Very bad experience, food quality was junk didn’t even match with post MENU photos, this location mush be inspected by DOH immediately, I found a hair 2 inches long and seeds of unknown fruits 10MM LONG inside my LAMB BIRYANI plate .they put 3 Bonny pieces inside plate under spicy rices NO meat on it. It’s a big shame for you cheating customers this way ☝️Shameful.

Such a great experience all around- for take out. The woman who took our counter top order was so patient and informative with me. She walked me through different dishes and their level of spice- she discussed dishes I was familiar with and encouraged me to me to try something new. The food was ready in 20 minutes, travelled well, and made the entire family happy. Very fresh home cooking style and economical as well. Best Indian food in the Northern corner of Lake County. Just over 41 on Washington in Gurnee

Very poor taste of food. I ordered a papri chaat and a biryani. Both were far from being good. Owner's Behavior was far from being professional. Very unfortunate exp.

One-line Review: Flavorful Feast with a Cozy Vibe!
Taste: 4.5/5 Quantity: 4.5/5 Quality: 4.5/5 Value for Hygiene: 4.5/5 Environment: 4.5/5
➡️ First Impression: I visited Desi Dhaaba at 3900 Washington St Ste J, Gurnee, IL 60031, eager for a hearty meal, and the place welcomed me with its warm, inviting atmosphere right away.
➡️ What I Ordered: I went for mutton haleem, mutton biryani, mutton curry, and 2 butter naans, which came to around $60. The portions were generous, leaving me with leftovers to take home.
➡️ Taste & Quality: The mutton haleem was a standout—rich, spicy, and incredibly tasty, making it the highlight of the meal. The mutton biryani followed closely, with well-cooked rice and tender meat that hit all the right notes. The mutton curry paired beautifully with the soft, buttery naans, creating a flavor combo I absolutely loved. The quality felt authentic and fresh, with every dish showcasing great care in preparation.
➡️ Portion vs Price: At $60, the portions were more than satisfying—I couldn’t finish it all and happily took the rest home. The price felt reasonable for the quality and quantity, offering a fulfilling experience.
➡️ Service & Environment: It’s self-service, so I had to pick up my order, which was fine, and I appreciated the sides like onions, lemon, raita, and kurma that came with it. The restroom was clean, and the restaurant itself was hygienic with a great ambience that made dining enjoyable, even with a moderate crowd.
➡️ Final Thoughts: Desi Dhaaba in Gurnee is a gem for lovers of Indian cuisine, with the mutton haleem, biryani, and curry stealing the show. The self-service setup worked well, and the clean, cozy environment added to the joy. I’ll definitely be back for more!
If you’re near 3900 Washington St, Gurnee, Desi Dhaaba is a must-try for a tasty, hearty meal!

A quick visit to this charming restaurant was a rewarding experience! Delicious food freshly prepared cheerfully by the kitchen staff. A feature of this place is its adjacency to a large Indian grocery with plenty of speciaties including exotic and refreshing beverages to complement your meal. Visit soon and enjoy!

I had a wonderful experience at desi dhaba. The food was absolutely delicious and authentic. We ordered pani puri,mirchi,Punugulu and every dish was packed with flavor and perfectly spiced. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and the service was quick even though the restaurant was busy. The ambience was warm and welcoming, with beautiful Indian decor and soft background music that in made the atmosphere relaxing. Portion sizes were generous and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. I also appreciated how clean and well-maintained the space was. Highly recommend if you’re craving flavorful and satisfying Indian food. Will definitely be coming back!

NICE CHAAT/SNACK OPTIONS! It’s a small eatery inside the Indian grocery store. They are very popular for biryani and non veg food menu. They do offer many chaats and some vegetarian meals. They food is a great option for quick bites at an economical price. Their pav bhaji and bhel puri are a good to try.
