Maks American & Indian Bar & Grill is a unique restaurant located in rural northwest Illinois, attached to a Days Inn. It is the only Indian joint in the area and offers authentic southern Indian cuisine. The restaurant is known for its delicious masalla chai and expertly prepared Indian dishes, such as the lamb meatballs, chicken saag, and korma. The butter naan is tandoori cooked to have a crisp bottom and doughy middle.
The service is quick and friendly, with options for takeout or a proper sit-down meal. Prices are reasonable considering the high quality of the Indian food and the limited options in the area. Customers have described it as a high-quality Indian food flower in the Sauk Valley desert, and it is recommended to try the Tikka Masala or chicken tikka masala for those new to Indian food.
Guests praise the freshly made food, the kind and attentive waitstaff, and delightful dishes like the mango lassi, butter chicken, and garlic naan. The bhaji onion rings are a popular choice, being crispy and fun to snack on. Vegetarian options abound, with dishes like paneer tikka masala and mutter paneer receiving high marks for taste. For first-time Indian food diners, the staff is understanding and helpful in making the best decisions, even providing a special sampler appetizer. The chicken curry is noted for being full of flavor without being overly spicy, and the waitress' enthusiasm for the food is appreciated. Overall, it is a great spot for a meal, easy to access while traveling, with the added bonus of pool tables for entertainment.
