32 Best Indian Restaurants near Riverwoods

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The service is always as warm as the dishes. The food is fusion and they make it work so well! My new favorite (replacing the shrimp tacos with makhni sauce) is the shorba (spicy tomato soup) with paneer sliders (beautiful umami grilled cheese).“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Outstanding cuisine! Chicken tikka masala and chicken biriyani was prepared to perfection! We ordered it in a mild flavor and the food still had a great kick to it! Definitely going back to try the other dishes! Great service and super friendly! Highly recommended! Plan on sending my friends and family as well! Thank you, Ali!“

“Everything about JK is good!“

“Cute sit down South Indian vegetarian restaurant along Dempster Street. We shared the South Indian Combo with masala dosa, ghee upma, vada, and idli served with sambar and chutneys. One of best dosas I’ve ever had. The gulab jamun dessert was hot, fresh, and sweet. Highly recommend and looking forward to exploring more of the large food menu.“

“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%“

“Very authentic and reasonably priced for quality“

“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!“

“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.“
