This place is a hidden gem, it's absolutely AMAZING. I found this place by accident, and am so glad I did... Everything I had was incredible. The staff is friendly and like the family I wish I had. The cook came out, and she was Soo sweet and kind, I found myself wishing she was my grandma. If you're in the area, stop here, try this, you won't be disappointed...I don't care if you don't like Indian, STOP, try this, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

From the looks of it this so called Indian restaurant in Winthrop Harbor may seem kind of sketchy, but it's actually pretty good Indian food. It's not an actual Indian restaurant though, because it's in a bar with a gaming area and it's only for takeout. Delhi Bistro has many of the basics. Everything from channa masala to tikka masala. The food has mostly a mild spice. After looking up places to eat, we came here. It was a bit confusing, because this wasn't like an Indian restaurant. This is more like a bar to be honest, with a gaming area in the next room with video slots. Also you could only do takeout for the food. It's about $12 for an entree, and we got the Channa Masala. Good flavor with a spice to it. The portions were pretty small for the high price. Come here if wanting Indian food to go. It's pretty authentic flavor with plenty of spice. The prices are pretty high for the portions it seems though. read more

Delhi Bistro - Channa Masala - Indian Near Me - Winthrop Harbor, Illinois

I have to say that this is unfortunately some of the most bland Indian food I've ever tasted. The chicken tikka masala is a small portion size, bland and not spicy at all, the sauce is watery and there is 0 spice to it. However, the rice is tasty and portion is big and comes with the entrees you order for free which is nice. The uber eats menu also needs to be updated - it lists things as available which are not actually available on specific days at the restaurants discretion. read more

Helll nah!!! Not sure if cultural difference but why are you addressing the man when I AM THE ONE PAYING AND TALKING TO YOU. This man tried to tell me what to order. No I know what i want. Out of the whole menu there were like 2 items available. Stale naan. Then charged me for the extra toppings THAT WERE INCLUDED in curry burrito bowl description. No mango Chutney and no raita. That's like going to a mex place and then charging you extra for each filling. The only thing edible here was the paratha which is frozen and warmed up. Aka not made by them. Such a fu@&ing disappointment . Oh and they said we couldn't eat there that is was carry out only but last minute said we could?? This is a bar and slot place by the way not a restaurant. read more

Gave it another change and it was way better. Had to been an off day last time. I will continue to order and enjoy.

Great home made North Indian food, fast service, clean place and hard working humble people.

The second best chicken tikka masala ever! My Punjabi moms is slightly better but oh my goodness bb

Saturday lunch was two orders of naan with garlic, an order of Delhi fries, I ordered the Indian burrito and my friend ordered chimichangas. The naan was great, although the Delhi fries are just fries made in house style, fried and then baked with mozzarella and bacon. I would be really interested in a seasoned fry. Still good fries, but nothing special for the name. My Indian burrito was well constructed, filled with Indian influenced flavors; fresh onion and cilantro provide a refreshing flavor after the strong, rich flavors of the chicken tikka masala. The rice and beans were flavorful as well. I found the portions fair for the price as well. Service was attentive, wait times were very reasonable. I will be returning to try more of the dishes. read more

We walked 2.5 miles to eat here, because we really wanted to try Indian food in Illinois (we're from California). We were pleasantly surprised by how good it was!! Although it wasn't as spicy as we would have preferred, the flavor really stood out and it made up. I came with my parents and together we got Chicken Tikka Masala, Kalli Dal, and Saag with garlic naan and raita. The portion sizes were good, we had a bit leftover but we took it to go. Prices are reasonable and the service was very welcoming and friendly. read more

Very good Indian food! But the star of the show was their lychee dessert. One of a kind and delicious! Even if I know it's from a tin can!

This place is amazing. The service is friendly and she makes things from scratch. If you're vegetarian this is a great place too. I didn't have much time for lunch and she brought out the food in five minutes!!! It's very very good. read more

This is by far the BEST Indian restaurant I have been to. The staff is so nice, friendly and warm and the food is very tasty. If you are looking for authentic Indian food, this is it. The food reminds me of my home back in India because my mom cooks like this. I come here everytime in IL. Love it! Love it! Love it! read more

I love this place! Such a great place to eat dinner! Quiet ambiance, authentic, homemade meals! The staff is always helpful if you are new to Indian food and the servings are filling with mostly vegetarian options!! I always get the Chili Paneer Samosas as an appetizer, so yummy with a little spice! I normally order the Pratha (a flaky flatbread that melts in your mouth) to pair with any dish. With not a ton of variety for food in Winthrop Harbor this restaurant is an amazing choice for something different and delicious! read more

The curbside is a lie. Asked them over the phone for curbside, they said sure, go through a long ordering process involving three people. At the end I asked again for curbside and they said yes. So I told them I was ready with my credit card. "Oh no, honey, you have to come in." "But the whole reason I called is because you say you do curbside? How do I pay?" "Just come in, you'll be okay." Even says "curbside and take out" on three signs on the front of their building. WTF. read more

Excellent Indian food! We had the palaak Paneer and Baigan ka bharta (egg plant). Will be back soon!! The daughter of chef was extremely nice! She spent time to talk with us and explained the menu, etc. Highly recommend! read more

We've been craving good Indian food for years since leaving New York City in 2013. This is easily the best and most authentic we've had since then. The staff is also incredibly friendly and attentive. read more

The food here is amazing. We had the cocktail samosas, an appetizer special, and the paneer masala. Every bite was sublime, start to finish. We also had the chai masala, and it was the best chai masala I've ever had in an Indian restaurant. The family that runs this was warm and welcoming. We'll be back! read more

It'll pass as Indian if you're desperate for some spicy food close to home and you live in the area. The Indian menu is very limited. Samosas were delicious- small bits of seasoned potato wrapped in light flaky dough and served with a very tasty hot sauce. Daal Makhani was not bad, but not great either. Entrees come with a side of "Indian" rice- which was a lot more like Chinese fried rice and Indian to be honest, just because it wasn't quite as flaky as the rice in traditional Indian restaurants. The Raj Ma I wasn't a fan of, the flavor of it was much more Mexican than Indian. Naan was great- naan is always great. What really killed it was the slot machines in the back, which aren't on mute, so if you're unlucky, you'll get to hear the "ching" of slot machines all night long. read more

The food was so good and the people are really sweet! I'd definitely go back and recommend it to others.

Very good food and excellent service. Family owned and worked. Grandmas recipes but she is a vegetarian so only 2 chicken meals. Which was fine with us because whatever the service recommended was delicious! I had a headache and asked for any type of hot tea with caffeine but they didn't have any but he's grandma made me some special tea and it was delicious as well! read more

The staff is very friendly and helpful! This was my first Indian restaurant and with the helpful suggestion from the staff and the amazing cook who came out to see how the food tasted. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone! I will be coming here again for their delicious food. read more

We enjoyed the food and had the opportunity to meet the owner. Family-operated business, very nice people. We had samosas made for a party we attended recently and they were the first thing eaten by the guests. Prices are a little high for a lunch experience but the same menu is available for evening dining so it makes sense that the prices are the same - overall, it's not very expensive. The dishes are authentic Indian so if you want the real deal, good service and to support a local business, I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This is a great dinner spot. In town for medical treatment and the people made us feel totally welcomed. Spent time with us figuring out what was mild enough for my dad to eat. We'll be back for sure. The food was on point, as was the rice pudding. read more

We were in the Zion area and were feeling hungry. I was in the mood for a good burger and was anxious to try a new place as my go to placea are all in Kenosha County. I checked out the reviews of Delhi Belly which were mostly very favorable. We walked in(was a Sunday afternoon,) and were greeted by a lovely Indian woman. She said they only serve Indian food now, as the chef who prepared the Mexican had to move. She said in a very heavy Indian accent "I'm Indian, I cook and serve Indian food." She asked us to look at the menu and if we saw something we like she would prepare it fresh for us, but would take a bit of time. We were not in a rush so we chose to stay and order. The restaurant is closed on Sunday but has to keep the door open for access to the next door business. But she said very kindly, "if you want to eat, I can not say no. I like to cook, but not work the bar!" We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Indian burrito, 2 kinds of Naan and Raita. All were so delicious! The burrito was large, filled with chicken, rice pilaf, vegetables delicious spices. I added the Raita with each bite. Amazing! Dave loved his Masala also. Excellent food, prices and service. We'll be back! The owner also gave us a sampling of her rice pudding and homemade ice cream. Delicious ice cream is made with pistachio and saffron. Yum! read more

Food was delicious! Had the garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, roasted eggplant and a great chickpea dish! The rice pudding was good too :) what stood out the most was the incredibly warm and friendly service! We will definitely be back read more

If you're looking for Indian food, keep driving on by this place. I was skeptical when i walked in this place and my gut feeling was right. Their Tex-Mex may be good, personally I don't know, but this is a sad excuse for Indian food. The staff is friendly though. Again don't base Indian food off of this place and if you like Indian food, save your money and look elsewhere. read more

Stopped here for lunch because we had a taste for some Mexican food. What a delightful surprise this turned out to be. We started with a couple of traditional margaritas that were totally satisfying. They would be proudly served in any restaurant in downtown Chicago but at half the price. We then ordered the taco party for two. The table was filled with all the fixings for 8 tacos made with steak and chicken. That along with the sides of rice and beans was enough to feed at least 6 people. This place is a real gem. Friendly staff and great food. I can't wait to come back and try their dinner menu. The boating season is starting so we were in the neighborhood last night. We ordered the taco party for 2 again and were not disappointed. In fact, it was better than before if that's possible. What a great spot for Mexican and (we're told) Indian food. Stop by, say "hi" to grandma and grandpa as well as Raghy. Have one of her specialty margaritas. read more

Love this place! Family owned. Intimate atmosphere. Great food and drinks. Always ask for recommendations and off-menu items!

Sarina was so nice! We loved the music and we were treated so good. I've had Indian cuisine before but this raises the bar for me. The seasoning/spices were out of this world. The food is prepared fresh so be patient it is worth it. I recommend this to anyone wanting to treat themselves. What are you waiting for? Go here! For us it was well worth the half hour drive. read more
