Naatu Indian Restaurant and Bar

Go on a dosa night - Thursday . All u can eat dosas for $15.99. Adequately tasty and right sided.. so u can try all varieties.Beer needs to be chilled better.. my suggestion. They wouldn't give extra powder onside(Melagapudi). That is also an improvement I can suggest .Sambhar taste is so-so.. but acceptable. Chutneys compensate for Sambhar.Overall, good place to eat

The true essence of @naatu_schaumburgNAATU offer a variety of dishes that highlight the different culinary traditions within the region. Whether it's the fiery Chettinad spices, the rich and royal Hyderabadi flavours, or the subtle yet flavourful dishes of Kerala, we strive to bring you an authentic taste of South India in every bite. Cozy environment, smells the aroma. I had a great server & recommend most of these dishes to me. ENJOY! Some of the dishes we had:- Mutton Paya (soup) - Chili Chicken - Chicken Lollipop - Chill Garlic Mushroom - Zafroni Zinga (Tandoori Shrimp)- Chicken Chetinnad - Madras Masala Dosa- Ceylon Pratta - Mutton Haleem (Special)

Naatu is a nice quality, family-friendly Indian restaurant that serves tasty South Indian as well as North Indian dishes. On my recent visit, I had a good experience dining in as my party, and I received good service and tasty, flavorful food. The restaurant was semi-busy when we got there and afterward, it got even more busy. We did not have a reservation, so upon arrival, we were asked if we had one, and if not, there was a wait. We mentioned that we did not know that reservations were required. Luckily, due to the size of my group, we lucked out and scored a table pretty quickly. The service was prompt. The menu variety was good with lots of options from the different regional Indian cuisine varieties. I was in the mood for South Indian food. So, I ordered a dish called Guntur Chili Masala Dosa. It's a savory, fermented rice batter dosa (Indian style crepe) with seasoned potatoes filling. What stood out for me about this dish was that it was spicy dosa with a special chili paste inside it. That's why I ordered it. The others in my party also ordered South Indian dishes, and we also ordered a chili (saucy, not dry) sautéed paneer appetizer and saag (spinach) paneer with rice and garlic naan. Everybody in my group, including me, enjoyed the dishes we ordered. We liked the food for its quality and taste. The flavors and texture were delicious. The chutneys and sambar to go along with the dosas were quite tasty as well. The paneer dishes and garlic naan were to our liking as well. We all agreed that this restaurant is worth visiting again to try the other options they have on their menu. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. The ambiance was pleasant. It had nice decor and lighting. Despite being busy (which is good), the service was on point. Even the restaurant manager checked on us to see how we liked the restaurant and what we thought of the food. I have now found four suburban Indian restaurants (w/ Naatu being the fourth, new one) that serve good, tasty South Indian food. I definitely recommend checking out Naatu.

MEAL: DinnerORDER TYPE: Dine-in EST.: May 24th, 2023FIRST LOCATION: Only LocationSTATUS: MY ORDER EXPERIENCEMy buddy was in town and wanted to get good Indian food. When I googled it, this restaurant popped up. We were the first customers of the night and were given an option to sit wherever. This restaurant brings flavors from Hyderabad which is in South India.The menu had Soups, Appetizers, Parattas, Entrees, Biryanis, Indian Breads to name a few. Naming the sections based on Veg/Non-Veg helped us to find and decide the dishes faster. For some of the sections they had additional notes on what they were serving with the dish. As we were waiting for our order, for the first time I tried an Indian Beer called Taj Mahal Premium Lager Beer which was decent.We ordered the following dishes based on each section:INDIAN BREADSBoth the Naan's were served fresh and were soft to eat. The presentation was appealing.Rosemary Naan - RECOMMENDEDI have never heard about this naan and it made me curious to try this naan. The naan was topped with Rosemary leaves which gave it a unique taste. This was my favorite of both.Bullet NaanIt has been a long time since I have ordered Bullet Naan which tasted good.VEG CURRIES ENTRÉEChenna Masala I do not usually order Chenna Masala but as my buddy suggested we went with it. We asked for Spicy. The Chennas were steamed well, blended well with Indian spices, topped with cilantro. The dish tasted good.EGG ENTRÉEKadai Egg MasalaThis has been my favorite Entrée out of both. This dish had eggs where mixed well with all the Indian spices. The dish tasted great, but the only downside was it had too much oil in it. The oil was dripping when I was moving it into the to-go box. Reducing the oil will make this dish perfect.Both the Entrees were served with steamed rice but as we already ordered Biryani.BIRYANISVijayawada Paneer BiryaniThe biryani tasted delicious. It came with red onion on the top. The biryani was served with salan and raita. The biryani was served hot and had a good taste. I enjoyed the dish.All the dishes were served hot for around 15-20 mins. The presentation of the dishes made it look delicious and tasted good. The customer service was good. The prices were ideal just like another Indian restaurant. The ambience was casual. Besides Dine-in, they also had a mini bar but most of the drinks were served at the table. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for decent Indian food. I will go back again to try their Paneer Entrees along with the Naatu Breadbasket.Menu SuggestionsIt would have been good if they mentioned the indigents that were used in making the dish which would give an idea to the customers.Also, different spice levels.It would be good if the Restaurant Signage had bright lights as we had difficulty in finding them.

Great food, subpar service However, They offer a 10 percent discount for paying your tab in cash. Being a nice person i gave a server $10 and asked for change so i could leave an additional tip. I see her talk to my other server and they both looked at me, it was strange the interaction they had. The server comes back with my change. Then she tells me that I owe her $10 for the change. I told her I just gave it to her and she insisted that I didn't. I felt slighted by this. The food was good but please be aware of hostess / waitresses skimming off the top with the tips. I would recommend to pay with card. I ordered the chicken biryani and chicken vindalo with garlic naan. It was good.

This restaurant is underrated!!!!They have Great Catering Service!!!!! The food is so delicious!!! Including chicken, lamb, shrimp, fish and dessert!! Great for parties!! Thanks for giving me extra food! Me and my friends really enjoyed the meal!

First time after watching some food blogger obviously misguided video . The food was below mediocre. We ordered grill, biryani , wada ,pakora and chicken lollipops. Nothing was tasty. There were more bones than meat in Biryani , it tasted anything but biryani. The only thing that was good was pakora and chicken lollipops. The service is terrible. Very very slow. The ambiance is nothing great. Sorry total disaster. Not going back or recommend.

Great ambience... makes one hungry! Awesome dosas.. and unbeknownst to me I went there on a Thursday!! That day they had 'all you can eat Dosas'.... And about 10 different kinds of dosas! Boy! I have not eaten that many dosas at one go before ever. It was amazing. The taste, crispness and with sambhar, it was divine! The service was great too! I would recommend this place to everyone!

It was a great restaurant! The waitress helped me decide what food I should order and how it would fit my tight budget that I have. The music was loud and I had to make a quick phone call so I kindly asked the waitress to lower it for me and she did! Most importantly the food was amazing!The only thing I was sad about is that they don't have garlic Naan but that is understandable. The portion size was good. I left there with a full stomach. I would recommend to anyone that wants Indian food in the area.

We went there on a thirsday night. We had unlimited Dosa and one order of Vijaywada special chicken biryani. They copied the biryani name from Hyderabad House. Unfortunately the biryani taste was no where compared to anything like that. Dosas were soggy and the sambar was cold. Servers were non attentive and rude. It seemed they were not interested. Ambience was dull. No music or anything. Overall this place is a dump. There ate way better options in the area.
