Indian fusion pizza, tacos, and bowls with ice cream
"This Indian cafe is offering carryout and delivery. And if you’re a healthcare worker or a first responder, you cat a wrap or bowl for free." - adrian kane
"We’re big fans of this little counter-service Indian street food and pizza spot. They have some build-your-own bowls and wraps, plus dishes like pav bhaji and biryani. But the best things at Moti are their snacks, particularly the samosa chaat and momos, and the masala pizzas. The chicken tikka and palak paneer versions of the pizza are the perfect balance of creamy, tangy, and spicy, and the personal sizes come on a wonderfully crisp slab of naan. Moti is a great option for a quick, affordable meal before you decide to go spend $80 on a pair of socks." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

Moti is a great option for a quick, affordable meal before you decide to go spend $80 on a pair of socks (or anytime, really)." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
"This River North cafe began cranking out Indian-inspired pizzas during the pandemic. They’re almost California-style and cut into squares and triangles with topping options like chicken tikka and smashed samosa. But there are traditional options including veggie momos topped with a Manchurian-style sauce and diced green peppers. There’s also a Lincoln Park location." - Ashok Selvam
"With locations in Lincoln Park and River North, Moti Cafe has shifted its operations from an Indian-style snack shop, to thin-crust pies featuring toppings including smashed samosas, chicken tikka, and vada pav. The pizza is kind of a hybrid of pan and tavern (the pie is square cut). This isn’t glorified naan with toppings: This is real-deal pizza with a subcontinental twist." - Eater Staff
