Upon recent visit, a beautiful Friday evening in summer around 7pm, this restaurant was completely…read moreempty. When we asked for a table, the man at the counter seemed surprised. The minimal staff seemed unsure what to do, and the tables were not set. We were handed plastic plates and utensils, paper napkins. It was odd after reading the reviews and seeing pictures. There were no bar offerings and it seemed to be a no alcohol establishment. It was very quiet, as there was no music or sound except our group talking and laughing. We felt like we were being loud, but it's just that the whole place was so quiet and empty. The food was good, however, and there was a steady stream of take out and door dash happening. A few more families came it for dinner, but it was a mostly empty house. Service was acceptable, food was very good, but ambiance was definitely lackluster and uninviting.

Yum! I don't know if it's just because we haven't had Indian cuisine in a long time, but everything…read morewe had was a hit! We ordered a few things to be non-spicy and it was actually not spicy. Sometimes there's still a hint of mild spice, but this was great for our kids. Portion sizes are great and surprisingly generous. We ordered to go and all the food was still nice and hot when we brought it back. What we got: Butter chicken (not spicy) - So good. Such a staple for us and this one was kind of light on the tongue with a hint of sweetness. Palak paneer (not spicy) - This is akin to a creamed spinach with cheese cubes. We love this. Solid order -- it was good. I think other places have been a bit more savory compared to here, but we love this as a veg dish. Lamb biryani - This was so, so good. Other biryanis we've had have felt really heavy (maybe too greasy?), and super spicy. This one is delightfully bright flavored and surprisingly light feeling! I liked this so much. The lamb was delicious and tender. No bones or gristle in it. Just so good. And paired with the yogurt sauce to take some of the heat off--chef's kiss. This is definitely a spicy dish though. But so worth it. Shrimp korma - This was new to us! And I loved it a lot! It's coconutty and bright, but still creamy. It's reminiscent of a Thai curry if that helps give a comparison. I could drink this curry if it was acceptable. Butter naan - Nothing bad could ever be said about a butter naan. Delicious. Order so many. We fed 4 adults and 2 kids with more than enough leftovers. Maybe this will have to take our place as our new go-to for Indian!

Amazing food and even better service!…read more We've ordered from Curry NaanStop Indian Grill before, so it was no surprise when my hubby requested it again for Father's Day. I headed over for pickup and the place was packed. There was a line of people waiting for the buffet and honestly... not surprising at all once you taste the food. While I was waiting for our order, the owner came over and offered me what I think was tea or coffee with cream. Such a thoughtful and welcoming touch. It was absolutely delicious and made the whole experience feel extra special. We ordered the garlic naan (because... obviously), Chicken Mughalai, Butter Paneer Masala, and Chicken Tikka Masala. Each entrée came with white rice and every dish had its own unique flavor and spice profile. Rich, creamy, comforting, and full of flavor without feeling repetitive. The food was amazing but the service really stood out. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. We'll definitely be back and next time we're trying the buffet so we can open up our palate and try even more dishes. 5 stars for incredible food and amazing service!

I love a good Biriyani and that's exactly what I got. The rice was moist and my lamb wasn't overcooked or dried out. My grilled and fried veggies in the rice was fresh as well and hadn't just been sitting in one big pot. I could taste everything individually in the rice and you get an eggg. But what was very noticeable was the price. I've had mediocre food in the area for 4-7.00 more a plate in the area. I also like the variety. Everyplace doesn't offer goat. I'll be back for sure

That said, they have an interesting menu, including burgers and pizza. While I wasn't exactly wowed, I wasn't disappointed. Their chicken biryani could have been a bit more flavorful for my taste and the chicken makhani was pretty good (even though I ordered paneer). It's a small restaurant with pleasant service. In the end, it's not one of those "one-n-dones" for me. I'll go back at some point. In the meantime, why don't you have a try? Peace!

5 stars for Tabla Indian Restaurant in Schaumburg…read more This was my first visit today, and the food was absolutely delicious. I tried the Paneer Taka Tak - which was very tasty and flavorful, the paneer was crumbled into smaller pieces, not the traditional cubes you see at a lot of Indian Restaurants which was pretty unique. The Malai Kofta was also tasty, the sauce portions are pretty big, rice is an additional cost. There is plenty of seating inside the restaurant and they have an extensive mocktail and alcoholic drink selection. The last item I tried was the Mango Lassi - very tasty. Overall, I definitely recommend a visit to Tabla Indian Restaurant- great food!

It's drab and dreary inside and the wallpaper is yellowing and the fading plastic table covers give it a cheap tacky feeling - I'll order delivery next time and enjoy the good food at home thank you.

The food is less than desirable. It is a self service restaurant but when paying they ask if u want to tip. I don't know why tips are necessary when it is all self service and they provide zero service. If you have leftovers they will give you boxes, but no bag. You have to dispose of any trash yourself. No busboy. Water is free and you can refill it yourself. Like I said before...self service. We ordered the following: * Steamed Classic Momos - a couple were stuck to the plate and all the filling came out. The others were falling apart. The overall taste was not good. The chutney was spicy and not bad. * Punjabi Samosa - it tasted like frozen samosas reheated. Did not taste fresh. * Aloo Paratha - It was ok but tastes like it was reheated from frozen. Lots of ghee. * Paneer Tikka Masala - It was sweet and had zero spicy flavor. First time having any tikka masala taste sweet. * Palak Paneer - It tasted like grass. Lacked any in depth flavor. * Garlic Naan - It was so paper thin it could have been a crispy cracker. Do not recommend eating here. Disappointed.

High prise I thought and I think I've gotten the love for Indian Bistro too! There's several tables available for dine in, but I think it's more a takeaway place. They had a table reserved for 8 in the corner by the front and apparently we were the honored party as we had the opportunity to dine there as we needed two tables. It's the best seat I thought since they literally handed the food to me over the counter once it was plated. The staff is super friendly and they made sure that our food was absolutely piping hot upon service. The value is solid. We had the chicken 65, butter chicken, and hakka noodles. While I thought the hakka noodles were a tad on the softer side the flavor was awesome. Butter chicken was rich and flavorful and the chicken 65 was my fav, reminded me of a similar Chinese dish. I'll definitely come back to try more of the menu.
