Mughal India

Food was fine, first time visit. $ 12.95 for an all-​you-​can eat Indian buffet is reasonable in the city. But when I asked for a Coke (while my colleague used the restroom) and the waiter brought two Cokes, that was annoying. Especially when the bill came and the Cokes were $ 3.90 each plus tax. Seriously! Do you not want people to come back?

Nope. Too much tamarind in the Chicken Biryani, almost tasted like Tamarind Biryani. Quality of rice used for this dish is also poor.

The food was excellent. I had takeout for lunch.
Samosas — yum! and served at the proper temperature
CHICKEN KEEMA CURRY — Excellent.
Basmati rice –flavorful.
Poori — good flavor, but a little thick an not as «puffy» as I’ve had before.
The only complaints I have is the portion size vs price. The rice servicing was enough for 3 or people. The entrée dish seemed rather small for the price. Perhaps it was takeout size.
Despite the complaints, I will definitely return and try some other dishes.

Worst customer service and average food defines the experience.
The waiter didn’t even know what the curry we were ordering. Couldn’t make a feedback or reco on it.
When the food came and we said it was bad, he suggested another one and the owner had the temerity to suggest that since the curry was not what we expected we have it as dessert as it was very sweet. Seriously?
Finally charged us for everything despite the fact that it was the waiter who brought in the other curry on his behest as replacement for what we didn’t like.
On top of all that, it is overpriced for what it serves.
Never order a Gobhi Gullistan.

Great food, interesting flavors, varied menu, attentive and friendly staff. I had the ghosht sagwala (lamb spinach) and a goat biryani, both of which were fabulous. My only regrets are that I couldn’t eat more while I was there and I don’t live close enough to be a regular customer.

Came here for lunch with a coworker to try the buffet. The food was excellent and the place was packed. Asked for replacement tandoori chicken on the buffet to which they not only restocked the buffet but brought it to my table too. Service was overall excellent.
Had a very good time for lunch and definitely plan to come back again

Decent food and okay customer service. Just really glad they were open on xmas day. We ordered biryani which was good and chicken curry was also okay. Wasn’t a fan on naan. But again just glad they were open on 25^th

Came in Monday evening for dinner. My boyfriend and I love Indian food, he came in for lunch one day and he was hooked, he works in the area and we live close by. We’ve been returning customers for some time now.
The food is pretty good, if only they can get the orders right it’d be amazing! The service never disappoints, the place is always empty so how could they lack in service. My only complaint is the level of spice when ordering. It seems like they never get the spice levels right?! Every visit I’ve told them that I love spicy food and love my dishes to be made «extra spicy» and there was only one occasion they got it right. My boyfriend never changes the spice level of his dishes and just orders his as is but his dishes often come out waaaaaaay spicier than mine?!? I’m not sure if it’s a miscommunication between staff or if we just don’t know how to order… It would be nice to get exactly what I want, which definitely leads me to rate this place with only 3 stars! We are obviously returning customers but knowing that my dishes never come out the way I order them is pretty disappointing! The appeal of this specific Indian Restaurant is that it’s in our neighborhood, it’s convenient. They make it hard to love this place, I don’t know why I come back for disappointments.
Again, we have been coming in for dinner for some time now and every one of our visits the place is TOTALLY DEAD?! Seriously, every time, we are always the only ones dining in… I’m not entirely sure how I feel about that or what to make of it. The restaurant offers a lunch buffet, which leads me to believe most of their customers are more inclined to take advantage of that and maybe the option of delivery. I could be missing something…
Before I write this place off I feel like I should check out their lunch buffet.

Went there on a Sunday evening. Tried Chicken Madras and chicken Biryani. I had asked for spicy and it was spicy. Chicken Madras was OK, but Biryani was good. The service was decent, seemed like all college students. Overall it was a good experience. 3.5*

I don’t know what’s been going on here, but my last few takeout orders have just been disappointing!
Not sure why this place refuses to vary their spice level per order, but no matter how many times I request «mild,» my entrée always varies between medium and oh-​my-​God-​save-​me. But that’s nothing new– you just suck it up and deal be aside the food is good. Or was good…
First, get it together with the naan. How hard is it to bake flatbread properly? Last night, my naan was burnt on one end and raw on the other. The time I ordered before, I got onion naan when I ordered lamb. Then time before that, my plain naan was so scorched on the bottom/​middle that’s couldn’t eat it.
Aside from the total disregard for spice level, the quality and quantity of the entrees has diminished. I had 5 lousy pieces of chicken in my tikka masala last night. Time before that, my container was filled about an inch from the top– major deviation from the norm. This batch was a little watery too, as if they didn’t have enough left in the pot for a full order and were trying to make it work.
For $ 10 – 15 an entrée and $ 3.50 for a slice of bread, step it up and stop skimping. In talking to you owners! Competition on the Indian food market is fierce and I want to see you survive– you have such potential!

This was pretty good Indian food, and in convenient walking distance from Union Station. The staff was friendly. The buffet was a bit expensive at around 13 bucks.
The food was nicely spicy, and there were lots of different dishes to choose from, including five vegetarian options. I have celiac disease, and was able to eat most things on the buffet safely, with the usual exceptions of naan and gulab jamun.
The only reason I didn’t give it a higher rating is that all of the dishes tasted very similar, like the same combination of spices and flavors was used for every dish.

One word: GROSS.
Unlike many previous reviewers who acknowledged having limited experience eating Indian food, I’ve been to probably hundreds of Indian restaurants, including tons in the U.K. where curry is king. I may not be ethnically Indian, but I know what I’m talking about. And my meal was a disaster. The pakora was heavy, laden with batter and greasy on the inside. The sag paneer was over-​spiced, with only a few odd-​shaped pieces of cheese, and after a few minutes, grease was pooling on top. The naan was cooked inconsistently, with parts of it burnt and parts of it thick and doughy. It, too, has some sort of grease on top, I thought it was butter but ut wasn’t. Yuck.

Stopped in because it was raining and I didn’t want to walk all the way to the grocery store. I AM SO GLAD I DID! This is as good as the Indian food my friend cooked me from his family recipes that his mom taught him and he’s spent his life practicing! I ordered take-​out and the staff was so kind and friendly while I waited for my food. It was quick to be ready and there was SO much of it. This food was worth more than I paid for it. I’ve never been more thrilled to have such a great place near me.

I went here today with absolutely no expectations. I haven’t tried many Indian restaurants in Chicago however this was a delightful surprise. The customer service was great and the food was superb. We had the samosas, day makhni, malai kofta, biryani and channa Masala with naan.
Overall it was not too expensive and I loved the food! I will definitely be coming here again.

While you are not overwhelmed by tasty choicest food options, Mughal India manages to stay on the back of your mind, whether you are getting yourself a takeout or eating in the ambience of the restaurant. This is because of the fact that the food is tasty enough, the staff are cordial enough to even adjust your order based on the quantity you will end up getting if you order in excess.
Lastly, this is a place where you can be vocal and literally sing your heart out, for they seem to enjoy the fact that people are enjoying their time here. I will go there, with friends, again and again…

If I told you that I knew ANYTHING about Indian food, it would a down right lie. Pretty much, the only thing I know is that you point at a dish and some spicy, molten hot liquid comes out with chicken in it and I will most likely suffer indigestion and/​or diarrhea for some time. This is no exception.
I got the something vindalu and my wife got the tiki whatever. I liked her tiki whatever better, although my something vindalu had well cooked chicken. Both were good. Indian rice sucks. It’s not the restaurant’s fault that I like sticky white rice. The service was great and they always came over to ask if we were okay.
Well, there you have it. I tried Indian food. Next time that I want my stomach full of diarrhea inducing, spicy liquid, I know where one is close by.
Disclaimer: do not eat ice cream after Indian food or Thai curry. Not going into details. Just don’t do it.

Had a really good Indian w meal!!! Had been meaning to come here for a long time. Finally made it. Im glad I did. They have a pretty good buffet. Many of my favorites were on there including tandoori chicken, goat curry and chana masala. I was more than satisfied. Im a big fan of Indian food. Now I have another spot to go to that I really enjoyed. Place is small but clean. Good friendly service also. Not a 5 star but definitely worth a visit!!!

I had heard good things about Mughal India, so when my manager wanted to meet there for lunch, I was all in.
My buffet experience was really OK. The vegetarian options on the buffet were good, like they had saag, daal makhani, paneer mattar, gobhi, and bharta. I think those were all of them. The food was OK — I mean I really only enjoyed the daal makhani. The rest were average.
In terms of appetizers, I thought the selection was a bit on the weaker side — all they had were these mini-​samosas; which were OK, but I just expected a couple of options for a $ 13 buffet.
Lastly… the dessert… they had gulab jamun, pista kulfi, and kheer. I went with a taste of the kulfi and kheer. Interesting, because the sweetness levels were VERY different. I probably should’ve eaten the kheer first, because it was not very sweet — well, relative to the kulfi. The kulfi tasted good, but it was kind of icy, which means it wasn’t prepared correctly. Neither kulfi nor ice cream is supposed to be icy.
It takes me quite a bit of coaxing to have an Indian buffet, because I eat the food often enough and secondly restaurant Indian food is super heavy; creamy, oily, etc. So it has to have been an excellent experience to win my vote.

3.5 stars really. Why? Because the lunch buffet is 4 stars – all your favorite dishes, pretty well prepared, lots of choices and tasty.
But dinner only rates 3 stars. I ordered aloo paratha, which is bread stuffed with mashed potatoes. The version here comes WITHOUT mashed potatoes – at least mine did. The first person I pointed this out to denied it. The second person said this is the way they make it here. The third apologized and promised to get me another order. She did, and when it came, it was exactly the same as the first – no stuffing of any sort. Honestly, I don’t understand this, and no-​one could explain it. The people who work here are nice but some of them could not speak English too well.
I also ordered a lamb dish, karahi gosht, made with tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and «mild spices” – at least, that’s the way the menu describes the spices, mild. Frankly it was too spicy for me – but if that’s the way they season here, you just have to ask for REALLY mild. Still someone could have told me, or asked how hot I like the food – if they spoke English.
Everything is a la carte, so rice is extra – but they serve a mound that easily would serve 2 – 3 people. In the end, I was disappointed by the dinner, but not put off. I would return for the buffet, but not for dinner.

This is where I have ordered Indian from for delivery. Not a lot of options in my area so we get this.
As an Indian, who cooks Indian and comes from a family of fantastic cooks, I can be pretty picky. The food is good. I’ve had chicken makhani and a couple lamb dishes.
You have to add rice which I think is kind of ridiculous at the price point. Rice is an easy, cheap add.
If I don’t feel like cooking myself, I’ll order from here.
