50 Best Indian Restaurants in Chicago

“I went to Indienne with friends to celebrate 50th birthdays. The experience did not disappoint. Indienne delivered an exceptional dining experience with its tasting menu. The food was truly phenomenal—beautifully presented, thoughtful, and layered with bold yet refined flavors that felt both creative and rooted in tradition. Each course was memorable with different takes on recognizable dishes. While the drinks were just okay and didn’t quite rise to the same level as the food, they also didn’t detract from the overall experience. The tasting menu alone makes Indienne well worth the visit, especially for anyone who appreciates inventive, high-quality cuisine.“

“Very good. Our service was excellent we had Maidi as a waitress excellent and the bus boys were efficient and helpful Eating there is an enjoyable time.“

“Always tasty and always friendly. We love India House!“

“goodNESS this is a phenomenal meal. you are bombarded with delicious scents the minute you walk in, and it’s such a cozy intimate space, beautifully decorated. we had the samosas (excellent), chicken 65 (incredible), kofta makhani (divine), and the dhanteraz lamb biriyani (may have changed my life). even the garlic & onion naans were wonderful. drink-wise, i think every table had mango lassis, and this is correct. we also shared a cup of the saffron coffee, which was the creamiest & best coffee i can imagine. i’d be remiss not to mention the beautiful service we got from victoria—she was amazing and really put a lovely bow on our gorgeous meal. can’t wait to return!

Parking: roscoe parking is what it is. we found one a couple blocks away and considered ourselves supremely lucky.“

“Being an old Irishman, I wasn’t sure Indian food was an option for a family dinner. Adda Restaurant in Little Italy proved me wrong. They were kind and most helpful in choosing entrees. My family was excited and blown away with the flavors, the options, the spices and the quality of the chefs entrees. Thank you for your help and we will be sure to become regulars.“

“I found Bhoomi on Dwell Social App and they deliver to Drop points. Do I was never in the restaurant. It is definitely modern and I usually eat more traditional restaurants or home cooking from the kitchen of my Indian friends. This was absolute amazing.I had the phulka rotis(with steak and chicken) , the bhoomi chicken tikka Marsala and the chicken pasty. It was absolutely amazing The food was perfect. They packaged it perfectly with reheating instructions For the philharmonic rotis they included all the topping and sauces so you can spice it up or down. Fabulous. I only wish I had taken a photo before devouring it. I would given them 5 stars“

“I went for the lunch special with my boyfriend, and it was very worth it. 2 entrees, naan, rice, and a choice of pakora or dessert for under $20! It does not get better than that! We recommend the goat curry special! We can't wait to come back :)“

“Rangoli has the best lamb vindaloo I’ve had in the city! My wife and I tried this for the first time and were really impressed. She had the chicken tikka masala and loved it.

The service was excellent and the prices were fair. Portions are quite large.

We will definitely be back.“

“This is a one of a kind "fast food" restaurant. I like to think of it as the Chipotle of Indian food. I had the chicken tikka wrap. They have standard Indian curry dishes, both meat and vegetarian curries, and they wrap them up in a pita-like bread. It's like an Indian burrito. Everything is a la carte, but if you get the house made chips (I think they're plantain chips, but I'm not sure), they give you this awesome sweet and spicy ketchup dipping sauce. If you love Indian food but don't have the time or money for a full service Indian restaurant, definitely try this place out!“

“The food was terrific! The owners are so friendly!“

“The butter chicken was really good and the o my reason I’m giving a 4/5 is because I just think they use too much oil. Everything else was delicious from the garlic nann to the veggie samosas and the perfectly cooked rice. This place is definitely a treat.“

“Blown away by their biriyani, the flavors were rich and vibrant and the spice level was perfect, they provided a large supply of raita to cut the spice and it was sweet and creamy to perfectly compliment the spice.

The restaurant itself is clean, modern and family run. Members of the family take turns waiting tables taking orders and handling the take away orders. The laughter of young children adds a nice ambience to the place.

The food itself brings me back to my time living in India and the flavors and spice could transport you there even on the coldest of Chicago days.

Will be back soon. :)“

“The food is incredible! The staff are friendly, kind.“

“Very Authentic Hyderabadi food. Much better than any other Hyderabadi restaurants at Devon. Plenty of parking. I was there for the first time. Traveled 35 miles to eat at Nawaz Gulshan and they didn't disappoint.
Management is very humble and down to the earth. Nawaz Gulshan is Top 1 recommended at Devon for who ever would like to eat Authentic Hyderabadi dishes. My kids and family enjoyed the food.“

“Visited Rangoli Indian Cuisine at their North Avenue location for dinner. The staff was very friendly and made the whole experience feel welcoming.

We ordered a variety of dishes, and a few things really stood out especially the Gobi Manchurian, tadka daal, and the desserts. The gulab jamun and mango kulfi were both a great way to end the meal.

They offer a nice range of vegetarian options, and with two locations in Chicago, it’s a convenient spot to check out if you’re into Indian cuisine.“

“That food was excellent I will be going back“

“The flavors and structure of the dishes were so unique and delicious. Such a fun “special” date night spot. We probably over ordered so make sure to ask your server how much to get! We sat at the bar and watched the chef and cooks work - they are so talented. Music was loud but I liked it, made for a very fun and inviting atmosphere.“

“The restaurant is cozy and the staff is so kind and friendly. Generous portions of food, excellent and delicious. I'll be back!“
