Picturesque food but truly lacking in flavor. Good concept. Tbh I love a great Indian pizza but this was not it. Pizza lacked the tikka masala sauce and the Moti sauce (dumped on there) was honestly way too overpowering. Momo’s tasted rather over done/boiled and in general very average (lava sauce is not spicy in the slightest). Even using a Groupon, I was left rather unsatisfied.Also, the fact that they don’t provide water cups is incredibly annoying. Overall, I won’t be supporting this establishment again.
Quick service and the pizza was awesome. I got the thin crust chicken tikka pizza. Nice and crunchy. it didn’t fall apart when you pick it up. And the taste was great! i’ll come back for sure
Visit May 25, 2022So we visited this cafe on our first day in Chicago with high hopes based on some tik toks and reviews on google. Of all the places we dined at, this was hands down the worst of all. We ordered a chicken tikka sub (can’t remember the exact name nor can find it on the menu’s they have listed now) and the loaded fries. First, you probably would have to set up a scavenger hunt to even find any pieces of chicken in the sub, and remember to take a floating device with you because of all the sauce pooled on top. During our hunt we found probably 5 tid bits of chicken that was probably the size of m&m’s. The sub lacks in flavor completely. There was no other components to the sub that would make you even say “okay at least they didn’t skimp out on this,” unfortunately the only abundance of was the roll itself and the sauce. The portion of this sub is not filling either. The sub was the least bit presentable either, so that’s another downer for me. Second the loaded fries. The pictures are greatly deceiving for this one. The fries it self was edible. But the toppings made it worse. The chicken on it was very dry and literally shredded to pieces, might as well have put it in a blender and served it. BUT this sauce was something else. It had a tart flavor, not the kind you taste plain yogurt, but the kind you know that it’s starting to go bad. I guess it was at least much better looking than the sub. Overall, we ate what we could and the rest became history. We really wanted to give this place a chance but unfortunately we won’t ever return again or recommend it to anyone. I’m surprised to see good reviews, but it could be that other things are possibly better tasting. It’s not worth it, dine at your own risk.
An excellent place serving a fusion of Indian-American dishes by a very hardworking young crew even at midnight!We were there on the sunday night before July 4th at 11:00pm and this place was packed. A queue was formed outside the restaurant even at that hour. The staff was very friendly and happily accommodating everyone to the best they could. Their paneer tikka pizza on the 12” thin crust was too good. We also tried their Moti Fries and though it wasn’t for us, it was nice to try those. Indoor dining is minimal but there was patio seating available.Would highly recommend this place!
Cool little indian street food shop!
I wandered over to Moti, seeing the sign as I passed and ordered a bowl with biryani, chicken, and toppings and gravy, I am so accustomed in Chicago to overpriced Indian resataurants where a meal for two can easily reach $120, and I never imagined that a "cafe" style menu where you can build your own dish with bases, proteins, and gravy and toppings and sides ,could work for Indian food which is not a "mix up" cuisine, but actually very sophisticated, But Moti makes this work, even with a simple menu!!! I brought my bowl home and it was an absolute joy, and the best part was, when I stalled on choosing the toppings, the staff graciously nudged me in the right direction and the result was incredible. I don't think it is an accident that almost everyone in the cafe this afternoon was of South Asian descent. That's your first clue.
Fun, unique Indian pizza and snacks. Menu is limited but selection and flavor are amazing. Must try the Masala fries. Mango lassi was thick and creamy. Loved the crispy pizza crust and toppings. Dessert with strawberries was a beautiful end to a memorable lunch. Outside seating was available but chose to eat inside.
Amazing!!! Within minutes of placing my order, I received my food. I ordered the the chicken Tikka pizza, the sweet chili momos, the moti fries, and the turmeric yellow rice. SO AMAZING!!! The sauces are a little on the Spicier side but you better believe I chugged a water with this meal. Boogers dripping down my nose, beads of sweat on the back of my neck. Would definitely come back! They have amazing vegan and vegetarian optionsss!
Wasn't anything special really and definitely not worth 22$. The sauce tasted like marinara sauce. I had some food stuck in my throat and the owner wouldn't even give me a cup of tap water and was crying that i had to buy a bottle of water.Still hungry after eating a whole "entree".The Mango lassi was really good though.
I tried Moti Chicken tikka pizza, chicken Momos, Nan bites, Moti fries and bottled Mango lassi.Pizza 4.5/5 - i felt pizza could have been little bigger as per price. But it was yummy.Moti Fries - 2/5 I think it’s not worth. Regular fries with Srirachcha spicy mayo.Nan Bites - 4/5 with dipping sauce/ Gravy was ok. Felt like Marinara sauce but it was good.Chicken momos- 5/5 it’s the best. I love the way they served it. It was simply fantastic.Mango lassi - 4/5 It’s yummy but little pricey.Don’t forget to try their pizza and momos.For dine in they are serving in boxes. I felt they could give big tray like most of the restuarant chains. So that it will be easy to trash ?.And I wish they had some special menu for kids. My kid could not eat anything here.
