We visited this restaurant today in a group of 4. The menu has lot of variety and huge vegetarian options. We ordered Chicken 65, Onion Pakora, Gobhi Manchurian, Paneer Tikka masala and Mushroom Kadhai along with Naan. All of the items were extremely flavourful and starters were very crispy. The service was awesome too. The restaurant justified the high rating in Google maps through their service and food.

We had the best food at Dhanteraz! The food was absolutely amazing, and the service provided by Pravallika was excellent. She was so sweet, asked us how we preferred everything, and served us with so much care and love. It was a wonderful experience! 😊

INCREDIBLE food! I went here with my friends last week and the service, food, and vibe was great. The BYOB option was awesome - there's no additional fees involved, and the restaurant is very helpful to get you what you need. The service was also exceptional! The food was so so good, the flavors were so deep and rich, the ingredients were great, and we were very happy with the quantity for the price. We got chili paneer, chicken 65, lamb biryani, shrimp kadai, and the mango tres leches cake. Genuinely would recommend every dish we got! As someone who's been on the hunt for a go-to Indian restaurant in Chicago, I can't wait to go back.

Had one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had at Dhanteras Restaurant. After asking around for the most popular Indian restaurant in Chicago, this place kept coming up — and it absolutely lived up to the hype.
We tried the tikka masala pasta with shrimp and the dhanteraz lamb. The lamb was perfectly cooked, super tender, and the sauce was creamy rich and unique with perfect hint of chilli — tasted amazing with both the garlic naan and rice. The mango lassi was easily one of the most authentic ones I’ve ever had in Chicago, with fresh mango flavor hitting you instantly and a nice touch of crushed pistachios on top.
Service was warm, fast, and very attentive. Chef/owner Abu even stopped by to say hello, which made the experience feel extra special. His passion for the restaurant and the food he served clearly came through
Highly recommend to someone who’s looking to for a local gem that’s worth all the accolades — definitely coming back!

Delicious food in a small space. The dum style veggie biryani was one of the best I've had in the city! The gobi manchurian could have used a bit more sauce but I love how crispy it was. The mango lassi actually had good flavor and was not sour. They got very busy on the Sunday night that we attended, so the speed of service slowed down... But that is understandable. We didn't mind much. We will be coming back, definitely for the biryani! The staff were also genuinely friendly and accommodating, which seems like a rare thing at most desi restaurants these days. Prices were typical for the area, but portion sizes are good.

We went for dinner on a Sunday and had the gobi manchurian, vegetable dum biryani, malai kofta, and spicy garlic naan. While our appetizers came out quickly, they definitely slowed down with an uptick in delivery/carry-out orders. However, once the main entrees came, we were very glad to see good spice levels and a solid amount of flavor. Though there was a delay, the restaurant staff were always smiling and apologized for the delays, which I appreciated. Would definitely come back, especially to have some more of that spicy garlic naan!

One of the best Indian meals I've ever had. We got the Chili Gobi, chicken Chettinad, and Aloo Gobi...all AMAZING. Perfect level of spice in everything and the flavors were out of this world. There's so much love in every dish and you can taste it immediately. Highly recommend the samosas too ;)
I can't recommened this place enough. I recommend bringing a bottle of red wine because they have a no cork fee BYOB.
Don't think, eat this. Seriously.

Very good authentic Indian food! Can’t wait to come back again soon!
Best Indian food in the city! We ordered Chili mushroom, Dhanteraz Paneer and Veg biryani. Everything was so delicious. They even accommodated our egg allergy and did a tandoor top for biryani pot. The staff was really friendly and helpful.
