India Foodie Lounge

I visited the India Foodie Lounge for Mother's Day and had a delightful experience. We chose the buffet, which is priced at approximately $22 per person. The selection was impressive, offering a diverse array of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. My favorite dishes were the chicken tikka masala (have to eat it with garlic naan) and surprisingly the fruit salad with milk was delicious. We were seated immediately without a wait, despite not having a reservation. The service was exceptional, and the owner personally checked in on us, adding a thoughtful touch to our visit.The restaurant boasts ample seating and a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a meal with family.I will definitely be returning!

There are some items here that really shine. Their traditional Indian dishes are very good here. Quality- chicken tikka masala is probably one of the best I've had. It had a lot of chicken, the curry was really thick, and I can taste all the seasoning they put in there. It wasn't too spicy so nothing was overpowered. The shrimp vindaloo was also good. They are generous with the shrimp here and the seasoning was thorough. The mango lassi is thick and sweet. Perfect after a spicy dish. The chicken korma was not very good though. It was fried too much and had barely any chicken. Quantity- they give a good amount here. Atmosphere- big with lots of space. No annoying music or lights and not dark. Service- good and fast.

My husband and I just had an excellent experience dining at India Foodie Lounge in Bartlett. The waitstaff was very attentive and we had excellent entrée selections. My husband is not a fan of something spicy, so the recommendation of chicken tikki masala was amazing.

Don't let the name fool you, the Foodie Lounge serves a large selection of Northern India classics, including British Raj dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala, prepared the same way as we've experienced everywhere else.India Foodie Lounge is located near downtown Bartlett, in a strip mall that now has a recently opened ALDI. My sister-in-law mentioned it to me on our visit (she knows how much I like Indian food), so my daughter and i stopped in for a visit on a Saturday (Happy Lunar New Year!) for lunch. They open at 11:30AM, and we came soon after. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and allowed to choose where we sat. While being given menus (which is large), she mentioned that they have a lunch buffet ($14.99 for weekend) that would be ready in 15 minutes. That was a nice surprise, so decided to do that. -- small salad consisting of sliced vegetables, with large papads (lentil crackers).-- Total of 9 dishes for self-serve, plus basmati steamed rice -- non-descript noodles (spaghetti style) -- pakora mix - not good, way too dense -- lentil vegi soup - didn't look appetizing -- 4 Vegetarian Dishes: Veg Korma, Daal Tadka, Palak Paneer (cottage cheese in spinach), Paneer Makhani (solid) -- 2 chicken dishes: Chicken Tikka Masala (had this multiple times, it was very good with a thick curry, tender chicken breast pieces); Chicken Curry (thigh pieces cooked in a non-descript curry sauce) -- rice was good-- no chutneys or yogurts to add it. I get why they don't do this, but it's an important missing piece.Where the AYCE buffet shined, were the add-ons that they will bring to your table, if you ask for. First is the Naan...they asked how many we wanted...so thinking that meant 'pieces', we asked for 3. No...they meant a serving (each being the size of a platter, cut into 4 pieces)....we did finish it (barely). We got the garlic naan, and it was very good....they used a lot of turmeric to give it a bright yellow color, and because it was served fresh, it was wonderful. The second dish they offer table-side is the classic tandoori chicken. It was 4 pieces of dark meat chicken, glazed with a beautiful red hue (not spicy though). Really missed having chutney on this one (maybe they would have brought if I asked for it). Both were prepared fresh, even though they were not busy, and shows pride in their food. Just these two things with water and rice would have been a wonderful meal. This is incredible value, and worth 5 stars. Service was adequate...just need to keep asking the various servers for what you want. There was Indian music playing in the background (The Best Songs of Imraan Hashmi), and the space is very large with plenty of seating.With the word 'foodie' in the name, it's clear the owners are trying to attract a non-Indian crowd. With the observation that the Buffet is not mentioned in either their website or their menu and their table set-up is more for table service, it seems like it has been added recently to try to drum up more business. Hoping it works...this restaurant would be a nice long term addition to the Bartlett food scene.

Quick service, beautiful restaurant, and the food was hot and fresh on a cold rainy day. This is the type of Indian food that we love to eat, we will definitely be back!

Really sweet people in a very clean environment. Delicious food. Reasonable prices. Good location with parking out front. Very good tendery chicken with a beautiful marinade. Great naan.

Went to the weekend buffet today. I don't know the name of all the foods, but dinner was excellent. Tandoori chicken, curry chicken and lots more. The staff was prompt and friendly. Nice relaxing place to enjoy dinner. Loved the music. I prefer the buffet because I don't know the foods, but I can see what I like. We will be back.

Great food! Service and music were great! Love this place. Will continue to go back.l

I really want to give this place a higher rating based on my past experience, but I was very disappointed during a food delivery order. Ordered a few items, one was absolutely raw (peas) and very difficult to chew. And the other had a huge amount of salt. It was so salty that even adding more water did not fix the taste. Reported the problem couple times as well. Unfortunately all the food we ordered had to be thrown out.

They have a lunch buffet option during the weekends and the variety of curries and sides they offer are delicious and amazing. I love the different options that they offer every time I visit. It's always different with some amazing staple curries. The naan bread and tandoori chicken are made to order and are amazing and keeps me wanting more! And if you don't finish the chicken or naan you are able to take them home!The atmosphere and music they play gives an authentic feel, and makes me feel relaxed.The staff is friendly and very welcoming and will answer any questions if you need any. Their mango lassi is my favorite drink and helps cool the taste buds from some of the spicier options. Over all I highly recommend this place based off their buffet option during the weekend.Additionally you can request the naan without cilantro!
