50 Best Indian Restaurants near Oak Park

“Wonderful food & service!“

“I've been ordering delivery from this place consistently over the past few months but finally made it in person tonight. Dhanteraz is easily my favorite Indian restaurant in the city with spot-on food, a welcoming setting (we sat on the sidewalk patio), and great service. I loved how the lamb biryani was served in a clay pot with a breaded lid. I didn't catch his name but there was a wonderful young man working the door, taking our orders, and closing us out who just did a stellar job from the service front. I was very impressed and will be back soon.“

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

“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.“

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

“We did the chef's counter tasting menu for our anniversary and it was incredible, every course was a hit and I don't think we could choose a single standout if we tried. Staff were great and super attentive, the wines and cocktail paired with our courses were perfect, overall a 10/10 experience.“

“the lamb with spinach, mushrooms and potatoes was so delicious! Vegetable vindaloo was pretty good, but asked if there were green peas and was told no. There were a LOT. the garlic Naan was delightful“

“Nina's was an excellent value, and tasty - a place I will return to or order from in the future for Indian food. I've been enjoying indian food since I was a child in the 70's, and recently my elder greek aunt mentioned she knew about Nina's and wanted to try it. She's in her early 90's and I knew she had concern for flavors and overly hot spices, so I was initially anxious - yet the menu had many clear options and while I can tolerate medium heat in dishes, I was able to discern helpfully which dishes were significantly spiced and also find out if the spice was hot, or simply aromatic in descriptions - she tried the Goat Biryani and requested it not over-spiced. Portions were excellent, both for her dish and the Chicken Tikka Masala which my wife and I requested, which we stated we liked spice for. They accomplished our dishes well all around and accompanied with delicious crisp veg samosas filled with the usual lovely and tender filling - dipping sauces, garlic naan, and complimentry basmati rice with our tikka dishes. The little gulab jamuun donut balls in sweet sauce was a perfect desert at the end.

My aunt's goat biryani was very pleasantly spiced, not hot but still a nice medley of spice that accompanied the large and tasty pieces of goat - which really pleased my greek aunt and though she ate as much as she could, she still sent half of it home with me and my wife AND took some of it home with herself as left overs! As a standby, we orderded normal chai with cream and sugar and it was excellent, but they have a full bar and selections of indian beers and other beverages, as well as western sodas.

The ambiance as some have mentioned may need a little work, but it was nice tables inside, many two tops, but also enough to handle medium parties as well without rearrangement. Quiet inside, we could hear ourself talk and enjoy the gathering - and though some might feel an indian restaruant needs something like lowly played pleasant music -by and large Nina's cooking did the speaking and it would call us back.“

“Took my date here from dinner as she recommended, and was pleased as punch that it was as good as she advertised! Service was lightning quick, atmosphere was very relaxing and welcoming, and the food was divine. It was my first time having Indian cuisine, and it did not disappoint one bit! I had the Butter Chicken and my date had the Cheese Dosa. Both came out hot and appetizing, and the Butter Chicken tasted amazing. 10/10, would absolutely eat here almost every day if I could.
Edit on 08/15/2026: Went back her for dinner again and it was still a banger. Get the Mushroom Cheese Dosa, it's so good.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Kama Bistro is the best Indian restaurant, hands down! I can't believe they are so low on your list (even after Blueberry Cafe, no offense Blueberry!). Whenever we've eaten at Kama, we are always so happy that we did. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Highly, highly recommend.“

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

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

“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.“

“Wow!!! The bone in curry was one of the best meals I have ever had! So much flavor and went so well with the garlic naan! They even brought out a dessert of doughnut like balls dipped in a syrup free of charge. So tasty! Was visiting but will make a point to go back the next time I am in Chicago.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Nice service & good & face food“

“Came in for a quick to go order and it was pretty quiet, but the staff was friendly, the food was excellent, and it was all ready surprisingly quickly. Also larger portion sizes than I anticipated, so though it wasn’t cheap, it did feel well worth the cost.“

“Enjoyed a great meal with tasty food. Service was efficient and well-managed. Staff were welcoming and attentive. Prices were fair and reasonable.“

“I’ve been meaning to stop by this shop for a little while. I got the iced salted maple matcha latte with cloud foam and it was delicious! I wanted to try the ube crinkle cookies but they were out on a Sunday afternoon. The staff were very friendly, and the wait was about 10 minutes. The atmosphere was a little loud with the two restaurants in one space so I grabbed my matcha to go.“

“Great food, quick service. Spicy means spicy“

“Came all the way from the suburbs after hearing great things, and it was definitely worth the drive. The Zafrani Mutton Biryani and Beef Shawarma were absolutely delicious and reminded me of back home. Authentic flavors, generous portions, and friendly service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Excellent food and customer service. Food arrives quickly and Portion sizes are ample. If you are looking for authentic Hyderabad food this place delivers! We come here very often as a family. The owner is extremely accommodating and kind. Highly recommend!“

“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?“

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

“The dosa tasted buttery with a pleasant tang. Bonus points for asking how I wanted the dosa cooked. I requested somewhere between soft and crispy and exactly what I got. Peanut and coconut chutneys were very tasty: spicy and well-seasoned with just the right amount of salt and spice“

“Fresh, hot food with great spices, cozy vibes, and super friendly service. The place feels genuinely authentic, and they even give complimentary crackers with dips.

We had the lamb curry, Rangoli platters, garlic and chili naan, falooda, and mango kulfi — everything hit the spot. We left really satisfied.“

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

“Ive been coming here for probably a year now. The food reminds me of my mom and dad's food, great taste and great quality! Definitely recommend the rajma masala, masala dosa, and chicken tikka masala. The mango lassi is great too if you, definitely get that to top off your meal. Highly recommend Klay Oven for lunch or a quick bite!“

“Authentic taste, great portioning, clean, and simple. I had tasted such good Desi food only back home on grand occasions like weddings etc. This guy is simply magical. I tried Tala gosht, allo Qeema, and Aaloo Palak.... everything was awesome. And he has a good list of vegi choices too. Definitely going back.“

“I've had many meals pizza,egg rolls shrimp ect. All fantastic, it just that thiers nobody to greet you is the only issue..
Just an idea maybe someone should come out and see if it customers every 10-15 minutes coming to get food...“

“One of best Indian foods I've tried in the greater Chicago area, and I've been here for five years now(esp the chicken 65 and thali). They do a have a weirder opening and closing time now but it is so worth it to beat the traffic there.“
