    I brought my dad here for lunch while running errands. Things that stick out. No warning sign the palek paneer was spicy. Not just spicy HOT. We are not heat people, so it was an unpleasant surprise. Chicken biryani was mostly bone with a little meat. Like the scraps you leave after deboning. This must be a cooking style I'm unfamiliar with. The rice pudding was basically a soup with fruit. That was very tasty if not rice pidding. Soda & ice tea from cans only. No ice, the ice machine was broken. Soda was coldish. As much as I tried to find something redeeming the "rice pudding" was the closest I could get. It was runny but delicious. Service was adequate.

    Great service and huge portions! I have not tried much Indian food but this tasted delicious to me. It was spicy and flavorful. Can't wait to try out more of the menu.

    The WORST quality of Indian food. Thoroughly disappointed. The subji were all loaded with gravy and not much else. I had 5 cubes of paneer in the mater paneer. I poured out the gravy in my butter chicken to actually see any pieces of chicken. The chole channa tasted like unloaded an entire container of salt into it (which is saying a lot since my wife loves salt). Will never eat here again

    First off, let me say that this place has some delicious butter chicken! It's not very spicy but I might have a higher tolerance for spicy foods, but it was really good, chicken is very tender and sauce was great. Only negatives - I absolutely do not recommend dining in here - come on, you don't have free cups of water? Made me pay for $3 bottles of water and rice is not free with entrees - another $4 per rice, kind of lame since most Indian places give it for free with entrees. Also, they have no real air conditioning in the restaraunt so it's very hot in the summer, our server (who was nice) gave us a fan to use in my picture below, but they need to get some actual AC for those Chicago July's, so overall, food good but overpriced experience.

    The aromas that hit your senses as you walk into Tandoor Curry Hotspot is something out of a dream!…read more I've been to Tandoor twice: once with my book club and 6 other people, and another with a girl friend of mine. Both times, the staff was incredibly warm and kind, and both times my food was flavorful. I have had the bullet naan ($5) and the garlic naan. And both times I ordered a dish with paneer (I'm vegetarian, and love a good Indian dish with paneer). I will say, that the first time I was here, I ordered a glass of wine, and knew IMMEDIATELY as the wine was set down in front of me, that the wine was spoiled. The Pinto Grigio stank like an old Chardonnay and turned my stomach so badly after just one sip, I had to take my food to go and finished it the next day. I have also noticed that the water carafes and glasses were kind of dirty the two times that I was in here, and that's a huge turnoff for me when dining in a restaurant (hence the 4 stars, not 5). I highly recommend Tandoor for the food and service, just skip alcoholic beverages, and maybe don't drink the water...?

    4 Stars for Shawarma King in Gurnee…read more This is a pretty convenient location and directly across the street from Six Flags Great America, and also close to the 294 highway. The food I had was pretty tasty, I got to try the chicken and beef shawarma plate - very expensive but very tasty, big portion enough for 2 meals. I also tried the beef kifta kabob wrap with a side of falafel- delicious! They threw in an extra falafel as well, thanks! There is also plenty of seating inside if you want to dine in. My only negatives are they do not give free cups of water, you have to buy a bottle if you want a drink. And they only include one tiny cup of hot sauce with your order. Overall, it was a good experience, if you want Mediterranean and you're in Gurnee it's not a bad choice.

Growing up, there weren't any Indian places to get food from, so when I saw an Indian restaurant, I was excited! I have been living in Orlando for the last 20 years and I eat Indian food at least once a week. I am also spoiled to have an Indian grocery store nearby and I purchase a large box of frozen samosas so I can throw them in the air fryer whenever I have a craving in front of the TV at night. I was getting ready to leave downtown and head back toward my niece's house and wanted a small snack to hold me over for the hour drive. I decided to try this restaurant for a unique combination of Indian and Pakistani food. I ordered one of my favorite dishes, Samosa chaat. I was very specific and asked for it to be vegan. In the meantime, I needed to use the restroom. As I made my way towards the back of the restaurant, my shoes began to stick to the floor. This was quite a bit of a turn off but I dismissed it as perhaps a mess that wasn't able to be thoroughly cleaned yet. When I went into the ladies room, there was no toilet paper. I had to go back out into the restaurant and ask for toilet paper which seemed to be a small ordeal for them. Needless to say, the toilet paper situation was resolved and I discovered a sticky floor in the bathroom as well. I started second guessing my choice of a place to eat. Again, I dismissed it And went to sit down at my table where the floor was sticky yet again. I should've left at this point. I looked around the restaurant and I noticed that there were three other tables of people eating the food and chose to stay because of that fact. When I received the Samosa chaat it was smothered in both tamarind and cilantro chutney (most cilantro chutneys are made using yogurt and I requested a vegan entree...unsure if this chutney had yogurt.) The samosas were made out of wonton wrappers and deep fried. The potato used inside was completely flavorless with some being so overcooked it was like mashed potatoes and some being so undercooked, they were as hard as rocks. There was no spice. My nose should've been running while I was trying to eat this. The channa masala on the dish was tasty but cold. The red onions had the most flavor of all of the ingredients on the plate. But I couldn't get passed the potatoes and left 85% of the dish uneaten. (I failed to get a photo ) I am thoroughly disappointed and bummed out that I couldn't find good Indian food in my hometown after all these years. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the large Indian population in Orlando. I shared my critique with the gentleman who took my money and I was told that they would try to do better next time. Well, there will not be a next time.
