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.

That said, they have an interesting menu, including burgers and pizza. While I wasn't exactly wowed, I wasn't disappointed.

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!

After a long wait, we have finally found an authentic South Indian spot in the Northern/North…read moreWestern suburbs! 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!

Coming in here the first time it was surprising how much room there is inside. It's got plenty of tables. The counter at the front is where to pay and you can get some great stuff there as well. It also happens to be a bakery. We came in to eat lunch. It's about $6 for the cheapest entrees. Of course these aren't including naan or rice. I got the Khatti Daal. 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. It's got tons of great authentic stuff. There's plenty to get for vegetarians.

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

Choice Indian Restaurant is one of the many places to get this cuisine around here. It has more for specific dietary needs, more than every other one though. Good concept to cater to certain folks. The quality and quantity needs lots of work. All the food is okay for vegetarians so it's a good thing if one is looking for this stuff to eat. It's got a few specific ones marked on the menu including Jain. There's only a few that are dairy free entirely though. Also expensive. These aren't even including naan or rice. It's about $5 to get a side of it. That sucks. It's about $17 for the cheapest entrees. We found a few that were good except for the high prices. Good flavors. I got the Lasooni Palak. This is spinach gravy with garlic and spices. Could go here again if the prices weren't so crazy. It's closed Mondays. The menu is all okay for vegetarians.

Choice is a refreshing addition to Schaumburg's vegetarian food scene. What stood out immediately…read morewas the sheer variety--the menu includes Gujarati comfort food, Indo-Chinese dishes, chaat, sandwiches, naan, fusion creations, drinks, and their original Bhakri Pizza concept. Our favorite dish was easily the honey chilli water chestnuts. They were crispy, sweet, spicy, and one of the most unique vegetarian starters we've tried around Chicagoland. The paneer angara had a delicious smoky flavor, while the Indo-Mexican chaat was a playful and enjoyable combination of flavors. The Peri Peri Paneer Crunch Sandwich lived up to its name with plenty of spice, texture, and crunch. We also tried the Pav Bhaji Fondue, Bhakri Pizza, Beetroot Kabab Kofta, Chur Chur Naan, and Haryali Naan. The Triple Schezwan Rice didn't quite hit the mark for us, but that was the only real miss in an otherwise enjoyable meal. The Mango Mastani was the perfect finish. It was rich, delicious, and immediately transported me back to the neighborhood juice centers I grew up visiting in Delhi. Choice is especially worth visiting when you're dining with a group because there is genuinely something for everyone to try. We're looking forward to returning and discovering more of the menu.
