The food was absolutely phenomenal! The highlight was absolutely the Dahi Puri, add some Tamarind Chutney and it's an unforgettable flavor explosion!! One of my new favorite bites in Chicago! However, I do have to point out that the service was extremely slow. It took a good 10 minutes for someone to come get us from the Hostess stand at the front when we got there, and we had to waive someone down to take our order after a long wait time. It was very unorganized and frustrating, but the staff was very nice.
