Hands down the best Indian food we have had in Illinois, but perhaps in the world. Our favorites are so good here that it’s challenging to stray from them!! The Chicken Tikka appetizer is absolutely amazing, when you hear it sizzling your mouth will water!! Great food, good service, and the owner is often working with her staff. Keep it up guys! Rishi is our favorite server!

Chicken Tikka
It was cold inside, and a nearby tv was blasting music videos. Overall atmosphere was dreary and uninviting. The service, or lack thereof, was quite subpar. In contrast, the food was some of the best Indian cuisine I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t ever think of dining in again, but I would get delivery for the food itself, and that’s why it’s a 3* instead of 1*

Rishi served us well & noted our preferences for the spice levels in different dishes and brought the food how we expected it. The chicken might have been just a little bit dry on the platter but I wouldn’t call it bad(&that’s on the chef in kitchen). Rishi was friendly as he spoke to us and I would recommend their restaurant.

The food was fantastic. It has been a long time since we've had such good Indian food and we'll definitely be back. They were very accommodating for my wife who doesn't like spicy food. Rishi was awesome and very patient while we made up our minds because we wanted to try everything. Some of the best chicken korma I've ever had.

Very few restaurants that treats customers well and this tops the list. The lady at the reception was so kind, smiling and spreading good vibes. The way they treated all the customers during my visit was incredible ( i wish i could give more than a 5 star). Had weekend buffet, liked all the items very well cooked and tasted good. We ordered chai separately and its amazing.
One more great reason i must appreciate is the lady and other staff are having the same buffet that was offered to the customers (sign of a good kitchen). Thoroughly enjoyed everything here.

Long time customer but first time enjoying a dine in experience. Overall everything was great. Food was made fresh, service was attentive, place was clean, and we met the owner!
Owner was super nice and asked for feedback on the food and service. Great place to bring your family. Will try again.

Food is wonderful - the lamb korma has to be the best dish I've eaten in the longest time. Rishi, Raj, and Mussavier provided immaculate service - this is the most underrated spot in the Chicago area

Chicken Korma
This is a regular restaurant not a BBQ. They converted their business model but didn't bother to change the name. Doesn't have working heat. Just 2 space heaters. Quality of food is below average but at exorbitant prices. No difference in taste in Malai kofta n mughlai chicken gravy. Koftas were too hard

A Fiery Feast at Absolute Barbecue!
Upon a local friend's recommendation, we ventured to Absolute Barbecue, and boy, were we in for a treat! The restaurant immediately impressed us with its authenticity and quality, serving up a smorgasbord of Indian flavors that hit the mark every time.
The variety of dishes catered to all palates, satisfying both vegetarians and meat lovers in our party. Each dish was a testament to the authentic Indian taste, balancing a medley of spices and flavors perfectly.
But the charm of Absolute Barbecue wasn't just in its food. The service was remarkable, with a team that was not only friendly but also genuinely committed to providing a great experience. They consistently checked in on us, ensuring our dining experience was nothing short of outstanding.
In short, Absolute Barbecue is a shining gem with its authentic food and warm hospitality. It’s the kind of place that surprises and delights in equal measure - a definite must-visit for any food enthusiast.
This was some of the best Indian food I've ever had. We went with the butter chicken, which had a creamy sweet taste. Garlic Nan bread was very very tasty. The vegetable hot and sour soup had a fantastic spice to it. I forgot the name of the dish I got, it was a goat meat with rice. Meat was tender and had a cinnamon spice taste.
Service was amazing. He was able to explain the menu to us.
Check this place out for some of the best Indian food around Naperville.
