I've went to this place many times, and it's always been a gamble. Sometimes, the food is amazing…read moreand very well cooked, and other days not so much. However, one thing I have noticed is how much of a community there is behind this restaurant. Usually the restaurant has probably 6-10 people, but on some days, it's packed full of people, all who seem connected. Nonetheless, I love the vibe it gives off, and the community that comes with it. I have noticed that it uses less oil than other Indian restaurants that I've been to, which has its ups and downs. It also tastes less spicy, which is ironic. Its service is a little confusing at times, since they have no clue what some items on the menu is sometimes, but I can tell by the last few visits that they are trying to be better. Finally, the decorations lack a theme. I would really appreciate it if it had a theme, but right now it has a bunch of photos of irrelevant pictures. Hope they improve on that.

The biggest positives for Idly Vada Bistro are that they offer a vegetarian/vegan South Indian…read morebreakfast on the weekends, and that they open at 8am. I dislike and probably hate American breakfast food. My husband loves it, but unless it is a rare place that has vegan breakfast offerings, I am usually stuck with an order of hashbrowns (and often not even that, if they are cooked in butter). Their buffet is simple, homestyle South Indian breakfast (I am South Indian so I know). Their food is good, but not the best. If I was going out for Indian food at 11am or noon, this place would not even make my top 5. However, I am so sick of American breakfast diners that I just could not do it again today. Even though my husband loves his Eggs Benedict, he gets it, and was happy to try this place out for me. He said he really did not get enough to eat, which is how I always feel when we go to an American diner. It is the weekend, so we may go out to eat again when places open for him. To be fair, he was the only White guy in this place and it was packed with people from the Subcontinent. Obviously quite popular. If you are going to give it a try, I recommend getting there early.

This was a very disappointing experience at Sara's Restaurant on 05/30/26…read more There was only one waiter serving the entire restaurant, and we often had to get up and find him whenever we needed something. The biggest issue was the payment process. The waiter handed me a portable payment device showing a total of $94.04 and immediately prompted me to select a tip amount. I chose 15%, bringing the total to $106.15. Only after asking for a receipt did I discover that an 18% service charge had already been added to the bill. I felt misled. The waiter should have first shown the full bill breakdown before presenting the tip screen. Charging an 18% service fee and then prompting customers for an additional tip without clearly disclosing it is not transparent. My party consisted of two adults and children, with the oldest being only 10 years old, which made the service charge even more surprising. The food itself was decent, although the portion sizes were quite small compared to other restaurants charging similar prices. Had the billing process been handled honestly and transparently, I would have overlooked the portion sizes. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I will not be returning. I wanted to share this review so others know what to expect.

First off, the food is pretty solid. I had the chicken and shrimp curry and it was quite good. Naan…read morewas really good too. Also has the lentil soup and that was just ok. A bit plain. What bothered me was the overall vibe there. Been too a lot of Indian restaurants and one thing they have in common is they're typically very welcoming. I read a review saying the owner always greets them nicely. He didn't even acknowledge me coming in. The waiter was very nice but got me in and out very quickly. Didn't pour my water. The overhead music was more like a massage spa than a restaurant. Play some traditional Indian or Pakistani music. That's more fun. It just all seemed a bit uncaring. Food was good but would I come back? Not sure.

I used to pass by Indian Harvest while shopping nearby, and one day I finally decided to give it a try. I started with their lunch special, and it was both affordable and generous--enough for lunch and dinner. When I later ordered dinner, the portions lasted even longer. That kind of value is rare. What truly stands out is the customer service. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and kindness. The staff makes you feel welcome, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting. Great food matters, but great service is what keeps you coming back--and they deliver both. Whether you dine in or order to-go, you won't be disappointed. This is definitely one of Naperville's best-kept secrets. Highly recommended, The Writter, Phyllis

If you're looking for fresh, authentic Indian food with outstanding service, this is the place. I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. Highly recommend!

Shree is hidden in a strip mall that's hard to make a turn into from the busy street. Got a pretty big menu. The bad thing is it's too expensive for quality and quantity. Found out they have a buffet. It's on weekdays at lunch. The selection was pretty paltry but we thought it would be all for a great price. About half of it was meaty. The other half had things for vegetarians. It's about $20 for the buffet. We were shocked by the price. It was certainly not worth it. They were taking forever refilling water. A spicy plate of food has to have it available. They were also late getting us bread until we had finished a few plates. Great thing is it's the best Indian restaurant in town to be honest. It's because this is the only one. There's a lot for vegans and vegetarians.
