About Indian Bistro

Indian Bistro, located at 732 E Dundee Rd, Palatine, IL 60074, USA, is a restaurant categorized under "Chinese Restaurant" on the platform, though customer reviews indicate it primarily serves Indian cuisine. This introduction aims to provide local users with details based on online feedback.

Customers consistently praise the friendliness and kindness of the staff, even when arriving close to the weekday closing time of 9:00 pm (despite online information stating 9:30 pm). The service is described as welcoming and accommodating.

The food at Indian Bistro is generally considered delicious and generous, particularly in terms of the amount of sauces and meat provided. Popular dishes include the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was noted for its flavor but lacking spiciness in one instance, and a flavorful Lamb dish. Another highly recommended item is the Chicken 65, with one customer expressing it was "AMAZING" and making them eager to try more of the menu. The Paratha bread is also highlighted as exceptionally delicious, with a customer ordering extra to take home.

While the food quality and taste are well-received, one reviewer mentioned that the portion of rice was somewhat small. Additionally, there was feedback regarding the quality of the plates and containers for takeout, which were described as flimsy and potentially messy upon opening. This suggests that the restaurant might be particularly well-suited for those planning to consume the food at home.

The atmosphere inside the restaurant is described as "nice and inviting," with one customer who had previously only ordered takeout noting the pleasant ambiance upon their first visit inside. This suggests that dining in is also a viable option, although the initial review leaned towards recommending it for takeout.

Overall, Indian Bistro in Palatine offers tasty and generously portioned Indian food with friendly service. While the takeout packaging could be improved and rice portions might be smaller, the quality of dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb, Chicken 65, and Paratha bread, along with a welcoming atmosphere, make it a place worth considering.

A week ago, late in the evening, my son and I found ourselves hungry and wanted to get Indian food. We Googled and found Indian Bistro, which online says is open until 9:30 pm, but it actually closes at 9:00 pm on weekdays. Despite arriving just 30 minutes before closing, the staff was incredibly friendly, kind, and willingly taking our order. The food surpassed our expectations, being both delicious and generous in terms of sauces and meat—the essentials. However, the portion of rice was on the smaller side, which is fine since we didn’t go there to eat rice ;-). Considering we paid over $30 for two dishes, bread and a drink, we expected better-quality plates and containers, but they were very flimsy. When you open the containers, it can get a bit messy. The place is perfect for a take-out. The Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious but had no kick, even though we didn’t request it to be mild. The Lamb dish was delicious, full of flavor. Because you get so much delicious sauces, we just made fresh rice, and had dinner next day. The paratha bread was another highlight, so delicious that I ordered couple extra pieces home. The staff, didn’t mind even though they were closing in a few minutes. If you want a good Indian to-go food - this is a place. We will definitely be ordering from there again

I’ve ordered from here a few times, but today’s dish of Chicken 65 was AMAZING. I had never tried Indian food until a few months ago and I can’t wait to try everything on the menu at Indian Bistro. Today was the first time I actually went inside and the employees could not have been sweeter. What a kind group of hard working people. And the atmosphere was so nice and inviting. I will for sure be back.

I don't know why I hadn't thought of this earlier but I got a hankering for Indian cuisine. Specifically, the one food I could eat every day for the rest of my life: chicken saag. So I began looking for someplace nearby that might actually be open at 1:30pm on a Saturday. If you eat at Indian restaurants you KNOW that's a challenge! Anyway, Indian Bistro checked off the necessary boxes so off I went. I'll just cut to the chase: everything I ordered was delicious and reasonably priced!! I don't know how anybody could complain about small portions. I walked out of there absolutely stuffed AND with leftovers! Here's what I ordered: Chicken Saagwala (so. much. food.) Samosas (two huge samosas per order) Gulab Jamun (two in the order) 1 Diet Coke The saag was very good - maybe a little less spicy than I'm used to but still very tasty. The samosas were huge, quite spicy and delicious. The gulab jamun were large and sweet - a lovely ending to a yummy meal! All cost around $24. Not bad for a huge meal with plenty of leftovers! My only complaint is that you have to buy cans of soda. They have a fountain machine right there. Ugh. FYI: this place is *super* casual - like, cafeteria casual. You go to the counter, order your food, and then wait for them to tell you it's ready. Then you bring your plastic tray with styrofoam containers of tasty food to your table and enjoy! Before you leave, take your tray to the back of the room and dispose appropriately 😊 Did I like it? Hecks yeah! In fact, I loved it so much, I'm fighting the urge to go back again today!

This place is sooooo goooooooood. Love everything we had here. The Chicken 65 was totally different than we’ve had other places, but it was still really delicious. The staff are all super nice too. FYI this is a casual/takeout spot but it does have tables. We’ll be back next time we’re in town. Thanks!!!!

We ordered the chicken tikka masala, chicken 65, Hakka shrimp chinese noodles, chicken Chinese fried rice, samosas and a variety of breads. Even our picky kids who can’t handle spice LOVED it. It’s all spicy HOT besides the tikka masala and breads. I wouldn’t call the rice or noodles like any chinese I’ve ever had but it was still amazing! Happy to have found our new Indian restaurant! I just wish they would make naan!
