I had a really disappointing lunch here. We had the buffet. They told us they would refill the things that were finished in the buffet, but they only refilled the chicken dish and the samosas, nothing else. The food wasn't great. The only thing eatable was the goat curry. I would definitely advise against the buffet.

I should have left when I did not see any cars in this run down mall. I hardly ate anything - the ambiance was another clue - there was a constant smell - we had Buffett and I could not enjoy any of it - wife liked some portions of it - I would have given a negative but since wife liked a little I gave it a one star.

Three girlfriends and I were excited to eat at Bisi Restaurant (a Nigerian restaurant) on a Tuesday night. We got there and they were closed, despite the internet saying they'd be open. So we decided on Indian and went to Clay Oven and THEY were closed - dang! So our third choice was New Delhi, which I had eaten at years ago. It turned out to be an inspired choice! One woman in our party had never had Indian food before, so our server (the owner's son) took great pains to explain what she might like. He brought us free appetizers and a little dessert so she could taste them. A great way to make customers for life! I got the #1 vegetarian thali and it was outstanding. One friend and I had eaten at Gaylord in Schaumburg a couple of weeks ago and New Delhi blew them away in terms of quality, taste, presentation and service. I will never go back to Gaylord after eating at New Delhi. My friends each got chicken dishes and naan and they were all very satisfied. I will go back here again and again. As they say, third time's the charm!

My Dining out group went here saturday night. Beautiful interior.Perfect for taking a date. Fresh food/awesome preparation & flavors. Shockingly small portions & we had to pay extra for naan........3 diners @$25 each=$75 for lentils & eggplant? ok, i had a beer........but christ!

Solid 4 stars here. My unwed life partner and I stopped in for dinner on a Tuesday. There were only 4 tables with people sitting and just one server doubling as host and waiter. However, I still found the service to be very polite and attentive. I've been struggling to find a go to Indian restaurant since the heartbreaking closure of Himalayan Restaurant on Army Trail Rd. Thankfully, I think my search is over. We had the chicken tikka masala, a lamb dish, and a lentil veggie. Everything was delicious, and the lamb was super tender. Also, the garlic naan may be the best I've ever had. When the server learned it was our first time there, he even threw in two small desserts for free. I'll definitely be back.

I like this place. Mostly Indian people eating here. I guess that should tell you it's a good place for Indian food. For me it certainly was one of the much better ones I've been too. Quiet atmosphere and clean and well lit. My Chicken Tikka Massala was very tasty and so was the tomato soup I ordered as appetizer. Definitely recommend this place.

OMG I LOVED THIS PLACE. Surprisingly, most of the Northern Indian places around us aren't so good. India House is good, but the service was TERRIBLE both times I went. While we only had one waiter (an early dinner), he was SUPER friendly, and great with the recommendations. I'm not a Butter Chicken guy, but wife and kids loved it. The Lamb Rogan Josh... GREAT!!! And it may seem a small thing, but the Naan was GREAT too. I'm a bit of a bread snob, and so most places just have "ok" bread to me. Most definitely returning.

We stopped by this place while staying just for one night in Schaumburg. I would have to say it was absolutely wonderful. I'm giving it 4 stars only because I prefer a sit down restaurant with no TV, however the server did turn the volume down once more guests came in. We each got a different dish and had plenty to pass around so everyone could try something different; there was plenty for everyone. I suggest getting a basket of bread over the rice. Friendly service.

We went here for some masala tea and paneer pakora. The waiter seemed nice at first but when it became clear that we were not going to order a main course he became just a bit more hostile and told us something to the effect of "we usually keep the tables to people who order main courses only. Next time you come you should take this type of order on the go" (he said this to us in Hindi no less). Most of the restaurant was empty at the time- it still took them over 40 minutes to make two cups of tea and an order of pakora. The pakora was okay but the masala tea tasted more like water. The way the waiter treated us was bad enough for us not to go back there again.

Wow! By far the best indian food I had, I can't believe I haven't been here before and skipped out on it. If you have driven past this place many times, like I have it looks like a small place. But go inside and the atmosphere is beautiful and big. The most important part is the food, and which is why I gave them five stars. The lamb pasanda, rogan josh and butter chicken , by far if not the best I ever had. My wife and I licked the plate clean. The naan is even the most perfect naan I have had to date. I even forgot to mention, that they gave us desserts in the house, since it was our first time. They have made a customer.

Nichole C.
Okay, so the place is a little random (it's in a strip mall, it's small, it's empty, and it has ONE lone person seating and serving you) but it's also really good. The prices are decent (For Indian food, that is. Why is Indian food so expensive?), portion sizes are smaller than other places you may have visited but they are PLENTY, sides are a la carte, and service would probably be slow if they were ever busy. When we were there, however, the food was delicious (especially my beloved chicken tikka masala with garlic naan, ordered medium spicy, which was saucy and awesome and ALMOST as good as the Gaylord one) and service was great. The server also gave us free desserts since he hadn't seen us before and wanted to make our first time welcoming. D'awwwwwww. See you again soon, New Delhi.

This small cozy restaurant is near my office. They have a nice lunch buffett. I am a HUGE fan of their express carryout lunch. About $6 gets you 3 veggies (or 2 veggies and chicken) plus rice and bread. You don't get to chose the food...but it is always delicious. Thanks, I'll be back.

Joshua R.
Not a place to visit on a weekend coz I'm surprised that they don't even have enough staff to serve the tables ... I sure have no complains if the food is not up to my expectation but atleast sit the customers down and place a glass of water on the table so that the customers don't feel ignored ... Ridiculous ... No water, no menu... Absolutely worst management...

To tell you the truth, the name of this restaurant is what initially brought me here. Since my mother is from Delhi and having spent quite a few of my childhood days there, I had to try it out, if only for the namesake. It was Diwali night, so a very good occasion to go out for some Indian cuisine. The restaurant was quiet, it was still early as far as indian dinner time goes, but did get quite busy towards the end. Im not sure If I can attest to the restaurant being busy for popularity or because of it being an indian holiday. Anyhow, we ordered the non veg platter appetizer to start, and to drink they have few indian beers in the real size bottles, yes the big ones, so that was a plus. The appetizer was good the samosa was great, crunchy and flavorful and the meats, boti kabab and shiekh kebab were really good too. Was not too impressed with the pakoras, doughy and a little salty. For mains we had chicken tikka masala and goat curry along with garlic naan, roti and rice for accompaniment. The goat curry was absolutely delicious, just like you find in the good restaurants of new delhi. The meat was tender and the sauce was perfect, not too oily and very scrumptious. The tikka masala was good too. We ordered the tikka masala spicy but it was more of a medium level. We will now know that if we need spicy to ask for very spicy, each restaurant has their own way of gaging spice. The naan and roti was very good fresh and hot. The service was polite they could use more hands, too many people doing too many things, Diwali night could not have helped. The price resonable and the ambiance decent, nothing too elaborate and not shabby. I will go back there for the goat curry alone...and of course the name.

Why doesn't yelp let me give 0 stars? Basically went there with my brother, waited to be seated and no one talked to us so after a while we seated ourselves and looked at the menu. We were ready to order and still no one came. We looked at the workers who looked right back and they still didn't approach us so we left. Wow... and that's not a compliment.

Great little Indian place! It was my boyfriend's and my first time eating here and everything was exemplary. We had chicken curry, chicken tikka masala, naan, and rice. Everything was perfect. At the end of the meal they treated us with free desert. The server was very friendly, personable, and informative - answering the questions we had with a smile. I'd recommend this place over and over again.

My family and I have been going to this place for years. But our recent trip may be our last.. The minute we walked in, we did not get the complimentary papadam until after 20 mins. Next, the food has TOTALLY lost its original taste. It has become very bland and the quantity has went down. This place used to be really good-i just don't know what happened to their food. I also think that they are understaffed. They ended up messing up our bill with someone else's... (very concerning).

We decided to give this a try based off of other reviews. I am glad we did. Don't be put off by the fact that this restaurant is in a strip mall (Does the location really matter anyway?). They have a large menu, good service and most of all the food is fresh and delicious. I had the Lamb Bhoona and my girlfriend, whose never had Indian food, had the Chicken Tikka Masala. Get the garlic naan as well. We can't wait to go back!

Excellent goat curry and other flavorful dishes. Authentic dishes. We have gotten tired of the Westernized cuisine in some restaurants that Americanize their appeal by whisking the Curries with cream to tone down the spices. On the other extreme, there are restaurants that make their food super hot that few people can handle. This restaurant has the spice level just right. Clean restrooms (unfortunately, toilets are usually filthy in Indian restaurants). Great value for money at the lunch buffet.

Been going to this restaurant for 20 years, at least once a month, for dinner. Cooks have changed, staff has changed, ownership has been handed down. The food has had some problems at times during staff change re-education periods, but only for short interludes. I have eaten at many Indian restaurants in the Chicago suburbs, Chicago, and a few in New York, and one in London. This restaurant is by far the best of them all. I have dined on most of the menu offerings over the years and have been rarely disappointed.

Jaspreet S.
Mediocre at best! I ordered the chicken tikka masala. It is evident that the dish is unique because of the creamy but nicely spiced gravy accompanied by juicy pieces of white meat chicken cooked in a tandoor. Well the only problem about the dish at this establishment was that the gravy was nothing special and lacked flavor. The chicken was not cooked in a tandoor which makes a dramatic difference! After eating a flag ship dish at this restaurant I am confident that this was my first and last trip!

After spending the winter in Florida we returned to New Delhi for the first time in 6 months. It was even better than we remembered it. The dining room has been freshened up and the food is as good as ever. The best deals are the four combo dinners which range from $13 to $16 and include great Tandoori chicken, chicken Tikka and a choice of lamb or shrimp dishes , several sides, naan, rice, and dessert. My wife and I each get a different combo and then share everything with plenty left over for an other meal at home. Irwin S.

Holy customer service... I walked into this restaurant hoping for a dinner takeaway. I was craving Indian and didn't want to settle for a frozen meal, but I also didn't have the time to whip one up from scratch. I have NEVER encountered such rude service in my entire life. This is no exaggeration. I said I wanted to get a carryout, and the man (manager? owner?) barked, "What do you want?" and spent two minutes glaring at me rather than handing me a menu. They had some decent-sounding dinner offer taped on the entrance, so I asked for that. "No." .... No? Why no? "No." Ooookay. I finally got a menu, but the way he had behaved really sank in while I was looking it over. He walked away and wasn't paying any attention to me when I was about to order something, so I just walked out. I was not about to be sponsoring this jerk's behaviour. Think twice about how you treat your customers if you want to be in business for more than a week.

Wonderful service, delicious food. They stayed open 15 minutes late to give us a complimentary dessert (mango ice cream and a deep fried honey ball, absolutely delicious). The food was perfect, had the chicken curry and it was the juiciest chicken I've ever had. Great naan too, and their tamarind chutney is awesome.

For all the ubiquity of Indian restaurants in the Schaumburg area only a few really stick out. New Delhi Restaurant unfortunately isn't one of those, but that's not due to a lack of quality; in fact, it may be the best Indian food I've had so far in the northwest suburbs. I won't pretend to be an Indian food connoisseur; I usually get some kind of korma or curry and call it a day, and I couldn't tell you the difference between Murg Jalfrazi and Rogan Josh or Northern and Southern cuisine if my life depended on it. With that being said, the dishes I've eaten here have all been excellent. The Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Curry, Chicken Keema Masala & Paneer Makhani were rich, oily and generously spiced, and with 4 dishes I still haven't had a bad experience. I would recommend ordering it takeout though, and it seems that's what most people do - service can be slow and the ambiance can be a little weird (re: empty). Still, at this point it's the best takeout Indian north of the Elgin-O'Hare.

We have had takeout from here a few different times, but last night will be our last. The food overall is rather bland, which for Indian food is saying a lot. We have had the chana masala, dal vanjara, lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, etc. all very bland. They do make it hot if you ask for spicy, but then it is about the equivalent of peppery water. The only food worth going back for was the samosa which are very good. The naan, both garlic and plain, are mediocre. Last night, which was a Monday, took almost an hour to get a takeout order, which they had said would only take 35 mins. There was hardly anyone eating in the restaurant, so they weren't busy. Won't bother again, Cool Mirchi is much better, just wish they had better hours.

Just moved to Chicago from Cincinnati and expected this to out shine some restaurants back home. Wrong. I ordered the sagg chicken, while I like the addition of peppers and the spiciness, it was not thick enough and lacked rice on the side. I think I need to try some other indian restaurants in Chicago.

My wife and I ate at this restaurant for Dinner and then lunch 2 days later. We very much enjoyed the food. Good quality and it is nice on the inside. The inside of the restaurant definitely looks better than the outside, I was surprised how big the place was. The lunch buffet was good with a pretty good variety and good tasting food. Not my favorite buffet in the area, but it is quality and will fill you up.

Deeks K.
Perfect authentic north Indian food! I've eaten tons of good food in India and the US and I assure u this is one of the good ones. They really know how to spice things right. If u want perfectly prepared food go to the dinner al a carte. This way it is prepared to our taste. Buffets often lose flavored because it is prepared to cater to a very varied audience.

Food is very good here and priced right as compared to other Indian restaurants in this area. I visit this place whenever I travel to Chicago suburbs. I usually go here with my American coworkers, and they love the food here too. The service is very good too. One of the servers is the son of the owner and he goes to Northwestern and helps parents with this restaurant in the evening. He is always ready to help you out with the menu and teak it according to your preference. I love there #2 non-vegetarian platter. The New Delhi chicken and naan are awesome too. We usually drink a couple of Indian beers here with fish tikka. The chef always slides the desert on the house if we get drunk there lol.

India is the birth place of Chicken Tikka Masala and Curries. Indian foods are prepared with a blend of finely mixed spices quite popular across the region. The spices develop the rich taste in Indian food enough to boggle your mind. The ever-increasing fan base of Indian food around the New York city is steadily increasing because of the large number of Indians who traveled to the land of dreams. The Indians also brought their very own vibrant, colorful, and aromatic authentic dishes for the people in the West. While most of the Indian population is Vegetarian, Indian food is great for people who are looking for vegan or vegetarian food option. If you are a Meat lover, don't get disappointed yet. Indian food also boasts of some popular non-vegetarian dishes too. Few examples are the famous Butter Chicken, Mutton Biryani and Tandoori Chicken are enough to satisfy your taste buds.
Indian food has gained reputation all over the world especially in the United States. You can find many places serving the appetizing Indian food across all major cities in the US. India is a diverse country with different food culture originated from different parts of the country. While the Northern region boasts tandoori dishes and korma offering royal taste, the Western Ghats offers sea foods that is made in naturally sweet tender coconut milk. The South Indian food servers a quality of different dishes made from rice accompanied with spicy chutneys, curries and famous sambhar. Also, the Indian sweets are a delight to relish. If you ever want to have a burst of sugar syrup in mouth, don't forget to try few Bengali Sweets. Be it spicy, tangy, or sweet flavor, you can find everything in the Indian cuisine. Be assured that the melody of spices will surely bring delight to you.

Clean restrooms (unfortunately, toilets are usually filthy in Indian restaurants). Great value for money at the lunch buffet.

Been going to this restaurant for 20 years, at least once a month, for dinner. Cooks have changed, staff has changed, ownership has been handed down. The food has had some problems at times during staff change re-education periods, but only for short interludes. I have eaten at many Indian restaurants in the Chicago suburbs, Chicago, and a few in New York, and one in London. This restaurant is by far the best of them all. I have dined on most of the menu offerings over the years and have been rarely disappointed.

Mediocre at best! I ordered the chicken tikka masala. It is evident that the dish is unique because of the creamy but nicely spiced gravy accompanied by juicy pieces of white meat chicken cooked in a tandoor. Well the only problem about the dish at this establishment was that the gravy was nothing special and lacked flavor. The chicken was not cooked in a tandoor which makes a dramatic difference! After eating a flag ship dish at this restaurant I am confident that this was my first and last trip!

After spending the winter in Florida we returned to New Delhi for the first time in 6 months. It was even better than we remembered it. The dining room has been freshened up and the food is as good as ever. The best deals are the four combo dinners which range from $13 to $16 and include great Tandoori chicken, chicken Tikka and a choice of lamb or shrimp dishes , several sides, naan, rice, and dessert. My wife and I each get a different combo and then share everything with plenty left over for an other meal at home. Irwin S.

We were looking for a great little spot for Indian cuisine and we found it with New Dehli! The waiter helped with suggestions and he was spot on. We will be coming back!

Holy customer service... I walked into this restaurant hoping for a dinner takeaway. I was craving Indian and didn't want to settle for a frozen meal, but I also didn't have the time to whip one up from scratch. I have NEVER encountered such rude service in my entire life. This is no exaggeration. I said I wanted to get a carryout, and the man (manager? owner?) barked, "What do you want?" and spent two minutes glaring at me rather than handing me a menu. They had some decent-sounding dinner offer taped on the entrance, so I asked for that. "No." .... No? Why no? "No." Ooookay. I finally got a menu, but the way he had behaved really sank in while I was looking it over. He walked away and wasn't paying any attention to me when I was about to order something, so I just walked out. I was not about to be sponsoring this jerk's behaviour. Think twice about how you treat your customers if you want to be in business for more than a week.

Very good, sauces great, price points good, great flavor, Indian breads-good, vegetarian options & many reasons to return.This probably has the best lamb vindaloo I've had in a loooooong time! I highly recommend a visit here. Just shy on the soup selections or I'd give this place a 5 star in good faith based on my first visit.

Wonderful service, delicious food. They stayed open 15 minutes late to give us a complimentary dessert (mango ice cream and a deep fried honey ball, absolutely delicious). The food was perfect, had the chicken curry and it was the juiciest chicken I've ever had. Great naan too, and their tamarind chutney is awesome.

For all the ubiquity of Indian restaurants in the Schaumburg area only a few really stick out. New Delhi Restaurant unfortunately isn't one of those, but that's not due to a lack of quality; in fact, it may be the best Indian food I've had so far in the northwest suburbs. I won't pretend to be an Indian food connoisseur; I usually get some kind of korma or curry and call it a day, and I couldn't tell you the difference between Murg Jalfrazi and Rogan Josh or Northern and Southern cuisine if my life depended on it. With that being said, the dishes I've eaten here have all been excellent. The Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Curry, Chicken Keema Masala & Paneer Makhani were rich, oily and generously spiced, and with 4 dishes I still haven't had a bad experience. I would recommend ordering it takeout though, and it seems that's what most people do - service can be slow and the ambiance can be a little weird (re: empty). Still, at this point it's the best takeout Indian north of the Elgin-O'Hare.

We have had takeout from here a few different times, but last night will be our last. The food overall is rather bland, which for Indian food is saying a lot. We have had the chana masala, dal vanjara, lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, etc. all very bland. They do make it hot if you ask for spicy, but then it is about the equivalent of peppery water. The only food worth going back for was the samosa which are very good. The naan, both garlic and plain, are mediocre. Last night, which was a Monday, took almost an hour to get a takeout order, which they had said would only take 35 mins. There was hardly anyone eating in the restaurant, so they weren't busy. Won't bother again, Cool Mirchi is much better, just wish they had better hours.

Just moved to Chicago from Cincinnati and expected this to out shine some restaurants back home. Wrong. I ordered the sagg chicken, while I like the addition of peppers and the spiciness, it was not thick enough and lacked rice on the side. I think I need to try some other indian restaurants in Chicago.

My wife and I ate at this restaurant for Dinner and then lunch 2 days later. We very much enjoyed the food. Good quality and it is nice on the inside. The inside of the restaurant definitely looks better than the outside, I was surprised how big the place was. The lunch buffet was good with a pretty good variety and good tasting food. Not my favorite buffet in the area, but it is quality and will fill you up.

Perfect authentic north Indian food! I've eaten tons of good food in India and the US and I assure u this is one of the good ones. They really know how to spice things right. If u want perfectly prepared food go to the dinner al a carte. This way it is prepared to our taste. Buffets often lose flavored because it is prepared to cater to a very varied audience.

Food is very good here and priced right as compared to other Indian restaurants in this area. I visit this place whenever I travel to Chicago suburbs. I usually go here with my American coworkers, and they love the food here too. The service is very good too. One of the servers is the son of the owner and he goes to Northwestern and helps parents with this restaurant in the evening. He is always ready to help you out with the menu and teak it according to your preference. I love there #2 non-vegetarian platter. The New Delhi chicken and naan are awesome too. We usually drink a couple of Indian beers here with fish tikka. The chef always slides the desert on the house if we get drunk there lol.
