“Wonderful, classy yet casual experience! Delicious!!!“

“Good food. Excellent Service. Enjoyed Prabhu's personal attention. Visit again soon, Recommend to my friends.“

“Great food ! Their Sambar and Puliserry are hundred percent authentic! Apart from the above, their vegetarian thorans are a treat ! I had chance and still enjoying their Koorkai thoran after years .“

“I ordered out and had a great experience. I was greeted by multiple friendly staff members, and provided my order promptly. The samosas were high quality and filled to perfection, the naan was the perfect compliment to the entree, and the butter chicken was so flavorful. You can also adjust spice level on other dishes. Definitely coming back again!“

“I chose this restaurant because it was close to our hotel, highly rated, and within our budget. When we arrived (party of 3), the sign said “Open,” but there was no music - just an Indian drama playing quietly on the TV behind the bar. Three people stood at the counter, but it wasn’t clear if they were staff or customers. No one greeted us. The space felt cluttered and bare at the same time: six empty tables with lightly used tablecloths, a tall table with a silverware caddy and a pile of untidy napkins, and a bar strewn with boxes, papers, and menus. We stood awkwardly until I picked up what I hoped was a menu for my party to review while we waited. Eventually, two people left, and the remaining man asked, “How many?” and motioned for us to sit. He brought over two more menus and three lukewarm waters—two lightly carbonated, one tap. No other customers arrived during our visit.

We ordered chai, palak paneer, lamb curry, garlic naan, and tandoori chicken. Given the minimal service and odd atmosphere, we weren’t sure what to expect. But when the food arrived - brought out by a woman who materialized from the back and the same gentleman who had seated us - we were immediately impressed by the presentation. Plates and silverware seemed like an afterthought, as both servers retrieved them from different areas after the food was already on the table. Still, the food blew us away: rich flavors and generous portions. It may have been the best Indian food I’ve ever had. I had to ask for more water, but the attendant returned promptly with a pitcher. I thought they had forgotten my chai, but it was served after we finished eating. Then came the surprise ending: the man returned to ask for my name and number, explaining they’d send a payment link later.

If the space had more intentional ambiance — some background music, clearer service, a tidier setup—it would’ve been an easy 5-star experience. Nevertheless, I’d still highly recommend this restaurant for the food alone. It's a hidden gem in need of polish.“

“Every time we've visited Maharaj Indian Grill, whether dining in or carryout, the staff have been friendly and the food, well, very tasty! We'd recommend this restaurant to everybody.“

“I have been going there when they were located in strip malls on Ogden Ave for their buffet in early 2010, and now at their new location in Naperville. In my opinion they have better quality of food than others in the area. Also, not many people know of the buffet offerings on the weekends, which they need to put out the sign in front.“

“So good. Delicious, tasty and all kinds of yummy. Everybody at the restaurant was so nice and generous. I highly recommend this place. We come to the area once a year from Canada and I think we’ll have to make this an annual dinner.“

“1st time there, food was delicious 😋 friendly staff. reasonable prices. keep up with good work 👏“

“Phenomenal! My tastebuds exploded with pure joy from the well balanced spices! Spices we’ve never had amazed my family! 1000% recommended! Kelly was an outstanding Server!!“

“India Palace is the best restaurant in the world!!!! Our whole family loves it and we love going there!!!!!!!!!! You should go there for dinner and dessert!!!!!!!!!!!“

“The spinach dosas are very good.“

“This Lous was built on the concept of turning customers. Was there during lunch and it was at most 1/2,full. Sadly, it was almost impossible to have a conversation as the noise in the restaurant was ridiculous. Sooooo noisy people leave to hear themselves. This is a carry out only location...unless you bring megaphones for everyone to use at your table“

“I recommend everything, their food is delicious!!!“

“Absolutely amazing, huge portions very inviting environment and friendly staff. Me and my family use to go to different place until we tried ' Saffron' and this is so much better, love it! Thank you forever great experience and food!!!“

“If you are looking for an Indian restaurant that is good and affordable this is a place to try. My partner and I got the variety tray which includes rice, salad, chana masala, naan, chicken, and lamb. We had the chicken in korma curry which was so flavorful. The naan bread was so flaky and light. The food was fresh and tasty. If you want dessert, I recommended the mango lassi and the galub jamun. They are like sweet donuts in fresh and airy whipped cream. Overall all the food was great. Would come back.“

“We called for a last minute reservation in which they where able to accommodate us right away and gives us a table for a large party even though they were busy trying to keep up the orders while being understaffed. The food was amazing as always and the server Deep was very patient and understanding with us. He took his time explaining the dishes and complied which each of our demands with a smile on his face. Would definitely recommend coming here again and to everyone else.“

“delicious ♡♡♡♡ loved it all!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Taste of India today, and it was an exceptional experience. The buffet offered a fantastic variety of dishes, each bursting with flavor and perfectly prepared. The staff were attentive, and the service was impeccable, making the meal even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be returning to try it again!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolute gem in Villa Park! Hyderabad House is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Every single dish we tried was incredible — the butter chicken was rich and flavorful, the naan was perfectly soft and warm, and the veggie samosas had the perfect crunch with a beautifully spiced filling. I’m still dreaming about the Dahi puri, which was an explosion of textures and flavors, and the chicken 65 roll might be the best I’ve ever had. The seasoning on everything was spot on — bold, aromatic, and just the right amount of heat. The service was attentive and thoughtful, and we felt genuinely cared for from the moment we walked in. A special shoutout to the owner Bella, who was such a delight to talk to — her passion for great food and hospitality really shines through. If you’re anywhere near Villa Park, run — don’t walk — to Hyderabad House. This place is a must-try for anyone who loves authentic Indian/Pakistani cuisine done right.“

“Amazing jalebi and manchurian!! Must try!!“

“So far I’ve eaten at Vasco’s twice with my coworker. The food is delicious. It is perfectly spiced, chicken is cooked to perfection and not dry. The garlic sauce is very tasty. It is very clean. The people working there are extremely nice and helpful. My coworker doesn’t know much about Indian food so she had a lot of questions. They were patient and answered all of the. The owner came to our table both times we were there to ask how things were. It is a place that you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. We are already planning our next visit.“

“It's been quite awhile since we have been here. It's still great. Maybe different than a "traditional" Indian restaurant. But so what. Many new items added to menu. We had our standby dishes. Very good tonight. Everybody's taste buds are different most likely. Still very very good here.“

“Ordered a masala dosa and cheese masala dosa. Both dosas were generous size, perfectly made with ample filling, and delicious. accompanying sambar and coconut chutney was also good. The restaurant was spacious and very clean and the service was friendly and attentive. If it wasn’t so expensive, we’d come back often!“

“This was my first time visiting Al Badia when I first walked in, I was welcome by all the staff with smiles on their face, amazing attitude vibe and the spirit in the restaurant was amazing. The food was top notch. Amazing selection in the buffet. They have a lot of variety of different foods. All of them were good and amazing. Will definitely recommend to family and friends and will be back soon. Thank you to Abu Ali he was amazing and very friendly and respectful thank you so much!“

“The food here is amazing! I had the chicken tikka wrap, fries, and chai, and everything was absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, the prices were fair, and the quality was top-notch. Highly recommend this place!
Will definitely be back!“

“very nice people. immaculate. modern decor. astonishing food. many dishes. extremely authentic. completely delicious. perfectly fresh. Everything made from scratch. highly, highly recommended!“

“shahi biryani-bolingbrook. no mirchi no namak , ordered today goat biryani family pack and kadai chicken. it looks there is difference in glendale heights and bolingbrook. biryani should be little more spicy but it was not.“

“It is reasonably priced Pakistani food, or at least some of the dishes are reasonably priced. We are unfamiliar with Pakistani food hence I wanted to try it while passing through Lombard. I had the butter chicken plate ($7.69). we ordered the shami kabob ($12 for 4 pieces) which was extremely hot and the ground beef was like paste. We could not eat the shami kabab because it was over hot. It was a waste and I don't recommend it. We also ordered the Achar Ghost ($12) which was quite nice. The portions for the $12 dishes are very small. The chicken plates are quite good and good value because they come with a large paratha each.“

““Absolutely Amazing Experience!”

I cannot say enough good things about this place! First and foremost, the food is absolutely incredible—every bite was bursting with flavor, and you can tell they use the freshest ingredients. Whether you’re a foodie or just someone who loves a good meal, this is the place to be.

The ambiance is spotless and welcoming; the entire place is so clean, it’s like they have a full-time team dedicated to keeping it pristine. But here’s the cherry on top: the bathroom. Yes, I’m going to mention the bathroom because it smells amazing. It’s like walking into a spa—seriously, it’s that good!

If you’re looking for great food, a clean environment, and attention to detail (even down to how their bathroom smells!), this is the restaurant for you. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Delicious, fresh, and fast! Lots of vegetarian/ vegan options and fantastic value!“

“We had brunch at Shahi and it was a get together of almost 75 ladies. the quality of food , taste and service was out of this world. just the Chinese noodles were extra spicy but rest was 5/5. I love the decor, taste and hospitality since the owner Rahila Al Karim took over.“

“love this place its like family for me now from day one! alhamdulillah may allah swt increase thr rizq tremendously!“

“A halal Indo Pak restaurant in Villa park area. We had dinner there and food is average. I felt the price is higher with the food quality and quantity. The restaurant has wide variety of menu and most were available. It’s a very good place for big groups and parties as well. Staffs were friendly
