian food and if you like mild Indian food this is a great place. Never too busy great for dates and for clients! Great value and service is super! Chicken Biryani and Garlic Naan was terrific. Went there after the Bears game last Sunday with my nephew and his girl friend. The staff and ambiance was just wonderful! read more

the service was very nice and quick. the food was pretty good and the naan was very good. the butter chicken was more tomato-y. the ambiance was nice and the music is not horrible read more

Very warm and cozy! The food was to die for and the service was so good and fast too! Will definitely be coming back in the future

Food was so good. Must try the lentil soup and any of the chicken curries. Service was also really good

Great food! Love the spice! Even though I was not too familiar with the cuisine, I absolutely loved it.

Great quantity and quality of food for the price! The dosa was massive! Split this with my friend along with some naan. Went for brunch and it was very quiet. Inside is a bit dark - more of a date atmosphere. Service was good as well. Will be coming back! read more

I've ordered take out from Mild 2 Spicy twice and the food has been stellar! Prices are very fair, the food is perfectly spiced, and the portions are massive! There are a ton of vegetarian options too. For those who are interested in order delivery, they have their own delivery service that is cheaper than ordering through GrubHub or Uber eats! I'll be ordering here again! read more

Mild 2 Spicy has quickly rose to my favorite spot for Indian cuisine in Chicago. Not only do I believe that they are the best tasting, but they are far more cost effective than most of their competitors, and furthermore, they give you more food. I have tried a few menu options here, but my favorite is their paneer makhani paired with butter naan. I order takeout from here probably twice a week, and sometimes I will go to pick up the food. When I walk in, I am always met with very prompt and friendly service. The only thing that slightly disappoints me here is that they seem to be inconsistent with the size of the naan that they give you. Sometimes, you get two very large slices, and sometimes you get two rather small slices. No big deal, but consistency would be nice so I know if I should order extra or not. Otherwise, again, hands down my favorite Indian food in Chicago. read more

It's been hard to find good, casual Indian food in the city but I finally found it here at Mild 2 Spicy. We ordered Paneer Makhani (comes with basmati rice) and a few garlic naans. The paneer was so fresh and the curry was both creamy and spicy (good spice level if you like spicy food!!). The garlic naans were super fresh, pillowy, & flavorful too! There are a huge variety of options on the menu - great options for vegans (tofu curries are available) and vegetarians as well. I've tried MANY Indian restaurants in the city and let me tell you this is one of the good ones! Needless to say, I will definitely be coming back here and this is likely going to be my new go-to Indian restaurant in the city. read more

Mild 2 Spicy was my go to place to order in Indian food however lately the quality has deteriorated. I recently ordered Dal Makhani with chilly garlic naan and Samosa for dinner. I don't know if the restaurant poorly packed the dishes or the food pick-up driver handled it badly, but when the food was delivered to me, it was all spilled up and messy. Even the food tasted bad and it did not look fresh at all. I ended up throwing most of the food and I don't think I'll be ordering from this place ever again! read more

Our server, Sreekar, was very efficient and friendly. Our party of 4 decided to share the dishes family style. All 4 dishes were fantastic! The chicken and lamb were very tender. The vegetarian dishes were very flavorful. The portions were large and even though we were hungry, we couldn't finish it all. I highly recommend! read more

Our favorite Indian restaurant! We have been coming for years and the staff is wonderful.

The food was good so I would order again but don't think I would dine in. On top of that, the service was pretty below average. I made a few changes on my reservations and received texts so I was under the impression that we only had one under my name. When we went to the counter, the host was rude to us asking why we made two reservations. The place was not busy at all so not sure why they brought it up bc it was just a misunderstanding. I was under the impression that the waitress wanted us to order more and kept asking "is that it?" "Just that?" "do u want to order something to drink?" After we already told her we were good. The waitress definitely was giving us attitude which stinks because the food was rly good but i might give it another shot. read more

I always loved to dine on Indian food. I loved the spices, the curry and of course, the biryani rice! When we walked around Diversey, we found Mild 2 Spicy. So glad we did! First, it has been such a long time since we dined on authentic Indian cuisine. Other places may lay claim as Indian restaurants but they cannot cook it properly. Secondly, I looked at the menu and the Vegetable Biryani costs only $10. That sealed the deal for me. The Vegetable Biryani tasted so aromatic, creamy, a bit spicy, but so delicious. It came with the raita yogurt. The raita balanced out the spices and it did not taste overwhelming. Joseph ordered the chicken biryani. He said it tasted good. We ordered the garlic naan. It tasted divine. We waited for our food for about 15 minutes. But well worth the wait. Mild 2 Spicy did such a good job on preparing the food. The service rated an A. Come to Mild 2 Spicy. Bring friends, family or even a date. read more

I've been trying to find good dosa without having to drive up to Devon, and people said to come here. It just didn't hit the mark. I'll give it another chance, and try dining in (as opposed to the takeout I did). Lived in India for 3 months and always had a mission to try as much food as possible. That is my baseline. The restaurant itself was a positive. Very clean, new-feeling, and friendly staff. Prepared our order quickly, etc. Could tell they effectively ran the operations. For the food - 1. Masala Dosa: (a) super soggy, spongy, and I felt like it lacked flavor in the wrap itself. (b) the filling was a mushy spread. Like how taco bell burritos meld all the filling into 1 color of mix.. It tasted OK, but seemed like a lazy way around filing it. (c) they cut it into 4 pieces. Just wrap the long thing in foil! 2. Paneer Makhani: the paneer pieces were very good, perfect size. However the sauce/curry was like marinara or tomato sauce. Really lacked spices and creamy-ness. 3. Chicken tikka - almost the same as above, too tomato-y. 4. Naan/Chapati - standard. it was good, but hard to mess this up. I'd love to have a Dosa spot near me like this, so we'll try again. But this first go-around really didn't meet expectations. read more

The food was perfect! We enjoyed the shrimp curry and the shrimp we a great size! Great pricing and even better food! Perfect amount of spice! read more

We loved this place! It was our first time here, and we had the best garlic naan that I have ever had.. samosas were great and all of us liked our dishes. Shrimp korma was a standout. Alina was a fantastic server and we will for sure be back! read more

I wish Yelp did 1/2 stars because I'd give them a 3.5/5. Delivery was fast through UberEats, portion sizes are good and I appreciate them wrapping up my mango lassi so it wouldn't leak. The chicken in the butter chicken is really tender, but wish spice levels were higher. I got medium and it's giving mild. I also wasn't super impressed by the plain naan, but it was still soft and chewy. But I see myself ordering from them again and trying more on their menu. read more

This place missed the mark for me. I was so excited about it because I had yet to visit an Indian restaurant in Chicago, and I absolutely adore Indian food. However, it was a slight disappointment for me. We ordered: -baby corn manchurian -chicken korma -masala dosa The baby corn was DELICIOUS!! My favorite thing we ordered by far; we licked this plate clean. The dosa was good -- my first ever dosa, so I didn't have anything to compare it to and I wanted to make sure I started with the most traditional version. It was good, but next time I'd wanna go for something different, maybe a dosa with cheese, because I thought it needed more flavor. The chicken korma was okay, but it was nothing special. I've had much better. Maybe the chicken tikka would have been tastier. read more
