    Get these things out of the way: Menu and Food: 5 stars Decor and booth comfort: 5 stars Service: 5 more Respect: 5 stars Here are the more subtle things: 1. we wanted to split a burger. Without asking, it was cut in half, fries with each half, no extra charge. 2.. My friend and I wanted a long "catch-up" lunch. Anthony, our server did not hover but stayed in touch. He never rushed us or made us feel we needed to leave. We were there for 2 hours and had refills and requested items immediately. Well run and well done LEYE and SHoSM.

    Nadu is easily the quintessential Indian spot in Chicago. I love that they keep things fresh with a changing menu, and their cocktails are always packed with great flavor. Everything we had was incredible—the chicken kabab and benne dosa were honestly out of this world. We also tried the jackfruit chettinad and mutton mamu, both of which were super fulfilling. Definitely a must-visit.
