EggMania - Modern Indian Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Schaumburg Township

Egg Mania is located in the inside plaza on Salem and Golf. The place does not get too busy and service is good. When you walk in you will observe the funny egg related jokes posted on the wall. Their menu is projected on the TV behind the counter. You will need to order at the counter and then the food is served on your table. Each item is made to order which makes it easy to customize and control the spice level. If you have nut allergy then talk to them before ordering. Most of the food is made in peanut oil and Butter chicken has almond paste. Some items could be made separate but talk to them before ordering. They do not have water or drink fountain. If you want water then buy water bottles or ask them to give plastic glasses with a jug of water. The food is served in biodegradable paper plates, which is good for the environment.

We tried different food option. We got each item with mild spice but you can make it spicier. Below is what we got:

Paneer Masala Sandwich: it is a very flavorful marinated paneer with cucumber and sauces. If you want sandwiches then this is good to order. Boil Fry: pieces of boiled eggs mixed with several spices. Good to start, but if you are ordering egg dishes then get different non-egg appetizer. Desi Kheemo: shredded boiled egg mixed in Indian spices. This had a good spice flavor. *Paneer Lahori: Thin slices of Paneer in a thick gravy sauce. The sauce is delicious but could use more Paneer pieces. Butter Chicken: chicken was soft and well marinated. Chicken Keema Pav: minced chicken served with 2 buns. Very good if you are in the mood for Keema.

All food items were delicious. The food can get heavy due to thick gravy sauces. You can easily share dishes but each dish only come with 1 chapati, so recommend to order extra.

We will definitely go back here...

There have been many instances which has now led me to write a review. I have been here couple of times and each time I go here with a hope that I would have a nice experience but unfortunately, I’ve always been proven wrong. We are disappointed each time. This place is not worth the service.

Their staff doesn’t know how to treat customers. The person at the register doesn’t even know how to take orders. They always mess up the order and selects certain things themselves without even asking us and then charges us extra for add ons/items. This is not done. You should review and ask on what the customer wants.

Their wait time is horrible. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get one thing. They don’t even notify of timing that food will be late. After which you have to wait again for another item. We order different types of curries, chapatis, and rice. They give one type or curry but no chapati, then they’ll bring chapati after a while. After which you’ll have to wait again to get another curry but then again no chapati so got to wait again. This is just ridiculous.

In one instance, I had ordered a sandwich and other people from my group had ordered curry, chapati, and rice. After a long wait they got their food but I never got my sandwich. I asked them couple times and said it is coming. It is coming shouldn’t be the answer you should give a customer who has been waiting since an hour. I mean how long does it take to make a sandwich.

I’m not sure what they need to do to improve their service, but they definitely need to take an action to provide...

My first experience at this place was an absolute nightmare. I visited at 10 pm for a simple carryout order, but what I entered was more like a chaotic, drunk Indian bar than a friendly dining experience. It turned into a horrifying ordeal. I had to navigate through a rowdy mob of intoxicated individuals just to place an order for butter chicken. I had to practically wave my arms like I was at a nightclub or bar to grab the cashier's attention. People constantly bumped into me, clutching their beers, making it an incredibly distressing and chaotic experience.

To make matters even worse, I got physically injured during this ordeal. Someone elbowed me so hard that it left me in pain. It was as if the owner and employees didn't care at all about the safety and well-being of their customers. The management here seems utterly indifferent to the chaos and unfriendly atmosphere they allow to persist.

On top of everything, the carryout time was ridiculously long in this very uncomfortable environment. My food was ready on the counter and nobody called my name. I couldn't wait to leave and escape from this nightmarish place. This experience left me deeply shaken, and I would strongly advise anyone to stay far away from this establishment if you value your safety and sanity. Don't let yourself be subjected to this kind of treatment for a meal. There are plenty of other places where you can enjoy a peaceful and friendly dining experience without all the...
