43 Best Indian Restaurants near Villa Park

“This was our first time eating at the restaurant and I called my order in for pick up. Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication in what I wanted, apparently FM is an abbreviation for filet mignon and I thought it was an abbreviation for family (larger) size. I’m only clarifying this in case somebody else didn’t know what FM stood for. The situation was resolved to our satisfaction. We ordered boneless chicken, biryani and mixed grill FM (also not to be confused with radio frequency🤣, just kidding of course after all it's a restaurant) and it came with hummus and pita bread. The food was delicious and we truly enjoyed it. It was large portions that lasted for 3 meals. The inside of the restaurant was beautifully decorated, and I look forward to dining in sometime in the future.“

“Excellent food, specially Halwa Puri.“

“I’ve been here a few times now…. Enjoyed the food but mainly Pakistani dishes…
Chinese options can be a hit or miss…

This time the Chinese dishes were great…
Much better tasting & decent quality….

The bbq platter & butter chicken were delicious…

The garlic naan was dry & could have been better!

Service was good & ambience is decent..“

“I ordered out and had a great experience. I was greeted by multiple friendly staff members, and provided my order promptly. The samosas were high quality and filled to perfection, the naan was the perfect compliment to the entree, and the butter chicken was so flavorful. You can also adjust spice level on other dishes. Definitely coming back again!“

“Wonderful, classy yet casual experience! Delicious!!!“

“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.“

“The best food in the world so good biryani. My brother loved the saffron samosa it was great although the girl in service could help us a little less because I was just about to give her like 100 dollar tip cuz she was just toooooo good overall idk if u haven’t tried this then just know you’re missing out on Al Lott“

“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.“

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

“So good. Delicious, tasty and all kinds of yummy. Everybody at the restaurant was so nice and generous. I highly recommend this place. We come to the area once a year from Canada and I think we’ll have to make this an annual dinner.“

“This is hands down my absolute favorite restaurant in the entire area! The secret to their incredible success is Chef Pramod—his talent and execution are unmatched.
​The Indian fusion menu is brilliant from start to finish. You absolutely must try their fusion drinks; my personal favorites are the Mango Mastani, the Paan drink, and the Guava Rum Punch.
​For food, start with the Bao (both the paneer and fried chicken options are incredible) and the Street Noodles. For the main course, their Thali is a must-try, offering a perfect variety, and you cannot leave without ordering the Lamb Biryani—the baby goat meat is unbelievably tender and packed with flavor.
​Save room for dessert! The Sticky Date Pudding with ice cream is phenomenal, and their Mango and Pistachio Kulfis are the perfect authentic finish. Every single dish is a hit. Highly, highly recommended!“

“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!“

“I had an amazing experience at this pure vegetarian Indian restaurant. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and outstanding customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic Indian flavors and a wide variety of vegetarian dishes to choose from. Every item was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and perfect for enjoying a relaxing meal with family or friends. I especially appreciated the care and attention the staff gave to every customer, making everyone feel valued and comfortable. The quality of the food, combined with the exceptional hospitality, made this a memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious pure vegetarian Indian cuisine and excellent service. I will definitely be returning again soon to try more of their amazing dishes.“

“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.“

“This is the absolute BEST Indian cuisine in the Midwest. They’ve been in business for 30 years, and you can taste it in the flavors of their recipes. My husband and I are regulars here…the consistency of quality and taste, along with great attention to detail and customer service keeps us going back often!“

“Awesome food, the staff was very kind and considerate of dietary restrictions (allergies), and the service was great as well. Highly recommend the paneer tikka kebab, which was suggested to me by the staff!

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options at this restaurant, an entire section of the menu is devoted to vegetarian food. I personally had paper dosa and paneer tikka, both of which are vegetarian.

Dietary restrictions: I have nut and sesame allergies, and the staff was very considerate of these issues.“

“shahi biryani-bolingbrook. no mirchi no namak , ordered today goat biryani family pack and kadai chicken. it looks there is difference in glendale heights and bolingbrook. biryani should be little more spicy but it was not.“

“Delicious, fresh, and fast! Lots of vegetarian/ vegan options and fantastic value!“

“Oh my goodness, YUM!!! If you want delicious authentic food, huge portions, and a great deal on price?!? This is the place to go. I had 3 meals out of one plate. There was so much flavor! If I’m ever back in the area, this is the place I’ll be going to again.“

“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.“

“Excellent taste!“
