Robert and I love going to buffets but when we're craving something at night and we want to have…read moresome Indian food this is where we come to get just an entrée or two and our favorite appetizers and of course butter naan. The food is always piping hot. You're not gonna get any ice cold samosas here that's for sure. The service is always very friendly and the ambience is very casual. This restaurant is mainly for carry out but I like that they have some tables because Robert and I always prefer eating our food hot and fresh right at the restaurant. You can get your food anywhere from mild to very spicy you let them know the level of spice that you want. That is one big reason why I prefer coming here over an Indian restaurant with a buffet. Another big reason I like coming here is because they make it fresh and I can have them remove tomatoes from a recipe that has tomatoes in it. I highly recommend coming here. Don't think twice just come in and try something. It will be your favorite Indian restaurant especially for late night comfort dining.

5 stars for Tabla Indian Restaurant in Schaumburg…read more This was my first visit today, and the food was absolutely delicious. I tried the Paneer Taka Tak - which was very tasty and flavorful, the paneer was crumbled into smaller pieces, not the traditional cubes you see at a lot of Indian Restaurants which was pretty unique. The Malai Kofta was also tasty, the sauce portions are pretty big, rice is an additional cost. There is plenty of seating inside the restaurant and they have an extensive mocktail and alcoholic drink selection. The last item I tried was the Mango Lassi - very tasty. Overall, I definitely recommend a visit to Tabla Indian Restaurant- great food!

That said, they have an interesting menu, including burgers and pizza. While I wasn't exactly wowed, I wasn't disappointed. Their chicken biryani could have been a bit more flavorful for my taste and the chicken makhani was pretty good (even though I ordered paneer). It's a small restaurant with pleasant service. In the end, it's not one of those "one-n-dones" for me. I'll go back at some point. In the meantime, why don't you have a try? Peace!

If you're considering dining at Kritunga Indian Restaurant in the northwest suburbs of Chicago,…read morethink again. My recent experience there was nothing short of a disaster, and I would strongly advise against visiting this establishment. Here's why: Firstly, the management of the restaurant is incredibly unprofessional. The place is run by a group of young individuals who seem to have no understanding of customer service or respect for their patrons. Upon arrival, it was clear that they prioritized larger parties over smaller groups like ours. Despite the restaurant being relatively new, it was evident that they had not taken the time to properly train their staff or understand the basics of running a successful business. Our dining experience started off poorly and only got worse. The staff barely acknowledged us and seemed disinterested in providing any sort of quality service. The lack of attention to smaller parties like ours was not just noticeable but blatant. We felt ignored and undervalued, which set a negative tone for the entire meal. The food, which is supposed to be the highlight of any dining experience, was utterly disappointing. We ordered several dishes, hoping to enjoy the rich flavors and spices that Indian cuisine is known for. However, each dish was tasteless and bland. It was as if no thought or care had been put into the preparation. The flavors were flat, and the textures were off. It was a complete waste of money, especially considering there are numerous other Indian restaurants in the area that offer far superior food. Adding to the misery was the state of the restaurant itself. The floor was slippery, making it hazardous to walk around. It was clear that cleanliness and safety were not priorities here. Both bathrooms were lacking basic amenities, such as tissues, which is unacceptable. Additionally, there was no salt and pepper in the shakers at our table, a small but significant detail that further highlighted the restaurant's lack of attention to basic customer needs. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was also lacking. Instead of feeling welcomed and comfortable, we felt neglected and uncomfortable. The staff's attitude was one of arrogance and indifference, which was reflected in the poor service and subpar food. It's truly a shame because the northwest suburbs of Chicago have a vibrant dining scene with many excellent Indian restaurants. Unfortunately, this place does not come close to meeting the standards set by its competitors. The combination of poor service, tasteless food, and an unclean environment makes this place a regrettable choice for anyone looking to enjoy a meal out. In conclusion, I cannot recommend this place to anyone. It was a thoroughly disappointing experience from start to finish. The management needs to seriously rethink their approach to running a restaurant and prioritize their customers' needs and satisfaction. Until significant improvements are made, I would suggest avoiding this place and opting for one of the many other decent Indian restaurants in the area. Save your money and your taste buds--do not dine here.

Vanam is an expansive suburban restaurant serving authentic Southern Indian dishes with some surprises like Bisi Bele Bath (a Karnataka staple and uncommon stateside) which was authentic and tasty (albeit loaded with Ghee!). Masala Dosa was acceptable though the dosa batter could use some rework (Dosa texture was a bit off though the Masala was tasty). Chutneys also were tasty with fresh coconut in the main one. The Medu Vada/Sambar was another winner with flavorful, authentic Sambar with traditional veggies (Drumsticks indicated Vanam means business!). The Mirchi Bajji was a bit under seasoned but still crispy on the outside (batter and filling could have used a couple grains of salt). Service was prompt and everyone was very courteous. There seemed to be multiple birthdays being celebrated on this particular evening based on the music played out when the complementary? dessert was served! Prices were reasonable for the quality and service. Menu goes beyond traditional fare and includes Jain and Indo Chinese options. Overall, this is an excellent find and we hope to be back despite the long trek deep into Schaumburg. Highly recommended!

This is the classic item of lentils in a sauce. Good flavor. The bad thing is we had to pay extra to get sides of naan or rice. Got lots to choose from and they're also open late.

We were hungry so we went in and tried one of the burritos and the Bombay sandwich, both of which were absolutely amazing. After having those, we decided, "You know what? Let's just grab something from here for dinner," so we ordered a vegetable Manchurian. Manchurian is something I don't typically order. It's not my favorite, but my wife loves it so I went along with it and some sauce. The Manchurian was actually so good that I would have it right here again. The samosas were pretty darn good. They were fresh, and the exterior was perfect and crisp. The masala inside was mild and light. It was still not the kind I really like, but the flavor was still better than some of the recent ones I've had at other places. A day or two later, we went again and this time got one of their cheese toasts with bell peppers, cheese, etc. That was pretty good too. Turns out their wrap is not Mumbai- or Bombay-based, but something from Ahmedabad in India, which explains the buttery goodness on the pav. Definitely going to be coming here at least another 2 or 3 times before we leave the area
