  • 3/5 Naseer A. 1 year ago on Google • 353 reviews
    The restaurant is located in Westmont in a shopping center with other stores including a Indian groceries store and as such finding a parking space is not easy. The restaurant is small with some space set aside for bigger parties and the number of tables are limited. There's a wait to be seated and we reached there at peak time and waited a good 10 minutes. The waiters and the manager are preoccupied and we had to draw attention to an empty table to get seated. The menu is newly printed and has a lot of choices in different cuisine of India for those familiar with it. South Indian cuisine is limited to dosa varieties and other rice based dishes. The masala soda is good for those who like the traditional "jal jeera". There's no soda in the drink itself but a variety of Indian spices that aid in digestion and general health. The onion rava masala dosa looked good when it arrived with holes that I mentioned in my review of A2B's same item but soon turned into a nightmare. The chef must have forgotten about the dosa as it was desiccated/dehydrated beyond imagination to the extent the masala has become dry and the onion had caramelized. I was joking with my family that the dosa was hard and crisp enough to chop up vegetables. I could not even eat half of it. The sambar is good and a decent quantity but of the chutneys, only the tomato chutney is very good, the coconut one is ok but the third one of fried lentils is insipid, though the quantity is once again like the "tabbaruk" or prasad you get in your places of worship. At $12 it's certainly not worth it. A couple of ready-made Gits rava dosa mixes for half the price, from the next door Indian store would have been a better experience for my taste buds. Anyway the family enjoyed their items and it seems like my experience was the only sour one. Perhaps the illinois culinary world does not want to satiate my penchant for a taste of real onion rava dosa.

    This is a pure veg restaurant and also have lunch buffet. GOOD: Food taste is excellent. We had spring rolls, mysore masala dosa and pav bhaji dosa. Ended with Warm Gulab Jamun BAD: Hospitality is bad. Poor service. We had to wait 40 mins to get 2 dosa despite the restaurant being empty. Once done eating, asked for check but even that didn’t come. Paid going at the reception as we had to leave. A guest was already arguing with some of the staff complaining about their service.

    Excellent Dosas and Gobi Manchurian! The staff are kind and very helpful. The atmosphere is a bit funky and a bit too heavy on the blue lighting for my taste. Some of the street food options are very salty. Overall a great experience and I will definitely be back for more Dosas.

    Its a very mediocre place for taste. Menu names may be different but served item is same I ordered amritsari channa and aloo tikki chaat turns out both have same item no difference in the taste. There is a third option in the menu woth chana masala . You guessed it . The chaat was also served as do it yourself So overall only USP is that it is only veg restaurant. For the price you defo have better options

    Shree is a delightful vegetarian Indian restaurant which I have been visiting for over 30 years! There is a nice ambience to the dining room. The staff are very warm and personable and I enjoyed talking with them. While I miss the lunch buffet, i am really enjoying exploring the many menu options available at lunch. I have seen a number of comments that the food doesn’t arrive quickly. This is not fast food - I am fine to wait a few minutes more as things are cooked to order and arrive hot and very fresh. Attaching a photo of the galub jamun served to me today. The presentation was very nice and the warm, sweet dessert was a delight especially on a cold winter day. I recommend Indian food lovers to give Shree a try.

    update 01/07 Changing to 4 stars from 2 The place seemed to have updated when I visited last . We went for a dine in this time during lunch hours on a weekend . ordered the mysore dosa , masala dosa , vada sambar and dahi bhalla . surprisingly dahi bhalla was quite good . I didn't expect the taste to be this good from a south indian place . The owner was very polite and a humble guy. service was fast ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- was in the area and was craving some Indian food. I searched on Grubhub to see what was around me and saw shree restaurant. The prices seemed high there so I went to shree's own website and the prices there were much lesser. I called the restaurant to place my order of chana bhatura and samosa chat. I went to pick it up and I was charged the grub hub pricing. I did not realize when I was paying but when I went home and saw the bill attached I was surprised they charged me higher than what was advertised. Now they may come back saying the prices are old prices... sure but that will be false advertising. Review of the food . .. chana bhatura was decent ... not good ... chana with no gravy does not go with bhatura . samosa chat had well packaging and samosas were fresh.

    Their menu is simple yet delicious. Mostly every dish I’ve ordered here is better than the other restaurants in the area. Be warned though that their mango lassi and other items can contain a lot of sugar. I definitely could not finish them. The samosas were crispy yet soft. The sambar vadas were not too hard and were also crispy. I’m not sure how they got the consistency correct — but it’s delicious. I came here with a friend for dinner last week. Highly recommend this place for vegetarians, vegans, and families. The service could be a little better. The staff was friendly but busy so it took a little while to track someone down. They also forgot my buddy’s main order…so we ate at separate times, which is unfortunate. We had to wait around 20 extra minutes for his order to come. Still, I suggest going here. They also cater for weddings. The friend I was with got the food catered from here.

    We catered from Shree two weekends in a row and Prabhu guided us seamlessly from start to finish. He provides his expert opinion on how much food is needed for the number of guests. Communication and professionalism are excellent - he called to confirm periodically and he even provided follow-up calls to make sure everything went well. The food (both veg and non-veg) at both events got so many glowing remarks from our guests - it was excellent. Shree has and will continue to be our go to place for catering needs!

    This is probably the best South Indian food I had in a while. I started coming here 5-6 months ago and tried many different dishes and all of them are good. I try to come here every weekend. Prabhu is a great host and I come here as much for the food as for the hospitality. Highly recommended!!

    Mysore masala dosa was amazing. Texturally, the dosa was not greasy, light yet stayed crispy even during my last bites. In terms of taste, it was deliciously garlicky and had a nice kick. Their sambar and tomato chutney were excellent, definitely amongst the best in the city. Sambar came out pipping hot, which was a big plus on a cold day. Coconut chutney, however, wasn't good and tasted like hair. Masala was slightly undersalted. Service was extremely attentive and I was pleased to find out that you can request more sambar and chutneys with no extra cost!

    I really like it. I prefer at least one time you visit this restaurant, I will definitely say you will go over their with guests. I went 2 times and I am going to 3rd time with whole family. Very respectful staffs and food serve nicely, staff asked for special chair for a kid, even the Manager also asked us what about food!, any changes and he also prefer us any suggestions. Those India who loves Indian food pls visit at least once. They also have a big family dinning room so we can celebrate small event at restaurants.

    We have been visiting Sri restaurant for a very long time. It continues to offer the same excellent and tasty food, unlike many other restaurants. The quality has not gone down and the service is good and the atmosphere is pleasant. Would strongly recommend for those seeking quality Indian vegetarian food.

We went two families together totally seven plus one children for a festival celebration and we really really enjoyed the food which was very tasty and all spicy levels are good as per the description given to the serving person. Excellent food. Excellent Taste. Price also cheapest economical. I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone of my friends and relatives to visit this restaurant. Really good place. Everyone should visit this place for all their important occasions.

    Purely vegetarian restaurant with South Indian cuisine and North Indian cuisine. They have the bar inside the restaurant. If it's little crowded also you need to wait little longer to place the order and to get the food. One must try Paneer Tika Masala. It's really delicious and mouth watering. Mango juice tastes like Rasna.

    The food was tasty but the hospitality was very poor. They took around 10 minutes to note down our order then bought the food very late too. I ordered medu vada, they were very small in size at least they should have increased the number of vadas. Overall the food was great. I really loved everything I ordered.

  • 2/5 Trisha P. 8 months ago on Google
    I just ordered via Uber eats and wow - it was terrible. Rasam vada - tasted like indo Chinese food. How is this possible? Rava dosa with masala - no salt used at all and didn’t follow instructions for masala on side Mango lassi - it was mango shake not lassi. Tasted stale also Would never order from here again.

  • 4/5 Girish S. 1 year ago on Google
    Enthusiastic service, many options on the menu and highly recommended by my hosts. They slipped a little in trying to please..... but their intentions were genuinely customer friendly. The food that was ordered could have been made and brought to the table in a choreographed manner, instead of rushing everything as soon as the cook was ready with it. The food was delicious in parts..... and another visit would help me judge that aspect more fairly. Catering bigger groups seems to be their forte...... !!!

    Shree serves amazing Indian vegetarian food. I have been there a couple of times now with family and had some delicious curries. Their service is also good. Below are the things we have tried till now Starters Samosas - Really crisp and not oily at all. They serve it with Tamarind and Green Chilli chutneys which are also really tasty.l Paneer Tikka - Really good, well marinated and grilled. Served with delicious chutneys. Masala Dosa - It was ok and I would rather try something else. On a sidenote, they serve chocolate dosa which my niece and nephew liked :) Curries Sarso da saag - It was delicious. Served with Makki ki Roti (Maize flour flatbread). Probably the best I have had till now in the US. Panner Tikka - Delicious, must have. Malai Kofta - Delicious, must have. Tadka Daal - Delicious. Lightly tempered with Ghee and spices just like it should be. Naan They serve various kinds of Naan's. We had butter and garlic naan. They were good and not too thick like they serve at most Indian restaurants. We haven't tried their Biryani yet. Looking forward to trying other items on their menu.
