Indian Garden - West Rogers Park

South Indian places are not as common in America so if you're less familiar with Indian food, make sure to get the South Indian dishes featured in the menu...

What a disaster. I hate to use time to leave a negative review. I'll start with the positives: they have no problem checking for COVID vaccination cards...

I absolutely love the food at this restaurant! the staff are very welcoming and polite; the service is good and the decor is pretty too. The Indian Garden is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago and I highly recommend it ; my favorite is the veggie Biryani with the potato and pea somosas.

Where to start? I never write reviews. But this one, I must. I allowed myself some time to be fair and let the whole experience settle. All I have to say it that it was one of the most sad experiences I had in a restaurant. First, the lady comes to seat us and have to carry two child seats herself and the boys watching. She waited for help and it was a little weirdness and waiting to be seated. The place was empty. Then, a guy in suit comes and do small talk, I ask for assistance with menu as to feed a toddler. I am scared of the spices and the heat of the food. He makes a suggestion, we take it. The food comes and besides being was below average, did not have any meet in it, and it had red pepper blended in it. The bread burnt and not fresh. And the other dish was disgusting. It seemed to be made days before and was bitter. To make matters worse, the guy who was serving us had the dirtiest hands I ever seen for a person around a table, don't mention he was serving us. The guy clearly did not know what he was doing, he had open sores in each and every joint of his fingers as if he had a feast fight. On top of it he was drunk, he had it in his breath and in his ability to speak. And the guy in the suit came to get the bill and the check. I left with my family hungry and really disappointed with the whole thing. This people should be taken out of business. I was disgusted and wondering how it was behind that kitchen. The price was high too. We go to an excellent place by Devon and Cumberland and is much cheaper. This place does not deserve to be open.

I vsited this place a week ago. All staff members were very proudy. After placing the order no one came back to ask us . Do we need any thing? No I will never recomend this plce to any person.

Recently on Saturday I went for luch but the food and its quality was terrible. They had gajar ka halwa and kheer which was feeling like they just took out of refrigerator. Not heated well and when we complained it (I think she was owner) she replied with attitude by saying that today no one complained us about the taste of food and quality. After long time I went to Indian restaurant for lunch and had such bad experience.

I've been here twice now in the past few months, and was pleased both times with the food, except for one dry chicken dish that was lacking any moisture and had very little flavor. Only a few things may distract from a pleasant dining experience - the synthesizer player who plays american/english songs sometimes, and the plastic tablecloths, which stick to the cups and plates and make them difficult to move. Other than those things, I would recommend this restaurant to any who wish to experience indian food in a clean, reliable setting.
