About Mama's Kitchen

Family owned, authentic Indian cousine, made fresh daily, 15 years experience, located right in the heart of downtown Champaign.

Mama's Kitchen is an indian restaurant in Champaign, Illinois. It is listed at 134 E University Ave, Champaign, IL 61820, which places it among the local businesses of Champaign that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

Mama’s Kitchen has an amazing touch to Indian cuisine. The food felt fresh, flavorful, and comforting, with the kind of taste that reminds you of home-style Indian food. I really enjoyed the spices and the overall quality. Great place if you are looking for authentic Indian food in the area. Definitely worth trying!

My first time at Mama's Kitchen was excellent! Clean with great atmosphere. Ritu was most pleasant and patient and she helped me navigate the menu through my allergy restrictions to find and a new favorite dish! The mixes Vegetables, rice and main bread. This is a Champaign-Urbana staple!

I’ll be back soon. Food was outstanding. I had some ghobi and naan and can’t wait to try out the rest of the menu. That first bite really blew me away! I like that the restaurant is connected to the market. I might not have stopped into the market otherwise, but I will be going back on a full trip there soon. I could use for maybe some stools while I wait. My food took a little longer than I anticipated, but it was absolutely worth it. Maybe other dishes take less time. I’m finally taking the vegetarian plunge and I can already tell this place will be my new best friend. I really hope meat lovers don’t skip out just because it’s all veg, the food is so good you don’t want to miss out!

I've had several dishes here. Dry manchurian, pav bhaji, samosa chat and pani puri are all delicious. Samosa chat has become my staple food now. Manchurian was definitely something that was missing in the CU area.
