We visited Matka Khichdi for the first time and had a great experience! The Punjabi food was delicious and full of authentic Indian flavors. For the first time in Chicago, we had such amazing Punjabi food—especially the Kaju Curry, which was outstanding! Everything was fresh and perfectly prepared. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!
Delicious!! They have a lot of vegan options here! Just let them know about any specifications. Great service and great atmosphere!
The store was clean with modern wall decor and hanging faux fruit. The food was oily! The mostly potato patty was good with dipping sauces but white Hawaiian bun with it was unnecessary. The nann bread tasted ok, but store bought and then rewarmed in oil and garlic. I prefer to avoid seed oils and it would be great if they would switch to olive oil for health. They were out of mango Lassi drink which may have ended the meal on a high note. Americans expect filtered ice water, at restaurants. The food gave me a stomach ache,. The presentation was just ok. Front cashier was friendly enough, made us feel welcome and I wish them well,. The ale cart prices were too high for bowl of mush. If the prices were 30% less then it would be in line with other fast food and they would have more customers. This place is Gujarat vegetarian, so I may give it another try but not order oily khichdi. Thank you
Rushi was really kind and took us right before closing time. Khichdi was very delicious we absolutely loved it, credit goes to the chef jaswind. Will come again for sure.
They specialize in khichdi which is a porridge made of lentils and rice. These is cooked with clarified butter adds a different flavor. Adding generous quantities of dry fruit like raisins, cashew, peanuts gives make it sumptuous and tasty. They also have usual Indian vegetation curries, sandwiches, chaat and breakfast items. We tried their khichdi, maska bun, missel paav, Dahi puri. Highly recommended.
I had a good experience at Matka Khichdi. The customer service was very nice. Jashwantbhai was friendly and welcoming and made us feel like guests. The misal tasted very good. The khichdi was okay. The shikanji and hajma hajma were fine, but they were served with normal water instead of soda. The only issue was that the food quantity was a little less. Overall, it was a good place with great service and a friendly atmosphere.
A random spot I came across while searching for Indian vegetarian restaurant. This place is completely vegetarian and gives a cafe style vibe. We came here for lunch and ordered a couple of kichidis, chole kulcha, misal pav and aloo sandwich. We also ordered a couple of drinks. The service was quick. The khala katta was phenomenal and highly recommended. The kichdis were decent. The sandwich and misal pav were also fine. The star item is their chole and kulcha. This is the best I have had in the US. When you visit this place, chole kulcha is a must try item.
I had lunch at this restaurant recently and was blown away by the food and service. We ordered the Aloo Muttar Grilled Sandwich, Pune Misal Pav, Wada Pav, and Dahi Puri, and each was so delicious it was hard to pick a favorite. The fresh, high-quality ingredients stood out, reminiscent of iconic Mumbai chaat shops, which is rare for fast-food Indian places. The service was fast, and the ambiance, with great music, made it even better. I’m excited to return soon. Highly recommend!
