Tandoori Restaurant — straightforward indian in Des Plaines. Nothing here has been watered down. "Tender, juicy meat bathed in a thick, perfectly spiced gravy that had us wiping our plates clean with fresh" — Shahul Hameed Shaik [$]

🌱Vegan & vegetarian friendly — real options, not one sad pasta.

Had a wonderful lunch at Tandoori Restaurant today. We ordered the mutton biryani and palak chicken, and both dishes were excellent. The mutton biryani was flavorful, aromatic, and perfectly cooked, while the palak chicken was rich, delicious, and well-seasoned. The food was fresh, the portions were generous, and the overall dining experience was very enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic and tasty South Asian cuisine. Will definitely visit again! 🍽️😊

I ate more than $100. The customer service was not right. I am not happy at all and I regret spending my money on food.

Irani Chai is the best. When I first tasted it, I recalled all the past memories of drinking Chai at various spots in Hyderabad with friends and family.

Tried a chickpea dish, veggie samosas, garlic naan and the chicken wrap earlier in the week. First time trying this restaurant. It was so flavorful and not the typical white people food I normally get to eat that now tastes very bland in comparison. Long story short, I went back today and ordered twice as much so I can nosh on it all weekend. The portions are great for the price and you can tell the quality is exemplary. They have halal and other food safety and quality certificates on the wall, so they are also very transparent about ingredients and sourcing, which is a plus. This is going to be my new go-to place for South Asian faire.
