Sairam Om: Best Indian Cuisine in Champaign IL I've been meaning to write this review for a while now, but I certainly haven't forgotten how much I enjoyed my experience at Sairam Om. Now it's been a few months since Sairam Om opened and I visited the restaurant in west Champaign, and there are reviews all over the internet supporting my own opinion of the cuisine: it's the best Indian food in Champaign. In fact, it's the best Indian food I've ever had. Unlike some other reviewers, I've never actually been to India so I can't comment on its authenticity. But I can say that it is absolutely divinely delicious. I'm not sure what the difference between the food at Sairam Om and other Indian restaurants is exactly, but to me the food at Sairam Om tastes fresher and richer in flavor. It's pe... 12/31/2010

Where to Get Deep Dish Pizza? Papa Dels in Champaign IL In Champaign-Urbana, if you want to know where to go to get good Chicago-style deep dish pizza you ask the college students, and the answer will be Papa Dels in Champaign. Pictured here is the pizza that my husband and I just enjoyed for dinner tonight, and will be enjoying tomorrow, as well. It's a "super stuffed" pizza with pepperoni and spinach- a winning combination, in my opinion -and it's what we order from Papa Dels every time. Super stuffed means there's a crust on the bottom and another crust on top...it's not recommended if you're on a diet, for obvious reasons :-) Other menu options include thin crust pizza, Sicilian pizza, pasta dishes and sandwiches. When you have a hankering for Papa Dels, you can have it delivered, o... 09/18/2010

The Avenue Bed & Breakfast, Champaign, IL It really doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of bed & breakfast lodging in general or not; you will not want to leave after a stay at The Avenue Bed & Breakfast near downtown Champaign, Illinois. About two years ago my husband and I were married at The Avenue Bed & Breakfast.

And it turns out, it was. The home itself is absolutely gorgeous and classic. It isn't kitschy like so many other bed & breakfasts are. The Avenue is tasteful, historic, beautiful and cozy...it's perfection. But not only was the atmosphere itself just what we were looking for, Paul & Catherine ... 09/11/2010
