An Unforgettable Evening at Tollywood Lounge!
From the moment we walked into Tollywood Lounge in Naperville, it was clear this wasn’t going to be just another dinner—it was going to be an experience. The space is vibrant and stylish, with a perfect blend of modern elegance and the warmth of Indian hospitality. Between the bar, the dance floor, and the inviting dining area, every corner feels alive with energy.
The bar is impressive, offering a wide selection of cocktails, mocktails, and Indian-inspired blends. The mixologist even crafted a signature drink for our table that was as visually stunning as it was delicious.
Dinner was the true highlight. Every dish we tried showcased the best of authentic Indian cuisine—from sizzling appetizers to rich curries and aromatic biryanis. The flavors were bold yet balanced, and each plate was beautifully presented. The staff was knowledgeable and eager to recommend pairings, which made the whole culinary journey even more enjoyable.
After dinner, the atmosphere transformed as the dance floor came alive. Music, laughter, and movement filled the room, creating a festive spirit that made the night unforgettable. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines fine dining with such a lively entertainment vibe, and Tollywood Lounge pulls it off seamlessly.

Read moreWe visited Tollywood Lounge for the second time on last friday, hoping to have another good experience like our first visit. During our first visit, we really enjoyed the appetizers — they were tasty, the biryani was average, and the music was very pleasant. There were six of us, and even though we were a large group, they didn’t add any gratuity, which we appreciated and we gave them 25$ tip. However, this time was completely different. The music was extremely loud and unpleasant, and even after we requested to lower the volume, the staff said they couldn’t do anything about it. The service was disappointing — servers didn’t clear the plates from our table, and when we tried to order desserts later, no one was even available on the dining side. staff were just sitting on the other side. To make things worse, they added a $30 gratuity to our bill without informing us, and there was no manager or owner available to discuss it. As for the food, the biryani had too much salt and spice, and the appetizers were just average this time. Overall, our second visit was very disappointing. Given the poor service, loud music, and decline in food quality, we won’t be...

Instead, it was coated in fresh, natural masala and cooked perfectly — flavorful, juicy, and mouth-watering for all of us.
For the main course, we ordered Malabar paratha with butter paneer, which was a big hit. Everyone liked it so much, we had to reorder more parathas! We also tried the chicken fried rice, and that turned out to be a pleasant surprise — it had that authentic street-style Indian flavor that instantly took us back home. The local taste really stood out, and the adults especially enjoyed it… we polished it off in no time!
If we had one small note, it would be that the food was a bit on the less salty side — though that suited my wife’s taste perfectly. And as they say: happy...
