Oh my goodness!!! This place is amazing. First of all, you walk in and notice the restaurant and dining area are very clean. It smells so good. No nasty grease smell here. The portion sizes are great. Huge catfish fillets!!! Everything is well seasoned and fresh. You can tell the grease is changed often which is very important for me. The staff is very friendly. They checked up on us and made sure we had everything we needed. I have to be honest, we came two days in a row because it is just that good!!! You absolutely will not be disappointed. Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in town!!!

This restaurant is a great addition to the Bloomington Normal community. When you first walk into the restaurant you notice that it is so clean that one could eat off the floor. First impressions are everything and this place definitely left me wanting to see what else they had to offer. The food was amazing!!!! I ordered Two fried catfish meals with fries. It was cooked to perfection! The food was well seasoned and lacked nothing. The lunch specials are nothing short of amazing. I would recommend anyone coming here to grab some great food. The portions leave you full and very satisfied. Don’t walk…..run to get yourself some. They also sell Indian food that is fresh and made to order. You will not be disappointed. Live well!

Excellent service. Very friendly and prompt. First time getting food here (at least since it was a sushi bowl spot). Chicken biryani was full of flavor with a good amount of heat. Samosas were perfectly fried. I want a bottle of the dipping sauce. Definitely planning to return!

So I came here with my buddy because he and I are always trying to check out new places to eat in Bloomington-Normal and I’m so happy I convinced him to eat here with me. My GOODNESS this is probably the best fried chicken I have had anywhere in the twin cities, hands down. The breading is crispy and each piece of chicken (tried the tenders) was perfectly seasoned. I was amazed at how high quality the chicken they use is, and how meaty even something like fried chicken tenders can be. Full of flavor, not greasy, perfectly breaded, and piping hot so do yourself a favor and wait a minute or a few before eating! They give the same treatment to their crinkle cut fries that enjoyed some of the seasoning that fell down from the tenders. Try the pizza too! It was surprisingly light and not too heavy (in a good way), doesn’t leave you feeling sluggish and the quality of ingredients here is consistent with their other offerings. The crust is the highlight, simple and foldable if you like folding your slices to eat them! Will have to try their chicken pizza soon given the wonderful spices they use as well as their chicken.

We tried the Double Cheese Burger combo, which was very delicious. Well seasoned, 1/3 lb patty, so a large portion I would say!

Food was given freezing cold. staff was friendly but they served me freezing cold beef nariyah. When I told them, they told me to just ask for it hot next time. That’s a bit ridiculous. If I am going to buy food then I expect it to come hot. I was instructed to warm it up at home.food was given with 3 bones and no meat. Won’t be back.
