I have been to many Indian restaurants and this place can hold its own with any of them. The food had authentic Indian spices and was not given the “bland American” treatment so many faux ethnic restaurants resort to. We were asked if we wanted only vegetarian dishes. Even though I am omnivorous I thought it was a nice touch which showed how eager the owners are to satisfy their customers’ needs. There was no mango ice cream, which I have seen in other such places; while it tastes good it is formulaic and I suspect all of it sold in the area comes from the same source. Instead, there was a new dessert I had never seen before. It neither looked nor tasted as if it came out of a box. The food was good. Everything was fresh. The staff was friendly. Five stars.

They came to work as part of the Fooda group and I was so happy to see a change up in the usual boring sandwiches we’ve been having. I LOVE Indian cuisine and I’m very picky as I’ve dated an Indian chef and know how the food should taste 😉 that being said, this was amazing!!! My only complaint is that I was only served 1/2 piece of naan and the serving size of chicken tikka masala was small. I would imagine it’s because they need to ensure they have enough, so I understand. I will be coming in to the restaurant and PLEASE come back to work!!

When something has to go wrong, it will go wrong….and one should accept it…lesson I learnt it today. We were going to this restaurant very first time and couldn’t locate it for around 15 minutes(after seeing it’s board at the Long Grove Commons Mall)…it could be good if we could have skipped this restaurant all together.
I am surprised at any +ve reviews about this restaurant. They might be from family and friends or may be paid ones. We went today at around 12:10 PM. Somebody told us that some party is going on, so please go to the 3970B hall. It was more of a living room of some house rather than some restaurant. Nobody(server or waiter) was there to offer seat to any guests. You need to get seated on your own.
Now coming to the food – we are vegetarian so we can’t comment about two options for non vegetarians(Chicken etc..) but Vegetarian food was horrible and very limited choices. Bhelpoori was there but chutney was at least 2-3 weeks stale. There were no plates-many a times – guests have to request plates from the servers. Servers were very much clueless and unfriendly people – I don’t think they were getting paid at all. In appetizers – they had potato and some other bhajji which were bad in taste. I don’t know why there was any sambhar provided(to eat with what). Interestingly sambhar and navratan korma had the same set of frozen vegetable choices. There was plain rice to eat with black dal(at least a week old). Then there was okra(bhindi) saag(not the dry one but with the gravy)-very yucky. And that’s all was there in that restaurant to eat. Everything to eat was available on 12 feet table space – so one can imagine the quality and the options.
If google allows me to upload some photos – I can upload my receipt(check # 13292, Date 12/21/2013, Time : 12:45 PM, server Vijay and Table 50). They are charging $11.99 per adult buffet and $7.99 for kid buffet. Ideally they should close this restaurant(yes, that’s what I have written on the merchant copy) or at the most charge $1.99 per adult.
Stay away from this restaurant. It’s good that it’s isolated and difficult to find…only when you are desperate(after finding it for quite some time as there are no other indian restaurants in the next 10 minutes drive) and hungry – you will go there.
In US during the last 13 years – I have found only two other indian restaurants as bad as this 1) Shah Taj Sweets And Restaurant(287 Grove St Jersey City, NJ 07302 near Grove St Path Station at Jersey City) 2) Raja Bhaiya – route 4E near Hackensack NJ(it’s closed now).
Both India House(Schaumburg, IL) and Gaylord(Schaumburg, IL) are far better. Please don’t be lazy-drive till there…no need to spoil your mood and stomach by visiting this restaurant. By far my number one indian restaurant is Chand Palace, Piscataway, NJ.
Shame on you “Urban Tandoor” folks – why you are destroying the reputation of Indian food in USA?

Delicious mix of North and South Indian food. The lunch buffet is a great value with many dishes to choose from. I’m looking forward to going back for dinner.

Am totally amazed by all the +ve reviews, went with 6 of our friends for dinner and have to say, this is the worst Indian food I’ve had in a very long time. Each of us felt the same way. Do yourself a favour and skip this place.
