TEMPTINN - INDIAN FUSION CUISINE

Very interesting menu that is based on Indian food with a twist. Tons of options in both vegetarian, non-vegetarian and kid options. Good selection of bar menu including a big list of cocktails & moctails. Awesome location on Washington Street backing up to the parking garage.

This place offers a remarkable fusion dining experience that delightfully blends Indian flavors with international cuisine. During my visit, I was impressed by creative dishes like the soft Paneer Bao Buns, perfectly balanced Gobi Manchurian, flavorful Hara Bara Kebab, and the surprisingly successful Paneer Lasagna. The refreshing Aam Panna drink complemented the meal beautifully, while the innovative Pan Moose dessert showcased the restaurant's unique approach to fusion. Combined with attentive service, a comfortable yet sophisticated atmosphere, and consistently delicious food, TEMPTINN doesn’t compromise on authenticity or taste— would love to visit again!

Temptinn is a large, clean, beautiful space for parties of all sizes! The menu is large so everyone in your party can find something they enjoy whether it’s a traditional Indian food, or an Indian fusion item. They also have a decent cocktail and mocktail menu. I enjoyed the chicken biryani, but don’t be fooled by the photo I’ve shared - there were so many pieces of tender and juicy chicken tucked away under that fluffy rice. The flavors were on point! I also enjoyed the lamb bhuna gosht which was so delicious! It is obvious that they use good quality meat here. Of course I had to get garlic naan as well, and every bite of food was made 10x better with a drizzle of the yogurt they brought to the table as well. I also enjoyed a Fire Chili Spiced Margarita which was a delicious well-balanced cocktail. I believe it was the owner who came and talked to our table for a while making sure we were happy with our food and spice levels. He shared that it was his dream to open a place like this, and I believe he should be very proud of Temptinn! This is a place where everyone can feel comfortable enjoying great food in a great atmosphere.

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this Indian fusion restaurant is a must-visit. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between modern elegance and traditional warmth, making it ideal for any occasion. The menu is a delightful blend of authentic Indian flavors with creative twists that surprise and satisfy. Dishes like the spiced-up butter chicken and truffle naan are absolute standouts. The attentive service adds to the overall charm, ensuring a memorable meal. Every bite feels like a journey, and the vibrant atmosphere completes the experience beautifully.

We’ve been coming back to TemptInn time and again since they first opened, and it never disappoints! The Indian fusion menu is creative, flavorful, and always evolving—there’s something new to try every time. This visit, we had the Gobi Manchurian and the Bao Buns, and both were absolutely delicious. The gobi had the perfect balance of crunch and spice, while the bao buns were soft, packed with flavor, and beautifully presented. Always a great experience here—can’t wait to come back again!

After hearing positive reviews and receiving a recommendation from my barber, a Native American, my wife and I decided to dine at Temptinn Indian Fusion in downtown Naperville. Situated at 220 South Washington Street, the restaurant boasts a prime location in the heart of the city. The spacious interior is tastefully designed, accommodating a large number of guests comfortably. As an emerging establishment, Temptinn aims to redefine traditional Indian cuisine by introducing innovative fusion dishes. The manager warmly welcomed us and took the time to explain their unique culinary concept. We began our meal with the Paneer Kurkures and Crab Cakes. The Crab Cakes were exceptional, offering a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The Paneer Kurkures, while crispy, lacked some seasoning in the batter, leaving room for improvement. Initially, we hadn't planned on ordering drinks, but the intriguing beverage menu caught our attention. We opted for the Mint Mojito and Aam Panna. As a food reviewer with experience across North and South India, I must commend Temptinn on their outstanding drinks. The authenticity was remarkable, prompting us to order another round. My wife enjoyed the Aam Panna once more, while I tried the Mango Mint drink, which was equally impressive. Notably, the restaurant does not serve lassi, a common offering at Indian establishments, which I found to be a refreshing change. For the main course, we selected the Kofta, Goat Rogan Josh, rice, and Butter Naan. The Naan was thin and well-prepared, complementing the dishes perfectly. The Kofta stood out as particularly delicious, showcasing the kitchen's expertise. The Goat Rogan Josh, while flavorful, did not surpass versions I've enjoyed elsewhere. However, I recognize the potential in this dish and believe the restaurant is on a promising path. Temptinn's commitment to exploring new culinary horizons is evident, and their fusion approach offers a fresh perspective on Indian cuisine. With continued refinement, I anticipate this restaurant will become a standout destination in Naperville's dining scene.

Went to dinner last week and had the Butter Chicken Empanadas, the Tandoori Meat Platter, Chicken Clay Oven Tacos, and Cheese Naan. Everything was tasty and delicious. Butter sauce on the side was nice for dipping anything we ate. We found the pricing reasonable and the service was friendly and attentive.

A Taste of Goa in Naperville – TemptInn Indian Fusion After browsing TemptInn’s menu online, I was excited to see several Goan dishes—a rare find in Naperville. As a Goan myself, I had high hopes, and I wasn’t disappointed. We visited for a Valentine’s Day lunch and were warmly welcomed by Anthony, the owner, who has lived in both Goa and Bombay—just like me. He shared his vision of creating an Indian restaurant that stands apart from the many South Indian spots in town, and I think he’s succeeded. With so many tempting options, choosing was tough, but we settled on: -Gobi Manchurian (mild) -Goan Shrimp Biryani -Sizzling Chicken Cafreal (with rice and fries) -Sizzling Goan Recheado Masala Pompano The Gobi Manchurian was perfectly crispy and spiced just right—an absolute delight. The Goan Shrimp Biryani transported me straight back to Goa, with bold, authentic flavors and plenty of shrimp (they didn’t skimp!). The Chicken Cafreal was flavorful and true to its Goan roots; the spice level could be dialed down a bit, but the buttery, fragrant rice it came with was incredible. I’d happily trade the fries for more of that rice! The Sizzling Recheado Masala Pompano had that unmistakable, tangy recheado masala flavor I know and love. However, I found the fish too bony—I’m more accustomed to recheado-stuffed pomfrets or mackerels. That said, it was still a treat to experience these flavors outside of India. Overall, TemptInn delivers on its promise of unique, well-executed Indian fusion. I’d definitely order the biryani, gobi manchurian and cafreal again—and I can’t wait to try more from their menu!
