Excellent vegetarian vegan food and super service! Must try, you will not regret. Specifically, Chetan will make you feel very comfortable to try any new dishes there. read more

Let me start with the positives. There were a couple of dishes that this place nailed down cold and that was great. Other dishes were good. Everything else... I'd say was OK. So I'm torn between a 3 and a 4. The place came to us with hype and that also set my expectations in a certain direction. So the tandoori paneer tikka sizzler was top notch. So good. Perfect softness, flavor, char, subtle smokey-ness, the grilled veggies. All Mua! So great. Also as appetizers, we had the Dry Gobi Manchurian, which I would say had great flavor, but wasn't prepared fresh. It was still good. And lastly, papdi chaat, which I didn't care for, though others on the table enjoyed it. On the mains, the paneer butter masala was really good also. So 2 smash hits on paneer items. Dal Makhani was good and could have had a bit more. Naan's were fine. I preferred the garlic naan over the chilly garlic naan and lachcha paratha was also fine. The above was all the best parts. Overall the restaurant is fine inside. It's narrower on the inside vs seeing it before we walked in. The thing is it didn't give me a nice clean vibe. And like, my hands kept feeling sticky on their utensils and even the mens room had run out of paper towels. Just all small things that weren't the best feeling. Service was OK. I think it's kind of very casual-comfortable-whatever. Nothing bad happened, though, but all of these small things do add up. Food alone I would've given this a 4+, but as a whole I landed on 3. Maybe as a pick-up joint, this place would work out for the best. But hey, I'm glad we finally made the trek all the out to Aurora and tried it. Well, now I know. Thanks again and look forward to another visit. read more

We visited last night around 8:20 PM, well before the kitchen's 9:00 PM cutoff and the 9:30 PM closing time. The dining room was completely packed, and the moment we walked in, we were made to feel instantly uncomfortable by the overwhelming, unwelcome stares from everyone in the room. ​Every single table was occupied except for one large table and a single uncleaned four-top. Instead of bussing that table, the waitress came over and flatly turned us away, claiming the kitchen was "closing soon"--despite nearly 40 minutes remaining on the clock. ​To make matters worse, when we called the restaurant afterward to address what happened, the management was completely unprofessional and did nothing but offer weak excuses for turning away paying customers. Made to feel unwelcome, turned away early, and dismissed over the phone--we won't be returning. read more

Mid size , recommend making reservation on weekend. Service was slow on Sat afternoon. They actually missed one of our order and have to cancel the order as v were running late. Masala soda - 4/5 - good taste not overly sweet Haryali Paneer - 3.5/5 - dry need more flavorful sauce on it Fried rice - 3.5 /5 - portion where good but dry and lack falvours. Need to order machirian something else to make it less dry Katherine chat- 3/5 - it was very saucy read more

Frankly speaking, we landed here because it was new and open on Christmas Day - with zero expectations at all. What a pleasant surprise to find an extremely clean and warm environment, smiling and polite service, along with excellent tasting food. The Makki ki Roti with Sarson ka Saag was great, for me the saag needed slightly more salt, but overall, an absolute delight. The Chinese bhel was an impulse order, but wow...I'm sure glad I tried it. It's tangy, it's spicy, and crunchy - great combination. But the star of the night - the Amritsari Kulche Chhole. I mean, truly PHENOMENAL. My hubby and mom also got the salted lassi and loved that it was well balanced and not overly salty. All in all, a great experience - will be back soon for more!!!! read more

It does seem like you receive a completely different experience if you make a reservation. What's weird is when you try, it tells you that you can't make a reservation if your party is less than 5 people. We were walk-ins at this location, and we were told at first that they had no spots due to reservation, but then were told we could sit if only we leave in one hour. During our experience, no other tables were occupied, so it was just really strange how they were managing. Service as also incredibly slow - it just seemed like they were confused. The decor was very nice though! Hakka noodles - not worth the price unfortunately! Paneer - was standard Unfortunately, I don't believe I will return! read more

Though the restaurant was very packed, the super all came out very quickly and was very fresh! I was initially worried it would not be spicy enough because our table didn't specify, but everything had a great kick. My favorite Indochinese option was the bang bang noodles. The hariyali paneer was good, but wish the portion was slightly larger to share. Would definetely recommend if you're looking for a new Indian fusion place in Naperville/Aurora area read more

We had an amazing experiencing at Masala Madness. Masala Madness is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The food is outstanding--rich, authentic flavors, perfectly balanced spices, and clearly made with fresh ingredients. Every dish we tried was bursting with taste, especially the indo Chinese sizzlers and kadai paneer sizzler and you can tell they serve freshly baked naan. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the service is attentive without being intrusive. They made milk options for my kids and medium spice level for us and it was all very tasty. Whether you're a longtime lover of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Masala Madness is a must-visit. Can't wait to come back! read more

Absolutely amazing food. Masala Madness is 100% vegetarian, but as a meat-eating Nepali who grew up on flavorful dishes, I can confidently say you won't miss meat here one bit. The Indo-Chinese menu is fire--the flavors hit perfectly. Their vegetarian momos are better than 99% of the ones you'll find anywhere in Chicagoland, meat or not. I've already been back a few times, and every visit is consistently impressive. You have to try the Chinese Bhel (a perfect crunch and spice combo), the Sizzlers (bold and sizzling as promised), and the Eggplant Flatbread (shockingly good). And that's just scratching the surface. Music is on great, service is quick. Huge shoutout to the chef--this place is a flavor bomb. Easily 11/10. Don't sleep on it. read more

If you can get a reservation here on weekends, a Magical Experience awaits!! The food here will touch your soul and we made sure to let the chef know that directly. Pro-tip: Ask for seating in the private area section, book your reservation for when they open 5:30 pm to get this seating, accommodating max party of 5 guests. From the very talented chef Chetan Saini prowling around his kingdom but humbly coming to each table to make sure you are enjoying everything, swapping stories and recommending amazing things to try to actually getting the best in the world Indian food with a well curated ambiance... this place was... MAGICAL! The food was so good that even though we were full, we ordered their Daal makhani and that was over the top too. This place is a must visit!!! read more

New Indian restaurant in the burbs. The amritsari kulcha was my favorite! It was stuffed with potatoes and paneer and paired well with the chole. The bhatura was good and probably the first bhatura I've had that's not dripping in oil. Mango lassi was great. The Hakka noodles tasted good but could've had more veggies. And the first roasted eggplant flatbread appetizer was another favorite. The eggplant had a smoky flavor. The flatbread does take time to make (as stated on the menu) so we actually got all our entrees before this was ready. read more

One of the Most Unhygenic restaurants in Aurora, Naperville. I ordered Veg Biryani. they gave me burnt vegetable biryani. when i informed them they said Ok. really pathetic behavior and food. read more

My family and I ate at this restaurant today. To say the food was top notch will be an understatement. If you are craving for authenticity, this is your place. Each dish had a unique flavor of its own. The saag with corn bread was beyond good and the taste took us back in time to original Punjab. Papri chaat was something to die for. Daal Makhani had a personality of its own and not to mention that delicious desert. I highly recommend this place to anyone who seeks authentic North Indian food. And lastly the husband and wife couple who owns this place are so charming , inviting and friendly . 10 out of 10 for Masala Madness read more

Delicious Indian vegetarian food. Tastes are close to those you would find in India. Such places are usually hard to find around here.

I tried a new Indian fusion restaurant today, and the food was absolutely delicious especially the Malai Soya Chaap and Chana Bhatura., The plan was actually to go to String 2, our favorite ramen spot. But for a change, we decided to check out this new place that opened right next door. I knock off one point since it's purely vegetarian coz, I'm a pure non-vegetarian! read more

I would rate this restaurant more stars if that was possible. I have visited this restaurant a few times and have been impressed every time. This is the most authentic tasting North Indian food I have experienced in the US. Please give it a try and you will not be disappointed. The owner is an awesome gentleman who is always ready for a good chat. read more

Masala Madness absolutely blew us away - the vibe, the music, the atmosphere, the food ... everything was electric! But what truly made the night unforgettable was the incredible service from the owner and Chef Chetan. From the moment we arrived, he went out of his way to make sure we were looked after. When there was a mix-up with our table, he handled it with such professionalism, warmth, and genuine care - turning what could've been a hiccup into one of the highlights of our evening. We were seated at private dining area.His attentiveness, charm, and calm energy made us feel completely at ease and truly valued as guests. Chetan, you're a star! Thank you for making our night so special. We'll 100% be back soon! read more

Great food, amazing service, and even better groovy EDM! Would recommend any dish here!

Exceptional food--the best desi meal I've had in quite some time. I tried the Amritsari Kulcha with chole and the Baigan Bhartha with onion kulcha, and both were outstanding. The care and thought put into designing the menu and preparing each dish really shine through. read more

What a happy place to be at when you are a vegetarian!! Well curated menu with so many varied options for the palette. Each dish we ordered was packed with flavor and the perfect punch. We requested for some add ons to our noodles, and they made sure it was as desired! Spanking new interiors and a great vibe, to just chill and relish your meal! As a pickle lover, their in-house pickle was fresh and flavorful... Loved our dine in experience thoroughly!! The owners were friendly and ensured that we were well taken care of during our visit. Will be going there again :) read more

Never going back - overpriced; ordered a papdi chaat - so disappointing - few stale papdis sprinkled with canned garbanzo- barely any chutney or any toppings - pathetic ! Waste of time and money . read more

Absolutely loved the food! We ordered several vegetarian dishes, and they were all bursting with flavor. Every dish was prepared to perfection. The staff was very polite, and the service was prompt. Our favorites were Baingan Bharta, Malai Kfta, and flatbread--highly recommended them. read more

This is a newer place so they might still be getting in the swing of things, but this was our experience. The appetizers were pretty good and the entrees were okay. Strangely the curry did not come with rice, or they forgot to bring it to us. We also wanted a little more flavor from our entrees. The service was not great. They took our order and gave us the check, but that was about all the interaction we had with our server, even though we asked for a to go box. We ended up leaving without it because he just never came back and the leftovers weren't worth trying to find him. read more

Excellent food ,very good service . There all dishes are great so Everyone should must try & like the interior too .

We really enjoyed our meal at Masala Madness. Compliments to the chef! All the food was nicely seasoned and very delicious. We will definitely being going back to this lovely restaurant. read more

Group of friends went for dinner. while reserving a table we asked if it's ok to stick around for a bit longer since we were meeting after a long time. They said yes! Before our main course items were served, they started cleaning our table and started to ask for bill!!! (We had already placed main course order)They literally kicked us out, they lied that this table has been reserved and they're waiting, while we saw restaurant had few open tables and nobody was waiting for a table. Three of us ordered carry out which they told it will take an hour to prepare as kitchen is very busy! Again a lie. We canceled the order of dessert and all 3 carry out orders which they didnt seem to care at all. Very unprofessional service and attitude of the server! We would not return, even though food is good. read more

The food was incredible! The chef is so talented and gracious. We went with friends and had a lovely meal. Looking forward to going back.
