Outstanding food and service. Best tandoori chicken I've had, as was the mango lassi. Best Indian restaurant in the area and Chicago, too. Casual, yet comfortable ambiance.

Wow, I have lived in Evanston ....for years and just ate here a month agofor the first time and have already returned. The waiter was attentive asking numerous times if everything was okay, checking on how we felt about the spice levels we had chosen. The food was delicious with balanced flavors and ample servings. The Naan was so tender and tasty. We were told that they had reopened their eat in business in the last year after covid. There weren't many customers dining in but their carry out business seems to be still holding strong. Give the place a shot it's so worth it.

Absolutely delicious! Ate here for the first time this evening and I am sad I have let so much time go by before giving this place a try. The service was excellent, the gentleman working the front of the restaurant was kind and attentive! While it's an easy to miss restaurant from the outside, the inside itself is bare at best as well. We came for the food though, so as long as it's clean and the food is good, we will be satisfied. It's clean and the food is good! We had the Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, and the Lamb Curry. All 3 were excellent. We will be back!

Mumbai Indian Grill Sherman Ave. We've only been here twice in four years but will definitely return more often! Our first time was pre-Covid and the place was a little hole-in-the-wall but the meal was delicious. Then Covid hit and the restaurant operated as solely takeout and delivery and we kind of forgot about it. Fast forward to six months ago, they reopened as a 'dine-in' restaurant, complete with white tablecloths and a refreshed interior. Still a simple and unassuming place, but we decided to try it again tonight and it didn't disappoint! The food is delicious. We started with the samosas, which came filled with flavorful potatoes and vegetables, fried to perfection. We also ordered aloo mutter (peas and potato curry), medium spice, and it was just enough heat to make my nose run. The tandoori chicken came out sizzling hot on the platter and I mean sizzle! It was seasoned and cooked very nicely. Took a couple of minutes for the steam to stop. We ordered a side of naan, which arrived hot and buttery soft, and yet lightly crisp on the bottom. I highly recommend this little spot. It's a BYOB too. Don't get turned off if you're the only people occupying a table (as we were). I swear it felt like they made dinner JUST for US. We order three dishes and a side of naan, brought home leftovers, and the bill was around $40.

My wife and I have been looking for a great Indian restaurant that we could enjoy at a reasonable price. Mumbai Indian Grill, recently reopened for dinner, after being take-out only during the period following the pandemic. A grand reopening for lunch has been announced, so watch for the lunch specials. The food was exceptional. You can immediately recognize that the dishes are homemade. We ordered the chicken curry, which was very flavorful, and the vegetable rice biryani, which was more than ample in size and equally flavorful. It's great to eat homemade food in a restaurant again. The overall value of a meal is terrific. We paid $36 which includes tax and tip for our meal, and essentially had an extra meal since the serving sizes are quite large. The service by our waiter Bimal was better than excellent, attentive, and extremely friendly. You can order dishes from mild to spicy using a scale of 1-5. Some dishes come with your choice of naan or rice, while others come only with rice. The restaurant is located in the heart of downtown Evanston, which is convenient with plenty of downtown parking. The restaurant is tastefully decorated in a casual and comfortable ambiance which is appropriate for a relaxed meal with friends or colleagues. We are making  Mumbai Indian a regular go-to restaurant for lunches, dinners, and takeout because of its great tastes, superb value, and event service. Update: On our second visit we began with very generous sized samosas which were delicious. We then had our Saag Paneer and Tandoori Chicken. Both were excellent. The Tandoori was very juicy, made fresh, with great taste. We kept picking at it. The portion was huge. It's all dark meat. I prefer white meat, but really enjoyed it because of the way it is prepared. The spinach with cheese was equally good. We ordered naan with our chicken and rice with the saag paneer, and it worked out great. The naan was very fresh and we loved it. For dessert order the absolutely delicious Mango Kulfi (ice cream).

This place needs some love. Food is excellent. They aren't shy with salt, but for the most part I wouldn't want less. Tandoori chicken is perfect. Tikka masala is just like butter chicken if you are looking for it. They're only carry-out and delivery now, which is probably all for the best since it's not very nice inside. The staff is very friendly. I'll definitely be back.

Great flavors for a cheap price. I never knew this place existed until finding it on grubhub. If you're craving indian food in evanston, this is the place I recommend. They are takeout and delivery only though.

Amazing bang for your buck. I got the samosa chaat (pictured) and vegetable korma. The vegetable korma was rich and creamy with a nice kick (I got medium spicy -- sometimes medium is insanely spicy, but this was very reasonable), and there was also a TON of rice provided. But the samosa chaat is the best samosa chaat I've ever had! The flavors are incredible: spicy, sour/tangy, fresh/sweet... and the texture is amazing too. Every bite has its own unique flavor. Also, it's surprisingly big. I would definitely order this samosa chaat again. It's only $8, but it could be two meals for me... and I would try something else next time instead of vegetable korma, but that's just because I want to try more Indian food! (I usually just order paneer tikka masala, my favorite food)
