No frills just good food! First time at the Indian Bistro. It's the favorite restaurant for…read moresomeone we knew that lived in Arlington Heights. High prise I thought and I think I've gotten the love for Indian Bistro too! There's several tables available for dine in, but I think it's more a takeaway place. They had a table reserved for 8 in the corner by the front and apparently we were the honored party as we had the opportunity to dine there as we needed two tables. It's the best seat I thought since they literally handed the food to me over the counter once it was plated. The staff is super friendly and they made sure that our food was absolutely piping hot upon service. The value is solid. We had the chicken 65, butter chicken, and hakka noodles. While I thought the hakka noodles were a tad on the softer side the flavor was awesome. Butter chicken was rich and flavorful and the chicken 65 was my fav, reminded me of a similar Chinese dish. I'll definitely come back to try more of the menu.

​I recently ordered the chicken biryani, jeera rice, roti, and paneer makhani from Indian Bistro…read more Everything arrived piping hot and tasted incredibly fresh--the paneer makhani in particular was delicious. My only real critique is that the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price. Overall, great quality and taste, just wish the servings were a little more generous!

Amazing food and even better service!…read more We've ordered from Curry NaanStop Indian Grill before, so it was no surprise when my hubby requested it again for Father's Day. I headed over for pickup and the place was packed. There was a line of people waiting for the buffet and honestly... not surprising at all once you taste the food. While I was waiting for our order, the owner came over and offered me what I think was tea or coffee with cream. Such a thoughtful and welcoming touch. It was absolutely delicious and made the whole experience feel extra special. We ordered the garlic naan (because... obviously), Chicken Mughalai, Butter Paneer Masala, and Chicken Tikka Masala. Each entrée came with white rice and every dish had its own unique flavor and spice profile. Rich, creamy, comforting, and full of flavor without feeling repetitive. The food was amazing but the service really stood out. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. We'll definitely be back and next time we're trying the buffet so we can open up our palate and try even more dishes. 5 stars for incredible food and amazing service!

I should've had Curry NaanStop a long time ago but I thought the name was too gimmicky- Big mistake…read more. The food is fast and tastes extremely fresh and flavorful. I love a good Biriyani and that's exactly what I got. The rice was moist and my lamb wasn't overcooked or dried out. My grilled and fried veggies in the rice was fresh as well and hadn't just been sitting in one big pot. I could taste everything individually in the rice and you get an eggg. But what was very noticeable was the price. I've had mediocre food in the area for 4-7.00 more a plate in the area. I also like the variety. Everyplace doesn't offer goat. I'll be back for sure

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!

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!

Try FOI, you'll be happy you did! The food is fabulously fresh & assuredly authentic. (Confirmed by…read moretwo people: One who spent half-a-year in India; the other whom spent over a year in southeast Asia.) We've tried a variety of menu offerings & are looking forward to continue exploring & enjoying these blissful renderings of this cuisine. If you're new to this type of food I do recommend by opting for "mild" spice level to begin with. Then turn up the heat if you find something you like. Also starting with simpler items like buttered chicken, chicken fried rice, aloo gobi masala, garlic cheese naan, lamb rogan josh, samosas, shahi chicken korma or peas pulav might be good dishes to whet your palate. Again, start with "mild" spices then turn up the heat as you find dishes you prefer. This is an enticingly elevated win-win for small business expertise in general as well as Cary-area snackers & bon vivants. Bon appetit!

Great flavor and heat! They asked for the heat level for my chicken biyani and I said 10 (out of 10)...they double checked and I said 10 (due to recent experience at another place where 10 was a 5)...man! I am sweating! I don't usually use the yogurt that came with it...not that I had to put yogurt and I ended up ordering mango lassi. The egg bhuji and chicken seekh kabob had great flavor too. The egg bhuji here tasted more like Chinese spicy scramble egg than what we had at other places. But that flavor was at another level! Wish my mom could make that good :p

However the best entrance is west of that intersection, about 1/4 mile west, along Route 22. This restaurant serves delectable Indian cuisine, which we enjoyed immensely. For appetizers, the tomato soup has anise seasoning (light) and complex flavors for the roasted tomatoes. Appetizer was very spicy but excellent: Chicken 65 from Chennai. Good-sized appetizer, could feed 3-4 people so that you still have room for generous dinner portions. For the main course I had the Hyderabadi Eggplant. Several tiny eggplants softened to perfection in the hot tandoor (stone oven), where it and most dishes and breads and such are cooked, and all hot to the table. For his entree, my husband had the Chicken Tikka, with two delicious sauces. To really fill out our table, we ordered Tandoor Bread Selections, which was huge but we had lots for take home: Sixteen quarter round breads, four each of garlic, cilantro, plain and buttered. Service was attentive but neither rushed nor lax. We will be back. Note: This restaurant also has buffet lunches Monday thru Friday and on Saturdays. Lovely place, a true hidden gem! Recommend!
