    Halal Lamb in Andrha Gongura Masala Curry
    Scott M.

    I read the Yelps, and was intrigued. When I pulled up in front of it, I almost kept driving. It looks like a chain, which always puts me in a different state of mind, and I was a bit disappointed this might be the case with Tapri. There was one spot open in the limited parking in front of the place, so I took that as a good sign and went in. I sunk a bit more to find the room cold and uninviting. Uh-oh. I was the onliest person in the joint. Uh-oh X 2. I kept coming back to the Yelps indicating the eats here were pure money. I sat down. Weird way of ordering, basically they send you to a Doordash-type thing to order on your fone, then they bring it out. Uh-Oh #3... Well... Started with "Paani-Poori" Appetizer, then "Andhra Gongura Masala with Lamb" and Garlic Naan. The Paani-Poori came out in a distinctive setting, and the youngish girl showed me the proper way to consume, as I had never came across anything looking like this. It was totally fab and totally unique! OK Tapri had my attention! Almost immediately after the Paani came to the table, my Mains showed up. The table was almost too small to hold it all. (perhaps this was consequence of the strange way of ordering. As the Gongura looked and smelled excellent, I decided to treat the starter as a "side dish" and plowed ahead. That Gongura was TOTALLY yum. The Lamb was perfectly tender, and legitimately HOT. So many places claim their foods are "Hot" , but they are selling culinary wolf tickets. Same thing with the Garlic Naan-a lot of places SAY "garlic" but there's barely a whiff in the final product. Not here. The garlic note was strong, just the way I like it--and it was a perfect pairing with the Gongura. I et all the protein, and poured the remaining curry over the basmati in a "to-go". I wasn't letting any of this get past me. (it was fab the next day as accompaniment to a grilled hanger steak.). No refills on the Diet Coke, but a small gripe in face of the great cuisine. It wasn't cheap, but I din't mind the tab, as the feed was so fine. The service was warm and personable. In sum total, one of the best Indian feeds I ever had. Throwing 5 well-earned stars. I'll deffy be back! Just shows to go ya, you can't judge a restaurant by it's facade (or lack of it)

    Perfectly cooked samosas
    Jeudi J.

    This place is a gem. Chicken korma? Perfect. Samosas? Fresh and light as can be. Dum biryani with goat? I'm from California and I've been eating goat in many forms for years but this was by far the best I have ever had in my life, tender, juicy, fresh and tasty with perfectly cooked rice. The hot chai tea was a new flavor for me, different than I've even had in India and delicious. The two servers were attentive, helpful, charming. Food came out fast but was so fresh you know it's homemade with love. They've transformed the place into an airy, pleasant space that could accommodate crowds and should be full all the time! I cannot wait to go back and try the chili chicken, a fusion dish that looks amazing, and everything else. Highly recommend! Will be back; so glad our favorite Thai place is closed on Wednesday and that we ended up here! BTW, my date had never eaten Indian food and he loved it so I think this is a great place to try things for those new to the cuisine.

    Great food with good options. Service was great. The ambience was okay but not the best for a dining restaurant.

    Small space with couple 4 seating tables and rest is two seater. Service was confusing as I was asked to order online while next family get to order with person. Mango Lassi- 5/5 - good taste and consistency Veg. Makkah noodles- 4/5 - adding mushroom and spice will be good Mushroom tempura - 4/5 - good with noodles Jackfruit biryani - 2/5 - the masala has very strong flavor but not typical biryani masala. Did not feel good about the spice. Jalebi rabdi - 4/5 - fresh jalebi and rabdi is good too.

    Tapri -- Casual Dining with Thoughtful Indian Fusion Tapri offers a relaxed, café-style dining experience rather than a traditional fine-dining setup, with casual seating and an easygoing atmosphere. What stands out immediately is the expansive vegetarian menu, centered on Indian fusion and creative reinterpretations of familiar flavors. While the setting is informal, many of the dishes feel thoughtfully curated--almost as if they belong in a fine-dining context, presented in a more approachable, everyday format. We tried the Paneer Bao, Salli Idli, Mushroom Haleem Arancini, Hakka Noodles, and Sticky Date Pudding. Among these, the Mushroom Haleem Arancini and Sticky Date Pudding were clear standouts. The arancini was perfectly spiced and crisp, served atop a warm, rich, and indulgent mushroom haleem--an unexpectedly successful vegetarian take on a dish traditionally associated with meat. It was creative, comforting, and genuinely memorable. The Sticky Date Pudding was equally satisfying and a strong finish to the meal. Another highlight is the value. Tapri is impressively budget-friendly, especially considering the level of creativity and execution on the plate. It's surprising that the restaurant isn't discussed more widely, as it is one of the few places confidently showcasing innovative Indian fusion while keeping it accessible and affordable. Tapri strikes a rare balance--casual, creative, and reasonably priced--and is well worth seeking out for anyone interested in vegetarian Indian fusion done right.

    This is located next door to Chef Soon and Sport Clips. You can find parking in the front as well as plenty in the back. Inside the restaurant is on the smaller side. It wasn't hard to find a table. Prices are slightly on the expensive side but great quality. Service was good. Our server made sure that our dishes were not super spicy. We ordered tangdi kabab, garlic naan, roganjosh with halal lamb, chettinaadu with white shrimp, mango lassi, irani chai, and mango kulfi. Overall, it's a 4 out of 5. I think they need to work on drink sizes like for the Irani chat and the prices for some of the desserts. You want to give the customers good value so that they will come back. I'll come back for the food but I'll stick with tap water from now on. Desserts I found a better value at the Karak cafe in Lisle. -tangdi kabab 5 - the description on the website was right. The chicken was really juicy. I loved the spices. Medium spicy but very enjoyable. Make sure you use the mint chutney. -garlic naan 5 - very soft and fluffy. I like to take a piece and dip it into the curry sauces. -roganjosh with halal lamb 5 - curry flavor is more robust than the other one, I really liked all of the spices. The lamb was very tender. -chettinaadu with white shrimp 5 - the curry flavor has a sweeter taste due to the coconut and plenty of smaller size shrimps. -mango lassi 5 - texture and taste are different from the other versions I've had but it's still very tasty. -irani chai 4 - pretty flavorful but I wished it came in a bigger cup or at least a tea pot for the table. For $4 I could have gone to one of those Middle Eastern cafes for a bigger size. -mango kulfi 4 - tastes like regular mango ice cream but with like rose petals sprinkled on them. I don't think it's worth $9.

    Delicious Indian food and drinks. We really enjoyed coming here. I had the butter chicken and the garlic naan, both of which were great. The restaurant is small and tables are a little bit closer together but it was definitely manageable. There is parking outside of the strip mall that the restaurant is in.

    Veg Hakka Noodles
    Sagarika G.

    If you love Indian food, Tapri is the place for you! Tapri is a recent addition to the Woodridge area and it has truly won hearts with its beautiful decor and delicious food! We ended up getting the chai, pani puri, butter chicken masala, garlic naan, and veggie Hakka noodles. The pani puri stole the showwwww! The spiced water tasted just like home and the toppings were absolutely phenomenal! The butter chicken masala and garlic naan were outstanding. Both were so beyond flavorful and so fresh. I do wish there was more chicken in the curry. Finally, the veggie Hakka noodles were FANTASTIC! They were buttery and filled with so many wonderful flavors and seasonings! Absolutely loved all the dishes! When it comes to service, it was a bit slow. There was only 1 person seating people, taking ordering, delivering food, and cleaning up. I hope that given how busy they are already getting, they hire more staff so more people can experience their delicious food!

    This is an excellent restaurant and clearly a labor of love. We eat Indian food fairly regularly and sometimes cook our own; I've also eaten at fancy Michelin star Indian restaurants. In my judgment, Tapri compared favorably with the best of these and in several ways exceeded them. We tried something like 8-9 different dishes, ranging from very good to excellent, with only one I didn't care for. The ingredients are clearly fresh and on the more "natural" side. The marketing claims Indian/Asian fusion, and that is true ... but I'd say it's closer to Indian fine dining, with some of the details and quality that implies. It is definitely unique and the quality is FAR HIGHER than the prices and location suggest. There is art here: in the food and in the presentation (eg, like platters or glassware). Particularly impressive are the drinks: a long list of thoughtfully chosen wines, beers, whiskies, etc -- many of them high quality options from India I'd never even seen or heard of. The items on the list that aren't Indian are also very well chosen, e.g., mostly French and Italian win. Much of the wine was also available by the glass (how often does that happen?) and you could tell it was all chosen to pair with the cooking style. We also tried multiple house cocktails (all of them influenced by Indian food or drinks) and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Even the coffee is good! The location is plain and small but bright and inviting with some attractive touches, like the comfy green seats on the wall -- again, clearly a labor of love. Best of all, it's all affordable. All of it! The potential here is huge. I'd say the care and quality in several areas is close to a Michelin star restaurant; I wouldn't be surprised if it gets there and I am really interested to see how the menu is refined over time. What this place really needs is a prixe fixe menu with drink pairings. This is my new place of mine for sure. Highest recommendation!

    Tangdi Kabab
    Amita G.

    We tried this newly opened Indian place for dinner. It is a small place for dining in. Most of the people were getting take outs. The kitchen seems small as there was quite a bit of line for take outs. Food wise it's great! We ordered Bao buns with paneer but they weren't that great. The tangdi kabab were delicious! Mains was chicken chettinad again amazing taste wise. They have limited menu items. I also got to finally taste their jalebi rabdi after weeks of wait! It was absolutely amazing!! Must try!! All in all I would recommend to try this place :)

It took about 15 for the roll to come out and then another 10-15 minutes for the samosa chaat out and they literally forgot the doodh pathi until we asked about it at the end. The excuse was that they were making it from scratch? The roll was decent, really just tasted and felt like they got the ingredients from Patel Brothers and threw it together. Same with the somosa chaat, which didn't even have a samosa. It was just one deconstructed samosa crushed along the plate and covered in yogurt and some chutneys. There was more chickpeas than samosa. Both dishes were something I'd expect to put together at home last minute if a guest showed up unannounced and even then i'd be embarrassed to serve this stuff. We got the doodh pathi finally as we were heading out and we expected a soothing drink of tea leaves brewed in milk. Unfortunately all you taste is milk. Wouldn't recommend

Definitely recommend this spot if you love authentic chai or South Indian-style coffee -- a true hidden gem worth visiting!

I love that the amount of sweetened condensed milk was just right where the coffee didn't end up being too sweet. I do want to point out that the drink didn't seem like the strongest coffee around, and the taste closer resembled tea with a little milk added. I should have gone to the Vietnamese coffee the cashier offered! I also tried a piece of their sour cream coffee cake. Warmed wonderfully, and with just the right amount of sweetness, crispness, and just a little tang from the sour cream. This was terrific, and something I would absolutely get again. The vibe is classic with lots of wood, and plenty of comfortable seating. However, if you choose to take advantage of their WiFi, you are asked to buy a drink first, and then every 30 minutes after an hour. I understand where this comes from, and it serves as a deterrent from someone buying one drink and spending a working day in here. However, it also makes Sweetwaters seem like less of a spot to chill and catch up on Yelp reviews (for e.g.,), as I'd have to set a stopwatch to not break the rules. Final verdict: while the Dragon Eye could've had some coffee flavors, the coffee cake helped bring the experience up. While the vibe is classic, don't expect to sit and work without keeping the drinks coming.
