    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

    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.

The broccoli was fabulous- super crispy with a flavourful peanut sauce. It was definitely the highlight of our meal. The volcano roll was a mountain of salty mayonaisse heaped on top of relatively good sushi. The overall effect was not altogether pleasant. The avocado beetroot tartare was quite good but nothing exceptional. The steamed boy choy was done very well, with a lovely soy ginger sesame sauce that paired beautifully with it. The chilli crab noodles were near inedible: very little flavour and basically floating in oil. The brownie and ice cream were good. Service was decent, and the food came out super fast. We sat outside, and enjoyed people-watching more than the meal itself. In sum, we will not return. I am vegetarian, and was super excited about going to an all-vegan sushi place, but was left quite disappointed. My pescatarian dining partner was also similarly unimpressed.

My main grudge on this night was the pour of sparkling wine (brut). Champagne flutes are typically six ounces. A standard pour of wine is five ounces. That means a pour of sparkling wine should stop about 1 inch from the rim of the glass*. Not so this time. I thought the bartender had emptied the bottle and was going to continue his pour with a new bottle, but no - that was not the case (I was seated at the bar.) I had gotten only about 3 out of 5 ounces of a $16 glass of wine. Not cool since every patron is charged an automatic 20% hospitality surcharge per check. (It looked more like a pour for a toast at a wedding!) Other than this major lapse in bartending etiquette - and yes, I considered saying something at the time but did not, hence, this review - my meal was fine (with the exception of the onion tart - not what I expected an onion tart to be: go with the crab cake!). *Note: I have worked part-time in F&B from 1994 to 2024 in all manner of restaurants/catering/country clubs, etc., including as a BASSET certified bartender, so I know what a pour of wine should be (and look like) in a standard champagne flute!

Lincoln Ave., and between the menu and the name (yes, the elephant caught my attention), I knew I had to check it out. There's plenty of street parking in the area, I went on a Sunday, so meters were free. The interior is bright, green, and inviting, with lots of seating and great natural light coming in from the front windows. There's also outdoor seating, but it was a bit too cold the day we went, so we stayed inside. Service is counter-style, and the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. It's fairly simple, but still fun and satisfying. I ordered an Impossible burger, tater tots, and a strawberry almond milk smoothie. My friend got fries, so I was able to try both. After over 40 days without fried food, I was especially excited for the tots and they did not disappoint. Overall, the food was good and solid across the board. Nothing that completely blew me away, but definitely satisfying. If you're vegan or vegetarian and craving a classic burger experience, this is a great option. The smoothie was good as well, though I personally prefer fruit-forward smoothies with lighter juices, so the almond milk base wasn't quite my favorite, but it still complemented the meal nicely. Overall, if you're looking for a casual sit-down spot with a cute atmosphere and a solid Impossible burger at a reasonable price, Elephant + Vine is a great choice. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
