“Three of us went on a weekday evening, & noticed only 1 other couple. Clean place, courteous staff, & delicious food in large quantity.”
“I enjoyed the food here — the flavors are genuinely tasty and well prepared. The place has good potential and the dishes feel fresh. However, the portion sizes are a bit small for the price, and the order processing can be quite slow. Still, the quality of the food makes it worth trying, and I hope they improve the speed and quantity because the taste is definitely on point.”
“We had my son’s first birthday party at Chowrastha Spice House with around 100 people and had such a great experience. From the tasting itself, we knew the food was going to be amazing. Everything on the party day was clean, and well organized. I will not rate a single dish served that day as average, as all of them were EXCELLENT ( close to 20 items). They were also very flexible and let us decorate the place the way we wanted. What I appreciated most was how genuine and caring they were — not money minded at all and truly focused on making customers happy. Chef Mohan and his wife were both so kind and helpful, even paying attention to small details throughout the event. Definitely recommend this place for private parties and casual dine in.”
“Had a wonderful dining experience here! The food was absolutely delicious. I tried the chicken tandoori and mutton curry with naan, and every bite was packed with rich, authentic flavors. The tandoori chicken was perfectly cooked—juicy and well-spiced—and the mutton curry was tender with a deep, aromatic gravy. The naan paired beautifully with the curry. Overall, the taste and quality of the food were excellent. Highly recommended for anyone craving great Indian food!”
“Hands down, the best tandoori chicken I have ever had in my life. The flavors were incredible, and it was cooked to perfection. Even as a takeout order, the quality was top-tier. To the team: keep up the amazing work—you’ve definitely gained a regular customer!”
“Один из самых вкусных Бириани 🔥🔥 рекомендую!) лентил суп шикарный масала чай ❤️”
“I recently tried the paneer biryani from Red Tomatoes, and it was absolutely outstanding. From the first bite, it was clear that this dish was prepared with care and authenticity. The basmati rice was perfectly cooked. The paneer was soft, fresh, and generously portioned, absorbing the flavors of the masala without losing its texture. What truly stood out was the balance of spices. Flavorful and aromatic without being overpowering. The onions, herbs, and subtle ghee notes brought everything together into a well-layered, satisfying meal. As a vegetarian, it’s rare to find a paneer biryani that truly rivals non-veg versions, but this one absolutely does. If you’re looking for authentic, hearty, and soul-satisfying biryani in Illinois, this paneer biryani is a must-try. Highly recommended!”
“The service was wonderful and the food was really tasty. We ordered more than usual because of the great value and all of it was quality made. The naan was perfect, flaky and bready. We will be coming back!!”
“The food was absolutely divine. The best Indian food we have had in the US. The food was extremely flavorful, it arrived in a timely manner, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend!”
“Waitress was very attentive. Was transparent with explaining any questions I had. The chef came out after dinner and asked about my food and if everything came out the way I wanted. This restaurant is a hidden gem and they went above and beyond.”
“The food was absolutely awesome, the service was excellent, the drinks were strong!!! very good place to get a really nice dinner!! The cook is absolutely phenomenal!!! the chicken was done perfect it was so tender you could cut it with your eyeballs!!”
