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 stands out for its delicious masalla chai and perfectly prepared Indian dishes, such as the lamb meatballs and korma. The butter naan is tandoori cooked to have a crisp bottom and doughy middle.
The service is quick and friendly, with the option 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. The restaurant is a high-quality Indian food flower in the Sauk Valley desert, and it is recommended to try the Tikka Masala if new to Indian food.
Customers praise the freshly made food, the kind and attentive waitstaff, and the delightful dishes like the mango lassi, butter chicken, and garlic naan. The bhaji onion rings are also a hit, crispy and fun to snack on. 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 full of flavor without being too spicy, and the waitress' enthusiasm for the food is appreciated.
