At D'licious fusion tapas lounge we specialize in small plates,, steaks and seafood, best known throughout the Chicago area for our sweet and savory crêpes on weekend brunch.. It all began when our owner, Rakesh, started selling crêpes out of his shop on the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana campus. His crêpes quickly became popular among the students, and many Indian students inquired about the possibility of Rakesh making Indian food. Having only a crepe machine, Rakesh created a batter recipe for rōti, an Indian flatbread, that he can make in the same machine. The rest, as they say, is history. Today, Bartlett locals visit Rakesh to enjoy authentic dishes, imported coffees and teas, gelato, and more, all in our unique Indo-French café setting. We look forward to meeting you and treating you to a sweet (or savory) delight soon.

Stopped by while in the area. We couldn't find it initially due to the very small restaurant sign, but glad we did!
The shop is very cute and has a warm atmosphere. They had lots of Indian fusion food, along with breakfast favorites and of course, delicious crepes!
I ordered the Viva la crepe. The crepe was huge! About 12 inches! And came with a yummy side salad. The crepe was full of flavor and definitely worth the $12. Would definitely like to go back to try their other crepes!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you for giving us a chance, Ayano, while you were in town. Yes, unfortunately the sign is small due to City regulations. Hope fully you will back when ever you're visiting Bartlett again. We are always updating our menu offerings, so, please visit our website at www.dliciouscrepesandroti.com

EDIT: on a $40 bill post tax we left a $10 tip (hoping it would go to all the waiter). We understood places are struggling right now and the young gentlemen who was waiting the tables was kind, respectful and overall pleasant. The comment you left on my review was borderline rude and racist. I am here just to leave a unbiased option on my time at your institution.
Walked into this restaurant and was able to find a seat easily. We were told to sit wherever we wanted. I noticed that no one checked temperatures and there was no hand sanitizer in sight.
The chef came up to our table and asked if we have been at the restaurant before. Saying we have not, he explained the menu and the Indian/French fusion style. Super nice of him to do this! The only thing I would say if that when he walked over to the table, he did not wear a mask which we were surprised about.
We did end up not liking one of the dishes (paneer fajitas) due to an issue with the undercooked rice and cold sides. They were very accommodating, but did not seem happy when we stated our concerns.
The ambiance inside is super cute for dinners or dates. With dark wood decor and candles on each table, the restaurant is a spot that can be used for more special dinners. They also had an extensive bar and cafe menu. Also shoutout to the younger waiter they had! Super nice and respectful!!
Plates ordered
Masala fries: I'm not sure how they got the fries to thin and crispy but best fries I've had in a while. They were dusted with indian masala and with a side of an indian sauce.
Potato Khati roll: this roll was massive compared to others I have had. We were able to cut it into fours so everyone in our party was able to have a taste. The potato filling was a perfect amount to the crepe roti and had great taste. I wish it came with some sauce inside or on sauce, but would order again.
Paneer Quesadilla: I liked the paneer idea for quesadillas but the paneer was way too big. I wish it was either mashed or cut into smaller bits because some bites all you got was the paneer. The paneer also could have been seasoned/marinated a little more because it was lacking in flavor.
Paneer Fajitas: We did not even get to try the paneer; it looked very similar to the paneer in the quesadillas. My mom tired the sides (rice and chole) and did not think either of them was well cooked. The rice felt uncooked or the crispy or brunt parts at the end of the pot. This is the dish we asked to be taken back.
Tutti Frutti Crepe: YUMMY. Can't go wrong with bananas, strawberries, Nutella and chocolate!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

We are not struggling at all. Rather our sales have trippled. We are struggling with never happy customers. Just for that we will be changing our whole concept of all meat and no Indian dishes at all to avoid any experiences like this in future.
Thank you for your detailed feedback on our food and ambience. The hand sanitizer is provided at the front entrance, you probably missed it it. Talking about mask, if you want to be so critical about it then all four of you were supposed to wear mask when anyone approaches your table, which was not done. You asked for a special spicy sauce and we made it from scratch for you. There are tons of vegetarian options on our menu, yet you all chose paneer dishes, of course they will all taste the same. Rice was a bit crispy for you so we gave the Fajitas free for you as you were not pleased about it.yet you still give us 3 stars and barely tip our wait staff. I did tell you from the very beginning not to order so much food that's the reason your paneer fajitas were untouched. I came to your table twice to ask if all was ok and all four of you said yes, but later found fault in rice being crispy. I'm from India as well but, whenever we serve customers from our country they are never happy. They always find faults in everything and anything. They never give 5 stars, yet first ones to write a review of 3 stars or less. They never tip more than 10 percent yet drive expensive cars and how well off they are. Its sad. Most of the time our own community does not even understand and accept our Indo French fusion concept. They expect a typical Indian restaurant taste. Its sad. Thank you for the stars anyway. - Jun 1, 2019
Looking for a delicious meal (breakfast, lunch or brunch) that has great outdoor seating, uses the freshest ingredients to make your meal from scratch, has the best coffee AND great service??
Well, look no further.
D'licious Crepes has just that - delicious crepes!
My husband and I indulged a bit on our most recent visit. We shared the strawberry mascarpone crepes, he had the avocado toast with smoked salmon, and I delighted in the chorizo/egg/avocado/spinach crepe. Wowie!! Washed it all down with some yummy coffees too - I had my usual americano and he opted for a caramel macchiato.
In my husbands' words, "Why is there not a line down the street for this place?!"Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

Thanks for the great review and support, Alexa. Yes, we wish the line was "down the steeet" as well. Im glad the Coffees and Chorizo Avocado crepe hit the spot. Try the London Broil or Philly Cheese steak on your next visit.

We visited here on Friday 10am in August. We took outside seating, in a very quiet corner of Bartlett IL downtown. It was still pretty empty. And parking was very easy, just behind the restaurant, there is a lot of shade.
Music: Piano Jazz helps of "cafe in a city" atmosphere. I feel their effort to build that image.
Our order:
Masala Chai Latte (4stars)
Paneer Tikka Salad (5stars)
Viva la crepe (4stars)
Burrito with Paneer Makhani (5stars)
Total experience: 5stars
Masala Chai Latte got a big cup and a good strong flavor. But it does clean up your mouth after each dish, it worked really well between French and Indian dishes.
Paneer Tikka Salad was exactly what I wanted from this place, fusion of French and Indian. Grilled paneer got a little crisp on surface. And salad had a perfect mixture of curry spices and salad dressing. Somehow it was very light but strong punch, while still keeping a cafe food character.
Viva la crepe was yummy. I loved it as it was, but one thing I would say was it does not get Indian side of flavor. I expected a "fusion" dish, so I was a little bit disappointed. But that was my fault, other than that I would order it again! It also comes with salad, which came with a completely different dressing from Paneer Tikka Salads's Indian flavor. This one got fruity French dressing. That made me wanna come back and try different items.
Burrito was weird mix of Mexican and Indian. It was impressive and interesting. They even offered dip sauce of sour cream with spicy sauce, which pretty much reminds me of a Mexican restaurant. But it got a strong Indian flavor. It confused my brain because I never had something like that before, and never could imagine Mexican and Indian fusion but I enjoyed it a lot!
As a whole, I think this place was one of the best restaurants we tried in 2019. Indian and French, or Indian and Mexican. If you wanna try an interesting flavor like that, I recommend here 100%.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

A Yelper's delight!
Walking in to the place, my first reaction was, "this place smells wonderful"!
I stopped in for lunch and ordered a savory crepe with turkey, fresh tomato, spinach, balsamic, cheese and it came with a small side of greens with a tangy and sweet dressing.
As the sign read, the crepe was delicious! The service was polite and eager to answer any questions I had from the menu.
I will definitely be returning to explore the "sweeter" side of the menu.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Went here today for the first time. I love nearby and had never been here. Super cute place! I love the way the staff and the gentleman (may be owner, or manager) carry themselves They are dressed well and add a nice level of class to their atmosphere.
Food: very good. Shared a few plates.
Butter chicken burrito: it was good. A little bland in the butter chicken flavor, but really nice idea. I would try something else next time.
Masala fries: also good. Love the thin, crisp fries. I'll try truffle next time! I liked these fries with the samosa sauce more than the one it came with.
Coffee: lovely!
Frutti tutti crepe: absolutely divine. Added a nice sweet taste after the food.
Loved the sauces, the yogurt, and the chutney
Overall, great experience. Can't wait to go back in the evening and again during the day. This may become my go to local spot!
Update: went today and just love it here. I am making this my go to spot for good food, drinks, relaxation and lovely people. So grateful to love close to here and the owners are so nice.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Only criticism is after the food did come out, it would be nice to have been checked on to see if we needed anything else or how everything was. Also, filling water up without being asked when the glasses were empty.
But just a great place. A few tweaks here and there, but I've already recommended this place to groups of my friends just while sitting there! - Pujan J.Chicago, IL3014043Jan 5, 2020
This place is AWESOME. While it's a bit tucked away in a strip mall, I can confidently say it's a bit of a hidden gem. The concept of a Indo-French restaurant that doubles as a bar at night is a lot to process, but this restaurant does a great job of executing on all that it promises.
I had brunch here with my mom. She got the Crepes and I got the Kathi Roll so that we could try both spectrums and we were blown away by the mix of flavors! Every piece of the dishes complimented one another SO well and the chef really has a great grasp on how to create a unique dining experience. To add, the drinks are to die for -- they have a mix of Coffees and Teas that, again, explore the Indo-French spectrum. My mom got the Masala Chai and it was by far the best Chai I have ever tasted from a restaurant.
To add to all this, the staff was SO nice and did a great job creating a seamless experience. The owner of this restaurant definitely knows what he/she is doing and I will DEFINITELY be back!!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 221871111Oct 29, 2017
I came here with my 16 y/o son on a Friday morning (after parent teacher conferences) and had a lovely time and meal. The owner was our waiter and he was very polite and explained that everything he orders from Paris. We tried the hot chocolate which was served in the style served in Paris along with a packaged cookie. The cookie was very tasty and the hot chocolate was also delicious.
We both ordered breakfast Crepes. My son couldn't finish the Protein Power Crepe so we took it home and it was still delicious reheated the next day.
It was a cozy atmosphere with grand portions.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

This place had a lot of positive reviews? The service was friendly, the place was clean and the menu had plenty of options. I am a big Indian foodie and I found the concept fun but, eh execution poor. The bread was soft and fresh, the meat quality seemed ok but the flavors lacking. I found myself pouring more tiki masala sauce into my burrito. I'm hopping it was an off day because the food just tasted off.
*chicken tiki masala wrap, was ok. Not what I would order again. Soggy and lacking flavor.
*shrimp scampi wrap was ok, just as soggy.
*samosa was tasty, we were pleased with it. It's pretty hard to ruin something deep fried!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
