I love this place! I seriously cant get enough of their MOTI MOMOS. I can munch on them all day! Just a heads up that order takes awhile to come out coz they make em when u order them. I need to try more stuff on the menu but i cant resist ordering my momos when im there. Lol This is also beside a La Michoacana so you can also get your sweet tooth fix at the same time. Unfortunately i forgot to take a pic of my momos. But definitely when i go back! Happy eating!

Moti & La Michoacana Brace yourself for some SERIOUS flavors at Moti and La Michoacana in Glenview! I am not kidding when I say these dishes are exciting and so favorable!! Delicious just doesn't cut it. Food Served: Chicken Tikka Pizza Korean BBQ Taco Samosa Smash Taco Butter Masala Taco Fries (with seasoning and sides of sauces) Makhani (Butter) Masala Curry A rich, sweet and buttery curry with your choice of marinated protein. Comes with a side of white rice. This was the absolute star of the show!! My husband and I both LOVED this dish. Everything about it was a hit. From the delicious sauce, to the perfectly cooked white rice, and the warm pita to hold it all together - this is definitely a dish I'll be returning for again! @moti.michoacana Drinks Served: Mango Lassi Rose Lassi Hibiscus Horchata Both Lassi drinks were made fresh in-house!! They were creamy, but refreshing and tasted exactly like they were labeled. They hit the spot with the succulent variety of food and flavors. The rose was had the perfect amount of rose flavoring. I would happily drink either one of these again!! The horchata and hibiscus drinks were both very yummy too! I enjoyed these a lot and they were nice to have in addition to the creamy lassi drinks. And just when you thought it couldn't get better, there is a full section of the shop dedicated to ice cream and other frozen delights! The Coffee and Cookie Monster flavors were so creamy and enjoyable to eat. I also tried the Chocolate (my husband's choice) and that was absolutely perfect too. You really can't go wrong with Coffee or Chocolate anytime in my opinion, but sometimes but need a little Cookie Monster for your inner child I had the pleasure of meeting Moti's owner, Michelle, and she was so kind and informative about everything she was serving us! The booths were huge! I loved the pink and green theme!! I cannot wait to visit again!!

I knew we would be ordering from here again. We got two pizzas the Buffalo chicken and Korean BBQ. Both were good but I wish there was more Buffalo sauce. Fast service and we go it to go. I'm sure we will be back we have so much to try.

We had always walked by this restaurant, but never thought about going in until I saw a Yelp Elite friend review pop up. Parking is a bit challenging in this strip mall, especially during a lunch time hour so expect to walk a little bit. Going in we were surprised to see the very reasonable prices for lunch. We had to ring the bell for assistance, but that gave us more time to decide upon what we wanted to order. We ended up trying one of each of the tacos (four of them) and kimchi fries. No fancy plating, you pick up your own paper plate and plastic utensils. You also just get your own water out of a water jug, but it's all good - I definitely don't mind the self serve. Everything we had was very tasty and very filling. The Korean taco was a little bit too salty for my preference but my husband enjoyed it, my favorite was definitely the samosa taco (wished I had a second one!). The Kimchi fries were an interesting take and very filling... but definitely hard to stop eating those once you start. Easy ordering and nice friendly counter attendant. What a great surprise and we'll definitely be stopping by again!

I've been waiting on my review for Moti... I've been there a total of 3 times and I wanted to mix up the experience! Moti is like, snack casual. It's the perfect portion on your way to the party... or just coming out of one. It's counter service and the tables/booths are pastel cute and the whole environment is clean and tidy. I haven't had the opportunity to hit their lunch menu yet, but the pricing looks very competitive! Fusion is their thing - mixing Indian flavors on to different food mediums, like pizzas, tacos, dumplins, fries, etc. The flavors are all cranked to 11 - each bite sneaking yet another taste onto your palate. There's also a lot of variety so there's sure to be a flavor that'll appeal to everyone. I do like this place, but the flavors are a lot - we are bridging the divide between fusion cuisine and chaos menu.

Located in a very busy center where parking can be limited. Went on a Saturday for lunch and surprisingly we were the only people in the place. The staff is very friendly and offers explanations on the various food flavors. I ordered the Firecracker Masala Pizza which had Tikka Masala sauce ,cheese,jalapenos and Moti Firecracker sauce. I chose chicken as my protein. The thin crust was cooked to perfection but I would have liked more chicken and less jalapenos as they overpowered the overall taste. The sauces reminded me of a sweet chili sauce. My wife ordered a customized bowl since she needed gluten free. Again very tasting and fresh . Everything blended very well They also offer various Indian Street snacks and Momo's. The inside offers lots of seating in a very bright atmosphere. For flavorful Indian foods,Moti Cafe is the place to go.

You will not regret Indian food on a taco! Moti takes traditional Asian flavors and puts them on a pizza or a taco. It's unique and delicious! Three tacos was more than I was able to eat for lunch. (I ate two.) But if you order the three tacos, you can get them in three different flavors. The Korean beef taco is my favorite, but they're all really good, so it's worth trying as many as you can. The atmosphere is fresh and modern, not to mention it's in/attached to a La Michoacana, so there are a lot of options for dessert on your way out. Service has been excellent both times we've been here.

So the last time I came, they didn't have the Momo's. They area steamed dumpling and come is a variety of different preparations. I chose the sweet chili Momo's. It's a dumpling (chicken or veggie) drizzled with sweet chili sauce and topped with green peppers, onions and crispy onions. I also ordered my go to samosa pizza served on naan bread. So so so good. The service is pretty good as everything is made to order. The only gripe I may have is that the servers for the Moti side are the same as the ones for the La Michoacana ice cream side so if there's a massive desire for ice cream on a hot day, service fo4 the Moti side won't be as quick. Regardless, I love this place and the choices they offer. It's a great addition to the neighborhood and love how they keep on changing things up so the menu is never stagnant. As always, there's ample dining area so if you're thinking coming with a larger group, it should be too much of an issue to get your group situated

This was a good stop. The place is open late, and you can tell everything is cooked to order. The staff was efficient and to the point. While I wouldn't say friendly, my partner asked about music and they played disco for her. The food came out fast and hot. The favors are exciting and imaginative. I probably wouldn't g get the fries to go, but I would definitely eat here again. If you haven't tried them out yet, you're definitely missing out!

Stopped by for an early dinner on Sunday afternoon and the parking lot was packed due to the buzz of nearby businesses but when I walked in I was greeted with a friendly smile. She was able to walk me through the menu and make suggestions for me to try. I ended up ordering the Korean bbq pizza and three tacos. The Korean bbq taco, tikka masala taco and the samosa smack taco. Can't forget the mango lassi to wrap it all up! The interior was filled with vibrant colors of blues pinks and yellows with color changing lights. There was plenty of seat options including booths and tables. The Korean bbq pizza had an incredible crust and the sauce was where all the flavors come in. From the sweetness of the caramelized onions with a light kick from the sauce each bite was super flavorful and made you want to pick up another slice. The Korean bbq taco was no different, except in taco form there was rice in replacement of the crust. Which actually ended up being my favorite taco because it had the crispy onions on to for the extra crunch. The tikka masala taco came with a firey punch (mainly because I'm sensitive to heat) but the sauce on top really tied it all together. The last taco was the samosa smash, this was my 2nd favorite taco.. the best way I can describe the taco is like a falafel flavor but better! The smoothness but also crunch with the taco was delicious. Don't debate the mango lassi, just get it! You certainly won't regret it! It's perfect to wrap up a meal and the blend of creamy and sweet made getting to the end of the cup so sad! Can't wait to come back and try out more of the menu soon!

Yummy food with fresh ingredients. Had a lot of options so definitely want to go back and try the tikka pizza. Just wish the food was a little warmer but overall good experience.

Great tasting Indian fusion cuisine. I've tried Moti earlier before on a sampler of their dishes on a yelp event. I came away quite impressed with the food and was eager to bring the rest of the family to try the food. My kids are really into Indian cuisine and this was a format that they're familiar with, pizza, tacos and dumplings. I asked about the spice level as their menu had a chili pepper on fire to denote that the fish is particularly spicy. Apparently the other dishes are to be "mild". If you have any aversion to spice...be careful. We only ordered non-fire chili pepper menu items and two of the three were without a doubt a decent level of heat. My kids could handle some spice maybe a level 1, so I ordered with the thought that mild was actually a bit spicy. The only dish without heat and what I would call mild was the 'plain momo's. Samosa smash was a good topping for the pizza. It has all the flavor you'd expect in a samosa including the green chutney. I think the chutney is where the heat actually was (hard to tell after a few bites). For myself it was a good level of heat. The momo's is like Xiao long bao, apparently it had some soup according to my kiddies and they proceeded to drink it like a Xiao long bao. By far their favorite fish and I would say that it was my favorite as well. The Tikka taco was hefty, very considerable. I think I'd definitely be full on just two of these. Good flavor, classic tikka but the spice level was again a bit high. We arriving in about 5pm on a Sunday, not too busy. When the pizza arrived they had a pizza stand that occupied a good amount of space, I was trying to help clear the table of the momo platter but the server just left without taking the finished platter. If that was the expectation, should have just picked up the pizza at the counter and bring it over myself I thought. I really like Moti's food. Just think they could polish up the service and perhaps put a heat level chart on the menu vs just the fire chili pepper icons. If someone was to actually ask about spice level I'd hope the kitchen would be able to adjust - or maybe not, and I'd say not too much kid friendly spice levels.

My wife came across this restaurant while performing a search on Yelp and informed me about it. So, for Super Bowl Sunday, I did a dinner takeout from here as I wanted to try their Indian-style pizza. I ordered a 12" Chicken Tikka pizza to go. Their Chicken Tikka pizza is made with Tikka base sauce, green peppers, onions, mozzarella, garlic seasoning, Moti & Cilantro Lime sauces. They have other varieties of pizza as well (e.g., Paneer Tikka, Korean Bulgogi, Elotes, etc.). Their pizzas come in two sizes - a personal Naan pizza and a 12" pizza. The pizza was flavorful and delicious. My wife and I enjoyed it. They had given a couple of sauces to go with the pizza (kind of like Sarpino's) which were good too (I forget what kind of sauces they were). The sauces complemented the taste of the pizza. The pizza had a good kick to it. I liked it a lot. Moti also has other eats on their menu like fusion tacos (the same variety as their pizzas), loaded fries, samosa chaat, etc and they also serve La Michocana ice cream. When I went to pick up my pizza, the restaurant was busy. The dining area was packed. That was a good sight. I like it when restaurants that serve good food, do well. Based on my experience, I will be going back to Moti Cafe for sure to try their other varieties. I recommend you check them out. It's a nice restaurant with a good menu variety, tasty food, and reasonably priced items.
