Butter chicken empanadas: I wish this was a little more cooked (similar to empanadas crunch) but was still good with the sauce. Chicken tikka penne: this was good we got it spicy and it was full of flavor Sizzling chicken cafreal: this was not bad. I would want to try something else next time. It was heavy on the gara masala taste. Service was quick and our server was very polite read more

Medium size space with booth and other table seating. This is my second time here and service has been improved. People were helpful in answering our question. They are not closing in afternoon is perk for me. Fusion wrap - 5/5 - Tasty fusion with paneer Veg. Seekh kebab - 4/5 - Good taste may be need work on seasoning. Paneer Biryani - 1/5 - Masala spice hit me badly. Raita was tart so can not lower down the spiciness. It was not like chilling spice but more dry masala that was hard to handle even by person who eats habanaro. I did not have good luck with entrees here but appetizers are always good. read more

This is a newly opened spot and I was dying to go here ! We ordered chicken tandoori for appetizers and chicken sizzler for the mains. To be honest I was expecting a more decent sizzler than what I got. The chicken on the sizzler was bone in which made it difficult to eat. (Unlike any other sizzler I have had the chicken is boneless ) and there were not very many vegetables on the sizzler platter. Just rice chicken and fries. The chicken tandoori was decent. Not that great. Paan mousse at the end was definitely refreshing! Service was great. We went on weekday for dinner not crowded at all. Ambience is nice:) read more

Absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is beautiful and the food was delicious. Service was on point. My friend and I both got chaitinis and they were delicious. We also got samosas and this fried cauliflower appetizer that was a little spicy but not too much. I could eat that cauliflower every day it was so good. My friend got the Korma Mushroom Ravioli and I got the tumeric shrimp and the sauce was so good. I can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu. read more

First Indian restaurant in dt Naperville so had to come out n try! The menu is super broad with so many fusion options, but I ended up going with the paneer tacos and paneer makhani. The tacos were super stuffed with toppings and had plenty of sauce. The paneer makhani was very standard but tasty. I'd recommend for solid Indian food, it wasn't anything over the top but everything was good read more

Went tonight for a birthday celebration and enjoyed it even more than expected! We were intrigued by the fusion concept of the menu, but primarily stuck with Indian food dishes. I have to say we enjoyed all the dishes we chose. We started with Bao buns with delicious chicken. With garlic and plain naan we enjoyed two types of chicken, lamb dish and salmon. Ordered all medium spicy which was perfect. None of the dishes were too oily or over spiced. Added an order of Kashmiri biryani, really full of flavor but not taking away from the other dishes. Staff was attentive clearing plates and filling water. Owner came and chatted with us and brought a complimentary dessert for the birthday celebration. The music was a little loud but nice set up inside and understand they'll have a banquet hall next door. We'll go back and try more fusion items next time. read more

Located in downtown Naperville, Temptin Indian Fusion offers traditional and fusion foods. The interior is warm and welcoming with plush booths and tables. Service is friendly and attentive. There's quite a bit too choose from on the menu. You'll see some crossover with Italian, Thai, and American cuisine. I was in the mood for something authentic so I went for the bhuna giant, a lamb curry. While the food was good, rice does not come with this dish and any of the curry dishes. Why not? I ordered some garlic naan, which was freshly made and always good with curry, but not having any rice with an expensive entree left a sour taste in my mouth. I like the unique menu at Temptinn, but having the basics down would make this better. read more

4 minutes ago New My husband and I just ate here after a day of shopping because we couldn't resist the delicious smells emanating from the restaurant as we walked by. Let me tell you, we have zero regrets about this choice. We got the classic butter chicken, the korma mushroom ravioli, butter naan, kashmiri naan, and gulab jamun. Every single thing was delicious -- the sauces were rich and fragrant, the bread was fresh and chewy, the gulab jamun was heavenly. Best meal we've had in recent memory! We can't wait to go back! Do your taste buds a favor and get there as soon as you can! read more

A Taste of Goa in Naperville - TemptInn Indian Fusion After browsing TemptInn's menu online, I was excited to see several Goan dishes--a rare find in Naperville. As a Goan myself, I had high hopes, and I wasn't disappointed. We visited for a Valentine's Day lunch and were warmly welcomed by Anthony, the owner, who has lived in both Goa and Bombay--just like me. He shared his vision of creating an Indian restaurant that stands apart from the many South Indian spots in town, and I think he's succeeded. With so many tempting options, choosing was tough, but we settled on: -Gobi Manchurian (mild) -Goan Shrimp Biryani -Sizzling Chicken Cafreal (with rice and fries) -Sizzling Goan Recheado Masala Pompano The Gobi Manchurian was perfectly crispy and spiced just right--an absolute delight. The Goan Shrimp Biryani transported me straight back to Goa, with bold, authentic flavors and plenty of shrimp (they didn't skimp!). The Chicken Cafreal was flavorful and true to its Goan roots; the spice level could be dialed down a bit, but the buttery, fragrant rice it came with was incredible. I'd happily trade the fries for more of that rice! The Sizzling Recheado Masala Pompano had that unmistakable, tangy recheado masala flavor I know and love. However, I found the fish too bony--I'm more accustomed to recheado-stuffed pomfrets or mackerels. That said, it was still a treat to experience these flavors outside of India. Overall, TemptInn delivers on its promise of unique, well-executed Indian fusion. I'd definitely order the biryani, gobi manchurian and cafreal again--and I can't wait to try more from their menu! read more

I had high hopes for this place, especially since we came to celebrate a birthday -- but the experience really missed the mark from start to finish. We made a reservation through Google and noted it was a birthday celebration, but that was never acknowledged by the staff -- not even a simple "happy birthday." Once we were seated, we waited over 10 minutes before anyone approached our table. When our server finally came by, there was no greeting -- just a blunt "Are you ready to order?" No hello, no welcome, nothing. We ordered the Fusion West South Rolls, Indian Spicy Crab Cakes, and the Majestic Chicken Bao Buns. As someone who is half Indian and very familiar with how bold and flavorful Indian spices can be, I was surprised at how bland everything tasted. Nothing really stood out -- it felt like a missed opportunity for a menu that sounds much more exciting than it delivers. We only ate 2 out of the 3 bao buns, and when our server asked if we liked them, we honestly said no and explained why. He didn't offer to get a manager, take them off the bill, or make things right in any way -- just nodded and moved on. That felt disappointing, especially since we didn't order anything else and just asked for the check. For two mocktails and three appetizers, the total came out to $75, which felt really overpriced given the lackluster flavors and underwhelming service. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and we will not return. read more

Nice room, great service and delicious dishes. We enjoyed the Paneer Tiki, Garlic naan, and Fusion tacos.

Even after making reservations, accommodations were horrible. When we entered, the service from the original host and waiters was not good. The buffet was not good, they were not filling the food to accommodate the amount of people there. The area for the buffet was very cramped. I am hoping that they get better since they just recently opened. read more

Everything we ate here was so yummy but the bao was definitely the favorite. Service was fast and the ambiance was that of a normal nice calm desi restaurant. read more

Great little place with unique offerings and huge portions. We definitely should have shared because everything comes with extra plates for sharing and again the portions are ginormous! My husband had goat for the first time and loved it. My kids found the mild to be too spicy for them but I love spice so I enjoyed my medium level a lot, and the chili naan was spicy perfection. read more

Just ate lunch here and very happy! The fusion menu was what attracted me so we ordered from that side. (2 sided menu, one with fusion and the other more traditional Indian). We got 2 appetizers, the crabcake and the chicken lollipops. Both came out very fresh and hot. Lollipops were generous portion and fried perfectly. Had a good level of spice. The crabcakes were splendid. Perfect amount of crabmeat and great flavors. For the entrees we got Goan dishes, one was the whole pompano recheado and the other was the sizzling chicken cafreal. Both were very fresh and had great unique flavors. Our waitress Vinny was super friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back and trying more things! A very welcome addition to downtown Naperville! read more

We ordered lunch take out from Temptinn and also had their weekend buffet. The takeout menu has excellent deals, much cheaper than similar Indian restaurants in the area. Food is authentic and very high quality. The location is also convenient for sit down meals or take out. Easy to find parking near the restaurant. read more

What are you doing for dinner? You're going here, that's what. Park behind the building in the parking garage and go through the back door like you're a regular. "But Indian food is too spicy!" Stop that thought right now. I saw you eating your pizza with Cholula. You can order your food mild, medium, or hot. For the items that had levels offered I got them medium. I'm a Gora who likes some heat. The appetizers were amazing. The chicken was crispy and the spices were perfectly mixed for that depth of spicy flavors I love from Indian food. Our main courses were also so flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. The shrimp had that texture and almost bursting bite feel that I love. We also had the Kashmiri naan and a couple of chias. There aren't any pictures of the naan because as soon as it showed up you could smell how good it was going to be. We devoured like we hadn't eaten in days and couldn't care less about the pictures. It's sweet enough to call it dessert and I should have ordered some to go. I'll definitely do that next time. The service was excellent. When we went in they were weren't busy and they sat us in a way that gave us some privacy. I've been to places that fill up some areas of their space before moving to the next. This wasn't the case here. I appreciated being sat this way so as the place fills up it doesn't seem so crowded. The waitstaff were helpful and very attentive. Extra water showed up without asking, plates were removed quickly, plates brought from the kitchen were timed well so the meal flowed easily. Well done. read more

We went there for Chat night on Thursday. The food was fine, although the menu could have been a bit better but no major complains with the food. Our server/host was fine and courteous as well. It sounded like he was very new into the job (4 weeks) but still did a superb job at settling us down and making us familiar with the restaurant. However, then we witnessed something horrific that doesn't meet the service standards for the restaurants in this area. One of the manager came to the patio and started yelling (literally!!) on our server because he had accommodated a family of 8 by joining 2 tables together in the patio. Then we saw this manager being rude to 2 other families for their need of a bigger table. This is considering that this restaurant had no accommodation for families more than 4 people. I have never seen a restaurant service manager talk to families like that in US, and also the behavior with the server for accommodating a larger family on a table was unforeseen. We will not visit this place again only for poor service (by the senior service people) read more

Delicious food here at a very affordable price. Good portions as well! Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Indian food!!! We got the chicken tiki masala, garlic naan, vegetable samosas, paneer masala, and chicken biriani. 10\10! read more

Great restaurant. Must try their Appetizers, Lovely selection and awesome taste . I had Kashmiri pulav and Methi Malai Sag , Simply out of the world. A bit pricy though, probably because of Naperville down town area . Service was top notch, extremely friendly staff . Will definitely go back again. read more

LOVE this place for Indian food! First time went on a date night, food was all very good and service was good as well - super friendly. Amazing food: Bhuna Ghost (lamb, mild) and Paneer Makhani (mild) especially. Meat was tender and flavorful - very good quality. Also enjoyed the Lamb Biryanis and Fusion Clay Oven Tacos. Casual, laid back atmosphere, was reasonably lowkey when we were there on a Saturday evening with a good mix of couples, families, and friend groups. Ordered takeout via their website for a second time via ChowHound and was as good the second time - HUGE fan off the Bhuna Ghost (lamb, mild) and Paneer Makhani (mild). Scrumptious naan as well. This is my go-to Indian place in Naperville and holds its own (while lower key/more relaxed but food caliber is amazing) against great Indian restaurants in Chicago and London. read more

We were a bit disappointed with the food, especially the vegetarian dishes we tried-. Fusion Oven Clay Tacos: The paneer filling was tasty, but the rotis were quite chewy and hard to enjoy. Hara Bhara Kabab: Seemed undercooked and lacked flavor. Gobi Manchurian: This came highly recommended by our server, so we gave it a try. Unfortunately, it was just average and a bit too sour for my palate. As for the cocktails, they were quite average. I tried the spicy margarita and later asked for the guava mocktail to be spiked--this was the most enjoyable drink, but still nothing stood out or felt particularly impressive. My friend who eats non-vegetarian really enjoyed the Murgh Malai Tikka, which was probably the highlight of our table. I got the impression that the place may be better suited for non-vegetarian dishes, especially since our server had limited suggestions when we asked for vegetarian recommendations. The ambience was okay, though the space felt a bit too dark for our taste read more

had high hopes for this restaurant, but unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. Despite having a reservation, we were seated and then completely ignored for 25 minutes before a server even acknowledged us. When we finally placed our order, the appetizer arrived at the same time as the entrée, completely defeating the purpose. To make matters worse, my food was served before my Sprite even made it to the table. As for the food itself, it was shockingly bland for an Indian restaurant--lacking the rich flavors and spices I was expecting. To top it all off, the prices were way too high for the quality and service we received. Overall, a frustrating and underwhelming experience. I won't be returning. read more

Food was super yummy!! Loved the numerous choices in the menu. Glad to have an Indian restaurant in Downtown Naperville.

The food was top notch. The service was a little slow as the appetizer arrived before the cocktails. But the food was really great. Would definitely go back. read more

yesterday I had the pleasure of dining at Tempt inn, and I can confidently say it's one of the best culinary experiences I've ever had! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for what was to come. The menu at tempt inn is a true testament to innovation. Each dish is crafted with creativity that showcases both familiar flavors and adventurous combinations. I started with the appetizer special, which featured unique flavor pairings that danced on my palate. It was refreshing to see such imagination in the kitchen! For the main course, I indulged in one of their signature dishes, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. The presentation was stunning, and the taste was nothing short of amazing. You can tell that the chefs are passionate about their craft, as every bite was expertly balanced and bursting with flavor. I also want to highlight their drink menu, which perfectly complements the food. I tried a cocktail that was both innovative and refreshing, making it a delightful pairing with my meal. The service at Tempinn was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. They made excellent recommendations and ensured that my dining experience was top-notch. In conclusion, if you're looking for a restaurant that marries innovative cuisine with exceptional service, look no further than Tempt inn. I can't wait to return and explore more of their creative offerings. Highly recommended! read more

great fusion food. Try chicken lollipop for sure. ambiance is classy. service is amazing. little on expensive side but worth trying. Sizzling brownie is must try. read more

Food is amazing. Great ambience. Kids friendly place. Lamp biryani is much better than chicken ones.

Tried the chaat night and boy it was a disaster . Food is absolutely flavorless and bland. Total waste of money .

The ambiance is good. Felt little bit unwelcome when the waitress refused to sit us in any of the convenient tables. We have reserved for 6 and the restaurant was pretty much empty when we entered. She kept saying they are all reserved. Later noticed a gentleman (may be owner) visiting those tables frequently asking if everything is OK. I assume they are booked for owner's friends and acquaintances and those spoke his language. The owner pretty much did not even make an attempt to say hello to others even though he passed by several times. One of the lady taking orders and running to kitchen is very nice. But felt she is overloaded with more tables. Sizzler with Chlli chicken is good. Chicken lollipops are my favorite. Sizzling chicken cafreal is below expectations. Butter chicken empanadas can be taken out of menu for their poor quality. Traditional Indian dishes like Biryani are good. I recommend not to try so called fusion dishes. The music is very loud where we were seated. Pricing is reasonable. It's different Indian restaurant in the area. Good downtown location for one time visit. I personally did not feel welcome, then why bother second visit. read more

We enjoyed an early dinner here. We ordered the tacos and fried goat cheese salad from the fusion side of the menu and the butter chicken with plain naan from the Indian menu. All of them were great and enjoyable. It was a lot of food, so we were able to bring some home. There's more we want to try so we'll definitely be back read more

Went for lunch. Many questions on the huge menu and they took the time to explain. Had the Green Curry it was outstanding! The cauliflower appetizer was recommended and it was excellent (on the hot side). We will be coming back. read more

Excellent food!!! The service was amazing. We will definitely be going there again and again!

ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! We had never tried Indian fusion, and were pleasantly impressed! We had Butter Chicken Empanadas as a starter, and Temptinn Chicken Tikka Special, Saag Gosht, and Classic Chicken Biryani, all of them delicious. Oh, and Cheese Naan, too. Service was friendly and timely, and the ambiance of the place was very welcoming. Our experience was definitely much better than that of some other reviewers. Can't wait to be back to try dishes such as Fusion Clay Oven Tacos, Chicken Tikka Parmesan, Tandoori Chimichurri Shrimp and others. Highly recommended! read more

Went on Thursday for their much advertised chat buffet. Papdi was stale, panipuri and papdi with no condiments ( chutnies etc), noodles and fried rice had no flavor. Everything was cold and unappetizing. 1 star is for panipuri water and bhaji. read more

We decided to try a new Indian fusion restaurant for Valentine's Day after seeing some social media ads and news articles. We made a reservation a week in advance. Since my wife is pregnant, I requested a booth for comfort, but the host said those were only for larger groups. Instead, we were given a table for four across from the booths where other couples were seated. The table had visible scratch marks, but we decided to let it go. The noise from the waiter stations was quite noticeable, which made the atmosphere less relaxing. For appetizers, we ordered medium-spice soya chaap and Southwest rolls. However, after about 10 minutes, our server returned to confirm our order because she had forgotten to enter it into the system. She apologized and assured us the food would be ready in five minutes. When the food arrived, the soya chaap was extremely spicy--more like it was just coated in masala. The portion sizes were also smaller than expected. After this experience, we decided to skip the main course and left within 30 minutes. I rarely write negative reviews, and I understand that new restaurants take time to get things right. I received a text asking for feedback but noticed there wasn't a comment section to share my thoughts. Since they're still new, I'd be willing to give them another try in the future to support a local business. I hope they improve because the concept is interesting! read more
