India House Restaurant Chicago

“It was love at first naan.”

It was love at first naan! They brought out the garlic naan and a tomato-based dip to start as a free appetizer. This was promptly followed by a delicious chicken vindaloo and stuffed cheesy naan, both of which were super tasty too! Everything we ate was quite delicious, and I would also want to try their lunch buffet next time too. The servers were also quite nice, checking in every now and then - definitely recommend for your next fix of Indian food in Chicago!

I’ve been coming to India House for a while now, ever since my bike courier days when this place was always buzzing with energy. I still haven’t managed to catch the buffet — and it drives me crazy every time, because good buffets are hard to find in Chicago! But honestly, I’d recommend this place to anyone who wants to try amazing Indian cuisine. It’s always such a treat!

“Really good food, friendly service and reasonably priced.”

Really good food, friendly service and reasonably priced. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and entrees, and all of them were really good. I especially enjoyed the cauliflower from the appetizer section and chicken tika masala. The samosas and dal were great too. Highly recommended.

“This is a really great Indian Restaurant in Downtown Chicago.”

This is a really great Indian Restaurant in Downtown Chicago. I enjoyed all the dishes, especially the main course - aloo gobi. They were able to cater my request for jain option. Special call out to Roza here - she’s polite and professional. So glad I came here.

Very good. Would go back. Feel it should have 4.5 stars, but giving 5. We had TANDOORI PESH KUSH - but with 3 types of chicken, including Reshmi chicken, which I liked best. PAPDI CHAT - not my favorite. We make this at home better. ALOO TIKKI - Liked a lot. A sweet and savory. Yum. My friends didn’t love it, but I thought it was good Hyderbadi chicken- SUPER TASTY! DAL MAKHANI - Ok KADHAI PANEER - very tasty OKRA MASALA - Delicious GARLIC NANN - Outstandingly fluffy!! PARATA - meh. Overall, really a good meal. And the service was great. As a headache sensitive person, I didn’t like their modern light fixtures with exposed bulbs, but really, that’s just a me thing.

The food was exceptional; we ordered the lamb biryani and the chili noodles, both flavorful and well-spiced with that Indo-Chinese twist. The portions were generous and the lamb was tender. The only downside was the slow service; it took quite a while for our food to come out, even though the restaurant wasn’t packed. Still, the quality of the food made it worth the wait. Would definitely come back, but hopefully with a bit quicker turnaround next time.

Spectacular atmosphere, service, and food. The next time I am in Chicago for work I will make sure to stop here and bring clients. The waitress was incredibly professional even the bus boy who just started today was very helpful!

“Fantastic Indian buffet in the heart of Chicago.”

Fantastic Indian buffet in the heart of Chicago! ❤️ 🍝🍲🥗🍛🍚🍱🍧🍨🥂🍻 The buffet is truly impressive with a great balance of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. We started with masala dosa and hot sambhar, plus aaloo samosa paired with fresh mint and tamarind chutneys — perfect starters. There’s a great variety of salads, and the main courses were just as satisfying — loved the dal makhni, dry potato vegetable, and especially the paneer makhni. The tandoori chicken is served hot at the buffet with naan and butter, which was a standout. Don't miss the sides like raita, and for dessert, the fresh mango ice cream, rasmalai, and gulab jamun were heavenly. The service was attentive, the food fresh and flavorful, and the overall vibe very welcoming. Will definitely be coming back! The staff were courteous and attentive, always making sure everything was stocked and guests were comfortable. The management clearly takes pride in maintaining high quality — from the freshness of the food to the cleanliness of the space. You can really feel the hospitality throughout the experience. We had a wonderful experience! The entire team is attentive and genuinely cares about your dining needs. Rosa, in particular, was incredibly helpful and always ready to assist. The food was absolutely delicious—especially the lunch buffet, which was full of mouthwatering options. What truly stood out, though, was the personal touch and warmth shown by the team. It made the experience feel special and memorable! This was our 5th time dining at The INDIA HOUSE during our week-long staycation in Chicago — and we absolutely loved it every single time! Among all the Indian restaurants in downtown Chicago, this one truly stands out. The food, service, and overall experience are consistently exceptional. Highly recommended!

“Had an amazing experience at India House Restaurant in Chicago.”

Had an amazing experience at India House Restaurant in Chicago! Mohit and Swati were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious - every bite was flavorful and satisfying. What really impressed us was the flexibility and accommodation shown by the staff. We arrived around 3:00 pm, just before closing time, but they still kindly allowed us to dine in. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Highly recommend India House Restaurant for authentic Indian cuisine and exceptional service. We'll definitely be back!
