A decent Indian restaurant in Peoria. We got the order to go and it was ready in half an hour. The interior decor was pleasant and modern. The food as well. The Natu kodi was good and Gobi Manchurian was also good. The mango lassi and paratha were not upto the mark. The chicken curry was very good.

At last, a perfect Indian restaurant for Peoria. Food Quality, Taste, Ambience, Presentation etc everything is great. Quantity of Biriyani could be better.

Nice interior. Butter Chicken and Naan were great. Chicken Dum Biriyani was mediocre. They have a pretty good selection of food listed on the menu (including some Indo Chinese items). We wanted to try the Goat Biriyani but they were out of goat. Service was alright.

When I first parked outside, I had very little expectations of the place. I mean for heavens sake, there wasn’t even a proper sign for the restaurant other than a cloth banner hung outside.
So, here I am parked outside with my brother, wife and a 8 month old baby. I walk in and to my complete surprise, the whole place was beautifully decorated and perfectly lit. The tables were tastefully placed with all the utensils and glassware clean as if it was just bought for us. The staff there at the time of my visit was courteous and nothing short of welcoming. With some very pleasant music playing in the background we start to place orders for a whole slew of dishes: Mango Lassi’s, Egg Biryani, Kulcha’s, Naan, Tandoori Chicken, Chenna Masala and Saag Paneer. I can tell you that it has been a long time since I’ve had such fresh and tasty dishes. In between the meals, a gentleman walked up to us and asked us if the spice levels, and everything pertaining to the dishes was satisfactory and up to our mark, so that’s always comforting to know that the people over there care for what we had ordered.
Nonetheless, this place is a very pleasant surprise and would go there again and again. I hope they keep up their great work and the food taste remains consistent over time. Looking forward to trying other dishes next time around!

We got to try some popular Indian dishes with great twist indeed! Very well presented, colorful, sufficient quantity with mouth watering taste, at about right spice level! Spice level is customizable of course, ambiance coupled with presentation of popular Indian recipes were even more appetizing. There are quite a few dishes vegetarians can pick also, my favorite pick Cauliflower 65 which came to the table hot, and crispy! Earthen pot Chicken Biryani tasted wonderful. Highly recommend to those foodies out there always looking for new dishes to try. Go ahead give it try and don’t forget to customize it to suit to your palate. Cannot wait to go back and try more exotic Indian dishes. Bon appetit!

Tried Dam Biriyani and found moderate taste with real spicy. Kids failed to take any. Checkout people need more expertise. Online shows 25 percent discount and they denied. I did not argue but it is deceptive. Good interior. Need halal certification. More Muslim will go there if they ensure strict halal.

Tandoori Tikka was so delicious, tender and juicy……Naan is fresh and melts in your mouth.
Biryani served in Earthy Pot is an Exotic Experience!!
Love to dine more often at D.E.N !!

The paneer appetizer and mango lassi are delicious! After moving home to small town Illinois after 5 years in Singapore, I’ve been missing Indian food. DEN was a happy find on our last road trip. It filled the Indian craving perfectly!

Some of the best food in the Peoria area! Atmosphere was intimate and modern. The portion sizes were bigger than expected and everything had such amazing flavors.
