    We always order Home style boneless chicken. We love it. Today what came is not honestyle boneless that we have always had. Today I even ordered two quantity as we have friends for dinner at our place. Very disappointed. Not sure if the Chef changed or it is a mistake. Not tasty at all. Opposite of any good chicken I have had not just homestyle boneless

    Butter Chicken

    This was a really cute restaurant tucked in an unassuming strip mall, the food was very flavorful and tasted like it was made fresh. However, there were multiple flies flying around the restaurant at every table, we asked the server if they had a fly swatter or something else to handle this but unfortunately they did not really act on it. This definitely made the food a bit harder to enjoy.

    Chicken 65
    Charles W.

    On a quiet Monday evening, the boys and I were in search of an authentic Indian restaurant in Naperville that would actually be open and serving at such a late hour in the suburbs (8 pm). Being quite hungry and a group of five men, we decided to order a few appetizers, such as the amazing Chicken 65, along with a stir-fried dish featuring chili peppers. The curry had an incredibly flavorful and spicy taste, even though the spice level was kept mild due to my presence. The naan served was both delicious and garlicky, making it the perfect accompaniment to the various curries. The biryani, on the other hand, was fluffy and packed with flavor. We topped off our meal with a selection of desserts, each one decadent, sweet, and delicious. This is a great place to get authentic and delicious Indian food at reasonable prices (well, compared to the big city).

    Vegetable Makhani

    Among the best places for Indian food around here. Deccan Spice is one of my favorites in Naperville at lunch. It has a pretty good selection of vegetarian friendly items such as eggplant and lots more. Has authentic flavors. The only bad thing is it can get slow, and entrees can get pricey. Checked it out recently with a female friend. It was lunch and it wasn't busy so we got our orders taken almost immediately. This is one of those restaurants where they are ready for you to order, but after that they slow things. Entrees don't come with bread. Ordering a side of naan is $3 for a few pieces I had the Vegetable Makhani. It's $11.99 for a large amount that comes with basmati rice. This is fresh vegetables cooked in cashew nut sauce and tomatoes. It had a pretty nice spice to it. She had the Chana Masala. It's a classic Indian menu item. This has a very good smell. All the food is good here. It could improve a few things to make it better like including bread with entrees because these are definitely better with naan. The prices also kind of are too much especially for some of the entrees and you won't get much in these.

    We wanted Indian food so we decided to give them a try. We had a party of 8 and they were able to seat us right away. Here are some pros: the food was good. The food came out in a timely manner. Here are the cons: this place is literally disgusting. Like feet stick to the ground, fingerprints on surfaces, black floors, and unsanitary bathrooms. I'm actually terrified to think about what the kitchen looks like if the main dining room is in this condition. Second con: service. SLOW and non existence of service at some times of the evening. Empty water glasses. Some of the food was really spicy which that could have been our fault. But it would help if on the menu it stated which items were spicy. Sadly we will not be back because of the unsanitary conditions of this place. Rating is really a 2.5

    Ordered take out from the online menu. Food was ready when we arrived. All the orders were prepared as expected. Overall the food was good. One of the chicken orders was so dry we didn't finish it. Prices seemed to be inline with the area.

    Do you offer a lunch buffet on weekdays? And is all-vegetarian? How much? Thank you!

I wanted to try the Buffet, to get a feel for the place-the Yelps here said there were lines to get in for the weekend buffet, so I made reservations for one just after opening. When I arrived, the place was almost empty... What can I say? Everything on the buffet was exemplary. A full array of dishes and condiments. I sampled most every item on the board, and I must say the flavors were RAMPAGING! There were about 5 different rice preparations on the board. I tried 3 of them-all great. A good selection of condiments. A few of the dishes were quite spicy-hot, of which I was very glad; however-be advised these dishes were not marked as such. Oddly missing were any sort of Achaar (Indian Pickles). Only possible gripe: all of the proteins were chicken except for one shrimp curry; one usually finds a lamb dish in the mix--then again it was right after opening. Not complaining--the chicken items were all delicious. The only thing I didn't finish was an Idli I had anointed with a sesame sauce, It was ok, but I wished I had hit it with one of the other sauces offered. Plus, it was the last thing on the plate. I was ger-stuffed by then. On a separate board were Pani Puri, and a few desserts (including the BEST Gulab Jamun I've ever had). An almost crisp outer shell with a positively creamy inner. Outstanding. Masala Tea and Mango Lassi were also on the board. I made a foolish faux pas. At the end of the dessert table was a tapped container with a greenish liquid in it, next to the container was a supply of paper cups. Believing it to be a beverage, I took a small sample and sipped. As the spicy savory liquid hit my palate, registering "This is some type of sauce, not a beverage, you IDIOT!", one of the managers standing there (who saw me taking the sip) gently advised it was the sauce for the adjacent Pani Puri. Didn't I feel like a compleat idiot! He kind of laughed at me (deservedly). The sauce was actually delicious, and I dont regret the sip. I assured the manager as much and we had a nice chat. Excellent service throughout. Throwing a well-deserved 5 for bread and circuses. This may be the finest Indian Restaurant I've ever been to. Can't wait to return. Oh, and the place was absolutely packed with Indian folks as I left.

There was a wide selection of dishes in the buffet, sushi and Habachi stations. However, when we went this past Friday, one section of the buffet was completely empty/closed off. There was one tray of sushi when there used to be several. The limited dishes that were available looked like the trays were filled sparingly and did not look fresh. The soups all had a film stretched across the pots and the edges were dried and crusty. The ice cream station and desserts stayed the same, but I felt guilty making that the main part of my meal. The staff was friendly, and despite the appearance and lack of variety/quantity, the food was ok. The restaurant is spacious and has generous seating so it can accommodate large groups. If you need a quick way to feed a lot of people, this would be the place!

Food is average, what you'd expect of a Chinese buffet. Hibachi is not exceptional. The meats are cut too thick, so they were tough. I would stick with the seafood and eggs. And they could have used more soy sauce or whatever sauce they usually put on the hibachi, cuz mine came out pretty bland, despite the heaping amounts of garlic and hot sauce I had put on it. The worst of it, and the reason for the 1-star. My friend witnessed a server pick up ice cream that had fallen off the bucket WITH HER HANDS and put it back in the tub. That's gross. And I witnessed a server toss food that spilled out of the buffet tray back into the tray before wiping down with an old rag. Another gross. So I stuck with eating the hibachi and not touching anything from the buffet line. This kind of hygiene is unacceptable.

A server named Anny (or something close to that) was incredibly rude, dismissive, and openly condescending from the start. We asked a simple question about what drinks were included, and instead of answering like a normal server, she responded with "Drinks are drinks." That kind of attitude is unacceptable in any customer-facing job. It was lazy, disrespectful, and unnecessarily insulting. Only after I directly called out her response did she finally explain the drink options, and even then she did it with obvious irritation, like we were bothering her by asking a basic question. It got even worse when I went to the front desk to complain. Rather than apologizing or trying to fix the situation, she immediately became defensive and claimed, "I told you, you just didn't hear me." That was simply false. She did not properly explain anything until after I challenged her rude behavior. Then, instead of letting the issue go, she came back to our table looking angry and resentful, and gave us a completely insincere explanation. The worst part was her final comment: "You can say whatever you want. You already said it anyway." Then she walked away impatiently. That response alone tells you everything you need to know about her professionalism. This was not a misunderstanding. This was not "bad communication." This was a server with a nasty attitude who clearly does not know how to treat paying customers with basic respect. I've had normal service here before from other staff, so this stood out even more. One employee like this is enough to ruin the entire experience and make customers not want to come back. Management should take this seriously. Staff like this do real damage to a business.
