I have enjoyed almost all the food from this restaurant. It is consistent and delicious. I especially enjoy the Lamb Byriani, Saag Paneer and Chicken 65. Food temperature is always hot and tastes fresh. Glad we found this place! read more

We had lunch there yesterday and split the Lamb Kadai. It was great and we had leftovers so it was a really large portion. The lamb was VERY tender and you could cut it with a plastic fork. We were told it came from Butcher on the Block which I though was cool that they supported another local business. The owner was really friendly and welcoming to us. Thumbs up. read more

This place is below average for Indian food, the reason why this place has good reviews is most of the customers are non indians, hence dont know the difference between good indian food and bad indian food. The reason why this restaurant is actually in business is because there is no competition in the area, and they are serving out Reused bad food, the owner knows exactly what im talking about. There biryani is terrible, just rice and curry, the food is an embarrassment to india. On top of that the prices are high for stale food. I took my colleagues from work there and it was there first time trying indian food, it was total embarrassment, to the nation of india, and indian food. read more

I'm updating my review after over a year. It was five stars before, I only wish I could give more now. I had a favorite Indian restaurant, then I tried here and it won me over. I've gotten food here fairly regularly and recently the food has changed. It was the best Indian food I've had before, now the food here has blown the original stuff away. It's so incredible I had to update my review. I honestly didn't think it could get any better but it's really that good. If anyone is looking for a great dish the chicken kadai is phenomenal. The best flavor I've ever had. This used to be my favorite Indian food, but this is hands down my favorite food overall. Bravo read more

Loved the butter chicken! I ordered it with a side of rice and garlic naan. I got the mango lassi to drink. Best comfort meal.

Last night was my first time trying Indian cuisine and it was amazing. The butter chicken and especially the chicken tikka masala were so good that I've been craving it ever since. When we picked it up for carry out the man who helped us at the register was incredibly kind, making the experience even better. 10/10 will definitely keep coming back! read more

We are newer in town and still looking for our favorite local Indian restaurant. Entrees do not come with rice. I am shocked at how expensive the breads are for the quantity that you get. The saag was tasty but a bit more watery than my preference. I don't think this is the one. read more

Checked this place out. The people were super friendly, and the food was delicious!!! So happy to have this Indian restaurant close. Finally something that isn't bland "American" food, or yet another Mexican place. We will definitely be going back often!!!! read more

Everything has been delicious. We have enjoyed vegetable korma, mughlai chicken and the butter chicken .We attended a wedding in Mumbai at the Taj last year and the food here was definitely on par !! We look forward to ordering again very soon! read more

Just had some tandoori chicken, paneer makhani, garlic naan, and samosas delivered during this stay-at-home order and it blew us away. Everything was seasoned perfectly, tasted amazing, and we couldn't get enough. I wish I'd ordered the gulab jamun we were considering since I imagine it's just as good. Also no-contact delivery was aces. read more

This was the first time I ordered Indian food. I had Indian food a couple of years ago at a yearly gathering and loved it. I had a taste for something different because of the Stay at home Order. I found them on Google Map, so I called and ordered. The person who answered the phone was helpful. Because I never ordered Indian food before. I like spicy so they suggested the Lamb Vindaloo with rice and a pita. It was phenomenal because it was not just hot but it had a slightly sweet taste along with the flavor. This restaurant needs our help due to the lockdown so we can enjoy it for days to come. read more

The Samosas were delicious as well as the Butter Chicken and the staff was extremely friendly! I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be coming back! read more

We've tried pretty much everything & it's all delicious. Primarily a carry out place. Such a fantastic addition to our area.

So awesome Thumpka has an Algonquin location! I could order everything! Courteous and friendly. The food tastes DELISH!

I drive an extra 15 minutes out of my way to get Indian from Thumka in Algonquin. All of the food is amazing with my wife, a long time vegetarian, proclaiming the vegetarian dishes some of the best she's had of any Indian restaurant we have visited. The staff is always friendly and we've never had an order with our issue. read more

Loved the food over here. We ordered Chicken 65 appetizer, Chicken Tikka and Garlic Naan. Everything was good. Carry out on the way from work!! Was looking for indian restaurant near here and happy that one got started and awesome taste as well. read more

Tried this place tonight early dinner, ordered to go.We ordered samosa to start, Butter chicken, chicken tikka Masala ,basmati rice and nann bread.yumm everything was full of flavor and delicious.So glad to have a decent Indian takeaway within 10 minutes from the house...Highly recommend read more

LOVE this restaurant I drive from Cary to eat here whenever I'm feeling Indian, I'm not vegetarian but the vegetarian options here are fire. 10/10 Definitely recommend. read more

Totally needed in this area. Portions are good sized, flavorful and have a lot of spice. If you don't like heat, be sure you really specify MILD or SUPER MILD. Prices are average for Indian fare. It's an express location and it's nice to have some culture cuisine out this way. read more

So happy to have a half way decent Indian place in the Lith area. I came here and got a take out order to go. The paneer chili dry appetizer was decent, spicy but not too much. The lamb curry however was spiced perfectly and came with lots of meat and gravy. Very good and decent portion size. The butter chicken is also quite good. I'd sure like to see them offer a chicken korma on the menu as well. Plain naan bread was OK. Would like to see a onion naan offered also. And rice does not come with entrees so its $4.00 extra. Overall a little pricey for take out. I will certainly try this place again. read more

First time here. Still a relatively new restaurant. We ordered some standard staples (butter chicken, naan, appetizers, etc.) And were more than pleased. Super delicious. Rich gravy, fresh, chewy breads, plump but dry rice, well cooked chicken. We cant wait to go back. Everything was very tasty. We came from a largely Indian populated area to Huntley, with near zero Indian food. This place should be in a much larger building. read more

The food here is really good. We've tried most of the dishes here, and all were very good to great. My only complaints are the menu isn't huge, and the price for what you get is a little high. Overall a very good place. read more

Just had my second meal from here and both times the food was fantastic. Had the chicken Tikka Masala and chicken Kadai. Both were great but the Tikka Masala is our fave. Gotta get the rice and naan also to complete the meal. Please eat here! We need more food diversity in the area read more

Ordered take-out twice now, amazing food, so good to have a Indian restaurant local to us!! The food is awesome, can't wait for when they start delivery service that would be fantastic!!! read more

This place is absolutely amazing! Thank you for a delicious meal! I have had a variety of items off of the menu here and they have never disappointed. Such a nice hidden gem. read more

First of all I was excited to see some Indian food on the doordash app so I immediately knew this was what I was eating for lunch. The samosas were huge, and absolutely delicious. The paneer tikka masala was amazing. I ordered roti instead of naan by accident. And I learned that Roti is underrated. The portions are good (: 10/10 read more

Yummy food, solid menu. Glad to have this option so close to home. The naan was really tasty and the butter chicken was delicious. Many vegetarian options as well. read more

Finally, Indian food in Lake in the Hills. Excellent quality, a bit of a wait to get food but that is because it is fresh. If you are in a hurry, call ahead. They also have delivery now! Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka, Gulab Jamun. Yummy! read more

Absolutely delicious! My husband and I ordered carry out tonight. I ordered the butter chicken, it was very good and had a little kick. My husband ordered the tandoori chicken tikka, it was good. We also ordered the paneer makhani which was really good and the veg biryani. The wait was 25 minutes or so. The only bad thing was that they ran out of rice. They said it would take 30 minutes if I wanted to wait or they could give me one of the two orders I ordered. I said I wanted a refund. They refunded me for both orders of rice but still gave me the one order of rice they had left. I thought that was great service. My husband and I will definitely be back. read more

Had the lamb curry with rice and garlic nan (sp) bread. Delicious and it was medium spiced which was plenty. Prices are higher than other local places but it's the only Indian food place around. Ill definitely be back! read more

Very good food. Seems a little expensive for what you get. Tons of sauce with not much meat in it. But we still order from here a lot cause there aren't many indian food choices in the area. read more

So excited to have Indiana food nearby! Enjoyed the chicken tiki masala, naan, and samosas. Will definitely return soon!

Overall I would not recommend this place. Their strength is in the flavorful sauces, however their prices are very high for what you receive. We have ordered there three times and each time they have been very very stingy with the protein in the dish, especially if it is chicken white meat. The last order which was for Chicken Korma, had a good amount of chicken, but it was dark meat with some gristle and bone. Not good attention to detail. It may be worth trying but don't be surprised with the results. read more

This place is a gem! It is hard to find Indian food that tastes authentic and this place did it. My taste buds were exploding with flavor! I ordered butter chicken (mild) , chicken vindaloo (spicy), and Punjabi Saag. This place makes my taste buds happy in a good way! read more

i ordered for the first time from there, i spent 40 minutes getting there, google maps was no help, i called the store agsin and he guided me to the the location, food was ready to be picked up, owner was very courteous and nice, when he found out that i made the trip all the way from richmond he even gave me a free mango lassi, coming to food, food was awesome, both vegetables were very tasty and quantity was good too. cant make that trip all the time but i will be going there at least few times a year. read more

Amazing food! Staff is great! My girlfriend got an amazing butter chicken and I got the lamb saag, with scrumptious garlic naan

went in to try the butter chicken and garlic naan with my brother the other day because he wouldnt stop talking about. He usually over exaggerates about things so I didn't believe him. But for once he was under-exaggerating. There are no earthly words to describe how good the butter chicken is because it's out of this world good!!! And the Garlic Naan is the same deal! Seriously don't have words it's that good! You must must must try it!! Hands down best Indian place I've been to in my life. It is absolutely a must try. read more

I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala over the Basmati Rice! It was amazing all around! The sauce was a perfect blend of not too spicy and flavorful and the chicken was perfectly cooked. The garlic naan was everything I hoped it'd be and would definitely recommend to friends and family! Also met the owner Jay and he was a pleasure to deal with! Thanks all at Thumka! read more

Thank you Thumka!!! Our new favorite take out!! My family devoured every bite all while saying, "man, this is soooo good!" From our two year old to our teenager to my picky husband this place hit a home run with each and every one of us! The curry is rich and so flavorful, and the tandoori chicken tikka is to die for! We can't wait to work our way through the rest of the menu! read more

I have travelled to India many times, and when Thumka Indian Express opened, I was dubious. I took a chance last night and did not regret it. I had samosas to start, followed by lamb curry, and at the suggestion of the proprieter, some garlic naan bread to go with it. The food was fabulous. I asked for a mild version of the curry and it was spot on. The lamb was tender and without any fat. The sauce was thick and rich without being too spicy, and the garlic naan was light, buttery, and garlicky enough without being overwhelming. I will definitely be going back. read more
