So I asked about their Indian food ... they didn't understand I was asking the region (eventually I got them to say "south") when I asked for details on the menu cuisine type... as I had never been there before. I am more a fan of the seafood from the northern recipes ...like Tandoori shrimp. Admittedly I was killing time until the Michael Blaustein show and doors opened at the Vic... so figured I should grab dinner at some point since coffee and a bagel had been it since 11am. I ordered the equivalent of a spicy giant samosa (Dosa) for $15... its an appetizer. Server took it to mean an entree of Chicken Tikka Masala. Jasmine rice and a giant saucer of sauce. Mediocre.. lots of sauce and about 6 chunks of chicken. Suspect it may have been canned and at $18 not worth it at all. Pretty annoying and underwhelming TBH. They didn't fix it either so no tip and shorted them 4 cents by just leaving $20 cash. Not ever again. Maybe other memu things are better but what the gentrification Belmont. . My old inner goth ass was stomping away... indignant. I can and have made this myself in 10m. So im feeling this was SO not worth it. read more

Rangoli Kabob has excellent Indian food! It always comes out hot and their service is quick with the staff always being very pleasant and accommodating. We always get their Samosa Chaat, Gobi Manchurian, and Keema Samosa to start. If you enjoy some spice, the Samosa Chaat is the way to go. Its flavorful, spicy, and creamy. We also got their Chicken Tikka Masala. They give you a generous amount of food and rice so be prepared to have some leftovers. It's always very clean and beautifully decorated inside, with cute pillows and art. Definitely recommend trying out Rangoli Kabob the next time you're craving Indian food! read more

Swung by Rangoli to grab a quick bite on a Sunday. The ambience was nice and clean. The service was fast too. We ordered some mysore masala dosa and Vada sambar. The Vada was undercooked and hence we requested a replacement. The replacement took ages so we decided to take it togo. Overall, price wise the place was reasonable and the food was delicious except for the undercooked Vada. They even give a platter of different chutneys for the table when you order dosas. read more

We had an excellent experience ordering in from Rangoli. Their malai kofta was possibly the best I've had in decades! The samosa was truly special as everyone else has already mentioned. The Gobi Manchurian was my personal favorite. My husband loved his lamb rogan and chicken kebabs. The food was a generous amount, lasting us more than 2 meals. All the food was flavorful without being spicy, fresh and on-point. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

No real ambiance, but the food was great. Shared the Samosa Chatt, Chana Masala, and a dosa and all were really good. Exceeded expectations! Three adults and two kids at for $100 plus tip and we probably ordered one dish too many. read more

I have always been hesitant of Indian food, but my friend talked me into coming here. I heard of butter chicken, but never had it. I'd like to say this is the best butter chicken I've ever had, but I have nothing to compare it to, but it is freaking delicious! I've been here three times so far and get the butter chicken every time, as I'm scared to try something new, but it is always delicious! I can't remember the name, but the cauliflower appetizer is amazing as well! I was hesitant of the mint sauce, but turned out to be really good. And the garlic naan is awesome! Will definitely be back again and again! Service is good but a bit slow to get the check at the end. read more

The food here was actually pretty good. The dosa was crispy and the lassi was good. The ambiance of the restaurant is relatively nice as well. The reason I'm giving this a 1 star review is because of the absolutely awful service. I went for their Saturday 12-3pm unlimited dosa promotion which they have been promoting online. I arrived at 1pm with a total party of 4. We were seated and then didn't get any service until 25 minutes later when we had to track down a staff member. We then were finally able to order. We didn't get water or drinks until about 45 minutes into being seated. After we ordered our food, we didn't receive it until almost 1.5 hours after. This was the case for almost every other table that was seated as well. I saw 4-5 tables leave before getting their food because they were waiting for so long (without being informed of the wait beforehand). These tables still went up to the register before leaving, so I'm not sure if they were made to pay or not even though they didn't receive any food. Each time we would ask the staff about our food they would say "15 more minutes." If this restaurant is going to run a promotion like this, then they must have the proper staff to cook in the kitchen to get food out in a timely manner. They have been running this promotion for at least 2 weeks now as per previous yelp reviews, so this must be an ongoing problem. We spent far too much time (total of almost 3 hours) here waiting for our food and it was an overall poor experience. The food was good, but that's the only good thing from this entire experience. I hope this review gets the attention of the staff at the restaurant so they can make an effort to improve their staffing for this promotion. read more

Finally found a go-to restaurant to satisfy my vindaloo cravings! This place was spacious, modern, and had a clean feel to the place. The lamb vindaloo is spicy but a good, edible spicy. It comes with rice, and they will give you more rice you need it! These days you have to order/pay for rice which doesn't make sense to me for a curry dish. The portion size is huge. I feel like it's double the size from what I'm used to. For rice refills and huge portion size, $19 for lamb vindaloo is great deal. They have a lunch special every day from 12-3. We ordered one of the rolls. I've never had the chicken tikka botti roll, but it was good. I especially liked the sauce that they put on the lettuce. Garlic naan was delicious! It had plenty of real minced garlic sprinkled on top and was just perfectly crispy on the bottom. Service was great. The server answered all my questions and even offered us some of the yogurt type dish to ease the heat. I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

The garlic naan was amazing as was the chicken tikka masala. The lamb korma was also delicious if you're looking for a new dish to try. We took leftovers home and warmed them up for lunch the next day and it was still delicious! The interior is very new and comfortable and it was not crowded at all when we went. read more

New Indian spot in Lakeview. For their grand opening they're offering 10 % off online orders. We decided to order take out since it was quite a rainy day. I didn't get inside by it looks like a spacious modern interior dining area. What captured my attention was the South Indian cuisine on the menu. Dosas and Idly are some of my favorites. So we went with Marsala and Karam ghee dosas and an order of veg biryani. I'm just saying these dosas were legit. At least 2 ft long, savory and tasty. The accompanying sambar was huge. A little more potato masala filling would've been a little better. The biryani was huge and good enough for two people. They not messing around with the spiciness. The pickle was hot. Request mild if it's an issue. Everything was tasty and well proportioned and a great value for the price. Definitely trying again. Pretty good! read more

Disclaimer did go on Sunday hoping for the 12-3pm unlimited dosa special they are running but found out it's Saturday only for those who are interested (but would love to see it expanded to Sunday too!) Ordered the Masala Dosa and made it a mysore masala dosa (more spiced paste added.) The dosa was pretty good crispy and a lot of filling which was awesome. I am pretty picky about sambar and coconut chutney being raised on that at home, but thoroughly enjoyed both here. The other chutney was not my personal favorite but not bad either. Also love how they brought out hot ghee, carrots pickle and podi (spiced powder mixtures to be mixed with ghee and eaten with dosa/idli). Ghee and carrot pickle were pretty good too. I will say they did not disappoint in the spice department dosa was spicy even for someone who grew up eating a lot of southern Indian spice so something to note when ordering! Also ordered the mango lassi and it was one of the best I've had in Chicago so far. Service was great as well! read more

My daughter and I came here before a concert. The server was very nice and friendly. The food was delicious and possibly the best Indian food we have had. The garlic naan was absolutely delicious! My daughter got the butter chicken and I got lamb tikka masala. The dishes that it was all served in were beautiful. If we are ever in the area, we will definitely be stopping here to eat again. read more

Walked here on a Saturday evening after going to the Lakewood east art show. They do not take reservations but it was almost empty inside at 6:30 on a Saturday. I was worried but it looked like they do a good takeout business. Inside is modern looking and clean. Waitress came over to seat us quickly and gave us menus and water. Prices are reasonable. We got the fried onion straws (forget the name) for the app and they were delicious- huge portion, way too much for 2 people. For mains we got malai kofta and butter chicken. Both were good but my husband and I both liked the malai kofta better. White rice comes with the dishes. Garlic naan was wonderful- probably the best we have ever eaten. Took home lots of food. No alcohol- it's BBYO. Would definitely return to try the dosas and some of the other dishes. read more

I have been wanting to try this place ever since I walked by and they had just had their grand opening and were giving away free rice pudding (that was delicious). I checked out their menu and saw they had paneer corn dosas. I love corn and I love dosas, so I was really excited to try that. We ordered that, the onion bhaji, and the lamb korma. The food was good, but the dosa and bhaji did not blow me away. I really wanted it to (my friends liked the food), but I will probably go elsewhere for my next dosa / fried food craving, which is unfortunate because I adore dosas and fried foods generally. However, the lamb korma was sooooo delicious. I loved it a lot and enjoyed eating the leftover korma later. The staff also was nice. So even though I was personally a bit disappointed by the dosa and bhaji and won't likely be coming back again, five stars for the lamb korma. read more

I ordered a chili and onion dosa here and it was excellent. My partner had the lamb biryani and loved it as well. We'll be back!

Still trying to find a solid Indian place in the city and with a strong craving I figured this relatively new spot would be worth the try. My friend and I did pickup and got the butter chicken dinner (comes with two veggie samosas), lamb vindaloo, garlic naan, and an aloo paratha. All of that only costs about $50 and they have a $10 off special. While the food was a little soggy, I put that on us for the time it took for us to eat. Starting with the veggie samosas, they were a good size, stuffed to the brim and a very tasty filling. This was my favorite thing. The aloo paratha wasn't for me while the garlic naan had a good amount of garlic on top and was half fluffy and half crispy. Both curries were very disappointing. The meats were cooked nicely but the gravies were supper watery and bland. The distinct flavors of a butter chicken and vindaloo were no where to be found. While the price was nice and there was plenty of food, the flavors weren't there. With that being said, I will continue to be on the quest to find my go to Indian spot. read more

Everything we ordered here was tasty and the service was friendly and attentive. The staff really seem to care about the food and have been helpful with suggestions. I've now been back to try more dishes and they continue to impress. This place feels kind of special, I love a place that seems to have heart and I think this is one of those places. My favorites are the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, the kashmiri pulav, and the gobi manchurian. The kashmiri pulav has a really nice savory sweetness to it. The butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are just great versions of these dishes that are so rich and creamy I just want to keep eating them. The gobi manchurian (fried cauliflower with a sweet nan spicy sauce) is extraordinary. One of the best cauliflower dishes I've ever had. I'd also highly recommend trying the dosa. I've tried the karam + ghee dosa and it was very very good. The dosa bread is massive and is wonderfully crunchy and bready. The items to dip in were also all very tasty (I don't remember them all). We also tried the onion bhajee, pav bhaji, chicken korma, and the gulab jamun, which were all tasty as well. read more

Awesome flavor and value all at once. You will be STUFFED when you leave this place. I have tried both the Chicken Haryali and the Paneer Butter Masala and both were stunningly good. The latter is pictured here. They come out fresh, steaming hot (definitely give it a minute to cool), and with more than enough rice. You can (aka should) get some naan to go with your food, it's a perfect way to eat almost everything here. I can also vouch for the mango lassi, it's very rich in flavor and consistency. It's a great dessert or accompaniment to your meal here. I will 100% be back! read more

Great food! Dosas are epic. Tikka masala could be more spice-forward. Tandoori veg delicious. It would be more friendly if the entrees had been timed better. One of our party of 3 got his meal well before the rest of us. He had to choose between waiting until it was cold or eating first and then watching us eat. Because of mixed dietary restrictions, we couldn't just share everything around. read more

This is by far the best Indian food we have eaten in Chicago. Every dish we have ordered has been delicious. The food is beautifully presented and the portions quite generous, and the prices are very reasonable and affordable. The staff are all very friendly, attentive and helpful -- server Siri who attended us the last two times is an absolute delight. The decor is charming and the seating roomy and comfortable. We've eaten there five times now, and will continue returning regularly because we absolutely love it. If you think you don't like Indian food, try this place. Our personal favorites are the Dal Palak, Shrimp Kabob, Vindaloo and Garlic Naan. The Dhosas are amazing. The Gulab Jamon make a perfect dessert. Highly, highly recommended! read more

My wife and I stopped in for dinner on a weeknight instead of our usual Indian place and had a great experience! The food was amazing and the service was attentive! We ordered the onion bhajee, chole bature, masala dosa, and chai. The food was so delicious we forgot to take pictures (which is rare for us)! The onion bhajee was fresh and crisp. The masala dosa was delicious and the accompanying sambhar and chutneys took it to another level! The Chana bhatura was also flavorful, especially if you order achar (pickle) on the side! We loved the food so much we also got lamb curry to go! The service was exceptional the whole time. The staff and kitchen were very accommodating with modifications! The restaurant and restrooms were also very clean and well-maintained. For authentic Indian food, do check this place out! You won't be disappointed! read more

We ordered takeout but accidentally ordered for the other location. The staff was incredibly accommodating and quickly made our order at the location we were at. As we waited, they gave us cups of water as well. The staff was all super friendly and the experience made our cold night a bit warmer besides the lovely service, the food was delicious. The butter chicken was very rich and had a lot of tomato flavor. The garlic naan was fresh and delicious. very grateful for the staff and food, will be returning soon! Thank you! read more

Went here today with my girlfriend, and we were very charmed. The staff were so friendly and sweet and it was very nice to be greeted and thanked by them as we came and went. The restaurant was nicely lit, and had music at a good level where we could talk but you could hear the music well. Lots of seating and some cute plants and pillows. The food was really something else though. The samosas we got were very reasonably priced and they were Delicious and bigger than my fist! She got the aloo gobi, basmati rice, garlic naan and then I got the tandoori chicken which. Both of us loved our dishes, and the tandoori chicken was so much food I will have enough for a whole nother meal. Forgot to take pictures but it was all very delicious and will definitely be ordering again. Ps. The server saw that we didn't grab a pamphlet from outside and grabbed one for us so we got 10$ off, super nice thank you. read more
