I've lived in Naperville for nearly three years, and as a vegetarian, I've tried several Indian restaurants--often driving farther out. I used to pass by Indian Harvest while shopping nearby, and one day I finally decided to give it a try. I started with their lunch special, and it was both affordable and generous--enough for lunch and dinner. When I later ordered dinner, the portions lasted even longer. That kind of value is rare. What truly stands out is the customer service. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and kindness. The staff makes you feel welcome, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting. Great food matters, but great service is what keeps you coming back--and they deliver both. Whether you dine in or order to-go, you won't be disappointed. This is definitely one of Naperville's best-kept secrets. Highly recommended, The Writter, Phyllis read more

Been coming here many times over the years with the family. Always great service and food quality has been consistent. Used the separated side room for larger family gatherings and it works out nicely. read more

Pretty decent for getting your typical basics - recommend taking advantage of the $12 meal combos on DoorDash if you're ordering out as you can get quite a bit of variety for great value. Got the meal box that came with chicken tikka masala, dal makhni, rice, and naan. Chicken tikka masala came with a decent amount of chicken and was rich and creamy. Favorite was the dal makhni. Spice levels are pretty tolerable and takeout service was really fast at opening no a weekday (12pm). Parking lot available and cute interior for dinging in. read more

I've been craving saag and my BFF and I made another visit to Indian Harvest. Since I love lamb, I did the lamb saag and it was just the right amount of heat and layers of flavors. We also had Dal Makhani, rice, and Naan. I slurged and got the carrot pudding; it's served warm and just melts with flavor on your tongue. Kudos for the outstanding and gracious staff and compliments to the lovely chef! She does fantastic work. Send kudos to the kitchen when the food is this tasty. read more

Had some really great Indian food at this long time local favorite. It certainly is the best such restaurant in Naperville. The Indian Harvest has been among the most popular around here for years. Okay prices considering quality which is among the best ever. You can get meaty or vegetarian options with plenty of great stuff. Came at lunch and we got a few drinks along with the food. It's got quite a menu. They have so much to choose from which makes it hard to know what to get really. Has some pretty great cocktails. It's about $12 which is kind of too much but they're good though. Best we had of these was the Indian Escape. This is made with Bacardi white rum, club soda, jaljeera spice mix, muddled mint, simple syrup, and tamarind. It's about $13 for the lunch samplers, which are weekdays at lunch. We each got a Vegan Sampler. Comes with quite a lot. Sambhar is the spicy soup. Comes with a choice of salad or samosa, and I got the samosa which was filled and fluffy. There's a chef's assortment of items, including eggplant, lentils, and potatoes. Comes with basmati or saffron rice, and with it being the same price why not get the saffron and be bougie. There's also bread including naan or roti. Fresh fruit to finish it off. This was certainly enough and we got stuffed. Certainly ate enough for the price to be quite a bargain. The rest of the menu offers a lot. Great place to get tons of this at lunch and the sampler gives you tons to things to choose from. It's closed Tuesdays. There's a whole ton of things for vegetarians. read more

The Indian Harvest - Indian Escape And The Vegan Sampler - Indian Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Freshly made, good service, portions on the smaller size... it's one of our go-to spot for Indian food in the Naperville area.

If you're looking for truly unforgettable Indian cuisine, Indian Harvest is worth going out of your way for--literally. I fly over 500 miles just to enjoy this food after moving out of state, and it never disappoints. The chicken biryani is packed with incredible flavor--perfectly spiced, aromatic, and deeply satisfying every single time. The lamb kabobs are tender, juicy, and expertly seasoned. And if you can't decide, the tandoori mixed grill is the way to go--it offers a delicious sampling of everything and showcases the kitchen's range beautifully. Beyond the food, the service is exceptional. The owners are genuinely warm and welcoming, making every visit feel special. They even take great care in packing my order so it travels well, which says a lot about their attention to detail and commitment to customers. This place isn't just a restaurant--it's a destination. read more

Overall I thought the food was just average. The naan was hot and fresh but could've used more garlic flavor. The chicken and curries were good, but nothing mind blowing. The filling of the samosas were my least favorite- the texture wasn't the greatest. Warning the lamb vindaloo is super spicy- very tender lamb but way too spicy for me (but the waitress did let me know it was spicy). The ambience and service were nice too. read more

Had a great dining experience! Came in for lunch with a friend on a weekday. We were seated right away and requested to sit outside on the patio. We both ordered the vegetarian lunch special that included a little bit of everything. It was a great way to try several dishes and was very affordable for such generous portions. I especially loved the samosa that had a little bit of heat and the veggie soup that was so flavorful. The staff was very nice and the service was great! Will definitely be back to try more from their extensive menu! read more

Food : eh. Not very authentic (in my limited experience of about 20 or so other places). Went with some basic choices, but when you order chicken and get some type of mystery meat (I'm guessing lamb), no bueno. 1/5 Service : good. Waitress made us order less naan than we wanted (ended up being for the best). We tried to order three pieces and she was like, "naw, you'll get 2 and order more if you want". Who am I to argue, right? 4/5 Ambiance : was like a mix of home in the wall with some shinnies on the wall. Not bad. 3/5 4/5 stars are rated on food with 1/5 stars based on ambiance and service. All in all, 1/4 for food, 1/1 for service and ambiance. read more

My coworker recommended this place for us and it was absolutely delicious. It was our first time trying this place and it was pretty darn good with a lot of food for lunch. I got the vegetarian lunch sampler and hubby got the meat sampler. He said the tandoori chicken leg was a bit dry but other than that it was very delicious. I loved everything on my place and the naan was so yummy and chewy. I listed the name of our dishes in the photo since I can't repeat what I had for the life of me. So look at the picture lol but it was good and reasonably priced and if we are ever in the area and we're craving Indian food, this will definitely be our place to visit. Our new favorite Indian restaurant! read more

Came here with my husband for a lunch date bc the Indian restaurant by us closed. I love their lunch special. Chai - we did not like this, the fragrance wasn't right for us Lamb samosas - so tasty and crunchy. I little salty for me but so good with the green sauce Nan - we got 3 pieces! And it was crispy and chewy Butter chicken - very creamy and flavorful Dal makhani - also very flavorful and so good with the saffron rice Goat - be careful of the bone pieces. This was a little salty for me but my husband loved it Tandoori chicken - so Smokey and had a kick! Vegetable soup - also pretty spicy but very tasty read more

Overall, the food is very good here. We came for both Mother's and Father's Day, and I appreciated that they had a special menu both times so we could try completely different items. Also, the server was very willing to provide feedback on items, where it was clear she wasn't trying to upsell us! While the location is a bit more intimate / tough for little kids, it's a really nice restaurant with a good variety of options! Would definitely check it out! read more

It's located close to where I live. It's a causal Indian buffet lunch and it's great. They have delicious tandoori chicken on served on a sizzle plate. Plenty of naan to go around. Their samosas are delicious and so are all their different curries. Service is amazing and I love dining in their establishments. read more

I came with friends here for dinner on a Saturday night. This restaurant is in a building in front of the Fresh Thyme strip mall, and has a bar and several separate areas for groups. All told, we ordered masala chai, saag paneer, Allahabadi aloo (boiled potatoes spiced with coriander and other spices), butter chicken, and naan with butter. The drinks came quickly, and if you like a more savory chai this was it (there was sugar to add in). It then took forever to get the meal, however. There was some event going on in the front room so perhaps staff was unbalanced, but we started looking at the clock because I had somewhere to be and we'd all come in one car. When the food finally came, it was very tasty (I especially liked the potatoes) but just know that you may be in for a leisurely meal, whether that's what you're planning on or not! read more

Sophisticated ambience, authentic Indian food, creative drinks, safe Covid protocols in place and super friendly service! This is what you call a perfect dining experience! I really love the extensive choices in their menu. We have a vegan & a vegetarian in our family so I love that they offer those choices as well. Some of our usual favorites are papri Chaat, paneer shaslik, Noor Malai tikka, Ghost chops, & their signature Orange Kulfi served in the orange shell! Just to die for! I love their fusion cocktails Lychee Bazaar & Masalarita! They are so delicious. If you are new to Indian cuisine or if you just want to try new dishes then definitely checkout their lunch specials! So much food & such variety for a very reasonable price! Can't wait to dine again at our favorite Indian restaurant in Naperville! read more

I forgot to take photos for the second time with my bf. We ordered something different from the first time. It's all chicken. First time the chicken was in some gravy sauce. Delicious! We also ordered a desert orange shaped ice cream. It's good but too much for usonly finish half. Second time we ordered some dry chicken. Mine is called Indian Harvest four decent pieces of tasty chicken. My bf ordered 4 pieces of chicken but came out with 8 pieces, served with rice and peas. We also ordered a garlic naan. Ended up in taking a lot home. oh, I also tried the Indian tea which is good. Will go back trying other dishes for sure! read more

I apologize for not writing down the name of the plates we tried, I'll revise them when I get them. The food was phenomenal! I mixed my yogurt with the sauce of the butter chicken and ate it with the rice and chicken... pure heaven. The garlic naan was so good. The tandoor chicken and eggplant was very good! I saved room for the desert and I didn't regret it. My desert is made with carrots and milk, I don't recall the name but I loved it! The pistachio ice cream went well with it. And that masala tea... perfect ending. The staff was great and served us well! Very relaxed vibe that made dinner enjoyable. Come visit the restaurant soon! read more

The Indian Harvest - Indian Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Met my work family here for a Saturday lunch. Most of us had not been here before and we were not sure what to expect. The restaurant is in a strip mall. If I wasn't looking for it I would have missed it. I walked in and notified them that I was with a party of 12. We were seated in a separate area of the restaurant to accommodate our large party. The set up was a bit strange as they put together large round tables that made it for awkward sitting. There was pitchers of water on the table, no ice in them. Our glasses had no ice so we drank room temp water. The server came and took our order. A few of my coworkers had been here before and are Indian. They ordered many dishes for us to try. I was a bit scared that I was not going to like what they ordered for us but I was wrong. Everything was absolutely fantastic. We had veggie samosas, chicken biryani, chicken 65, butter chicken, okra, chicken tikka masala, Dal Makhani, basmati Rice, and other things that I had no idea what they were. Everything was full of flavor, portions were great for sharing and the nan was great. They also ordered desserts but I was so full the only one I tried was what looked like a donut hole served in warm syrup. Omg! It was so delicious. The service was good. One of my coworkers knows the chef and he stopped by so say hello. It was a great outing with my work family. The food was delicious and I seriously can't wait to go back. read more

In my opinion, this is the best Indian restaurant in town. Apart from the rather bland buffet, I can't think of a single (ordered) entree that I haven't loved. I do realize that buffets are meant to appeal to the masses and plenty of people can't handle heat, so I don't judge them for their bland buffet. I just simply don't go there for lunch. I could live on this food and never tire of it. I know many people stick to the safe tikka masala or curry chicken, but there are many really good options. I salivate over their saag paneer and am always wanting to order something I've never tried. Be adventurous. You're missing out if you don't. While there are many vegetarian options, I do wish they had more vegan options. -Many other Indian restaurants have more, as it is not hard to make vegan versions of some of their popular menu items. That is the only request that I have. Really one of the only areas that I think they fall a little short. Between the food and the really beautiful interior, this is an easy choice for dinner. Not to mention their service is always great. Although I do wish they'd bring the check a little faster. Now I want Indian. read more

This place is one of the good Indian restaurants around makefile Naperville. They do not have the buffet anymore after covid, but they have special lunch which is a great price to try various Indian dishes. Price is pretty comparable to other Indian restaurants around. The food is more close to birth Indian dishes and would recommend this place. read more

First time ever trying Indian food, and based on a recommendation, we tried the Indian Harvest. We were pleasantly delighted by the service, the staff, the food and the ambience. we ordered each item individually starting off with aa few appetizers, a few main courses, and dessert. An order of garlic naan bread with every course. The owner and server couldn't have been more helpful and so pleased when our party was thrilled with every dish served. Looking forward to returning! read more

We had an excellent dinner with terrific service. Loved their Malabar Veggie Curry (June Special), Masala Fish Harvest, and Lamb Saag. Their lightly sweet Kasmiri Naan is delicious. I highly recommend the Keema Samosa appetizer filled with spiced ground lamb. Our Mango Lassi beverages were perfectly mixed. We will return soon. read more

Absolutely the best Indian restaurant. All the dishes have amazing and authentic flavors. The service is second to none. Great atmosphere. All the lamb dishes I have had have been great. Clearly, Im a fan and have going here for years. My daughter loved the Lovey Dovey dessert is a must try. read more

HORRIBLE FOOD AND EVEN MORE MORE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE I'd placed an order over doordash recently and looks like the some cleaner in the restaurant had prepared the food. I called the restuarant directly to check why all the items in the $100+ order were messed up. The manger I spoke to pretended to be concerned and said he'll give a credit for the food. I called back on a later date to use the credit and they tried all sort of rubbish tricks to avoid paying out this credit. After multiple phone calls, some so called 'chef' came on the call, showing all his arrogance on display. He refused to even share his name when I asked for it. Please run your restaurant in a professional manner and employ more professional people. You're taking people's money for the food, not dishing out free food. If you can't prepare food properly, atleast learn to respect your customers. All the best trusting these 'genuine' reviews! There are much better resturants in Naperville and around where they don't serve such rubbish in the name of food read more

I have done takeout for this location, and the best part is they are open on afternoon times when most of Indian restaurants are closed. We have tried malai Kosta, veg. Korma and egg curry. All were good and tasty. Veg. Korma is a little on the sweet side but not overly sweet. The combo of malai kofta and veg korma is great. I also had Bajra roti, which is good, but better to eat in restaurants than home. Butter Naan was great. Veg. Biryani was good, too. read more

Curry When it comes to Indian food there are many varieties based on the part of India the cooks are from. That said it's hard to compare Indian restaurants because they may all be different, but you can decide what you like best for your own taste. I liked Indian Harvest. The flavors were all moderate and smooth. I didn't feel that anything was too spicy or too much curry....it felt like the perfect blend. Before COVID most Indian restaurants had a buffet that allowed you to have a variety of their foods. Since COVID I've noticed that most of the restaurants are no longer doing buffets. What I liked about this place is they have a sampler platter. You can pick between Vegan, Vegetarian, and Non-Vegetarian which is meats. We ordered 1 Vegetarian and 1 Non-Vegetarian to get more variety and both were really good. I definitely recommend trying this place. read more

VEGETARIANS BEWARE and STEER CLEAR. For that matter anyone who doesn't want to run the risk of receiving old or tasteless preparations. Sad to say the quality here has DECLINED since prepandemic times. Came here for Christmas Eve dinner. Ordered two thalis (vegetarian), dahi vada, jeera rice, and garlic naan. The dahi vada was basically a couple frozen balls floating in yogurt- neither soft or flavorful as advertised. The jeera rice was basically regular - and quite frankly what seemed like old- rice with a few cumin seeds sprinkled on top (definitely not fried with the cumin or aromatic). The thali was highly questionable. Out of the three vegetables maybe one was edible. The other two tasted rather spoiled. The eggplant was absolutely indiscernible as eggplant due to an overwhelming burnt taste that they may have been trying to market as "smoked"? We had three different people inquire about and hear about the quality of our meal: the hostess, a server, and the manager. The hostess and the server who took our feedback reported back to the manager who came out wearing an apron (perhaps that should have explained it, because in retrospect he seemed to spend more time socializing out in the lobby of the restaurant than in the kitchen) and was rather unpleasant to deal with. When receiving feedback on the rice his response was to act incredulous and curt bordering on rude. When receiving feedback on the dahi vada seeming served frozen, he stated rather matter of factly that "Yes they came out of the cooler?". He walked away at the end of our conversation and never provided a response to our concerns or explanation beyond the above. They ended up comping the rice and vada but no explanation or apology from management. Their non-veg selections, which dominate the menu, may have been prepared fresh and I got the sense that perhaps that was the draw for the crowd that was there that evening. Because from a vegetarian standpoint literally everything was bad except the garlic naan. Don't have the audacity to put vegetarian fare on your menu without backing it up. read more

Ordered Carry out for New Year's Dinner for New Years 2025! Naan we ordered was missing and some of the items were below standard we expect from this restaurant we have visited since its inception. Called the restaurant and the person offered a store credit. I requested a refund to my credit card, his answer was that it will take two days to get the refund as they will be closed for New Years Day and he wouldn't be able to process the refund until the weekend. I just couldn't believe it and the quality and service has gone downhill since they first opened. read more

The service overall was super super slow. The server wasn't educated what all to bring together or what all goes together. The menu was nice but the of the servers don't know what it is, what's the point. The ambiance was nice but that's it. It took an hour for the food to arrive after we placed the order but it wasn't good as it was hyped up to be. We made a special trip for this restaurant so not sure if we will do that again. Notes - Rotlo is suppose to semi thick and soft. When it came to our table I could barely break and it before it could crumble. Roti or naam can be asked for less butter. It's not that confusing. Medium spicy should be edible but your medium spicy was an Indian origin was super spicy. read more

Right by Fresh Thyme in Naperville, passed it so many times but never noticed The Indian Harvest until a friend brought us here. The curries were so delicious. The dishes looks small, but it's not. The pot has thin casings and is deep, so there's plenty of sauce and meat that comes with each dish. But the sauce will never be enough because you want to lick up every drop with the Naans, especially the garlic naan! read more
