The good here was delicious! Dined in and were met with friendly service. My girlfriend and I shared what the other got, and had the best of both worlds. I had chicken curry, and she had a vegetarian dish with cheese, peppers, and other veggies. Will definitely go again!

TLDR: try the gobi 65!! We had an average to less than optimal experience. We ordered gobi 65, channa masala, tadka dal and 2 orders of garlic naan. We waited 45-60 mins for our meal, with the gobi 65 arriving somewhere in the middle of that. It wasnt very busy there that I could see, but I'll be gracious and assume they were busy filling online orders as well/the curries must take that ling to make. As for flavor, the gobi 65 tasted the best of everything! The garlic naan was alright. The curries were not flavored very well in my opinion. If you cant tolerate spice, DO NOT order the channa masala or tadka dal. If you feel adventurous you can try asking them to leave the pepper out.

Food is tasty. BUT, customer service is very slow. It takes at least 50 minutes to get the food on your table. You need to have all life long to go there and all patience to deal with the waiter who does not seem to be interested in serving you. I don't recommend this place at all. It is very expensive as well.

LIPSTICK STAIN ALERT - NO APOLOGIES RECEIVED!!! I'd have given them a zero if that was an option. Some of the food was good, but the service and hygiene however, good lord! My wife literally pointed out the lipstick stain on the glass and the owner (or cashier, not sure as he was the only person we saw in there) did not even apologize. Not even an acknowledgement. Our first, and last time being there!

Need to try once. How expensive is the menu? For instance, how much it cost for one piece of garlic naan and a bowl of chicken tikka?

It's around $20 with drink. If you dont get water. You should try this place. Very professional and very authentic and very traditional in their craft. Come before 2PM though for the best Indian meal in Carbondale as they close for a few hours to prepare for dinner. Google their hours. 10/10 and 5 out of 5 for Southern Illinois Authentic Indian Cuisine. Also the simosa chat is 🔥💯
