“ Amazing food and service! Our server was the sweetest and gave us great recommendations. Chef came out to greet us as well and told us about upcoming specials. Dhanteraz biryani is awesome, some of the best we have had. Overall a great experience. We will be back. ”

“ Excellent service. All the workers were nice and attentive. The food was very flavorful, and the spice levels we ordered were accurate with every dish. The lamb bhiryani was the star, very well seasoned. Would easily come back to try more! ”

“ Absolutely phenomenal experience! I recently visited this restaurant and was blown away by the authenticity of the Indian flavors. From the very first bite, it felt like I was back in India — rich spices, bold aromas, and truly comforting dishes. The special biryani was an absolute standout — flavorful, perfectly cooked, and incredibly satisfying. On top of that, the service was top-notch. The staff were warm, attentive, and gave spot-on recommendations that really elevated the whole meal. 10/10 — will definitely be coming back! ”

“ Fantastic night out, with incredible food and lovely staff. We tried the Gobi Manchurian, Lamb Biryani, Butter Chicken, and Garlic Naan and loved it all. We chose mild spice for all and still thought it was flavorful. We’ll definitely be back :) ”

“ We found Dhanteraz very last minute and wow, what a find! Great combination of delicious food, cute ambiance, and friendly service. First time trying Chicken Korma and it did not disappoint. Tikka Masala was also excellent. The naan was piping hot and wonderfully flaky. Roscoe Village is lucky to have this place! ”

“ We had a large party, 13 people everyone really enjoyed the food and service. Our waitress was attentive and have good recommendations. Dhanteraz’s Biryani Lamb was sooo good, for the longest time I thought we could get this version in India where a dough cover the claypot while it cooked. We loved the chicken 65 & pakora appetizers. Bhindi/okra was very good too. For desserts highly recommend the jackfruit ice-cream, coconut tres leches & mango tres leches BYOB was a big plus. Highly recommend Dhanteraz if you want Indian food ”

“ We were searching for an Indian fusion restaurant in Chicago and this place showed up on top of the list. After dining here I realized why this place is rated so high. Dhanteraz Indian Fusion location is right in the residential neighborhood where there are several boutique businesses. Street parking might be difficult to find on a busy day. Restaurant ambience is trendy and gives us the vibe of cozy hangout place for nearby residents. The service was top notch and the waitress gave us suggestions about menu choices and prepared us well about the spice level. My favorite dishes are the Chili Paneer, Chili Gobi, Lamb Rogan Ghosh, Pakoda. I felt the Chef has mastered these dish’s recipes and gave his signature touch. We also tried Chicken Tikka Masala Pasta , Chicken Chettinad, Veg Biryani, Malai Kofta, Garlic Naan, jackfruit ice cream , cake which were ok. Entrees portions are a little smaller when compared to other restaurants. I wish there were more fusion menu options and/or authentic Indian regional cuisine menu options. Chef Abu took time to check on us and inquired about the food taste and service. I would recommend this place to anyone who would like to try Indian food. ”

“ The place, food and ambiance was excellent. The attention to detail shows up so well right from the chef to everyone. The food was delicious and so different - not the same old you taste everywhere Indian. Our server was so knowledgeable and her recommendations were right on spot. If you want to taste Indian food again for it's flavor, freshness and love then come here!! ”
