28 Best Indian Restaurants near Riverwoods

“Found this restaurant while looking through Google maps and saw the highly rated reviews! Upon picking up my food order, the staff was telling me about their food specials and highlighting certain menus to try and she was very friendly and kind! I ordered the chicken 65 (enough for 2 servings!) and Fish Tikka Masala. I also received rice, too, on the side! I will definitely say that they were delicious and I would certainly order those items again. I will definitely try their other food options in their menu as well! They have deals Tuesday thru Thursday, which is great (but double-check with the restaurant prior or if they have a website)! The restaurant is a hidden gem and I think a must try for sure! I'm surprised the restaurant wasn't busy at that time I went to pick up the food!“

“Had a fabulous meal at Flame India (Libertyville location) tonite. Had the chicken & cilantro samosa for appetizer & for my main dish butter chicken & chili cheese naan. Our server Peter was very nice & attentive. I cant wait to come back again!“

“These guys nailed the Indian-fusion food! Simple but excellent adaptations of classic favourites from Indian, Korean, American, Mexican, Italian cuisines (and then some!)We tried the vada pav (Indian burger with stuffed fried potato patty, spices etc) tacos samosa and chicken tikka were both delicious! Momos (potstickers), thin crust pizza, and samosa chaat (smashed samosas with chickpeas, chutneys, onions etc)Pleasantly surprised every dish done just perfectly with its own twist on the original. And lovely presentation.They have an ice cream station (not to be missed!)The place is casual, perky and fun… Absolutely try this place out.“

“This restaurant is my favorite treat. The food is so flavorful, good portions, and has always arrived hot upon delivery. I love how there are so many different flavors between the dishes, so I can order a variety. One of my favorites is the butter chicken and dipping the naan bread into the sauce. Yum!!“

“Delicious food! It is not the first time for my family here and they never let us down. They have many items on the menu and I could recommend all of them. But we particularly like their sandwiches! If you need something qiuck to bite, look no further. Won't be disappointed. They can do the tray of them if you have more people to feed!There is a young, very pleasant lady working there - Sneha. She really knows how to treat customers. Very polite and friendly.We will definitely be back!“

“Not only is the food great but the wonderful gentleman who was my server was amazing!Lets start off my reviewing the lunch entree I got. I ordered the chef recommendation which comes with tandoori chicken, buttered chicken, and lamb (I don't know what type of curry).I asked for a spice of medium to spicy mix. Ask and you shall receive! The spice level was perfect. I wanted heat but not so much that I don't taste the food.The buttered chicken is buttered chicken. I call this the gateway food of Indian food. It's simple. Nothing that I personally would ever rave over but was yummy. Now moving on to the lamb. Oh. My. Lanta. Cooked deliciously. The curry that it came in was also tasty. Tandoori chicken came out sizzling and was seasoned perfectly with the right amount of crisp. Tender and soft as well. Lunch came with Naan which was fluffy and it looked like it was baked fresh. Definitely not the typical flat store bought Naan. Chutney was also provided when I was seated. I ordered the mango Lassi and as you would expect it was standard and good.Lets quickly talk about service. I came in with luggage (just came from the airport) and they held the door open for me. So kind! I was seated at the perfect seat where I could toss my luggage to the side and out of the way. I asked for a box and the check (server could tell I was still picking and eating) and he said "I'll bring the check later, no need to rush". What a man! So sweet and kind. I came during non-rush hours (after 2pm) and I felt like I wasn't a bother at all and very welcomed. I appreciated the small talk here and there too as a solo diner!Definitely check this place out! They also have a fully stocked bar but I didn't order a drink.“

“I'm a novice when it comes to Indian food. I have had some very bad Indian food. But this was excellent. So good. So flavorful. Excellent rice. The waiter recommended the chicken tiki masala and lamb Josh Rogan. Both were so delicious. It's BYOB. So bring your own wine. But definitely try it. Naan was excellent.“

“I needed Indian food and this place had it. The dishes made sense and I showed up on Dosa Day, which was an awesome bonus.There was an ever-flowing pot of spiced tea and a picture of the great pyramid of India. I truly felt like a participant in the subcontinental cycle of Samsara.“

“Everything was perfect, the food and wine were excellent , and I was so busy having a great conversation with my friend that I didn’t pay too much attention to the bill. The server showed me a screen With the total and nothing was itemized, and again, I was so busy with my conversation, and the amount looked all right that I didn’t ask for an actual receipt. It should be a regular practice to always provide an itemized bill to every customer.“

“I recently dined at Himalayan curry hut and the experience was truly exceptional. From the warm ambiance to the attentive staff, every detail was meticulously curated. The menu offered a delightful array of dishes, each bursting with flavor and expertly crafted. The presentation was impeccable, enhancing the overall dining experience. The waitstaff was knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendations, ensuring our satisfaction. It's evident that the chefs prioritize quality ingredients, as every bite was a symphony of taste. Himalayan curry hut effortlessly combines culinary artistry with a welcoming atmosphere, making it a must-visit for those seeking a memorable dining experience.“

“I recently ordered a customized meal (Chicken Biryani and pakora, frontier rice and chile) at this place. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The level of customization (gluten free,nut free) available catered perfectly to my dietary needs and preferences, making every meal a delightful and delicious experience. Mohammed is very thorough in taking orders and have delivered meals on time. Very reliable service! Highly recommend!“

“Best restaurant I have ever tried. Delicious food, fresh food, high quality with sufficient quantity. I tried the chicken Biryani, Rogan Josh, garlic naan , paneer Tikka and vegetarian combination platter. Omg now I confuse what to eat when I go next time. Everything was excellent, super tasty. I m very happy that I found this restaurant. Must try restaurant.“

They offer ready to go packages for some food items such as biriyani, butter chicken, samosas and many more.There is also an Indian store where you can buy many Indian spices and food items.“

“I’ve ordered from here a few times, but today’s dish of Chicken 65 was AMAZING. I had never tried Indian food until a few months ago and I can’t wait to try everything on the menu at Indian Bistro. Today was the first time I actually went inside and the employees could not have been sweeter. What a kind group of hard working people. And the atmosphere was so nice and inviting. I will for sure be back.Vegetarian options: There is a large vegetarian section and just as delicious as the meats.Parking: Parking is right out front. Easy.Wheelchair accessibility: My kids love the rice and butter bread.“

“Best Indian food in the area. Great flavors and the young gentleman in the front is super friendly and caring for the customers. My fiancé and I take out from there at least once a month and we have not had one bad experience. Prices are also very reasonable.“

“The best restaurant in the Des Plaines area close to many suburbs. Their food is great my kids love their nihari and I love their chicken boti and butter chicken and paya with their garlic naan. From their breakfast menu is my favorite halwa puri and their parathas. I have tried this restaurant from breakfast to lunch and dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

“My friend and I are always on the hunt for good Indian food and we know we’ll be back to ClayOven soon!We asked for 2 recommendations and our server did not disappoint. We had one chicken and one lamb dish, samosas, and enough garlic naan to kill us.The food was delicious, the staff friendly & helpful, and the restaurant clean & welcoming.“

“We have been long time customers from when they were on Devon Ave. years ago. This is much further, however we still come back over and over for the Chili Chicken, Frontier Chicken and all of other favorites! Great food for a quick bite, take out or dine in.“

“The food is amazing here.. The Hakka noodles were the star of the show.. We also tried chef’s special fried chicken biryani which was delicious and the dosa was great too.. The best way to end our meal was the Madras Coffee which was amazing and authentic!! We will definitely go back there..“

“The best Indian food I've had in a LONG time. It's 5 minutes farther away from us than Aroma but so worth it, for the price we got more and better flavors by a long shot. We just found our new go-to Indian location. We will be back! :)“

“Looking for a “hole in the wall” Indian restaurant? This place has really good servings/portions of their Indian dishes for a reasonable price (Military discount given for service members;).Food is flavorful and prepared hot for you, you can’t go wrong with any of the food on the menu. The owner will also great you with a smiley face and positive attitude.Support local folks!“

“This is my 4th time dining at this restaurant. When you’re here you’re getting an anthemic Indian cuisine experience. Their Boba is just the cherry on top! The staff know what they’re doing. To the DESI COMMUNITY please respect this establishment as a well ran business and don’t treat it like your aunty’ s house!!! Wait to be seated and be patient when they’re understaffed. This business is thriving and i wasn’t to see it stay! p.s. my one feedback is to bring in some warm lighting. The lights are too bright, softer lighting would be appreciated so you can comfortably eat with your hands. thank you.“

“Great Place for Daily Groceries. Good Quality & Quantity Products Are Available. You Get All From Here Daily Grocery Home Needs You Can Find Kitchen Items and Vegetables, Fruits, Snacks Chips and Chocolates, Shampoos, Soaps, and More Items Available Here All Things You Find in This Store.“

“If you feel like having good indian food then Rivaaj's saturday lunch buffet is worth a try. Tons of variety of veg and nonveg and everything is good. I am a good home cook and normally i dont like indian food at restaurants but for a change I loved the variety and taste of food available in buffet.“

“Great delivery, everything was super warm and packed nicely. We ordered the mixed Tandoori grill which had shrimp, two kinds of chicken, fish, lamb and some other kind of sausages we enjoyed. The fish was a bit too fishy so it didn't get eaten. We also ordered Malai Kofta which was super delicious. I ordered the meat medium spicy and the vegetable dish a little bit more spicy and I'll tell you what, they were both really really spicy. We were both sweating like crazy by the time we were done eating. A nice cool yogurt sauce would've been good with all the heat. All in all, we really enjoyed the food except for the fish. We will definitely eat there again or order from there. Yummy Indian food. Lots of other things for us to try on the menu.“

“Fresh and tasty food.The place has a very cozy atmosphere, although I can't comment on the service as I ordered takeout. The portions are reasonable, and the food is very good, with flavors and aromas that delight the palate with each bite. The menu details dietary restrictions very well, which is helpful. It's definitely a place I will return to without hesitation.“

“Just amazing food, we came here from Milwaukee for the authentic Indian food.It is spicy and flavorful with all the spices.The dosas where perfect soft and chutneys where just how they made it in my native Mangalore.We enjoyed dosas and chicken curry.Pollichatthu fish preparation which is, if m not mistaken oven baked in banana leaf.Definitely going back for some appam and chicken curry again“
