“Fresh and delicious food. Nice to have a halal restaurant in Palatine.“

“I just stopped in for lunch carryout, and I am beyond impressed. I picked up a chicken tikka masala rice bowl with a side of chicken samosas and sat down to eat -- the meal became the highlight of my work day.

The rice bowl came with more than enough food to bring some of it home to the family. I didn't offer any inputs on spice level or anything, and it came out with an excellent combination of proper heat and flavor; love was found in every spoon, and I can't wait to try more from their menu. The samosas are deliciously savory and have a nice crisp to them, and come with a sweet sauce that pairs very well. Their prices surprised me! ~$16 for enough food for two people!

I'm very happy, and will be coming back!“

“Highly recommended, great experience and one of the best part was the had CHEESE BUTTER MASALA, which is one the favorite.“

“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.“

“The best Indian food I ever had“

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

“This establishment is nothing less than Spectacular. From the appetizers to the entrees to the different naans, you simply can’t miss. Chana Masala and Chicken tikka is incredible. One of the best Indian restaurants in all of Chicago land area.“

“Check this place out! Amazing food and wine. This is a hidden gem in Vernon Hills. Skip the pub style restaurants and check out a spot with great wine and food.“

“One word: wow! Turmerica brings authentic flavors and dishes that are often missed at other restaurants. The Misal Pav is a must try! It tastes just like the ones I have had in India, and I appreciate that they serve additional spicy chili oil to increase the spice per your level. The pav was very soft and the portion size was just right! I was also very impressed with the Solkadhi, which I had never had before. It was so delicious that I could probably drink several of those at once! The last thing I tried was the Khasta Kachori. My husband and I both really enjoyed it as a snack! They serve it with the chutneys and yogurt on the side you can add it according to your taste! I will definitely be back to try their other dishes like pau bhaji, wadapav, mango or chikoo milkshake, and the specialty desserts! Btw, they serve Jain food as well!“

“The Thrupthi Foods Store - snacks side restaurant (back of the store) makes so mouthwatering Tandoori! This is our all time favorite and best item for weekend. Chicken Puff and Veg puff are so fresh and delicious . Also, I love the Alu tiki .It is so delicious and yum.
It is rare to have fresh and healthy Indian food in Chicago , fortunately you can find here . It is my number one to-go place to grab a mouthwatering snack and go. Even the biriyanis are really good. Overall food is much better than nearby Indian restaurants.“

“Beautiful place,beautiful atmosphere, highly recommended 👌 👍 ✨️“

“I’m so glad my friend recommended Zaika! The food was absolutely amazing—delicious, authentic, and full of rich flavors. Their dal has a comforting, homely taste, and the thin chapatis are just perfect. The lamb and goat curry were both outstanding—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. On top of that, the prices are surprisingly low for the quality and quantity of food they serve. It’s rare to find such authentic Indian cuisine at such an affordable price. Highly recommend!!!“

“🔥🔥I don't know why this restaurant has below 4 stars.🔥🔥

Their food was delicious and it is authentic. I had two full plates of each item on the menu and it was all delicious. The different chicken currys, nann bread, deserts etc. we're all great. A dinner buffet of authentic Indian food for $16.99 is a great deal and well worth it!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION! 💯“

“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.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Rivaj, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a fantastic evening. The service was top-notch - they were attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. But the real star of the show was the food. Oh, the food! Every dish we ordered was expertly prepared, presented, and bursting with flavor. We started with the Paneer Pakora, which was crispy, spicy, and addictive. For my main course, I opted for Malai Kofta, which was cooked to perfection and literally melted in my mouth. And don't even get me started on the Carrot Halwa - it was the perfect sweet treat to cap off the meal. What truly impressed me, though, was the attention to detail and commitment to quality that Rivaj embodies. From the freshly baked bread to the carefully curated wine list, every aspect of the dining experience has been thoughtfully considered. If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience, look no further than Rivaj. I'll be back, and soon! The highlight is exceptional service, outstanding cuisine, cozy atmosphere.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“Very authentic and reasonably priced for quality“

“Food was good.. i would have given 5 star if it would have come little hot... Ambience is nice.. Service was slow .. but overall if you want kathiawadi food .. this place you should try“

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

“I have been eating there for the last 14 months and have never experienced anything but excellent food and great dine in service. When I request my food extra spicy (like Thai places over the Lincoln tunnel) I get exactly what I asked for. Also, they have the best food I've eaten in all of North Chicago. I recommend either the lamb or goat curry.“
