Mango lassi
Nick P.

I came here to try out some South Indian breakfast. I went when they opened on a Saturday so there was a bountiful amount of tables available. I do agree with some reviewers on Google, that service is not exactly the friendliest. No one ever smiles, everyone has a stern look on their face. However, they bring out the food to you quickly and they keep the dining room clean. I ordered at the counter, sat down, and paid when I was done eating. I ordered idli, ghee egg dosa, medu vada, and mango lassi. The food portions were a good size since I got filled up with three dishes. This was my first time having South Indian breakfast so I didn't know what to get. I would come back and try out more items. Prices were reasonable and yes there is a credit card charge if you use debit or credit. They served the same three sauces with each dish, to prevent waste they could have just given me 1 small cup of each one. I had 3 small cups of each sauce. So, with the service I would give this place like a 4.5 out of 5. If you like Indian food, I would recommend coming here. I don't see too many Indian breakfast places. -idli 5 - first time trying these miniature rice cakes. They are firm but easy to break apart. They have different variations of this. -ghee egg dosa 5 - I had a dosa before but this one has a lot more options. The base was crispy and it's soft when you start to break apart pieces to dip into the sauces. You get two of these. -medu vada 5 - kind of like a black lentil fried donut. It was hot, soft, and moist. It had an interesting taste and texture, I saw they have other options of pairing it with a curry.

Small space inside. Service was slow on Saturday evening. We have to call them as door were closed when we reached. Vegetarian. Food review out of 5. Idli Nilla karam - 5 Rava dosa - 4 Vegetarian uttapam - 3.5 - too fluffy for my taste. 2 of them in one plate Special pula with paneer - 4 - spicy for my taste but good flavour. I would like raita little thick so its ease out spice

The upma and masala dosas were very good, and the staff was friendly. The next time I'm in the area I'll eat there again.

It's different a fusion of industrial and East Asian chic. Very, very nice! We were immediately greeted and provided with a seat I love Indian food, but I wasn't familiar with some of the dishes so we tried a few different things. Everything was delicious! The chickpea stew, puffy bread, and samosas were my favorite! The sauces were all delicious as well. What a wonderful little gem! I wish I lived nearby. I would be here every week. We had the opportunity to meet the chef. He was so humble and friendly. We told him how much we enjoyed the food, and he seemed genuinely pleased to hear it. Please come out and support this wonderful local business!

They have absolutely no intention to satisfy customers, ambiance is well just tables and chairs with some posters. I have been to many restaurants where food is not that great but the customer service is top notch and for that I give them credit, but at this place they turned out every small request we made for food for our small kid, we didn't ask for anything for free, we asked to customize, which they straight turned down, they have nothing that is kid friendly here. No way I am recommending this place to anyone. If you are the owner, please contact me. I am really interested in knowing what is the logic behind your strict policies :)

The loudest customer gets their food the fastest. I felt like I was chasing my food's availability. The kitchen wasn't able to make pakoras for some reason but the cashier continued to accept pakora orders! Communication between the staff is non- existent. Between my husband and me, either of us was always at the food counter waiting on our food, essentially we didn't get to eat together. Sorry I'm not coming back.

It certainly seems to be authentic and most people eating here are of that ethnicity so that's a good sign. A lot of the classics on the menu. They have something for most preferences. Basically it's an order at the counter kind of place, and they call out your name when it's finished. It's got a pretty big menu that makes it hard to choose, and that's a good problem. The menu has plenty for meat eaters and vegetarians. A lot is organized by categories. They have curries, dosas, and tons of other stuff. It's about $7 for appetizers. We got the combination of idli and sambar. Basically it's like rice cakes with a spicy soup for dipping into. The rest of the menu is full of stuff. It's about $10 for a dosa. So many interesting flavors of these. I got the Masala Dosa. This is a pretty standard one with potatoes and spices. For sure this is one of the many such places to get Indian cuisine. It's located on Route 59 in the plaza with the movie theater. There's tons of things for vegans and vegetarians.

Call us crazy, but we decided to go out for dinner after the storm last weekend. We were one of…read morethe few b/c Tapri was empty that night - which was the unusual - from what I understand. Food-wise, we were happy with our selections. We started with the Babai Punugulu. I can't tell you what it was b/c the description only said: A south indian snack enjoyed on the street side, served hot with house chutneys. I can't tell you if there was meat / protein / veggie in it or not. TBH - the menu should have described it a bit more - but it was good and we enjoyed the chutneys that came with it. Having just looked it up online - they are: golden, bite-sized fritters are made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal mixed with onions, green chilies, and cumin. For entrees - we got the Butter Tikka Masala (w/ chicken) and Rogan Josh (w/ lamb). We asked for them spicy and I thought the spice level was good, but we could have gone spicier - but one never knows. It came with white rice and we ordered a garlic naan. The naan had a good amount of garlic on it so quite good. We enjoyed both of our entrees - I might have gone chicken for mine instead of lamb next time. The sauces for both dishes were really good and plentiful. The only drawback is the ordering / menu. It's on your phone (no menu in the restaurant) - which makes it hard b/c the phone is small - and you literally have to click on each dish to know what it is. Took a while to order. I would recommend having a hard copy menu - or changing the online portion where you can see the descriptions easily w/o having to click on each one. Overall - a great place with good food.

Good Food, But the Difference in Service Was Hard to Ignore…read more My daughter and I visited on August 30th, and I deliberately waited a few days before writing this review because I wanted to be fair about our experience. We have lived in this area for almost four years after moving from the East Coast. We consider ourselves foodies, especially when it comes to international cuisine, and have explored several Indian restaurants throughout the Naperville area. I first discovered this restaurant when ordering takeout. During that visit, a gentleman whom I believe was the manager was exceptionally kind and even allowed us to sample a few items from the buffet. I told him I would return, and I did. Unfortunately, our dine-in experience was very different. After being seated, we received water, but no one returned to check on us. I finished my first plate, and my daughter finished hers before the naan and tandoori chicken were brought to our table approximately 20 minutes later. I am vegetarian, so the chicken wasn't important to me, but we had almost forgotten about the naan by the time it arrived. My daughter also ordered a simple tea. The waiter acknowledged her order, but the tea never came. What concerned us most was watching what happened with the customers who arrived after us. As new customers were seated, we repeatedly heard the sizzling tandoori chicken being brought to their tables, along with naan, within minutes. My back was turned, but my daughter could see the room and began noticing how quickly the other tables were being served. Meanwhile, no one returned to ours to ask the most basic customer-service question: "How is everything? Do you need anything?" My daughter and I were the only Black/African American customers in the restaurant at the time. I am not claiming to know anyone's intentions, but I would be dishonest if I said the noticeable difference in service didn't make us wonder why our table was being treated differently. We frequently dine at Indian and other international restaurants where we may be the only African American customers present, and that has never been an issue. What made this experience uncomfortable was the obvious difference in the level of service we received compared with the service provided to those around us. Before leaving, I quietly spoke with the gentleman at the register, whom I believe was the manager. When our waiter approached, the manager asked him why my daughter's drink had never been brought. The waiter apologized and appeared ready to get her a tea to go, but by then I declined. I want to acknowledge the manager for his sincere, respectful, and genuine apology. He explained that they were short-staffed because someone had not shown up for work. I appreciated the way he handled my concern, and he is the primary reason I chose not to leave a one-star review. However, being short-staffed does not fully explain why customers who arrived after us, received prompt service while our table was repeatedly overlooked. In a restaurant, teamwork should help fill those gaps. I worked as a waitress many years ago; I am a professional writer, and I own my own business. I know what good customer service looks like, and I understand the importance of how people are treated when they choose to spend their money with your business. The food was good. The service experience was not. After giving it considerable thought, I don't believe I would return for their weekend buffet. There are many Indian restaurants in the Naperville area, and good food alone isn't enough when a dining experience leaves you questioning why your table received a noticeably different level of service. I may consider ordering takeout again because I did enjoy the food, and I sincerely appreciate the manager for listening to my concerns. I hope management receives this review in the spirit in which it is written: not simply as criticism, but as an opportunity to make sure every customer who walks through that door receives the same respect, attention, and hospitality. In comparison, excellent food and customer service have kept me coming back to A2B, Shimla Peppers, Indian Harvest, and Bombay Chopsticks (which also offers an excellent buffet). Unfortunately, after this experience, I don't believe I will add Cuisine of India to my list of favorite restaurants or recommend it to friends or others in the area. Because in business, you never truly know who has just walked through your door. Never judge a book by its cover. You don't know who they are. By Author P
