“My family and I came on a Friday evening (09/11) and ordered 3-4 things (a rice dish, a paneer dish, jasmine rice, and 2 deserts). The flavor and quality of the rices were great, and they were in a big portion. The paneer came in a small bowl, even though it cost 12-14 dollars. And, it took 40 minutes to get the first three dishes out.
The crew very apologetic and quite frantic, so I really appreciate their effort.“

“This is the absolute BEST Indian cuisine in the Midwest. They’ve been in business for 30 years, and you can taste it in the flavors of their recipes.

“very nice people. Great marinade on the tendery chicken. super good garlic naan. very good price on the fresh buffet. authentic music. clean and comfortable. Nice decorating.“

“Had an amazing lunch at Indiyaana! I ordered the Thali, and it was hands down the best Thali I've ever had: every dish was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The hospitality was just as impressive. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming and made us feel right at home. Special thanks to Akash and Deepthi for taking such great care of us! Can't wait to come back again soon. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Had an amazing meal at Flambé Karma and can’t stop thinking about it! The mango habanero paneer tikka was incredible!! Sweet, spicy, and easily one of the best paneers I’ve had. The masala chicken momos were another standout, with a sauce so good they were generous with it in every bite. The goat curry was a personal favorite, right up there with the paneer, and the chicken dum biryani had the chicken falling right off the bone. We also loved the garlic naan and cheese kulcha (so cheesy!), the tandoori whole fish with a delicious marinade, and of course a mango lassi to top it all off. The papar with spicy and sweet chutney was a great starter too.

Beyond the food, the ambiance and music were fire, such great vibes throughout the whole meal. And they literally set part of the dish on fire, which is where the name Flambé Karma comes from such a fun touch!

Highly recommend if you’re in the Buffalo Grove area. Will definitely be back!“

“Always delicious and very much comfort food.“

“I always come here whenever I want to eat something outside food good place and food also good but the so much noise The ladies selling icegolla in the corner have no sense. They were talking on their phones on loudspeaker. They don't even realize that it's distracting people from eating.“

“Beautiful place,beautiful atmosphere, highly recommended 👌 👍 ✨️“

“Really enjoyed our meal at Choice Indian Restaurant. The Manchurian was definitely the highlight very flavorful and perfectly prepared. The gravies were delicious, and the naan paired really well with them. The atmosphere was pleasant and overall we had a great experience. The only small suggestion would be to make the Chur Chur Naan a little softer. Otherwise, everything was excellent. Definitely looking forward to visiting again!“

“Great Indian food 👌 The green coconut 🥥curry and bullet Naan were delicious 😋.“

“I highly recommend Royal Bar and Restaurant for their exceptional catering services. They recently provided the food for our wedding, and the entire culinary experience was phenomenal. Every dish was outstandingly fresh and flavorful, earning high praise from all of our guests. Even the tea and coffee were served perfectly hot, reflecting their strict attention to quality. We extend our sincere gratitude to Divyeshbhai for delivering such delicious cuisine and ensuring flawless service throughout our event. Furthermore, their punctuality was exemplary; the order arrived exactly as promised, even a few minutes ahead of schedule, which is exceptionally rare today. Royal Bar and Restaurant delivers top-tier food and dependable professionalism.“

“Dining Experience On Thursday, September 4, 2025 :👇🏽 We truly enjoyed our visit to Chennai Central .If you're a fan of South Indian cuisine, this is definitely a place worth visiting! We tried Chennai Central's Thursday Chaat & Dosa Buffet Launch, and it was an exceptional experience! The event drew a huge crowd, but the efficient service ensured that everyone had a great time. The ambiance of the dining room was also noteworthy, with nicely designed partitions that provided a sense of privacy, making it comfortable for guests to enjoy their meals without feeling crowded. The food spread was truly impressive, with a wide variety of dishes that were fresh, authentic, and flavorful, all served piping hot. The highlight of our meal was the freshly steamed idlis, which were soft and fluffy. Our server, Sai, politely informed us about the batch, and it was a treat to enjoy them straight from the steamer. This attention to detail reminded me of my family's restaurant, where my dad would famously say, "Idlis are never sitting around waiting for customers; instead, our customers patiently wait for fresh idlis steamed to order!" It's a reminder to appreciate the value of slow, carefully prepared meals, resonating deeply with my father's motto at Chowpatti Vegetarian Restaurant - "what we cook at home for the four of us, is now being cooked for all of us in this dining room." Chennai Central's team clearly shares a similar commitment to quality. The medu vadas were superb, with my mom remarking that they were as good as, or possibly even better than, the ones she prepares at home. The Pav Bhaji was another standout dish, with a perfect balance of spices and a delightful Bombay punch - kudos to Chef Ramesh for his exceptional preparation! We also enjoyed the freshly grilled to-order home-style dosas, served with delicious sambhar and a variety of yummy chutneys. The kesari dessert was a perfect finish to our meal, with a smooth texture and just the right amount of sweetness. What made our experience even more special was the outstanding service provided by two friendly and accommodating servers, both named Sai. They were attentive, smiling, and ensured that everyone in the dining room had a great experience. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Dining Experience On August 20,2025 : 👇🏽 I had the pleasure of visiting Chennai Central on their very first opening day August 20,2025 and I was thoroughly impressed! The ambiance was clean and inviting, with comfortable furniture that set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive, adding to the overall warmth of the evening. The food was exceptional, with standout dishes like the Masala Dosa served with three delicious chutneys that burst with authentic, bold flavors. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the personal touch from Chef Divakar and Chef Ramesh, who made rounds through the dining area to ensure everyone was enjoying their meal. They even took the time to share tips on how to properly enjoy their famous layered Parottas with Korma gravy, the authentic way – by generously smothering the Korma onto the Parottas and letting the rich flavors soak in before digging in, a delightful touch! We discovered that this is a chef-owned and operated restaurant, and it's clear that their passion for authentic South Indian cuisine shines through in every dish they serve. The vegetarian biryani was particularly noteworthy – it was flavorful, comforting, and satisfying. Every bite was a testament to the freshness and care put into preparing each dish. I'm already planning my next visit – it was that good! If you're looking for authentic South Indian cuisine with a personal touch, Chennai Central is definitely worth a try.“

“The smells and flavors are like no other“

“I tried Vasco’s Peri Peri for lunch and was blown away by the Two Tenders Rice Bowl. Tons of flavor, generous portions, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. It’s hard to beat a fresh, hot meal like this for under $11. Perfect quick lunch option Monday through Friday!“

“My gujju heart and stomach are full. Just took my husband and myself to Sattvic for dinner. The thali was amazing. Unlike other Indian restaurants the food was spiced just right not too hot that it would give you heart burn and stomach ulcers. It was just right, perfect balance of flavors. Definitely going back.
The wait staff was also very attentive and polite.
I highly recommend this. Just like home cooked food.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a wonderful experience at Dum n Grill! The ambience is really nice, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They took the time to explain the menu and helped us choose some great dishes.

We visited with family and friends and tried quite a few items. The Shaadi Wala Red Chicken Curry was very yummy, especially with Rumali Roti. The kids really enjoyed the Malai Tikka Kebab.

We also tried the Street Style Fried Rice, which had that authentic Indian street-style taste. If you like spicy food, definitely ask them to make it spicy!

I personally loved both the Sattibabu Chicken Pulav and DNG Chicken Pulav. My wife tried the Paneer Veg Pulav and absolutely loved it as well.

For snacks, we also tried the Mysore bonda, which was really good.

We ended our dinner with a nice Irani Chai, which was a perfect way to finish the meal.

Overall, the food quality and quantity were really good. Great ambience, friendly and helpful staff, and lots of flavorful options to choose from. We had a great family dining experience and will definitely visit again!“

“Great service and great quality food on 8/16.we enjoyed India Independence Day celebration“

“THE BEST Indian food Experience in CHICAGO.“

“Great home style andhra food! They make everything the way we ask for it, and it's always fresh and good. The people are wonderful and always make you feel at home. Plus, they have all my usual groceries so it's a one stop shop.“

“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.“

“Just going to start my review early. So many 🍕 to go. Fantastic 🌮. No long wait for pickup. Had both pan and thin crust won't disappoint. Overall another new addition setting a high bar leaving the competition 👊 wishing they did this 💡 first.“

“Fresh and delicious food. Nice to have a halal restaurant in Palatine.“

“Awesome Food great service!“

“Best Hyderabad Biryani..“

“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.“

“Good food with great taste“

“Sonya is wonderful. Come in for good food and cheap beer!!“

“Have been here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and have also ordered from this place quite a few times. Their Vijayawada Boneless Chicken Biryani and Wednesday-special Talapakattu Goat Biryani are my go-to dishes here.

The takeout portions are very generous for the price and comparatively larger than what you get at many other places. I haven’t tried too many of their other dishes yet, but the Goat Kheema Biryani was just okay.“

“Nice, clean restaurant and was not too crowded for Sunday dinner except someone's party. Food was okay nothing exceptional that I was anticipating. I have had more tastier Nihari at Usmania, Sabri or Ali Nihari. BBQ was good but karahi needs more reasonable fixing. We liked the paratha poori, Naan and parathas were freshly made and hot to touch. Staff was polite and courteous.
The parking lot needs fixing. We used disability parking but the walkway was so rocky, uneven and so far from the entrance that my dad almost fell with his rollator. It definitely needs fixing before a lawsuit happens“

“This was my first time trying lamb chops and I’m a genuinely satisfied“

“Excellent taste!“

“Everything was so delicious and yummy. My wife and I went to kolachi from wisconsin just to eat the best briyani and haleem. As always, I have the best experience.“
