50 Best Indian Restaurants in Chicago

“One of the best experiences of my life. The food, the atmosphere, the service from start to finish, were all impeccable. By the end of the meal, my palate and my appetite were fulfilled in the best ways possible. The customized service that they provide to each individual was just astounding. They remembered our names, where we were from, and even commented on some of the places we visited throughout the meal. How they remember such detail for every client is admirable! Thank you to the whole Indienne group for making this an experience we will never forget.“

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

“Good courteous service. Relatively fast for an upscale restaurant. We are vegetarians and whatever we tried was just about ok. Thatte idly by itself had a nice soft texture but the overall dish with the idly dipped in peanut chutney was not very impressive. Benne dosae was surprisingly good. The potato filling was flavorful. The coconut chutney served with the dosae was sour and a little bit of a let down. The Vangyache Bharit was the most disappointing. The dish was quite sour and we were left searching for flavor. Garlic and chilli naan were good.“

“Great Authentic food,superb!“

“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.“

Service is top notch, and it is a great place for a small group.“

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

“Food was delicious and our waiter (Jaden) was friendly and attentive. We had the samosas to start, the fish basant, chicken makhani (my personal fav), and the side of yellow dal. Desert of the cheesecake was great as well. Plenty of left overs between 2 people. Will definitely be back!“

“Best Nepali food in Chicago. You will get all varieties of food. Just lovely“

“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!“

“Delicious food, great service, and child-friendly!“

“The goat curry was pretty good, and the service was so good, tbh. They were really friendly and welcoming. The only thing is, the sauce for the veg chili momo tasted more Italian than Nepali, so just keep that in mind. Overall, I’d say this place is definitely worth a try and a go-to spot.“

“Great little hidden gem for Indian cuisine. live the Chai tea options. hazelnut espresso Chai was especially, delicious 😋“

“This place is great!
Little spot up on Jarvis Square. Nice and clean on the inside. Butter chicken is smackin. Good naan. Samosas are fye. I’m not an expert on Indian cuisine but this place hits my cravings better than some of the spots I’ve tried on Devon.“

“OMG -- familiar to Indian tastes & flavors, but with its own flair! Mustard Chicken pairs great with Naan or Paratha. Nicest owner too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“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!!!“

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

“Nice service & good & face food“

“Completely forgot about the review, as a Nepali I wanted my intl frens to taste Nepali food and I did a takeaway, I was scared about the authenticity but leap of faith you know.
Ohhh my god the mo:mo, chicken chowmein, and chuira with choyella 🤤🤤 sooooo goood soooo good. A lil feedback on mustang aalooo(you can improve this one 😉) but no complains at all 😭 the food was so good! Miss Nepali food so much 😭“

“The Best Food in Chicago,Best Dishes to try Beef Fry, Chicken 65 , Zeera Rice, Dal Tadka and My All time favorite Mutton Biryani. The best thing now is that it’s open 24 hrs and South Indian breakfast is must try. Very good Staff and friendly atmosphere.“

“Always delicious and very much comfort food.“

“Highly recommend! Good food that 3 generations of Desi immigrants approve of, from those born in colonial India, to post partition Pakistanis, to American-Born little ones. Suits all palates.

All food was good but saag paneer in particular was the bomb. So was nihari (authentic!). Elachi chai was great , too. Very clean, down to the bathroom. Kind service.“

“My wife and I went there for the date night special and it was fantastic. We aren’t really big Indian food fans, but we definitely liked what we tried and would definitely go back again.“

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

“Great food, quick service. Spicy means spicy“

“Finally found some decent Indian food nearby at Rangoli. Went for dinner and got the butter chicken with a side of garlic naan. The sauce was rich and slightly sweet, chicken was soft, and that naan was perfect for mopping up every last bit. Room was low key with soft lighting, not crowded at all. Waiter was helpful pointing out the milder options since I don’t always go for the heat. Felt like a proper comfort meal without any fuss.“

“I dined in very clean and soft music playing. I enjoyed my ice tea and chicken Tikka wrap. I will be going back on another Friday soon. I also ordered a to go bowl chicken Tikka with rice, cabbage mixed with onions and different sauces. 122 N Wells street, they have two more locations plese goggle and Go enjoy soon.“

“Stopped by with a friend for a quick Indian style chai and somehow ended up having a little chaat feast too!

The chai was a bit too Americanized for my Indian palate, but interestingly, my American friend absolutely loved it, 10/10 from him!

The chaats, though, were really good! We tried:
• Sev Puri — 8.5/10
• Samosa Chaat — 10/10, absolutely delicious

Completely forgot to take pictures of the food, but generous portions, good value for money, and a great little stop if you’re in the area.“

“Went to Nawaz Gulshan for dinner and it was so good I’m already planning my next trip. Got mutton biryani and a Hyderabadi shawarma roll plus a cream fruit salad to finish. Biryani rice was perfectly fluffy and the meat was tender with such deep rich flavors. The shawarma hit different not your usual style and so juicy. Staff was super friendly and the spot has such a nice warm vibe.“

“Tried Saffron Street Kitchen recently and it completely delivered. The food came out fast, super fresh, and actually packed full of flavor instead of feeling muted down.
Big shoutout to Tarika at the counter, she was super friendly, quick, and made picking up completely effortless. Will definitely be ordering again.“

“Food is delicious home feeling.. Prices are affordable.. Daal with plain rice is my personal favorite And chicken boti ��“

“Very tasty cuisine. Lots of options and extras to put into your bowl. Got my veggie bowl and made it spicy. They let me try one of the falafel ball/rolls (tube shape). Patrick from the back gave us both a while extra meal which was cheese and rice. Highly recommend!!“
