“Omg! Sooo good! The food is seriously amazing and fast! The naan bread is salty and I loved that. Love the free sauce options that they give you. The samosas were cooked perfectly and were my favorite park. Highly recommend!”
“As a fan of Indian food, I highly recommend Naansense! The decor inside will transport you to India, the staff are so welcoming and helpful…and the food is absolutely delicious!!”
“Great spot in the Loop for quick Indian food! Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. You can select from an assortment of mains served in either a bowl with rice, as a salad, or in a naan as a wrap. Lots of fun toppings like beets, pickled radishes, toasted chickpeas, chopped figs, pickled onions, and many other items. I had a mixed vegetable and Chana masala bowl over white rice and opted for the mint chutney. Next time I’ll make sure to ask for hot sauce but it was tasty and very filling. Great for vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters.”
“NaanSense offers a delightful Indian Chipotle-style experience where the food is just delicious. The ambience creates a welcoming atmosphere, adding to the overall dining pleasure. With quick service and reasonable prices, it's a top choice for a satisfying meal. Highly recommend trying it out!”
“Quick Indian fast food for Indians but also enjoyable for different culture to try Indian fast food.”
“Food is always on point. Staff are friendly and very fast. Even with a line out the door you’ll get your meal quick. Highly highly recommended.”
“Food was delicious. It’s like an indian style chipotle. Service was okay could be more welcoming. Tables needed to be cleaned but overall nice place to drop in for a quick tasty hearty lunch”
“I got this delivered to my hotel. Flavor was lacking and the bowl was not a very imaginative one. The tikka sauce was watery and not very flavorful either. Masala fries on the other hand were great. Definetly heavily seasoned which I appreciated, but made the bowl feel that much harder to eat.”
“I loved the ambience of this restaurant, It’s pretty much like indian chipotle and I really loved their tikka bowl , It wasn’t bland but the tikka sauce needs improvement and their masala fries were too sour , Overall it’s good it’s a good place to grab lunch once in a while .”
“After an hour of almost waiting for our food, we were very excited to try the new hyped up Naansense that opened in Naperville. And to be honest, it was very disappointing. I feel like it's not catered with Indian taste buds in mind. It was very watered down, lacked of spice and flavor, and was made very safe. Example, the channa masala literally tasted like boiled chickpeas, with a dash of spice and tomatoes. Honestly, the best parts on this entire thali was the naan and the paneer kebabs. They definitely get points for the beautiful aesthetic in the restaurant, and I do appreciate how they hyped up Indian cuisine for those who may be afraid to try it. But if you're looking for authentic Indian food of any region or type, I would not choose Naansense.”
“Sold us uncooked naan! The dough is clearly wet and uncooked. The server was super impatient and rude.”
“The place is nice but did not like the chicken masala the worse I tried so far, lack on flavor consistency color . The worse is the naan is not even close the real tandoori oven naan instead they use a rotary oven 1 star for food 1 star for service almost not human contact weird self checkout .”
