I ordered a Butter Goat Curry to go. The packing was very safe to avoid leaking. It was so delicious! I haven't had Indian food for a while, and this really impressed me. The serving people were very polite and friendly, and I got my order ahead of the scheduled time as I arrived earlier. Recommend this place!

This is the best Indian restaurant in IL. They have the most delicious food! I have tried at least half of their large menu of options and have not been disappointed even once. My absolute favorite dishes that are a MUST TRY are Chef Sumit Rawat's Tandoori items including Afgani Kebabs, Aachari Tangri Kebabs, Paneer Tikka Dry Kebabs, Tandoori Lamb Chops, Tandoori Shrimp, and Tandoori Salmon. That is only a portion of the Tandoori menu, all of the Tandoori items are mouth watering dishes with incredible flavor and succulence. Some of my other favorite dishes from the restaurant are the Kara Kolambu Eggplant, Methi Chicken, and Butter Chicken Masala. They also have a large bar with great specialty drinks. They have something for everyone for sure! Their naans are delicious especially the garlic and gongura naan. The appetizers are all tasty and my favorites are all of the Gobi appetizers, Chilli Parotta, any of the chicken/shrimp 65s, any of the Manchurians, and the Ginger Chicken. Must try desserts are the rasmalai, and the rabdi ka jamun. The atmosphere, ambiance, food and drinks make it one of the top places to meet with friends and loved ones, whether it's just two of you or a larger party of people (they also do VIP groups if you want to celebrate a special occasion there)! Sometimes they even have club nights where they play music of a theme for a night such as (R&B/Rap/Pop, South Indian & Bollywood, Latina Nights). They have special lighting and sound systems for these events. Keep an eye out for these invents for a great time (they usually advertise them on social media)! All in all, you must try the full experience that is Bloom Bawarchi! You will be addicted and make it a weekly staple for sure.

First impressions-- extremely trendy! The staff was very friendly and helpful. My wife and I were asked if it was our first time there and it was. Although I traveled from NE Texas for a wedding, I might end up telling people it was for Bloom Bawarchi instead! I opted for a goat curry (I wish I could remember the name!!) And my wife got the lamb chops. We had garlic Naan to share and of course that disappeared almost immediately after it got to the table. I wish my stomach was just a little bigger but I had a decent-sized snack to take home after it all. With drinks the bill came out to about what I had expected; coming from Texas I'm used to things being a little on the cheaper side but I wasn't disappointed with the price point-- especially considering how delicious everything tasted. If I'm ever in the area again I will *definitely* be coming back.

Very friendly as you walk through the door. Placed a to-go order. You can place an order ahead of time which I would recommend because while not appearing super busy it would be about 30 min for food to be done. They seems to have a busy to-go busYou can choose how spicy you want your dishes and they range in American / Desi on how hot you want your selection to be. I got the: Bawarchi Gombi 65 - I got medium but could have gone spicer. Delicious Chicken Lollipop - so much better than I thought. Amazing crunch and good level of spice Parotta- flaky and crisp. Like a smashed croissant Cheese Kulcha- very good. Mild and great to go with something spicy to calm it down. Now only bad thing it's 90 miles from home but when going this way will stop again
