“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.“

“We went here for lunch on a Saturday, It wasn’t busy at all, but don’t let that fool you these people know how to cook Indian food. I am a big foodie and I can appreciate when it’s cooked right. Even the rice I can tell is cooked with filtered water. We had the Chicken, curry, and Paalak Paneer with vegetable samosas, everything including the sauce, the appetizers came with was excellent, including the Garlic naan. I Highly recommend this place including the mango lassi, Yum!“

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

“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.“

“Best chicken 65 that you could ever taste only in hayderabad, I really want go there every time i remember the taste, amazing friendly staff, parking sometimes little bit hard, but the experience is non comparable, the bread all so tasty and fresh and worm, one of my top restaurants.“

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

“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 is by far the best Indian restaurant with the best food and service I’ve ever been to. I am a loyal customer and I live near Devon’s India town. We have had many dishes off of the menu and every one of them was absolutely top notch. What’s even better is that they are extremely fair priced and always treat us like welcome guests in their home. Try this place. You won’t regret it.“

“Blown away by their biriyani, the flavors were rich and vibrant and the spice level was perfect, they provided a large supply of raita to cut the spice and it was sweet and creamy to perfectly compliment the spice.

The restaurant itself is clean, modern and family run. Members of the family take turns waiting tables taking orders and handling the take away orders. The laughter of young children adds a nice ambience to the place.

The food itself brings me back to my time living in India and the flavors and spice could transport you there even on the coldest of Chicago days.

Will be back soon. :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“

“Very laid back and low lit environment. Great place to have a nice conversation without any noise pollution. This place is 25+ years strong for a reason. The staff is very kind and considerate. They will help you load up your order into your car and this is also a great place to cater your next event.“

“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.“

“Wonderful food & service!“

“Everything about JK is good!“

“yum!!!! The paneer butter masala and samosas were perfectly spicy (aka not really) and flavorful, the gulab jamun is a sweet lovers dream desert omg... We ordered online and it was ready fast and pick-up was so easy with their window. It's expensive, but the portions are worth it and so so so good!“

“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!!!!“

“Does not make any sense that Dosa is a breakfast food but Dosa point doesn’t open until lunch time. I always crave it in the morning but waiting until 12:30 to have it for lunch is a buzz kill. Please consider changing the hours to open at a regular time like 10 am!“

“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.“

“I had dinner with my friends and it was also my first time trying Indian food. Rice was refilled and the chicken was well cooked , also the sauce was delicious. I got the Tikka Masala chicken and also the Garlic Pita , you can deep the pita in the sauce.. delicious 🤤

I recommend this place 100%“

“Delicious food. Wonderful lunch menu. Thank you!“

“Very delicious tacos, mango lassi, chicken spring rolls!“

“If your palate is interested in an explosion of new taste and flavors then please try this place! This was our first visit and we will return. Dishes I’d recommend Manchurian baby corn, Chicken 65!“

“Sonya is wonderful. Come in for good food and cheap beer!!“

“This place has delicious food and the service was excellent! Our group of four found this to be some of the best Indian food we had ever had! We loved the naan, tandoori chicken, lentil dish, chickpeas, and the beef dish we had, which was all made fresh when we ordered it. They lowered the spice level just a bit for us and it was perfect! I wish I had taken pictures of our food, but I didn’t think of it in time. I don’t think you could go wrong here with whatever you ordered, and make sure to order some chai after dinner! Yum!“
