45 Best Indian Restaurants near Prospect Heights

“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 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.“

“Tried the Tava Fish Fry, Chicken 65 Biryani, and Mysore Masala Dosa. All items were quite good overall. A couple of minor points: the biryani would benefit from a saalna or gravy accompaniment, and the masala coating on the tava fish fry felt slightly thick or caked on. Otherwise, enjoyable meal.“

“Tasty Food, welcoming staff, Relaxing environment“

“Great service and authentic food!“

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

“Tried their boneless dum biryani family pack

Unlike most layered biryanis, every grain of rice was fully seasoned and packed with flavor (not just the food color)
It came pre-mixed (not layered)

I do not want to comments on whether its authentic but its delicious and had a different in taste.

Fyi I find their family pack costs more than Nawabi Hyderabad House and doesn’t come with extras except raita“

“Good news websiteplz like and shere“

“The best Indian food I ever had“

“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!“

“The food here was outstanding! I finally found my new favorite Indian place!!!“

“Food was amazing!! Loved having South Indian food that tasted authentic and not Americanized. Cant wait to come back to Chicago just to eat here.“

“We were looking for a place to dine-in around the area. This place caught my eye! We are glad we ended up going here! Large variety of Indian themed pizzas! Loved them all! The beverage menu was great too! They got a Mexican ice-cream place over there too! Huge quantity and top customer service was served! We plan to visit back if we are in the area!“

“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 smells and flavors are like no other“

“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.“

“This is an amazing establishment in the Chicagoland area, and in my opinion the most authentic place to try delicious Pakistani food. My favorite was the biryani but it’s a hard choice between the other amazing dishes. It’s a must try restaurant and a great experience for group outings. The staff was extremely kind and accommodating with our specific requests. Overall great food and service, will definitely go again!“

“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!!!“

“We have been to this location many times, but last night was a terrible experience. We went to celebrate our 24th anniversary. The staff at the host stand was disengaged and unfriendly. We had to ask 4 times for a table & were never asked for a name for a waitlist. Finally we made a quick reservation & went back to the host stand at the time of our reservation & were still told that no tables were available. Then we located a table at the bar, but it was filthy & no staff came to clean it. A random bar staffer offered us a table on the patio, which we had been asking for since the beginning. Again, no customer service from the host or hostesses at all. Once seated, our waitress took our order. But we waited a very very long time for our appetizers, drank our wine, then waited about 45 minutes to pay the bill. Worst experience of costumer service we've ever had at this location.“

“Ordered Dabeili and paneer gravy from neeima , both were too good , specially paneer everyone ask from where I order , both things are must try , highly recommend neelima kitchen for catering and v efficient delivery is always on time .“

“Excellent food. Excellent service. What more do you need or want from a restaurant!! 10/10. Highly recommend.“

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

“🔥🔥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! 💯“

“We came here for dinner tonight and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience! The best way to describe our meal is “elevated comfort food!” Everything we ordered, came out beautifully plated, very quick service, even with a full house, and very attentive staff. We ordered the spiced carrots, naan, brisket, and pork belly. All of them were delicious, and my favorite by far was the pork belly, perfectly seared and paired with an excellent sauce. The berry spritzer cocktail was refreshing and not too sweet, dessert was just right, overall fantastic experience. We will definitely come back!“

“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?“

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

“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 about JK is good!“

“Awesome Food great service!“

“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!!!!“

“Delicious food. Wonderful lunch menu. 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.“

“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%“

“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.“

“Very authentic and reasonably priced for quality“

“I highly recommend Vasco’s Peri Peri. The food is amazing and the size portions of the food is incredible. Especially in this economy. The lemon and herb chicken bowl is to die for. This place is BETTER than Chipotle. Love this place! And excited for the new location in Lombard.“

“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!“

“Excellent taste!“

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

“We had dinner during 4th of July weekend. The food was delicious and served promptly.
The Indian waitress was not friendly and didn’t understand English. She had an attitude and make us not to be in the restaurant. The gentleman was nice. Don’t know maybe family members.
It’s not romantic or elegant place. It’s look like a cafeteria with old furniture. Also, quite noisy. The staff needs to be trained and not staring at the customers.“

“We catered the butter chicken, tandoori roti, and masala rice and the food was delicious! It wasn’t heavy cream based. The portion sizes were good compared to a lot of other Indian restaurants. Highly recommended! Definitely will be ordering again!“

“Everything was so delicious and yummy. My wife and I went to kolachi from wisconsin just to eat the best briyani and haleem. As always, I have the best experience.“

“Really good chicken tikka masala, I asked for naan, he said they didn't have it but they had roti??? I think that's the name. I said ok sure.
It is thinner than naan but really good. Great customer service. There is no dine in at all, only take out. Inside is ok, not much going on.
Will come back & will remember to ask to make it spicier. I didn't know you could choose the level of spicy.“
