Mumbai Cafe — Restaurant in Schaumburg Township

For pistachio enthusiasts and falooda aficionados, this establishment is an absolute must-visit. Having relocated across various states, I can confidently attest that this spot serves up the most exquisite pistachio falooda I've ever encountered. The flavor profile is simply unmatched, leaving a lasting impression that keeps me coming back for more.

One of the standout aspects of this place is its prompt and efficient service. Ordering is a breeze, and your delectable treat arrives in no time, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable dining experience. While the variety of snacks and other food offerings may be somewhat average in comparison, the four-star rating I attribute to this establishment is solely due to the exceptional quality of its falooda.

Moreover, patrons have the opportunity to explore an array of fun pans, adding an extra element of excitement to the culinary adventure. For those with a penchant for unique dining experiences, these fun pans are definitely worth a try.

In terms of ambiance, the seating options cater to various preferences. Whether you prefer the rustic charm of an Indian dhaba or the comfort of traditional tables and chairs, there's a spot to suit every diner's mood and style.

I have been to this place many times, and 9 out of 10 visits are for their pistachio falooda. I genuinely believe it's the best pistachio falooda ever! Regarding the food, I have tried several vegetarian options and found them to be just okay—nothing bad, but nothing extraordinary either.

The different paan options are an amazing end to the meal. They come with quirky names and taste good, adding a fun twist to the dining experience. The restaurant offers plenty of seating options, making it a comfortable spot for both small and large groups. The service is usually quick, although there have been instances where the numbering of orders versus the sequence in which they are served seems a bit off. For example, during my last visit, an order number after ours received their pistachio falooda before us, even though we had ordered two. When we inquired at the counter, they simply said, "Oh, we're making yours!" It was quite strange.

Despite this inconsistency, the drinks and paan are highlights that keep me coming back. The pistachio falooda, in particular, is a must-try and consistently delivers on taste and quality. The paan options provide a refreshing and unique end to the meal, making the overall experience enjoyable.

In summary, while the food is average and the service can be inconsistent, the pistachio falooda and paan options make this place worth visiting. If you're a fan of these treats, you'll likely overlook the minor hiccups in service and enjoy what they have to offer. The comfortable seating and quick service (most of the time) make it a convenient choice for a casual outing with...

They make really good Paan, everything else is just okay. A lady I see there all the time ( I don't know if she owns the place) is really rude. The above review was given 7 months ago from June 2019)

Latest review as of June 2019 We went there for paan (the only thing we like about that place) and ordered 8 paan. We were waiting there for 15 mins and then realized the 7 customer who had ticket numbers higher than us have been served with their orders. There were two paan orders in bulk (just like us), who have been served before us. We thought we might have not heard calling our number (there were 6 of us, no one heard calling our number)so went there and asked. They told, your number is still pending. We saw customers who came after us have been left the place with their orders. Waited another 10 mins. And then went to that lady again who work their on weekend nights, maybe owner, don't know. She was extremely rude. She went out of the place to see someone in between making our paan and didn't even reply when we asked for the 2nd time. We placed our order at 10:03, we got our paan at 10:38. We think she gave our paan to those other customers who seemed to be their friends/relatives. She is always...

honestly i have been coming to this restaurant since like 3-4 years and I have honestly witnessed the quality degrade over time. At times, when they are busy, they literally just warm up the already warmed up food. I have gotten Bhaji paav tasting bitter because it was warmed up too many times. I have complained but just got another plate of already warmed up food. Still, I didn't complain much since they were busy. But today, it does it! I walked in (1:40 am) way before 2:00 am and the female owner said they are closed which honestly made sense because I thought she was tired. But then proceeded to slam the door with an attitude and locked it right in my face. Honestly, as an ex-retail worker, I understood she was tired but the extra attitude and rudeness was definitely not necessary. FYI: go to eggaholic across the street! They are super chill and not rude! They were honest about the availability of food considering the time but super nice! Great service and honestly much better quality than...
