"“…..Siri-show me THE TASTIEST S.Indian Food in Chicago close to U.I.C.”…. and then-SIRI on Taylor Street is the correct place to eat very well prepared dishes from India, and some great South-Indian specialtieslike the fermented Dal-batter “crepe” rolled around potatoes -Masala Dosa.Wanna know how to discern a properly prepared Dosa?Flick-it.Using your fingernail asa percussive tool simply “flick”your fingernail against the Dosa shell,and listen for a resonancelike flicking a cardboard paper-towel tube.If it doesn’t make any noise- it’s not properly prepared.Try- the wonderfully balanced flavor of theS. Indian “Spicy Andrah Pradesh Cashew Chicken”, along with an orderof “Jera” Rice Basmati Rice tossed with toasted Cumin seeds).Dried Mexican Chile de Arbol Curry leaf add to the unique flavor profile of this dish, oddly located in their “non-Veg-Appetizer” section of the menu.Ever since COVID’s spreadthe OWNER’s have endedthe lunch buffet, ? Masala Dosa night ? The PANI Puri-Indian-Street-Food-night…. ?Sadly.Hopefully they will return, although the owner confessed difficulty finding labor talented Aunties, able to masterfully create Dosa after Dosa after Dosa !)If you live anywhere below Grand Ave.in Chicago- this place is the best,most “G. D” Geographically Desirable) Proper Indian Restaurant that you will find! that’s not a Dhaba-dive)."
