Order mysore masala dosa was really good. Sambar and coconut chutney good, bot the peanut chutney- tasted stale Paneer dosa was a twist and impressed with the taste. Tried chach - this was so refreshing Tried filter coffee- this was only this that need alot of improvement.

Very frustrating experience…read more I ordered food online and was told it would be ready in 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, my husband went to pick it up, only to be told it wasn't ready and would take another 15 minutes. I called to cancel the order because of the delay, but they told me it couldn't be canceled and that the food would be ready in five minutes. Five minutes later, my husband went back, and the food still wasn't ready. When I called again, they told me the food was already ready and asked where my husband was parked so they could bring it out. Also the man on the phone said that no one was in the restaurants to pick up the food, when clearly my husband went it. At that point, I was extremely frustrated. We had waited over 45 minutes, and when I asked to cancel the order, they refused and said the food was already made. I don't even believe anymore that the food is ok to eat, so we just threw it out. Very poor communication and customer service. After this experience, I would not recommend this place. Mind that none of them spoke good English and it was extremely hard to understand them. Customer is never right in their eyes. Now I have to dispute the transaction with my bank

Slow flavorful food…read more Food is a punch in the face of flavor. I tried both the masala and the biryani, both are good. FYI: most dishes take between 15-25 minutes to cook. Make sure you have time to enjoy the food. We were the only 2 ppl there and like 5 take out orders happened while we were there. Staff are friendly. Place is very clean. I got the egg biryani, the egg is hard boiled but it's got some kinda coating that is a bit chewy to get through. You get 3 eggs.Without the coating I would have loved it. It was hard to cut even with my fork. The biryani is very flavorful and fluffy. You get a ton, the bowl looks small but it filled the entire bottom half of a full size square container (if i had not eaten a bunch before doing my take out).

If you're considering dining at Kritunga Indian Restaurant in the northwest suburbs of Chicago,…read morethink again. My recent experience there was nothing short of a disaster, and I would strongly advise against visiting this establishment. Here's why: Firstly, the management of the restaurant is incredibly unprofessional. The place is run by a group of young individuals who seem to have no understanding of customer service or respect for their patrons. Upon arrival, it was clear that they prioritized larger parties over smaller groups like ours. Despite the restaurant being relatively new, it was evident that they had not taken the time to properly train their staff or understand the basics of running a successful business. Our dining experience started off poorly and only got worse. The staff barely acknowledged us and seemed disinterested in providing any sort of quality service. The lack of attention to smaller parties like ours was not just noticeable but blatant. We felt ignored and undervalued, which set a negative tone for the entire meal. The food, which is supposed to be the highlight of any dining experience, was utterly disappointing. We ordered several dishes, hoping to enjoy the rich flavors and spices that Indian cuisine is known for. However, each dish was tasteless and bland. It was as if no thought or care had been put into the preparation. The flavors were flat, and the textures were off. It was a complete waste of money, especially considering there are numerous other Indian restaurants in the area that offer far superior food. Adding to the misery was the state of the restaurant itself. The floor was slippery, making it hazardous to walk around. It was clear that cleanliness and safety were not priorities here. Both bathrooms were lacking basic amenities, such as tissues, which is unacceptable. Additionally, there was no salt and pepper in the shakers at our table, a small but significant detail that further highlighted the restaurant's lack of attention to basic customer needs. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was also lacking. Instead of feeling welcomed and comfortable, we felt neglected and uncomfortable. The staff's attitude was one of arrogance and indifference, which was reflected in the poor service and subpar food. It's truly a shame because the northwest suburbs of Chicago have a vibrant dining scene with many excellent Indian restaurants. Unfortunately, this place does not come close to meeting the standards set by its competitors. The combination of poor service, tasteless food, and an unclean environment makes this place a regrettable choice for anyone looking to enjoy a meal out. In conclusion, I cannot recommend this place to anyone. It was a thoroughly disappointing experience from start to finish. The management needs to seriously rethink their approach to running a restaurant and prioritize their customers' needs and satisfaction. Until significant improvements are made, I would suggest avoiding this place and opting for one of the many other decent Indian restaurants in the area. Save your money and your taste buds--do not dine here.

It's drab and dreary inside and the wallpaper is yellowing and the fading plastic table covers give it a cheap tacky feeling - I'll order delivery next time and enjoy the good food at home thank you.

We tried to branch out this time and got a coconut curry dish and dal makhani, finished it with a rasmalai -- highly, highly recommend.

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.
