Delicious food and very good atmosphere. All crew were good and specially the owner. Owner herself came to get our feedback. Certainly, a spot worth stopping over, the food is fantastic and well prepared, the cost is affordable and it is consistently clean in here. Fantastic work.

This is the BEST Indian restaurant in Kansas!! No other restaurant comes even close. You need to go and experience the delicious food they prepare. I have tried great Indian restaurants, but this little jewel would excel in any of those cities. Do yourself a favor and try it!!!

The food was delicious! I asked for the Chicken Tikka mild, and it definitely was. I have ordered from other Indian places where the mild turns out to be so spicy my eyes water. Great food, and the packaging was well done. One of our favorite places to order. Well worth the wait! This restaurant is fantastic, and everyone should go.

Indian grocery store with cafe and a small dine-in area. The food was flavorful and tasted very good. The lemon rice had a lemon-y tang that was strong and satisfying but avoided overwhelming the dish, the soup had a pleasant amount of spice, and the butter chicken tasted wonderful. Wait time was about 20-25 minutes, very reasonable given that everything was cooked fresh. The service was amazing; the owner and employees were very kind and welcoming, and they checked in multiple times to make sure everything was going smoothly and the food tasted good. The store has a wide selection of items, including tea, fresh produce, spices, a wide variety of food items and beverages, and even clothing. One of Lawrence’s best hidden gems!

Excellent overall... we had a feeling that they made food fresh, after we ordered... exquisite taste.. The food was tasty.. Polite staff.

Delicious food! The owner is super sweet, hospitable, and knowledgeable. The team know their customers and their orders really well. Super good food! Well spiced and the Masala Chai is on point! The restaurant was really clean. I wanted to eat more but I was so full!

Nice small store with also cooked indian food and indian clothing inside the store. Its kinda amazing how they have everything in there. Because of this covid we had to do a to go order for our food but it was good.

Best Indian spot in Lawrence, I asked for proper spice and they did not disappoint. Also great dairy free option.

This is my go-to for Indian food and groceries. The food itself is delicious and the staff friendly and helpful, I always recommend it to friends who are in the area. Love this place!!!

Exceptional place to get food when in a rush. The customer service is quick; pricing is affordable, good character. Should try their Kadai Panneer, Will come visit again.

Cant seem to find Indian food here like I did where Im from in metro Detroit. The sauce is thin and not as flavorful. Its still good, but not as good as Im use to.

Excellent food always. Lots of GF and veg The staff was sweet! Will order again. Love this place.

Have been looking for some Indian cooking ingredients and found 99% of them here. So glad I found them.

Excellent overall... we had a feeling that they made food fresh, after we ordered... exquisite taste.. The food was tasty.. Polite staff.

Nice indian grocery store in Lawrence... They even have a restaurant attached to the store .. they keep most of the Indian food on the menu...

We were able to order this food tonight and it was fantastic. We tried Chicken Tikka, Paneer Tikka, Butter Chicken, and Egg Biryani along with two kinds of naan. I have attempted most of these at home, but these were so much better, Cosmos has earned our ongoing business for sure!

Just wonderful. Lots of ethnic grocery items, rice, spices and fresh rare to find product every Friday. Awesome place.

Admittedly, this is the only place I have gotten Indian food from as it wasnt available in my home town but now that Ive tried it, I will be back here many, many times. So far Ive had the Samosa sampler (all of them were great), and the Chicken Vindaloo. The vindaloo was spicy enough to actually hit you with heat but not to hot that you cant eat it all. Garlic naan was also great and I wish I could eat that every day.

Very good place for South Indian food. We went here multiple times and have had a very good experience always. Some of the things we have tried include Dosa Ghee roast, Veg Masala Dosa, Poori with Potato Masala and Mango Lassi. Overall, it is a great place to have a good South Indian meal.

Absolutely delicious, beautiful food. Friendly service, obvious pride in such a great place.

Best Indian in town!!! Food was amazing and spice was perfect

If you are craving a jump start for your diet, the emphasis on Southern Indian cuisine made with fresh ingredients and many spices make for an interesting stop on an Asian culinary journey.

Don’t waste your time. I thought I would try something different, but boy was I wrong. India Palace is the best in Lawrence for a reason. I got the Pakoras and when I opened the box it was not what I was expecting, you would think it would be hard to mess up such a traditional Indian dish

Outstanding service with an excellent selection of regional dishes!

Came back in after their expansion and reopening. Food is exceptional. Loved the masala chat and the pani puri appetizers. Their masala chai is very good and their dessert selection is rather tasty. The julab was delightful, served cold but wonderful infusion of honey and cardamom. Give them a try.

Good Indian food and an overall nice atmosphere. If youre feeling nostalgic about indian culture, it is a great place to go and look around and buy local indian stuff!

Delicious authentic Indian food! 😋

I really loved the take-out we got from Cosmos tonight. Very nice spice level (spicy, but not too spicy), good Naan, good rice. Daughter who hates any kind of spicy food said the chicken nuggets where her favorite from any restaurant. Definitely adding this to my regular rotation.

The Best Indian food in all of Lawrence. Cant wait for dine in to return next week!!

I’ve ordered food from here several times now. They do not disappoint. Their food is super spicy and comes with large portions. I always have leftovers. My favorite item to order is the veg pakora. It looks a little intimidating, but the flavors are remarkable. I especially love to eat it with the sweet sauce it comes with. As a vegan, I appreciate how clear their menu is. I usually order my food from Grubhub or other delivery services, and the app clearly states which items are vegan, vegetarian, etc.The only criticism I have is that when you’re ordering food to go via delivery, the rice and starters come in styrofoam. I’d love to see this restaurant transition into more sustainable packaging in the future!

The chicken tikka masala was pretty good, but the lamb vindaloo and meat samosas were truly fantastic. Its not often I dream about eating food that I didnt make myself, but this place is one of them. Plus the lady working was very nice.

Generally, when we travel, my girlfriend and I try to avoid eating at the same place twice. We joyously broke that rule for Cosmos Indian Cafe. The dosa is excellent .I had the lamb, and it was mouthwatering. These guys are doing a lot of things right.

Fantastic creative and authentic vegetarian dishes in a small venue. Beautiful presentations and attentive staff. Excellent food and delicious flavors. Reasonably priced. Youll want to taste everything on their menu

Amazing food and the owner is super kind. We ordered a dish called thali (I am not sure about the right name) but it included 7 things. You can choose what you want on them. The chicken butter was the best I have ever tried. Sooo good. The naan was also good. All the food was delicious I just cannot remember the name of the specific dishes we tried but I fell in love with the chicken butter. They are wearing a mask all the time and social distancing was followed as well. Coming back for that butter chicken!

Haven’t had food this good since I was in Chennai!!! Idli were delicious, mango lassi to die for chai tea like it is meant to be.

I come here mostly for shopping. They have a large variety of ingredients you cant find at your average grocery store. If you cant find it, ask. I had a recipe for paneer kabobs, and they had everything I needed. Good prices, good service. I havent tried their menu yet, but it smells great!

We ordered to go. When we opened the food at home, found black mold on tope of source. Scary. Hygiene and food safety is huge concern.Health inspector should go there to take a look.

Decided to give this place a try after reading about in on a Facebook group. I was told my order would be ready in 45 minutes but I waited an additional 45 minutes in the store(1 1/2 hours total). Food came out cold. I asked specifically for extra tamarind sauce and didn’t receive any at all. My tikka Masala had about five small pieces of chicken in it. This is not the best Indian food in Lawrence, but it did help me better appreciate the fact that I do live so close to the best in town, India Palace.

Fantastic food! Delicious!

Had a lovely experience tonight ordering takeout. It was fast and delicious. The packaging was also well done.We devoured garlic naan, lamb vindaloo, and butter chicken. All of it was great, but I especially loved dipping the naan in the vindaloo sauce (which was spicy in the best sort of way).Really happy to have a good Indian takeout place on the West side.

Very stale groceries. Everything in the refrigeration section looked dusty and old. Owner/person that was working in the kitchen was not wearing a mask. Would not recommend.

Great chicken tikka Marsala and lots of wonderful items available in store in their grocery section. I would recommend stopping in to place your carry out order and browse their shop while waiting on your food!

Been shopping here occasionally for a few years (theyre the only place in town for curry leaves or methi), but finally got take-out thanks to the Restaurant Week deal.The desserts, appetizers, and korma were all good, but the biryani was spectacular. Compares pretty favorably to biryani Ive had in Houston, the middle east, and India. Even if you cant deal with spiciness (its got a kick), pour that raita over it and power through - its worth it.

Been looking for a great Indian place in Lawrence. I had the tikka misala and was blown away. Seriously great food with just enough spice that it isn’t overwhelming.

Very friendly staff and great food, well stocked and organized grocery section

Absolutely horrible, would not recommend this place to even my worst enemies. Ordered a multitude of things all barely edible. Maybe it was an off day for them, but with so many other good Indian restaurants in Lawrence you should avoid this place. They paid to get bots to give them good reviews on google.

We enjoy every visit, new items, items you cannot find in the average grocery store. The staff are very helpful and genuinely friendly, but not over bearing like many store associates. They expanded the market. It seems as if it gets better every time I visit. Keep up the good work.

Incredibly delicious food, fantastic customer service

My first time eating at Cosmos via DoorDash. The main dishes were just fine. My naan was stale, the boba tea tapioca pearls were hard, and they subbed Gulab jamun instead of the kheer that I ordered. Overall, parts of the meal were really disappointing and I likely wont order from there again. This is sad as we now only have this one restaurant for Indian food in Lawrence.

The food they serve is overpriced boxed and canned food that they sell in the grocery store, which they clearly microwave and sell as “fresh” and “handmade”. There is nothing fresh or quality about the food they serve. I spent $80 on what was supposed to be a special dinner for my partner and I for food that wasn’t even edible. It was worse than school cafeteria food - the 5 star reviews are fake friends. Learn from my mistake and take your business elsewhere. The bindi was a disgusting glob of mushy, brown, clearly frozen and microwaved okra that was totally flavorless except a strange sour taste. It tasted and looked weeks old and bad. My partner said his chicken dish tasted like those cheap cans of stew from the $1 store. The naan was clearly reheated from the frozen bags they sell, and were served hard, cold and plain (despite ordering the butter and garlic). The samosas were soggy and the filling seems to have been scooped up from some old dish they needed to throw out. I have never asked to return food, but this was so over the top, obviously bad food that I called and asked if I could return for a refund. The owner argued with me, implying I was lying and saying “it can’t all be bad” (it was) and refused to give a refund or do anything to make it right. I was a fan of this place for the grocery store, before, and never left without spending less than $50. After this experience I will never go back, and warn others not to be duped into spending your hard earned money on the boxed food they sell and then reheat in their restaurant and pass off as “fresh”. This is the worst food I’ve ever been served at a restaurant (and I’m including fast food). Go to one of the Indian places downtown. The prices are the same, and they aren’t selling reheated food from cans and boxes. The owner had an opportunity to keep a loyal costumer by allowing us to return our uneaten food for a refund or credit. But the food is in the trash where it belongs. With such deceptive and unethical business practices, they should be shut down(Their comment that they “can’t find my order” is another indication of their flat out lies. Funny - they could find it when I talked to them on the phone that night and had just spent $80 in the store)

All the food is absolutely delicious! My girlfriend brought me on a date and Ive been hooked ever since. I even brought my grandmother here and she was impressed. The food is flavorful and the staff is friendly. Will definitely be returning again for more positive experiences.

This place is inside a Indian grocery store. I often come here and in here for samosas, which are excellen. It also has an excellent selection of groceries from India and they have expanded now for lot more varieties from different countries that you cant find anywhere else. It also has a nice selection of frozen meals. Has lots of rice. And the staff is very nice. A must to visit place.

The Cosmos Indian Cafe food for our birthday gathering was amazing. We are so pleased we decided to go with Cosmos. They made three outstanding meals for 50 people and everyone loved the food! Each dish was delicious and had just the right amount of flavor. We highly recommend Cosmos for your next event!

This place has fantastic service and tasty menu. One of my favourite spots in town. The food arrived fast and fresh and the prices were fair. Highly recommended.

I was totally unaware about the restaurant until I got the dish. THAT was really delicious and I found same taste as in my Back home.. I can suggest to all everyone to visit and checkout exact Indian yummy food in very less time.. Staff were polite and environment was clean.

They have everything you need for Indian kitchen you name it they have it..great customer service. Indian cafe inside is a big plus. They do have clothing, henna art, great selection of incense. Beautiful set up. Amazing.

Eclectic collection of foods and spices,great service,super unique flavourful food. Love this place. Always so much fun to shop here!

Nice people, good selection of groceries.

Wide selection of North and South Indian cuisine served in a quiet, low-key environment. The food is unimpeachable, but I especially love the staff, who are very familiar with food sensitivities, particularly gluten; they announce their gluten-free options right on the menu. Good for groups that include different dietary restrictions.

Took a chance on this place while visiting Kansas and was so happy we did! Very good Indian. The spice level is no joke. Service was very friendly and attentive service.

Overpriced grocery store. Wont go again.

We love Indian food. So it doesnt take much to like an Indian restaurant. Always friendly. The owner come and visit at the table. Prices are good value

Completely impressed! The smell on entering was a gentle, not over-powering odor of the spices. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary,look here. They carry many products you just can`t find any place else from rice to incense..

Last night we went to this fine place, which friends recommended to us. We had a delightful experiencethere with delicious dishes, a courteous team.. We put this place in our list and we will no doubt visitagain very soon. Highly recommended.

Amazing, authentic, delicious. Tiny second floor restaurant, a hidden gem. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is outstanding. I have been to Cosmos Indian Café several times, it never disappoints. Never disappoints. Highly recommend if you love Indian food!

We stopped by while visiting Kansas and we enjoyed the experience there. Food was great, and came rather quick, I liked all the presentation of the dish too.And it became pack with so many customers with in few minutes, and seemed like a popular place for local people too. Would definitely recommend.

Seriously disappointed. I only tried this place because of the rave reviews. The rice was under cooked and dry. I love and only eat basmati rice. The curry lamb was cooked right meat was tender, The curry was too spicy and I ordered mild. I do eat Indian food a lot, usually from Singhs in Orlando or any of the Taste of India restaurants. The Naan was not fresh it had hard pieces like day old bread. Nothing beats Taste of India curry lamb. Fresh basmati rice and fresh garlic Naan.

Mostly tasty food.Poor service.Very slow providing dinner.Had to tackle them to see about dessert.They didnt have toilet paper.Never again.

Delicious! My friend gave a great recommendation for Vegetable Korma. Full of FLAVOR!! I love theirBasmati rice!!!PS If you don't like Spicy, ask if the dish can come mild before you are served ;)

Great food for a moderate price. Very authentic and very generous with the quality and portion of meat. Great dessert and variety with meat foods, vegan, and gluten free options.

Good friendly staff. But food was horrible. We ordered couple of vegetarian entries, which were made where not at all authentic. They were made from same premixed stuff. Breads were not freshly prepared either, rather were made from Frozen packets. Food was too spicy and very low quality. We will not be getting food from here again.

Man, I must have ordered on a bad day. I LOVE Indian food and eat it regularly. Usually I go to two downtown. Thought I’d try something new. They sent me some old, cold, dry, coagulated food. Really bad. Really. Sadness.

This place is a gem. The grocery part is great, if you know what you are looking for. However, the bestpart is the restaurant. Delicious chicken biriyani no should miss. Love this place and the people.

My daughter and I had a truly AMAZING meal tonight at Cosmos Indian Cafe. The service was very good, the food was heavenly. The owner asked us about our likes and dislikes as well as food allergies before suggesting the perfect dishes to us as we are new to Indian food.Thanks for a great meal! We will be back!

The food here is amazing! My favorite is the vegetable korma. I also love the thali option and you get to sample more of the food for not much more!

A wonderful woman is running the store, great service. She made our long travel amazing with good food on time. Many thanks for your kindness Mem

Great food! Staff was very nice too. But forreal great food! Everything has so much flavor for a reasonable price. Cannot recommend enough

Clean place, very good food and nice wait staff. Im not big on Indian food but everything I had was very good and not overly spiced. Chicken Biriyani has very authentic and good aroma to it…

Food was great. Although they are known for their South Indian food, their North Indian food wasamazing. The service was quick and the food was amazing quality. You will rarely find a restaurant of thisquality in both service and food.

Food was first class ! Biryani was totally authentic and flavorful. Would stand up to competition from the heart of Hyderabad !

Various aromatic spices and delectable international treats!! Staff is friendly and the pricing is fair! The store is amazing with its new look.

I love this place! From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is cheerful and warm. The staff is so nice and the air is filled with a fragrant of mouthwatering scent. The food is always delicious! So rich and hearty, and perfectly spiced. The fixed price menu is a great deal- I highly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala were packed with flavor and spices, and delicious.

Excellent food! Buffet or from the menu! The best Indian food Ive ever had. Wonderful service and a beautiful restaurant. One of my most favorite places to eat.

Excellent. Tastes like a hybrid of North and South Indian cuisine. Dosa,Biriyani are real authentic and taste wonderful. You can not get the taste anywhere in Lawrence.

The environment is a little dive-y but the food is AWESOME! We got take out and they threw in a little extra chicken soup and crunchy bread. It was also more affordable than India Palace, which is a bonus, and is a real family business, which I liked supporting. Will definitely be back!

Love this place and service. Food is always good, authentic and never had any what so ever issues.Keep up the good work.

Amazing experience! Been there multiple times and the food is always good. Served hot and authentic! Just like I would expect in country! It is a sit down restaurant, since the cook the food fresh to order. But it is worth it!

This has one of the best Lamb Biryani's I have ever eaten. The Lamb just melts in the mouth - Notovercooked or under cooked, simply perfect. Also the Rasmalai was out of this world. Highlyrecommended.

Biryani was excellent. Food flavors were unique and had an upscale vibe. Distinctive. Must try. I kepteating.

Excellent cuisine! Loved everything! The owner, who is an incredible and charming lady brought out our drinks and chatted with us as well as other tables. That genuine hospitality andpersonal touch is a rare find and greatly appreciated! Im not from Lawrence, but when Imback I will definitely dine there again!!

Lovely people working here and the chicken tikka masala is amazing! Even when order food online, always food is fresh and hot. Love that.

I love coming in here. Very good selection of products and very nice staff.

One of my orders wasnt delivered and they were unresponsive on the phone. Will not be ordering from here again.

The food is full of flavor and, well cooked. The seasoning! The biriyani had to be one of the best seasoned and, flavorful food I had in a while. I will definitely be back for more.

The cosmos Indian cafe never disappoints. It is quiet and classy, and the service is attentive but not obnoxious.

The food is excellent and it has a home cooked ambiance. It makes me nostalgic for the time I spent in India -- at least the good parts of that trip. I especially recommend the vegetable korma. Their vegetarian cuisine is better than the meat dishes in most places I could name. People are friendly, and its a small shop, so its probably better to call ahead if you have a large group/order.

The food here is amazing! My favorite is the vegetable korma. I also love the Dosa combo option and you get to sample more of the food for not much more!

Delicious, beautiful setting and fast food! Very satisfied for my first visit.

Cosmos Vegetable Korma is one of my favorites. Ive had it in other restaurants, and even made it at home, but its never as good as Cosmos.The service is friendly I love this place. Sweet Owner and staff. Its one of the few unique, really good, special places Lawrence has to offer.
