Tiffin Indian Kitchen - Chicago

I highly recommend the Vegetarian Thali at this restaurant, which includes pan-fried wheat bread and 6 different vegetable sautés or medleys to enjoy with it. I also suggest trying the Mulligatawny Soup, which I believe is a chicken and lentil soup. The meal also comes with pickled turmeric and olives, as well as 3 deep-fried sweet onion balls. The vegetable sautés include cauliflower, peas, and carrots, a yogurt, cucumber, and chive blend similar to tzatziki, lentil soup, palak paneer (spinach with cubed cheese), channa masala (chickpeas in a red cream sauce), and sweet rice pudding. The Vegetarian Thali is priced at $22 and offers great flavors and spice. The meal was well-packaged without any spillage, although there were a few flaws such as one undercooked/soggy piece of bread, tzatziki sauce that didn't quite fit, and slightly runny rice pudding. Despite these minor issues, I would still give it a 5-star rating because the meal was enjoyable, with a variety of spices and flavors to satisfy my palate.

The restaurant not only had amazing service, but the atmosphere and food were delicious. Our server, a tall, older gentleman, made us feel welcome and ensured we had a great dining experience. The staff running the restaurant are dedicated to their jobs and the service could not have been better. As visitors from Cincinnati, we felt right at home and highly recommend locals and tourists to try out this restaurant for dinner and a great vibe. We will definitely be returning.

The weekend buffet at Tiffin on Saturdays and Sundays is a hidden gem. I enjoy meeting friends here for lunch. The service is excellent and the restaurant is beautifully decorated.

Along all the Mixed reviews, we decided to give a try. Visited on a Sunday Lunch, and They did not have the buffet. Only alacarte options. I read somewhere it's a South Indian Restaurant, but just because having south Indian dishes on the menu, does not make it a South Indian restaurant. The Mixed Tandoori Grill appetizer was good, all meat was well cooked and had good flavors. The Briyani was good, as per the north indian style. Quick service and friendly staff.

The food at this restaurant is decent, though not exceptionally gourmet, it is still tasty. The buffet is enjoyable, although it is not the top buffet I have experienced, it is satisfactory. My criticism is that the opening time is incorrect on Google and Yelp. When I arrived today at opening, despite driving 45 minutes to be there, they appeared unconcerned that there was no food available. I found this to be very off-putting. If they had shown more concern and made an effort to rectify the situation, they would have received four stars.
