Nothing was "authentic" about the food. In fact, a disgrace to Indian food. So called "Indian" restaurants running in the US should stop this! Naming your restaurant "authentic" would sure attract customers who can't tell the difference but what about honesty? Nobody cares I guess! Was visiting Chicago and after hearing there's alot of Indian restaurants I thought lets give it a shot! Spent well over worth, to get this, and also food poisoning bonus! Be careful everyone!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Oberois Indian Restaurant definitely gives you a taste of authentic Indian cuisine at an affordable price with a great, semi fine dining atmosphere. The food here is very good but nothing stands out as spectacular just yet.. but we do recommend the tandoori chicken, biryanis, and karahi gosht. Everything here also seems to be cooked fresh and ready to order which is good. They offer many traditional options but also some indo-chinese options as well if you are in the mood for something different. The ambiance and decore is really perfect for a dinner with family, friends of even a date. They also offer a lunch buffet twice a month.

Oberois we found by accident because we were looking for Hema’s Kitchen. Apparently they retired. Regardless, this may be the best indian restaurant overall my wife and I have ever been to (either this or Mild2Spicy). They had the 2nd best tikka masala Ive ever had. Garlic naan was perfectly cooked, soft, and smothered in garlic. Absolutely perfection! The veggie samosas were spiced perfectly. Also, we got the chilli gobi and it was SO good. We saw someone else get it and thought it looked and sounded good so we tried it and were so happy we did. Highly recommend this place!
