Indian Garden Restaurant — straightforward indian in Streeterville. It wears its years well. Flavors stay true to the source. M Zaibak: "The biryani was packed with tender lamb and loaded with herbs, the gravies were rich and creamy"

“My absolute favorite is their aloo gobi which is perfectly spiced and cooked just right”
Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience in Chicago during our 3 days of visit this Christmas.

“Amazing food and great service.”
Amazing food and great service! The shami kebab, rogan josh, and garlic naan were all packed with flavor. Truly satisfying meal — highly recommend! Ended the meal with gulab jamun.

“I really enjoyed being here.”
I really enjoyed being here. I tried the fish curry, roti, and the chef’s special chicken curry—and I was genuinely surprised by how good the curries were. The flavors were fantastic and reminded me of India. They also have buffet options everyday between 11 AM to 3 PM. If you’re in Chicago, especially downtown, don’t miss this place for authentic Indian vibes and taste. You’re going to love it. ❤️

“Had an amazing experience at Indian Garden.”
Had an amazing experience at Indian Garden! The staff were absolutely the best—very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The manager was also wonderful and made sure everything was perfect. We were celebrating a birthday, and they surprised us with a gajar ka halwa cake, and even played the birthday song. It made the celebration truly special. Everything was perfect, and the hospitality was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was great and the service was even better. Extremely polite and helpful staff. They accomodated all our requests. Made my birthday extra special. We had the mutton biryani, assorted appetizers and chicken tikka masala. They were all to die for!

“Indian Garden did not disappoint.”
Indian Garden did not disappoint. The service was amazing from start to finish: attentive and friendly. The food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. My absolute favorite is their aloo gobi which is perfectly spiced and cooked just right. The tandoori roti was fresh and hot straight off the tandoor. And for dessert the gulab jamun is a must! For drinks, the Mumbai Breeze was great. The pineapple margarita wasn’t my favorite (a bit too spicy for my taste) but still interesting. The atmosphere was on point, beautiful Indian decor with Indian music playing in the background. Total cozy desi vibes.

“Found Indian Garden Restaurant while looking for lunch in the city.”
Found Indian Garden Restaurant while looking for lunch in the city. They serve a very good Indian food buffet with many tasty varieties. Authentic flavors, fresh food, and plenty of options to choose from. Loved the sweet dosa, which was a great highlight. Located near Trump Tower in the main city area highly recommended.

“What an amazing place in the heart of Chicago city centre.”
What an amazing place in the heart of Chicago city centre. Mr Mishra and his team provided a welcoming and relaxing environment with brilliant atmosphere. Beautiful indian artifacts and non intrusive Indian music set the scene. The service was second to none and the flavours delicate and wholesome. Pure indulgence in an authentic experience outside of India. This will be my go to place whenever im in the city. And I will probably bring the entire crew along. Keep it up Mr Mishra

The calming ambiance, warm hospitality of the staff, and consistently perfectly executed food really truly makes this place our favorite place to go on the weekends. I recommend the dosa and buffet-our compliments to the chef. What a treat and blessing to have in downtown Chicago!

“An absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish.”
An absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and beautifully set—perfect for both a relaxed dinner or a special occasion. The service provided by K C Mishra was excellent: attentive, friendly, and professional without ever feeling rushed. The food was made to perfection—rich flavors, perfectly cooked, and clearly prepared with care and authenticity. Every dish exceeded expectations. This is hands down one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve visited, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

“The Indian Garden was an absolute gem—so glad we stopped in.”
The Indian Garden was an absolute gem—so glad we stopped in! The lunch buffet was delicious, with a great variety, and they even had a live cook on site making fresh dosas. The decorative presentation of the buffet was impressive, and the overall interior design created a beautiful, welcoming atmosphere. The comfortable bench seating along the window with pillows made it an especially relaxing place to enjoy lunch. KC Mishra provided out-of-this-world customer service—truly some of the best I’ve had in a long time. We’ll definitely be back!
