We visited Adda in Lombard and ordered the Chai, Pani Puri, and Malai Paratha. The restaurant has a beautiful setup with great vibes and decor -- clearly a lot of effort was put into creating a warm and trendy atmosphere. It looks and feels like a place where you'd expect great food and service. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The Pani Puri was priced at eight dollars but came as a few chickpeas floating in water with light seasoning -- something that felt rushed and lacked care. The Malai Paratha and Chai were okay, but not worth the price. When I asked about the dish, the worker responded by asking where I was from, then said, "Well, that's because you're from that country -- in Pakistan, this is how we make it." The comment came off dismissive and unhelpful. I've had plenty of Pakistani street food, and I've never seen something this low-effort or flavorless. It was disappointing to see a restaurant that looks so nice but puts so little heart into its food. The paratha seemed like it was ready made and malai looked like it was out of a can... I was kinda wondering if the have a kitchen in the back.. I kind of feel at this point I have put more effort into this review then they put into my food. However, as I was writing this review, the chef himself came out and brought a new dish that was much more tasteful and well-made. He explained that it was from him personally and something he thought we would enjoy. That gesture showed genuine courtesy and a willingness to fix the low effect menu item, which I truly appreciated. It made a big difference and showed that the chef cared about the experience after all.

Addah - "Where Street Food Feels Like Home" Addah has quickly become one of my favorite spots for Indian street food. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm smile and a welcoming vibe that makes you feel at ease. The staff are attentive, helpful, and genuinely care about your experience. The food lives up to the promise: crisp, flavorful fries, Papri Chaat that's fresh and tangy, and portions that leave you satisfied. The atmosphere strikes a great balance between casual and inviting, making it just as good for a quick bite as for sitting down with family or friends. Delicious food, friendly service, and a cozy ambiance--Addah really delivers on its tagline: street food that feels like home. Highly recommended!
