    This place has advertised that they’ve opened but it looks like they’re still working on everything. When my fiancé and I got to the restaurant during lunch time (to dine in), we actually had to cough and yell “excuse me” several times to get someone to seat us as there wasn’t a single person visible in the restaurant. Our initial waiter who took our order, didn’t seem to know much about the food or the restaurant in general. We asked what he recommended, and he didn’t really know. After placing our order, he brought out plastic spoons and forks for the samosa, which had me really confused because this isn’t one of those casual fast food restaurants. Obviously I asked for silverware— and a different waiter this time brought that out for us. I’m not sure why they didn’t provide that for us in the first place. When the samosa came out, the chutneys were given in plastic cups which was disappointing. The paneer tikka masala was good but the garlic naan tasted like store bought bread (very dry and left over like). I hated how they brought the naan out before the food we have the naan with. Our Hakka Noodles came out last and it was definitely the biggest disappointment of the entire meal. First off, the noodles were not for “hakka noodles”, and they were still uncooked, so when our waiter asked us how everything was, we explained and he offered to take the noodles back. 15 mins later the same noodles were brought back to us looking red and almost black with a very odd look and even weirder taste. We didn’t want to complain but our waiter understood when he noticed the untouched bowl of noodles. As he was cleaning up the table, we asked for the check; after waiting 10 mins, we still didn’t have anything and really didn’t understand why it was taking so long. The man literally had walked right across from us to the register and was just chilling there while we sat waiting for him. My fiancé once again asked for the check and the waiter looked embarrassed as he realized he had forgotten. Overall, we really wanted to like this place as our family absolutely LOVES the Bartlett location but unfortunately Palatine was just a major disappointment.

    I have passed by this India Lounge several times since it opened up 3 months ago. I live fairly close and I kept thinking about stopping by and trying. Today after school I stopped and had lunch. The restaurant was lovely and the food was great. I ordered the veg. Samosa which came with two different chutneys. Then I also ordered Garlic Nan with Chicken Vindaloo. The food was great. Would recommend it.

    Just finished a lovely dinner. The staff was so welcoming and perfectly attentive without being intrusive. Super helpful in explaining the menu and guiding us through it based on our preferences. Most important, though, the food was fantastic. Can't wait to come back again.

    Went to this place during Thanks Giving long weekend, place is very spacious, calm and staff is super friendly. Butter Chicken is just amazing 10/10. Would highly recommend this place in Palatine.

    This is a new Indian Dine-In restaurant that just got opened in Palatine , but they have multiple other locations, too. Really good delicious Indian food, the Indian flavors were on point , we had Malai Kofta which was delicious and was like home made. We also ordered Kadhai Chicken, which was also delicious and tasted almost homemade . The Paneer Naan was good . Food was served pretty quick and was served hot . We also ordered a "Veg platter" which has "Paneer pakoda" and "Mix Veg Pakora" , which was good too. Overall, a very good Indian restaurant, definitely, and we will keep coming back . They also have lunch buffet, which we will come back to try . They also do catering .

    We stopped in for dinner after seeing the place driving by. The food was really good and they were willing customize it to our tastes. The biryani was amazing and flavorful. The veg samosas were crisp and had the right amount of kick. We'll definitely be going back.

    Love they are near me, food is priced appropriately, good portions, and the quality and taste of the items were good as well. Other indian restaurants in the area give free rice which here I paid I think $4 (not a deal breaker). They make up for charging for rice by doing little detailed things like specially seasoning the onions which is awesome. I fully recommend.

    Fantastic "new to me" Indian restaurant here in Palatine. Since this is was new order we tried our usual. Butter Naan, Vegetable Samosa, Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, and Paneer Makhani. All had a good amount of spice, something that many places seem reluctant to do. The Chicken Tikka was great with quite a bit of sauce (perfect for dipping your naan in). The samosas were good sized and "a bit hot," which made it perfect really. Each entree came with rice (with roasted cumin, which is fantastic. The naan is easily some of the best I have had in a while and some of the best in the area. They have Chicken 65 (a favorite) but not on the online menu, only for dinning in or phone orders. I am looking forward to trying that one out as well next time. And with food this good there will be a next time. Highly recommended.

    Everything was delicious and brought out hot and fresh! Spiciness level was good but definitely on the spicier side! Make sure to go more mild. I love spicy food, but it had kick even for me. A great addition to Palatine, but it's definitely on the pricey side. That being said, I can't wait to come back!

    Fabulous!!! We just found this restaurant tonight and dropped in, and wish we had known about it sooner. It has a nice lovely atmosphere, gorgeous classy looking bar, very friendly staff, and all the food we tried was delicious. The samosas here have the best flavoring of any I have ever tasted. We ordered Chicken Korma, which was also excellent, and a lamb biryani - also top notch - plenty of nice tender lamb chunks and great flavoring. Although we have frequented another place regularly for Indian cuisine, I believe we have found our new favorite!! Try it, you won't be disappointed!

    I really wanted to like this place, since it's new in town but I was really disappointed. We went for lunch on Friday and we were the only ones there. The buffet table was broken, so they gave us food in little bowls in our table. The food lacked favor and was not tasty at all. However, the service was good. The Samos tasted like it was old and was just reheated. The Gulab jamun was so sweet and had a lot of cardamom. I was really sad because that's one of my favorite desserts. The naan and roti had a lot of oil, like it was refried. The buffet is 15.99. I really wanted a place to go quickly for lunch but I won't be going there again.
