The samosas were high quality and filled to perfection, the naan was the perfect compliment to the entree, and the butter chicken was so flavorful. You can also adjust spice level on other dishes. Definitely coming back again!“

“Amazing food and it tasted awesome .. Would love to visit again .. Staff were very helpful and ambiance was excellent .. 5 stars !!“

“Some of the most delicious indian food I have ever eaten. The paneer literally melts in your mouth- perfect texture and moisture. I ordered Paneer Tikka Masala, Palak Paneer, Garlic Naan and Plain Rice and honestly everything was incredible. 5 Stars for quality of food. Atmosphere is not that of an overly fancy restaurant, if thats what you're looking for. It was a quiet week day and service was good.“

“Every time we've visited Maharaj Indian Grill, whether dining in or carryout, the staff have been friendly and the food, well, very tasty! We'd recommend this restaurant to everybody.“

“The food here is top tier. I enjoyed the samosas, goat curry, lamb curry. I sampled several other delicious dishes. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meal.

The food doesn't come out fast but it comes out delicious. I recommend starting with some appetizers.

I posted several pictures of the food and the venue for your review.

They did not have Taj beer here. I tried the legend 10000 which i found to be very comparable in taste. They have a full bar and serve a variety of mixed drinks.

The staff is very polite and courteous.

The restaurant does need to work on their ambiance. I would not say they are a date destination at this time. They appear to be making some improvements so be sure to check back.“

“Mughal The Biryani House is a quiet little gem tucked away near the Nile, and it’s absolutely worth seeking out. The peaceful atmosphere makes it a great escape from the busier spots nearby, giving you space to actually enjoy your meal.

The food is the real highlight—flavorful, well‑spiced, and clearly made with care. Whether you’re craving biryani or other Mughal‑inspired dishes, the quality shines through.

A charming hidden spot with great food and a relaxing vibe. Definitely a place I’d return to.“

“I would go here again and again. Food quality is excellent. What can I say about NICK the manager. Outstanding manager. He listens to customer. Make sure we leave place very happy. If you complain about food, he will replace immediately without any questions asked. He makes sure that all the customers are very happy. We order a corn soup, my wife thought it was not spiced up enough. She asked waiter to spiced up. Manager came and told her that this is the way it comes and cannot spice up. He replaced her with another type of soup and did not even charge us for that. Great place to go for diner with family and friends.“

“Fresh wonderful dishes! It took a while for the order to be ready but worth it. Can't wait to try buffet.“

“Very good food, will come back many many times!!!“

“This is the absolute BEST Indian cuisine in the Midwest. They’ve been in business for 30 years, and you can taste it in the flavors of their recipes. My husband and I are regulars here…the consistency of quality and taste, along with great attention to detail and customer service keeps us going back often!“

“The Saturday buffet has many great options. Delicious!“

“Awesome food, the staff was very kind and considerate of dietary restrictions (allergies), and the service was great as well. Highly recommend the paneer tikka kebab, which was suggested to me by the staff!

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options at this restaurant, an entire section of the menu is devoted to vegetarian food. I personally had paper dosa and paneer tikka, both of which are vegetarian.

Dietary restrictions: I have nut and sesame allergies, and the staff was very considerate of these issues.“

“It’s nice place for quick bite. I had their mango bhai it was good. ( I would prefer more spice but my daughter loved it). My husband had the tandoori chicken burger and loved it. I took bite and I would get that next time. Over all good and would go back.“

“This place has changed my mind about Indian Cuisine, i have tried Indian food about 3 times ( 1 of those was in London, if you know you know) and did not at all like it. i gave this place a shot because my children love Indian food. so i took a chance ordered from this place and have absolutely turned a 180 on Indian Cuisine, this place is delicious“

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“I recently visited this restaurant and one of the best things I tried was their cheese chilli toasty. It was honestly my favorite item on the menu. The bread was perfectly toasted and crispy on the outside while the inside was filled with melted cheese and spicy green chillies. The combination of the creamy cheese and the slight heat from the chillies made it taste really flavorful.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and comfortable, and the service was friendly. Overall, I had a great experience, but the cheese chilli toasty was definitely the highlight for me. I would definitely recommend trying it if you visit this place.“

“Great home style andhra food! They make everything the way we ask for it, and it's always fresh and good. The people are wonderful and always make you feel at home. Plus, they have all my usual groceries so it's a one stop shop.“

“Everything on their menu is halal. Chicken tikka masala was very good, I would recommend making their Dow little bit thicker every time we were picking up the slice the pizza fell apart. Masala fries were very good taste like chaat. Korean BBQ taco were okay I would pass on it next time.“

“This has to be the best Indian Restaurant i’ve had. The service and food was exceptional, thanks to Ricky. Everyone there was so polite and welcoming.“

“variety of Indian breads, loved the Onion Kulcha! incredibly delicious taste and levels of spicyness are offered with every dish! no more spice overwhelm which can ruin the subtle tastes in Indian cuisine. courteous staff, gracious and available servers. Loved Aloo & cauliflower dish My partner enjoyed robust Dal dish which had veggie tidbits to round out flavor. we loved the food here. Best Indian fare in the area!“

“India Palace is the best restaurant in the world!!!! Our whole family loves it and we love going there!!!!!!!!!! You should go there for dinner and dessert!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Loved the kolkata biriani amd mutton kosha“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had an excellent experience at Tandoori Restaurant! The food was full of authentic Pakistani flavor — especially the biryani, tandoori chicken, and Irani chai. Everything tasted fresh and was perfectly cooked. The staff were polite, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.

The restaurant was clean, cozy, and welcoming — you can tell they really care about quality and customer satisfaction. The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes, and the presentation was great too.

Definitely one of the best spots in the area for real Pakistani cuisine. Highly recommend to anyone craving flavorful food and warm service!“

“The smells and flavors are like no other“

“I tried Vasco’s Peri Peri for lunch and was blown away by the Two Tenders Rice Bowl. Tons of flavor, generous portions, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. It’s hard to beat a fresh, hot meal like this for under $11. Perfect quick lunch option Monday through Friday!“

“I have been ordering food from here for many years and I have not had major issues. I like the gravy the most as Cuisine of India always has a unique taste as compared to other restaurants. The food is always well cooked, warm, and maintains consistent quality and taste.“

“My daughters have had whole grilled fish at many places before but this according to them is the best fish they have ever had, the second they got it fresh out of the oven they didn't even wait till we got home and ate almost half of it at the store itself, it was amazing. My daughter's highly recommended it to people who love seafood or just fish in general. Definitely a must try at Thrupthi Foods!!“

“THE BEST Indian food Experience in CHICAGO.“

“Everything about JK is good!“

“The staff is friendly and helpful. Answered all of our questions and helped us pick out two appitizers and an entree. So delicious! Every bite was a delight. Nice little beer selection too. Will definitely eat here again.“

“Wonderful atmosphere with beautiful holy music playing when I walked in. It immediately created a peaceful and welcoming vibe.

I ordered the Mughlai Chicken Korma with saffron rice and garlic naan. The flavor was incredible — delicious is honestly an understatement. The spices were perfectly balanced: rich, aromatic, and flavorful without being too hot. Everything tasted fresh and authentic.

The service was also excellent — friendly, attentive, and welcoming. This place feels like a real local treasure, and I will definitely be coming back again.“

“Fantastic food Great service. I had called the restaurant about handicap accomodations. He kept a table that made me sit comfortably. Vinod owns the restaurant. He treats everyone with kindness. Will go again. Mrs.B?“

“Hands down the best Indian/himalayan food I’ve tried anywhere! Been coming here for over a decade and have never been disappointed. My favorites are the chicken makhani (butter chicken), their tandoori chicken is baked to perfection, the naan is incredible, and the chili potatoes are so delicious. Their weekday big plate at $9.99 is a great value, however, their lunch buffet on saturdays and sundays starting at noon is the star of the show, and lets you try a variety of delicacies.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolute gem in Villa Park! Hyderabad House is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Every single dish we tried was incredible — the butter chicken was rich and flavorful, the naan was perfectly soft and warm, and the veggie samosas had the perfect crunch with a beautifully spiced filling. I’m still dreaming about the Dahi puri, which was an explosion of textures and flavors, and the chicken 65 roll might be the best I’ve ever had. The seasoning on everything was spot on — bold, aromatic, and just the right amount of heat. The service was attentive and thoughtful, and we felt genuinely cared for from the moment we walked in. A special shoutout to the owner Bella, who was such a delight to talk to — her passion for great food and hospitality really shines through. If you’re anywhere near Villa Park, run — don’t walk — to Hyderabad House. This place is a must-try for anyone who loves authentic Indian/Pakistani cuisine done right.“

“Always delicious! Favorite Indian cuisine in the area.“

“I had my son’s birthday party at Tandoori this weekend. It was the best choice to host my 45 guests at this restaurant. I ll tell you why.

1. I had decided to do the decor myself. The manager, Sahir was really, really kind to let me come a day before to put up all the decor stuff. He was very cooperative, and the staff present around was nice too. I was very conscious, given it was my son’s first bday, and my first time ever to do decor. But it turned out so good, and i must give credit to the manager who made it easier for me. I could never do it the same day the party was.
2. Our server, Rania, she did an amazing job. She helped with deciding the menu, she served everything in a perfect manner, time wise, arrangement wise. She was super easy to talk to. She helped with the cake as well. Rania, thank you.
3. Food… second to none. We had butter chicken, and mix platters. Everything was so so so delicious. Cooked to perfection. Our guests loved the food. From salad and hummus to bbq and gravy, everything was super yummy.

The restaurant made my son’s event memorable for life. I can’t thank them enough.“

“Great Experience!!!! Decent sized portions at a decent price and the staff was very respectful and friendly!!!! I will definitely put it on my agenda to go back even if I have to make special 2 hour trips from my house a couple times per year for that experience!!!! For many years in the early 1990’s I worked at Moti Mahal on Belmont for the Sikand family and while I have never found any Restaurants Chicken Makani as good as ours was when cooked by Chef Nano but Trilokah put a different spin on their version with a sauce probably not as sweet but while watching ones sugar that is good and this version had so much meat and I Loved That in an era currently where many restaurants try to cheat you on meat and add extra vegetables - I actually got a dish better than what I had hoped for! Just Awesome!!!!“

“Dining Experience On Thursday, September 4, 2025 :👇🏽 We truly enjoyed our visit to Chennai Central .If you're a fan of South Indian cuisine, this is definitely a place worth visiting! We tried Chennai Central's Thursday Chaat & Dosa Buffet Launch, and it was an exceptional experience! The event drew a huge crowd, but the efficient service ensured that everyone had a great time. The ambiance of the dining room was also noteworthy, with nicely designed partitions that provided a sense of privacy, making it comfortable for guests to enjoy their meals without feeling crowded. The food spread was truly impressive, with a wide variety of dishes that were fresh, authentic, and flavorful, all served piping hot. The highlight of our meal was the freshly steamed idlis, which were soft and fluffy. Our server, Sai, politely informed us about the batch, and it was a treat to enjoy them straight from the steamer. This attention to detail reminded me of my family's restaurant, where my dad would famously say, "Idlis are never sitting around waiting for customers; instead, our customers patiently wait for fresh idlis steamed to order!" It's a reminder to appreciate the value of slow, carefully prepared meals, resonating deeply with my father's motto at Chowpatti Vegetarian Restaurant - "what we cook at home for the four of us, is now being cooked for all of us in this dining room." Chennai Central's team clearly shares a similar commitment to quality. The medu vadas were superb, with my mom remarking that they were as good as, or possibly even better than, the ones she prepares at home. The Pav Bhaji was another standout dish, with a perfect balance of spices and a delightful Bombay punch - kudos to Chef Ramesh for his exceptional preparation! We also enjoyed the freshly grilled to-order home-style dosas, served with delicious sambhar and a variety of yummy chutneys. The kesari dessert was a perfect finish to our meal, with a smooth texture and just the right amount of sweetness. What made our experience even more special was the outstanding service provided by two friendly and accommodating servers, both named Sai. They were attentive, smiling, and ensured that everyone in the dining room had a great experience. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Dining Experience On August 20,2025 : 👇🏽 I had the pleasure of visiting Chennai Central on their very first opening day August 20,2025 and I was thoroughly impressed! The ambiance was clean and inviting, with comfortable furniture that set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive, adding to the overall warmth of the evening. The food was exceptional, with standout dishes like the Masala Dosa served with three delicious chutneys that burst with authentic, bold flavors. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the personal touch from Chef Divakar and Chef Ramesh, who made rounds through the dining area to ensure everyone was enjoying their meal. They even took the time to share tips on how to properly enjoy their famous layered Parottas with Korma gravy, the authentic way – by generously smothering the Korma onto the Parottas and letting the rich flavors soak in before digging in, a delightful touch! We discovered that this is a chef-owned and operated restaurant, and it's clear that their passion for authentic South Indian cuisine shines through in every dish they serve. The vegetarian biryani was particularly noteworthy – it was flavorful, comforting, and satisfying. Every bite was a testament to the freshness and care put into preparing each dish. I'm already planning my next visit – it was that good! If you're looking for authentic South Indian cuisine with a personal touch, Chennai Central is definitely worth a try.“

“Awesome Food great service!“

“Good food with great taste“

“Best Hyderabad Biryani..“

“I tried Vasco’s Peri Peri for lunch and was blown away by the Two Tenders Rice Bowl. Tons of flavor, generous portions, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. It’s hard to beat a fresh, hot meal like this for under $11. Perfect quick lunch option Monday through Friday!“

“shahi biryani-bolingbrook. no mirchi no namak , ordered today goat biryani family pack and kadai chicken. it looks there is difference in glendale heights and bolingbrook. biryani should be little more spicy but it was not.“

“If you enjoy authentic Indian food and don’t mind a bit of spice, this place is absolutely worth visiting. The whole pomfret fish fry is seasoned beautifully and cooked to perfection—easily one of the highlights. The goat keema is another must-try entrée, packed with flavor and paired perfectly with their soft, well-made naan.

They’ve also recently added street-style Chinese dishes, and those are surprisingly amazing as well. Overall, a fantastic spot for anyone craving bold, flavorful food!“

“Good ambiance! Good service! Great tasting quality food! Celebrated my birthday there night of December 15th, 14 of us ‘everyone had a Great time’! What stood out most was the warm hospitality and attention given to All. Definitely a night too remember! Thank you.“

“Personally, I have never dined here but always order their eggless cakes for all events! They offer delicious cakes and are best in town when it comes to eggless variant. They offer many flavors ranging from Black Forest (my favorite), Mango, Butter Scotch, Gulab Jamun, Chocolate, etc. Must try this place if you want a cake from here! They also take pre-bookings for larger ones!“

“Hey guys, Food from the Mumbai Cafe was so good. I always like to go there for dinner.“
