28 Best Indian Restaurants in Chicago

“Fantastic food and service! Have been a few times, and it never disappoints!“

“Michelin Star Indian inspired vegan or vegetarian (or meat) tasting menu, in Chicago! If you don't know what a tasting menu is, it is where you have a bunch of small courses and spend a long time. It is not cheap, or fast. Typically you'll see interesting ingredients and some cutting edge techniques. I would have appreciated more of an explanation about the courses, both about ingredients and techniques from the servers, I think it heightens the meal and this isn't eating out as part of an evening, this is dinner as THE EVENT. Some tasting menus I've had were like 12-14 courses, this one was about half that, although I haven't done very many tasting menus. For us it is for a very special occasion, but expect to spend a couple of hours and at least a couple hundred dollars (before tip) per person. We went with the vegetarian menu with the wine pairing (not the fancy wine pairing) and went for the two plus ups. I haven't experienced a tasting menu with plus ups (aka an extra course for an additional price) but I'm no expert. Consistent with other tasting menus, some things were mind blowingly awesome and I wanted more and some things... well... no regrets. The two plus ups were probably the standouts, so I'm glad we did them but that did add $ to the meal. I don't know if we set the pace wrong, but we were often still finishing the wine from one course when the next course would arrive, which led to us drinking faster than normal, and feeling it. I don't know if this is because we had an early seating and they wanted to make sure our table was free, or maybe it was on us. So my advice is to not let yourself feel rushed. Would I do it again, yes. Soon, no. Pretty sure the bill was over $600 for two people. For my budget this is like a once every other year kind of meal. Overall not a revelation, but a very good meal and great experience.“

“Delicious Mother's Day brunch! The food was amazing 🤩 The chai tea was a little spicy for me but my husband loved it. I preferred the savory foods over the sweets but all were great. The service was fantastic as well. The staff was so kind and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Tasty food, my son likes it so we go again and again there.“

“It's amazing to see a chai place right across the street from the millennium Park Bean. I never would have thought in a million years. That Ginger cardamom tea really hit the spot on a freezing cold day. I make my own at home And this definitely passed the test. It was nice and packed a punch.“

“Phenomenal! My tastebuds exploded with pure joy from the well balanced spices! Spices we’ve never had amazed my family! 1000% recommended! Kelly was an outstanding Server!!“

“i did not like the chicken sandwich. I were there with my family . It is very expensive and special pizza was not the tasty .“

“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“

“The service was prompt and the meal was excellent. We got the Chicken Korma and tried Goat for the first time. Extremely flavorful!“

“The pav bhaji was bursting with flavor — buttery, spicy, and perfectly mashed to a creamy consistency. The soft, toasted pav soaked up the rich, tangy bhaji beautifully, creating a comforting bite every time. Topped with fresh onions, coriander, and a squeeze of lemon, it was pure street-food bliss.“

“We had an absolutely delicious dinner enjoyed by our whole family. Chicken curry. Vindalo shrimp. Naan. Veggie samosas. I would love to eat here again.“

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

“Really excellent Indian food. We usually get the same order which we HIGHLY recommend:
1. Chicken Korma
2. Garlic Naan
3. Gobi Manchurian

Butter Chicken is pretty good too, as well as their Tikka Masala“

“The food is amazing: tasty and healthy. I love it. Thank you for also baking the Masala biscuit for our dinner.“

“affron Street is a gem if you're craving bold Indian flavors with a modern twist. I stopped by for dinner and got the Butter Chicken Bowl with garlic naan—super rich, creamy, and packed with spice. Also tried the Samosa Chaat, and it was the perfect mix of crispy, tangy, and savory. Spent around $25, and it was worth every penny. The spot has a cool, casual vibe, and the service was fast and friendly. If you're in the West Loop and want something flavorful and filling, this place is a must!“

“The most amazing food and service“

“This was one of my favorite dinner spots on my recent visit to Chicago - absolutely delicious food, a great ambiance & highly attentive service. Be sure to order the chili cheese kulcha & the Pink City cocktail!“

“They have the most amazing staff. I am completely addicted to their delicious food!! I am already craving my next order! You just can’t go wrong with anything on their menu, but my favorite is the Tiki marsala and garlic nan-bread. GLORIOUS’ !!! We got carry out!!!“

“Amazing service, food, and experience. Can't wait to share this with my boys next time.“

“Just had a lunch at Arya Bhavan and it was chef’s kiss perfect. Went with the chole bhature combo—big, fluffy bhature and spicy, hearty chole. Also had a masala chai to wash it down. Everything was vegan, gluten-free, and packed with flavor. The vibe is low-key, the staff is super friendly, and the food is fresh and satisfying. If you’re craving real-deal Indian without the dairy, this spot’s a must-try.“

“Stopped by Monarch & Lion for dinner after work and wow—this place hits. Got the butter chicken, garlic naan, and a side of masala fries. Everything was fire, super flavorful without being too heavy. Service was chill but on point, and the space has that cozy pub vibe but still feels elevated. Perfect spot for a lowkey night out or grabbing bites before a show. Definitely coming back to try the lamb next time.“

“The food is fresh and has good flavor, with plenty of options to customize your meal. The place is casual and convenient, though the atmosphere is pretty basic. Service is quick most of the time, but it can get a little hectic during lunch hours. Overall, a decent spot for a fast Indian meal.“

“Run don’t walk! Mirra is absolutely the definition of an explosion of flavors! The crispy taco may have been the single greatest bite I have ever tried! The roasted beets were outstanding as well. We finished with the Taco Arabe. Such a wonderful warm way to finish our dinner. And then for dessert just get the tres leche olive oil cake and thank me later. Chef Rishi has out done himself.“

“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.“

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

“Food was wonderful. A great addition to the neighborhood and highly recommended. Get in here“

“Absolutely incredible restaurant. Every dish is highly flavorful. I got the butter chicken and lamb vindaloo. They both were well spiced and fresh. Great service as well. My favorite Indian restaurant.“
