“ Very good food. Be sure to order lamb or goat curry. The service was great. One of the curry was too spicy for us (even though we ordered mild), the owner recooked it and made it perfect for our taste. The place is small, but clean with just enough decor. Will definitely go back. ”
“ What an enjoyable experience! Beautiful decor and rhythm of music to enjoy with Marsala tea. Staff was helpful with our order and answered questions. Naan and tea not disappoint. Thank you for takeout! ”
“ Still one of my top go to for India food in the suburbs! Service is good, food was delicious and the other Indian patrons tell me it's authentic. ”
“ We came here for an early weekend dinner. The place was empty when we arrived and did not fill up that much during our time here. Only 1 or 2 other tables and a couple of take out orders. We ordered a variety of items to try. We got the spicy chicken wings for an appetizer- they were not overly spicy which was nice. It also came with a green sauce that was a great accompaniment for the wings. We also ordered a mango lassi which was well made. For our mains we got an assorted tandoori bread basket, the kashmiri lamb rogan josh and the paneer Tikka masala. The food overall was good, nothing overly spicy and the flavors were as expected. I felt like the pricing here too was pretty decent mostly everything was under $20 and the portion was more than enough for 2 people. Each of the entrees came with a bowl of rice. During the week they also have a lunch special that seems like a great option to try! ”
“ Found this restaurant on the "TooGoodToGo" app. There wasn't any specific area designated for the people waiting to sit, so I walked around the plaza. I found others waiting for their pick-up utilizing the nearby tables set up for customers. They have outdoor seating, gender neutral bathrooms, & a bar with liquor and masala chai to go. I was happy with the food (I got (paneer veggie dish). Overall, this is a Beautiful place covered in plants and leaves which gives a calming effect. The music was loud so it may not be the best for a first date or business meeting, if you get easily distracted. ”
“ My husband and I just enjoyed the most delicious dinner at Tandoor Curry Hotspot in Riverwoods. Their onion kulcha was the best we have ever eaten. We also ordered lentil soup and a tomato soup, both were very lovely. The lamb saag was very flavorful and more than enough for both of us to share. But, their Butter Paneer Masala was simply out of this world!! A totally new dish that the manager Siri recommended was so flavorful, with so many different spices that I look forward to ordering it every time I go there in the future! The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. Service was excellent! I give it a 10/10, ”
“ Food was very good. Service was very good. All very attentive They recommended Gobi Manchurian. Never had it before and it was delicious ”
“ My family and I found Tandoor Curry Hotspot to be a good restaurant to check out whenever you are in the mood for tasty Indian food. The restaurant was inviting with its aesthetics and decor. It was well lit and clean. The restaurant's menu has a good variety, and the dishes are reasonably priced in today's times. Located in a shopping center in Riverwoods, this restaurant is a good addition to the restaurants in the area (between Wheeling, Buffalo Grove, Lincolnshire). We went here for dinner and were not disappointed. We were promptly seated and served based on when we ordered. The restaurant was busy with takeout orders. We were in the mood for North Indian cuisine, so we ordered Naan, Onion Kulcha, Tandoori Roti, Palak Paneer, Kadai Paneer, and Meerut-style Goat curry dishes, for our entrées. I ordered chicken wings for my appetizer and requested them to be prepared in Indian style (which is not how they are normally cooked). By Indian style, I meant with curry spices or sauce. Our server, who also seemed to be the manager of the restaurant, said no problem to my request. The food came out promptly. It smelled and looked good. My wings were prepared in tandoori style, and they were delicious. The wings were accompanied by a mint chutney, some grilled onions, and slices of lemon. The vegetarian dishes like Palak Paneer and Kadai Paneer were aromatic and flavorful. The spice level was to our liking as we had requested. My goat curry dish was requested to be extra spicy, and it was good as well. It was my favorite dish. The Naan, Kulcha, and Roti we ordered were on point, too. We also ordered Malai Kulfi, an Indian ice cream dessert, which was housemade. It was decent. Overall, we had a good experience and would go back for more. Check out Tandoor Curry Hotspot for delicious Indian food. ”
“ Just popped in for lunch and think I found my new favorite Indian place. You never know what you're gonna get when walk into a strip mall restaurant but I was amazed at how clean and fresh the interior was. Casual yet very clean with attention to detail. I ordered the lunch special and it came out hot, fresh and outstanding. Bread was warm and crispy and each dish was perfect. Love this place. The owner could not have been nicer. ”
