Desi Exotic Nation

Really great food, easy to pick vegetarian and non vegetarian from the menu. Fresh and modern atmosphere that is nice enough for a date or just fun with friends and at good prices. Had the mild version of the food and it was still full of spice, but the spicy did not over power the flavor. Enjoyed my garlic Naan too. Definitely going again.

My boyfriend and I went here recently and had an excellent experience. My impression is that most people order take out or delivery from here, but we dined in and they have a beautiful, fancy space that was nice for our anniversary dinner. We were curious about a dish that we'd seen on Yelp, but it turned out that it was no longer on their menu. However, when we asked our waiter, he went and asked the chef for a dish that might be similar. He recommended the lamb biryani and we also ordered chicken tandoori. They adjust the spice level of the dishes to your preference and considering we like our food very spicy, we were very pleased with the result. At the end of our meal, the chef and another employee personally came out to chat with us and inquire how our meal was. We really appreciated this personal touch and enjoyed everything about our visit, from the food to the employees. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back.

This place is a gem and I keep coming back. We most recently visited last Saturday for dinner. The food is some of the best in Peoria and IMO, comparable to places in Chicago. We had the samosa bites and cheese Naan in addition to our chicken and cauliflower entrees and everything was delicious. I know they are understaffed and dealing with an uptick in take-out orders, but we received excellent service at 6pm on a Saturday. I have ordered takeout several times and have only had good experiences with that as well - food is properly packed, great portions, and hot when picked up.

We frequently eat Indian when we find a good restraunt. This experience was dissapointing. Waiter knew little about the menu. The chef had to come to our table 3 times to explain menus. I requested a spice level of 1 to 2 and explained that I liked some heat but not so much that I could not eat it. The soup was not edible it was so hot. Food was sub par. Taste and appearance.
