We also got Gajjar ka halwa for dessert and were just impressed with the quality of the food and the warmth and friendliness of the host. We will definitely be back for more 😀“

“All the dosa's are fabulous, chicken corn soup is absolutely delicious. the mixed grill, roast mutton, chicken samosas all outstanding.“

“Nina's was an excellent value, and tasty - a place I will return to or order from in the future for Indian food. I've been enjoying indian food since I was a child in the 70's, and recently my elder greek aunt mentioned she knew about Nina's and wanted to try it. She's in her early 90's and I knew she had concern for flavors and overly hot spices, so I was initially anxious - yet the menu had many clear options and while I can tolerate medium heat in dishes, I was able to discern helpfully which dishes were significantly spiced and also find out if the spice was hot, or simply aromatic in descriptions - she tried the Goat Biryani and requested it not over-spiced. Portions were excellent, both for her dish and the Chicken Tikka Masala which my wife and I requested, which we stated we liked spice for. They accomplished our dishes well all around and accompanied with delicious crisp veg samosas filled with the usual lovely and tender filling - dipping sauces, garlic naan, and complimentry basmati rice with our tikka dishes. The little gulab jamuun donut balls in sweet sauce was a perfect desert at the end.

My aunt's goat biryani was very pleasantly spiced, not hot but still a nice medley of spice that accompanied the large and tasty pieces of goat - which really pleased my greek aunt and though she ate as much as she could, she still sent half of it home with me and my wife AND took some of it home with herself as left overs! As a standby, we orderded normal chai with cream and sugar and it was excellent, but they have a full bar and selections of indian beers and other beverages, as well as western sodas.

The ambiance as some have mentioned may need a little work, but it was nice tables inside, many two tops, but also enough to handle medium parties as well without rearrangement. Quiet inside, we could hear ourself talk and enjoy the gathering - and though some might feel an indian restaruant needs something like lowly played pleasant music -by and large Nina's cooking did the speaking and it would call us back.“

“Every time we've visited Maharaj Indian Grill, whether dining in or carryout, the staff have been friendly and the food, well, very tasty! We'd recommend this restaurant to everybody.“

“Highly recommended, great experience and one of the best part was the had CHEESE BUTTER MASALA, which is one the favorite.“

“Review for 2 veg thali and porotta. The vegetarian thali was very tasty and quality too. After every restaurant meal normally I get stomach burning sensation. I didn’t get any in this restaurant. The quantity of the food is also good 👍 Thank you so much for the restaurant for providing us such delicious and quality food 🙏 kindly keep up with the quality 🙏“

“Highly recommend! Good food that 3 generations of Desi immigrants approve of, from those born in colonial India, to post partition Pakistanis, to American-Born little ones. Suits all palates.

All food was good but saag paneer in particular was the bomb. So was nihari (authentic!). Elachi chai was great , too. Very clean, down to the bathroom. Kind service.“

“Nice service & good & face food“

“Kama Bistro is the best Indian restaurant, hands down! I can't believe they are so low on your list (even after Blueberry Cafe, no offense Blueberry!). Whenever we've eaten at Kama, we are always so happy that we did. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Highly, highly recommend.“

“I tried Vasco’s Peri Peri for lunch and was blown away by the Two Tenders Rice Bowl. Tons of flavor, generous portions, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. It’s hard to beat a fresh, hot meal like this for under $11. Perfect quick lunch option Monday through Friday!“

“We were so happy to find an Indian restaurant that closed later. Mughal Is a very classy restaurant with a nice atmosphere and very modern, upbeat and unique vibe. Amazing menu , delicious food with wonderful service (Our server Jay was very kind and knowledgeable w menu, cuisine) conpleted our visit. We already are looking forward to coming back! (parking can be a little tricky, but we will remember to drive in near Trader Joe’s lot)“

“Happy to see this place pop up in Elmhurst, as I was sad to see the Oakbrook location close down. The food here is done well and the staff are very nice. The restaurant was clean. And, I felt very respected and comfortable while I sat down and ate. I can’t wait to come back again.“

“This place won our hearts during our 4th July long weekend visit to Chicago this year. We were 3 days in Chicago and for all those days, this was our spot for lunch.

The ambience was nice, place was clean & beautiful and the food was just DIVINE! From everything we tried, our favorite dishes were Paneer Lollipop, Malai Kofta, Chicken Chettinad, Benne Dosa, Malabar Parotta, and of course, filter coffee. Must must must visit this place while in Chicago.“

“This food was absolutely phenomenal; I came here with my family for my birthday, and the service was incredible. The staff was very friendly and kind; our server’s name was Shikhan (I’m not quite sure though). He wore a red shirt and served us from 7-8:20pm. I highly recommend anyone to bring their family here for dinner.“

“Lou's still has the best pan pizza and service is always good!! The place is very loud, however; so even with a party of only 4 in a corner booth in the main dining room (which I highly recommend vs the back room), it was often hard to hear what our companions were saying.“

“I recommend everything, their food is delicious!!!“

“Dining Experience On Thursday, September 4, 2025 :👇🏽 We truly enjoyed our visit to Chennai Central .If you're a fan of South Indian cuisine, this is definitely a place worth visiting! We tried Chennai Central's Thursday Chaat & Dosa Buffet Launch, and it was an exceptional experience! The event drew a huge crowd, but the efficient service ensured that everyone had a great time. The ambiance of the dining room was also noteworthy, with nicely designed partitions that provided a sense of privacy, making it comfortable for guests to enjoy their meals without feeling crowded. The food spread was truly impressive, with a wide variety of dishes that were fresh, authentic, and flavorful, all served piping hot. The highlight of our meal was the freshly steamed idlis, which were soft and fluffy. Our server, Sai, politely informed us about the batch, and it was a treat to enjoy them straight from the steamer. This attention to detail reminded me of my family's restaurant, where my dad would famously say, "Idlis are never sitting around waiting for customers; instead, our customers patiently wait for fresh idlis steamed to order!" It's a reminder to appreciate the value of slow, carefully prepared meals, resonating deeply with my father's motto at Chowpatti Vegetarian Restaurant - "what we cook at home for the four of us, is now being cooked for all of us in this dining room." Chennai Central's team clearly shares a similar commitment to quality. The medu vadas were superb, with my mom remarking that they were as good as, or possibly even better than, the ones she prepares at home. The Pav Bhaji was another standout dish, with a perfect balance of spices and a delightful Bombay punch - kudos to Chef Ramesh for his exceptional preparation! We also enjoyed the freshly grilled to-order home-style dosas, served with delicious sambhar and a variety of yummy chutneys. The kesari dessert was a perfect finish to our meal, with a smooth texture and just the right amount of sweetness. What made our experience even more special was the outstanding service provided by two friendly and accommodating servers, both named Sai. They were attentive, smiling, and ensured that everyone in the dining room had a great experience. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Dining Experience On August 20,2025 : 👇🏽 I had the pleasure of visiting Chennai Central on their very first opening day August 20,2025 and I was thoroughly impressed! The ambiance was clean and inviting, with comfortable furniture that set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive, adding to the overall warmth of the evening. The food was exceptional, with standout dishes like the Masala Dosa served with three delicious chutneys that burst with authentic, bold flavors. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the personal touch from Chef Divakar and Chef Ramesh, who made rounds through the dining area to ensure everyone was enjoying their meal. They even took the time to share tips on how to properly enjoy their famous layered Parottas with Korma gravy, the authentic way – by generously smothering the Korma onto the Parottas and letting the rich flavors soak in before digging in, a delightful touch! We discovered that this is a chef-owned and operated restaurant, and it's clear that their passion for authentic South Indian cuisine shines through in every dish they serve. The vegetarian biryani was particularly noteworthy – it was flavorful, comforting, and satisfying. Every bite was a testament to the freshness and care put into preparing each dish. I'm already planning my next visit – it was that good! If you're looking for authentic South Indian cuisine with a personal touch, Chennai Central is definitely worth a try.“

“Wonderful food & service!“

“Having visited most of the India/Pakistani/Tandoori in the wide area. This was one of the best for food quality, service and value for money. We will be returning and telling others“

“I recently visited Belly Delhi and had lunch there. Being a Tuesday I had to have veg and I must day it did not dissapoint me. Vihaan was very cordial in making me feel comfortable and at the same time he suggested to start with Masala papad which was indeed great. I ordered Schezwan Chilly Fries and Kathal (Jackfruit) Veg biryani which was really delicious. At the end I had Nimbu shikanji (LIme soda ) which was also perfect! Overall I highly recommend this place and do look for Vihaan who really takes care of guests very well.“

“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?“

“7 Spices is an absolute gem! The food is simply fantastic—delicious, flavorful, and prepared with great attention to quality and taste. Every visit has been a wonderful experience, and the food never disappoints.

All items in the menu are fantastic, their Indo-Chinese is the best when compared to any other restaurants.

In addition to the food they have exceptional hospitality and outstanding customer service. The staff genuinely care about their guests and go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable.

I especially want to recognize Valan, who has consistently taken such wonderful care of me during my visits. His warmth, professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine kindness are truly remarkable. He makes sure everything is perfect, pays attention to the little details, and always goes the extra mile to make the dining experience special. It’s rare to come across someone who takes such genuine pride in looking after customers.“

“Everything about JK is good!“

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

“Coming all the way from Virginia, enjoying authentic Nepali food at Himalayan Restaurant in Niles, Chicago, was an amazing experience! 🇳🇵❤ The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. It truly felt like a taste of home. Highly recommended! 🙏“

“Delicious food. Wonderful lunch menu. Thank you!“

“Really enjoyed our experience at Cuisine of India. The food was flavorful, fresh, and there was a great variety of Indian dishes to choose from. The buffet is a nice option because you can try different curries, rice, naan, and vegetarian dishes all in one visit. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable for the quality and variety.

The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. Definitely a good place to visit if you enjoy Indian food, and we’ll be coming back again!“

“The food was tasty, although if you’re used to very spicy food, you might find the spice level a little mild. One thing I really liked was that they serve the food in dishes with lids, which helps keep it warm throughout the meal. Even by the time you finish eating, the food stays nice and hot, which is a great touch! The prices are also very reasonable and offer good value for money. Overall, I had a great experience and really enjoyed the food!“

“Very delicious tacos, mango lassi, chicken spring rolls!“

“Sonya is wonderful. Come in for good food and cheap beer!!“

“The food and service at Dosa Point x Boba Junction were great. We enjoyed the food so much that we forgot to take pictures. They also had Mexican options, and my personal favorites were the birria tacos and chorizo enchiladas. We visited for lunch and had no wait.“

“Had a great experience at Tandoori Al Badia! We ordered the butter chicken, tikka masala, nihari, and biryani, and the food was amazing. Really enjoyed the variety and being able to try several dishes in one meal. Everything came together for a really satisfying dinner, and I’d happily order these dishes again. The service was good as well, which made the experience even better. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re craving Indian food. I’m looking forward to coming back for another meal!“

“very nice people. immaculate. modern decor. astonishing food. many dishes. extremely authentic. completely delicious. perfectly fresh. Everything made from scratch. highly, highly recommended!“

“We had brunch at Shahi and it was a get together of almost 75 ladies. the quality of food , taste and service was out of this world. just the Chinese noodles were extra spicy but rest was 5/5. I love the decor, taste and hospitality since the owner Rahila Al Karim took over.“

“Excellent food, specially Halwa Puri.“

“You go for the food not for the atmosphere. The plates are served fresh and hot and best eaten on the tables provided in the restaurant. They do travel well though. Lots of choices. Portion sizes are not gigantic except for the vegetarian one we got which was rice. Was huge. Great place for a quick lunch or dinner.“
