Wow, what a culinary journey at Chicago Indian Curry Restaurant! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere. The food, oh the food! It was a symphony of flavors, with each dish more delightful than the last.The appetizers were a great start, with the Masala Papad being a standout. Crisp, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, it set the tone for the rest of the meal. The Veg Samosa was decent, but didn't quite live up to the papad's standard.But then, the entrees arrived, and it was a whole new level of deliciousness. The Navratna Korma was a masterpiece - rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. The Daal Fry was equally impressive, with perfectly cooked lentils and a depth of flavor that left me wanting more.Unfortunately, the Butter Chicken didn't quite hit the mark. It was a bit too sweet and lacking in the rich, buttery flavor I've come to expect from this dish.But the breads, oh the breads! The Butter Naan was fluffy, lightly buttered, and perfect for sopping up all the sauces. The Laccha Paratha was crispy, flaky, and utterly addictive.And then, the piece de resistance - a complimentary Mango Dessert that was the perfect sweet treat to end
I don’t usually leave Google reviews but I had to for this one. One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve tried in Chicago. Their curry was authentic, fragrant and flavourful. Naan was fabulous and I can only say that’s the best I’ve ever tried (bear in mind I grow up enjoying Indian cuisines)! Do try out their mango lassi if you are a fan of rich consistency with a fruity taste. Would definitely recommend and come back.

Second time coming here. Brought my mother for a surprise brunch on a Sunday. The food is amazing. Everything is delicious. Faves are the goat curry, tandoori chicken, chilli chicken, and the paneer. 10/10 will definitely be coming back.
This spot has a homely neighborhood vibe in a corner away from the main road in south loop. We came in for the lunch buffet on Sunday and tried many delicious dish. The buffet seems small at first but it’s packed with options and the host will fresh naan to your table and refill them during your meal. Our favorite are:- Goat curry (tender falling off the bone goat in curry with a spicy kick)- Chili chicken ( fried piece of chicken stir fried with pepper and chilies)- Butter chicken (creamy and perfect to go with some naan)- Tandoori chicken (some pieces were dry but I had a moist piece with smoky flavor like it’s fresh off the grill)- Saag paneer (creamy vegetarian option)- Mint chutneyWe also tried mango lassi which is not included in the buffet but it’s rich and sweet and worth a try. The cold options and dessert options are definitely not their strength. And everything is tightly packed so the buffet gets messy after each use (sauce sticks on the handle, spills outside of the pan). The four of us were sat in a booth and I don’t recommend this since it’s very cramped and the tables were shaky. Regardless the food is amazing and definitely worth a try, especially given their soft price of $19.95 per person!

This is my second time coming to this place and it was just as delicious as the first time. All you can eat weekend lunch buffet for only 20$ per person. The quality is excellent, the manager is very friendly and helpful, and it's always super clean. They play a lot of electronica music over the speakers which I enjoy. Some highlights- The tandoori chicken 1000/10 some of the best bbq chicken I've had in my entire life. It's worth coming back just for this. It's so juicy and flavorful, I could eat a whole plate of just this. The chilli chicken 10/10 its super spicy and the texture is lovely, definitely a highlight. The naan are absolutely perfect. The butter chicken is rich and warm. The vegetable pakora are crispy and perfectly seasoned. Even the goat curry was excellent and I didn't think I would like goat! Literally the only thing that could make this place better is a couple more dessert options and I dont even know if I could eat them because Im so full from everything else lol.
Great Indian food. The place has a nice atmosphere and great food. Loved the Naan.
