Decent food, ambience is hole in the wall, so don’t expect too much. Lunch was pretty good. Worth another try, and will upgrade to 4 stars if food is consistently good.

Had a really great experience my first time in. I went on a Sunday for lunch but didn’t end up getting the lunch special, so I’ll have to go back sometime and see if its a good deal. I got the baby goat curry and it was awesome! The meat was really tender, and the curry was hot but not so spicy that it hid the flavor of the meat. After I finished eating, a staff member came over and asked if we liked it or if they should change anything, why I don’t know. But he was really nice and that is cool.

We had Tomato dal, Palak paneer and egg curry. It was like home made food with Tomato dal being just excellent. On weekdays naan/rice is included in the dish price.

I came based on the previous Unilocal reviews and was not disappointed. Though a bit rough on ambiance the food and service completely made up for some oddities in atmosphere. The host was extremely pleasant and went above and beyond to allow us to try foods that we weren’t familiar with. We had garlic naan, butter chicken, chicken tandoori, and yummy perfectly prepared gulab jamon. Big fan of the masala chai too. A family owned business that takes pride in their service and food.

This is the idea kind of place for getting a fleet of carryout food and taking it home to share. They’re located in a small stripmall on the south side of Algonquin Road, and although the spot would be easy to miss, they are worth seeking out. There’s a wide, wide variety of food options that lend themselves well to exploring some things you haven’t tried before. The only possible downside here is that they have very minimal seating space inside, so this is not the kind of place that will work well for bringing more than one or two people with you and sitting down to eat.

Good Indian Food. I regularly order from here and like their Tandoori Chicken, Chicken 65, Kadai Chicken, Andhra Chicken and Naan. Service is the BEST in this area. Very friendly hosts.

Delicious food, laid back atmosphere, and top notch service! The staff will recommend something delicious, that will not only leave your mouth watering for more, but also leftovers to be enjoyed the following day. The amount of food is generous, and the speed cannot be beat.

Employees are very nice but the food is bland. Sad since it’s one of the few Indian restaurants with good customer service.

I’ve visited this place twice in the past month, and I’m hooked. The food is FANTASTIC and the owners are very helpful and friendly. I’ve sampled three dishes on the menu, and enjoyed every single one of them. Absolutely loved the baby goat curry. FYI…their food does run on the spicy side. I would say that their idea of medium and mine are not the same. Usually I’m okay with medium, but their medium dishes have been very spicy. I’ve been ordering the mild and the level of spice is just right!

Most of the time, when dad and I find a hole-in-the-wall place, it’s terrible. This is not one of those times. Dad and I decided to get take out from here before school started, and since it was a bit of a drive, we ordered take out. When we arrived, the food was hot and ready, right on time. The lady working was very courteous and made sure we had everything we needed. I sipped the mango lassi on the way home and it was so good! Sweet, but you could still taste the mango. Everything is made in house, even the naan, which was soft and hot, but not dry. The chicken tikka masala and non-veg thali were also delicious, and you definitely need the lassi to cool off! I definitely recommend this place for any small occasion, or you can get take out for a larger party.

YMMV — stick to the standard fares like Biriyani and curries Biriyani was dry without vegetables, but the taste was decent and so was the portions

One of our friends catered biryani from them and we were hooked. Yesterday, we(party of 8) went there for the first time and ordered different types of biryani, butter chicken, gogura shrimp, dal, tandoori chicken, seek kababs, and different types of naan… One word… awesome! The staff and the owners were very friendly, helpful and awesome. The quality of food was great. The only reason I gave 4 stars, is that this place is small, and is not very sit down friendly(they have few tables). It is truly a carry out place. But, there are certain foods like tandoori chicken, Kababs and Naan, which need to be eaten right away, so you get the right texture and flavors. We ate there, but I would have had a different experience if we had brought it home. Next time, I would love to see the owners allow BYOB! The food deserves a good Indian beer(buy it next door)!!

We saw this ad on Unilocal rating it higher than any other Indian restaurant so decided to pay a visit. We were also enticed by the very cheap prices. We ordered the veg samosas and lassis first which I must say were great. We also got the fish fry which would have been good but was very spicy! I ordered the chicken biryani which was cold had little chicken and too pricy. My parents had masala dosa and idli which were also very bad. Potatoes in the dosa were cold and dosa itself very dry. Idlis were also cold and dry. But the most disappointing was the sambar. It was sour like it had gone bad and I couldn’t eat one bite. Sadly the only redeeming quality was the price and the lassi and samosa. However the staff were great and the owner covered us for the dosas and idli because of the quality. Hopefully they get better in the future.

This is a really small place, hardly have seating for about 20 people. The staff are friendly though, not too much on the menu, they have a few items but the food tastes pretty good. We had gobi manchurian, veg vindaloo, naan and veg briyani — everything taste good. It’s probably a good idea to order TAKEOUT from here. P. S. The idea of not having a restroom really bugged me, they dont have one here. :/

I was pretty excited when this tiny little hole in the wall went in a few months back! I started eating Indian/Pak food a few years back and am a big fan of it. This is a great spot for freshly made to order Indian take-away…you could eat there, but it is small and not the most up-market of settings… it is a total winner though for take-away!!! I have been there several times, but have only ordered a few things: Biriyani — On the weekends they have goat — I have also had the lamb biriyani… this is consistently excellent and for between $ 8 and $ 12 depending on the variety, you get a TON… I am a man of some girth and generally it takes me two days to finish an order of their biriyani. It is some of the best I have had anywhere. Chicken 65 — You know those popcorn buckets they have at movie theaters? Just fill one to the rim with this stuff and I would be happy for a long time… awesome!!! Naan — freshly made to order in their tandoor oven — it rocks the Kasbah! Tandoori Chicken — I recommend it… decent flavor. Be aware, it takes approx 30 min or so, so phone in your order. Saag Paneer — Spinach with paneer… the flavor was quite nice, but I am used to a thicker consistency so on texture alone, not sure as I would order it again, but I think this is due to personal preference — it was well prepared Mijji Binjji — or however you spell them… these are pretty spicy chili peppers coated in lentil flour and deep fried. The owner gave me a sample while I was standing there a few weeks back and it was awesome! I ordered them last night and — like most fried food — it doesn’t travel well. While still warm, it had steamed in its Styrofoam container on the drive home and ruined the texture. If you are eating there, they are worth getting — do not advise these for carry out Pakoras — deep fried lentil dough… not as exciting as the Mijji Binjji above but has the same issue when taken off-site — the deep fried dough steams on the ride home and looses texture. This is a GREAT place for take-away. It is the same or cheaper than other Indian places in the area that I have seen/visited. I probably wouldn’t eat on site, but I get take-away from there every other week or so and love it! They just opened a few months back and I really hope they are doing well(seem to do ok) because I want them to stay around for years to come

This has to be some of the best Indian food in IL yet. I used to have some awesome Indian food in Berkeley, CA and this is the same quality. It’s outstanding. You just don’t find Indian food this good, it’s rare in IL. CA has a ton but IL it’s hard to fine food like this. This place makes all other Indian Restaurants in Schaumburg seem like garbage. This place trumps all of those other Indian restaurants. It’s cheap, it’s well worth it. I’ve attached some pics. My wife and I went a few days ago. I had the Butter Chicken and on first bite my eyes lit up. Amazing. Also at first I was thinking why did they serve the food in Styrofoam even though I was eating in that day. Then you realize oh! excellent idea, because I can just take it to go, it’s already ready to take home if I can’t eat it all. Best samosa’s I’ve ever had. Typically when you go to Indian restaurants, the dough is either mushy or has no taste. Theirs is crispy as hell and tastes just awesome. Sauce is good. It’s family owned, and the owners are super super nice. Makes it all the better.

I pulled into the lot of the To Phở Vietnamese restaurant, pulled my phone out to check in on Unilocal,and decided to try this place instead. So very glad for the Unilocalers who reviewed it! From the outside, it doesn’t look like much. Inside, the seating area is very quaint. But the food? Prepare yourself for the aroma and flavors of India, prepared with love and care. I chatted with the cashier and a young gentleman about what to get. They were extremely friendly, didn’t make fun of my inability to pronounce the names of dishes, and made awesome recommendations. I ended up ordering the butter chicken, tandoor chicken, and the baby goat curry(which was on special). I ordered to go, and was served a sample of another dish while waiting. They cook everything fresh, so I was more than happy to wait. The free bite was incredible– I wish I could recall what it was, spicy sausage in a green sauce that had heat and a ‘zing’ too! As I drove home, the aroma of India filled my car, and I might have been driving above the recommended speed, just so I can enjoy it sooner. I almost ate everything. From the colors, the spices, the texture and taste, my dinner was an adventure. The meats were tender, and the naan was fluffy and fresh, and paired perfectly with the rich sauces. I’m, very much, looking forward to the next opportunity I have to feast on their decadent take out. I’m planning on trying their fish dish, and chicken bryani. Give it a try, if you enjoy incredible indian cuisine!
