    On my recent first visit to Indian Paradise, I liked it. My family and I met some friends here for a Sunday afternoon lunch. Reservations are accepted, so we made one just in case if they were busy for a walk-in visit. The restaurant is located on North Ave., in a busy area and available parking is on the streets (I am not familiar with any parking garage or lots in the vicinity). The restaurant was clean, nicely decorated, and the ambiance was good. It's a no-frills or gimmicks, family-friendly restaurant. Their menu has a nice variety of options to choose from and for a Chicago-based restaurant, their pricing is relatively reasonable. We ordered some appetizers along with our entrées. We got Chili Chicken and Chicken Tikka to start and Butter Paneer Masala, Lamb Rogan Josh, Garlic Naan, Spicy Naan, and Tandoor Roti as our entrées. There was one big group dining in besides us. The staff was busy bringing out their dishes. Our food took a bit longer than expected to arrive but it wasn't a bad wait time or anything. The food was freshly prepared. I went for the Chili Chicken as that's what I had ordered as my appetizer. It was spicy and flavorful albeit a bit salty as well. There was a Raita (liquid yogurt dipping sauce) to go with the chili chicken that was helpful for those who didn't like the heat of the dish. It was a decent dish. The Chicken Tikka app dish was just so-so at best. It too was a bit salty. It had a green chutney with it which was pretty good. My favorite dish was the Lamb Rogan Josh. This curry dish was quite flavorful. It had a nice dark color, and was spicy. The Lamb pieces were tender. The Butter Paneer Masala was decent. The Naan and the Tandoori Roti were thin and crisp. There was complimentary basmati rice provided as well. The portion size of all the food was good. We received good service. The staff members were friendly and helpful. We had a good experience here, overall. Check them out.

    This pick was a winner! I got lamb korma. Tender chunks of lamb in a rich and creamy sauce with a mild kick. The garlic naan came in handy to sop up the sauce. I ate it all. Donna had kadai chicken. "It was yummy." Such a wordsmith. Just strong, rich flavors with more spice than mine. Service was friendly and attentive. Maybe a 15 minute walk from our new home. We will be back!

    So, I really wanted to like this place. It's hella cute! I loved the onion pakora, BUT it was hair in my food. I was pretty blown after that. Can't really say how the chicken tikka masala tasted after that. The naan was cool though. Zoom into the pics. SMH. So annoying. Glad I don't I live in Chicago.

    Finally tried Indian Paradise! Craving some Biriyani we ordered the lamb biriyani, gobi Manchurian, and palak paneer for takeout. Everything was packed well, was a good portion, and they were quick to make our order. Now for the food, The Gobi Manchurian was delicious and was our favorite item! The lamb biriyani was solid and definitely curbed my craving. However, I didn't care for the texture of the yogurt (was gooey). The palak paneer was ok in my opinion, I think I just prefer my palak paneer on the creamier side.That being said I'll definitely be back to try the other curries! My partner picked up the food so I can't comment on the ambiance, so I will have to follow up on my review once I dine in!

    Food and service was great. Authentic service, food and ambience. lamb madras surprised me w its depth of flavor and tenderness. Love the paneer, shoutout chicken spinach korma (secret weapon) get the naan. Duh

    I ordered the Garlic Naan, basmati rice, and Lamb Curry. The garlic Naan was definitely the best Naan I have ever had. The Lamb Curry was delicious and spicy Our waitress was very soft spoken and so we had trouble hearing her. Pretty casual environment with authentic Indian food. They don't serve alcohol here, but apparently it is byob. Will definitely bring a bottle of wine next time!

    I'm feeling hungry just looking back at the photos of the food here at Indian Paradise. Everything was well-portioned, especially the lamb biryani. Here's what we ordered: Chicken Tikka Masala: So good and buttery. I have to come back for this! Palak Paneer: Very flavorful, and I love the generous amount of cottage cheese in there. Every bite tasted amazing. Garlic Naan: Mandatory to pair with the main dishes, no complaints. Lamb Biryani: HUGE. We definitely overordered as it was way too much food for 2 people. Loved this too. Crispy Onion Pakora: On the house! I've never tried this dish, and it was a pleasant surprise from the owners. Loved how crispy and airy this was--definitely a great appetizer. Most definitely will come back for the great food, generous portions, and personable owners!

    A great experience. The waiter was very kind and accommodating. The appetizer was fresh and flavorful. The curry was so good as well. They have a good variety of South indian dishes, which is very noteworthy. Large portion sizes and a welcoming ambiance in the wicker park neighborhood. Highly recommend this place

    110. Chicken Tikka
    Prashmi K.

    Mango chicken- 3/5 (too sour for my liking, won't order again) Chicken tikka- 4.5/5 (delicious)

    Samosa

    Best Indian I've experienced. Sag paneer spiced to perfection and melted in my mouth. Vegetable samosa simple yet tasty and fried to order.

    We came here on a pastry and dumpling crawl. What a wonderful way to start off the food tour! We had Keema samosa and Veg samosa here. It came with the usual fresh chutneys. The samosa were nicely seasoned and fried perfectly. Would highly recommend!

    Delectable. Let's just start there! Located in wicker park on the corner of north Ave sits this beautiful Indian establishment. They have a spacious indoor ambiance to fit you and your friends. It was Incredibly empty around 6:30 when I arrived which we didn't expect. But hey more room for us!. My mentor and I chose to order an appetizer of vegetable samosas which are huge and super filling. For the entrees, you should know it is A la carte so rices and naans are to be ordered in addition should you choose to indulge. We ordered the palak paneer, navaratan korma, lamb roganash, plain basmati rice and tandoori roti. There is no best dish - they are all phenomenal and highly recommended to try. They are huge enough to share. My favorite of each dish are the sauce. This establishment does an incredible job of stewing and seasoning it. This is authentic and not a rushed job. I will be returning and order other entrees and try new items.

    we got really lucky and was able to get a reservation same day. this place had a really nice vibe…read moreto it, it was really loud but love the open kitchen concept. the servers attention was a 10/10 it felt like a really good team. our water cups never got below half full and they clear plates and replace silverware like a high end restaurant. we started off with the salmon poke which we were skeptical of because of the price but omg we were blown away by the flavors. didn't think chili crunch and strawberry and salmon went together but it all tasted so good like a harmony in your mouth. the quality of salmon was good too. the goat empanadas were really tasty too, was a good dish nothing to stand out about them. it didn't really taste like goat which is good to me. and the pork shank was a huge portion. we were worried with the first two dishes we didn't order enough for two people but it was such a big portion it was the perfect amount of food for two people. we loved the different sides and sauces that came with it. the meat by itself was good but when you combine it with the greens pickled onion the sauce the pita it was soooo good. everything just worked really well together. we left the plate with no crumbs. really good meal. no complaints :)

    Background on me- I've worked in the food industry at low and high levels, eaten in many countries…read more Started from the bottom type of person- anyway I don't leave reviews. My experience went exactly like this. Imagine going to a movie, one of the better movies you've ever seen. You paid a premium to see this film ahead of time. 30 min in they begin to fast forward, skip scenes, turn the lights on and begin clean up. What I mean is on my engagement night, after a long long day I took my foodie wife to be out for a $300 "experience" which is really just sitting in front of the dessert station next to the expo area. So the food was ok- for all the knowledge ZERO cuts of quality meat. A little goat on a stick and a little tuna poke- the rest veggies which whatever is fine I'm just saying. I spent another $75 on drinks. OpenTable allowed me to book this at 1030pm the restaurant closes at 11pm I was upset and management would not come over and say hi or comp a drink. What restaurant would you be able to call and book a 6 course dinner experience 30min before close? Because it's an app you can hide behind the fact I should be looking at when you close to not book it? Managers profited $300 off me can't comp a drink on our engagement? I had a lovely time, the food wasn't bad, some interesting, service was ok, chefs stoners waiting to get off work. I get it. It's probably worth it but do not hit the last time or they act like you are keeping them late- which we did. I'd never book an experience 30min before close if I put it together. A cheap way for an app and restaurant to squeeze hard earned money out of peoples pockets is what I saw. Cheers

Mezza [Combo platter including Baba Ghanoush, Hummus, Ta'ameya(falafel), Tabboula(salad): Our favorite was the Banana Ghanoush, as it was one of the most flavorful baba ghanoush I have had and contained a very good char. The hummus was a little more on the sour side, and the texture of the salad was refreshing. The bread was also made fresh and was refillable as well, which we appreciated. My friend liked the falafel, but I think it was a little too dry, and I wish they could increase the intensity of the spices to make it pop out more. The chili sauce helped a lot though. Cairo Platter (Kofta, Chicken, Beef): The Kofta is my favorite-seasoned, soft and tender. Out of the two times I got this, the chicken and the beef were not as moist/juicy-they were okay. Overall I wish they gave us more Kofta though, since there wasn't much of it, and the platter was on the pricier side. Shawarma Plate: The shawarma was tasty and the portions were good. I personally liked adding the chili sauce on top. Macorrona Bechamel: Our favorite dish. It tasted like Mac and cheese but the flavors are even more nuanced and complex. Very delicious and honestly we wished we ordered one per person . Overall I really like the restaurant, and I think some of the dishes were really well made, you just need to find them :). I hope the quality is more consistent as we will visit again.
