Viceroy of India

Viceroy has been a family tradition since 1985 when it first opened its doors on Devon Ave. The owner, with love for tasty curries that be brought from green, breezy farms of Punjab, had the passion to provide people of Chicago with most authentic Indian dining experience. At Viceroy, you are sure to please every taste bud, and still long for more.

"If you have not tried Indian cuisine, this is a good restaurant to try. If you enjoy Indian food, you should definitely try this restaurant. Aside from some good dinner options, you may tell them how spicy or mild you want the dish. This restaurant has become our favorite Indian restaurant which we frequent on a regular basis,"

"This was my first experience to dine at an Indian restaurant so I have no other Indian cuisine to compare. Therefore, my review is on other variables I have come to expect when we go out for dinner. The wait staff was very helpful and the restaurant is clean, but needs an update. I will probably visit again and try other items on their menu."

"Excellent selection of this cuisine. Dinners are well prepared with choices of how hot you may like the spice to be. Highly recommend for you to give this restaurant a try. To get a good taste of this cuisine, the chef's specials are highly recommended."

"Great restaurant with well prepared Indian food. The blend of spices in the various dishes gives wondrous delicious tastes. If you have not tried Indian food before, this is one restaurant I would highly recommend. If you already enjoy Indian food this restaurant should be on your list."

"We both had their butter chicken which currently is one of our favorite dishes. My wife had regular spicy, mine was medium hot which adds a bit more bite to the taste. Keep in mind you may request the level of spiciness.
Though the above may be our favorite dish, we have many more to try. Since they have vegetarian dishes, we might consider going on a Friday during Lent. A much different selection than the common fish fries offered at othe restaurants."

"My wife had the Butter Chicken which I think so far is one of her favorite dishes, pieces of chicken in an excellent cream sauce. She had the spices mild. I had the Chicken Saag medium hot which had a great taste with some added heat. We ordered nan and rice with these dishes. I would think at least the Butter Chicken would include rice as it goes so well over rice. If rice is not mentioned it is likely not included. Two dollars for the nan was very reasonable and well worth the charge. However, $3.50 for one side order of rice seems to be stretching it for dishes which should really include rice. The latter are just minor issues, as both my wife and I very much enjoy Viceroy of India and highly recommend it."

"As usual the food was superb. I again enjoyed a chef's specialty but my wife ordered a chicken dish of which I took a tasted and thought it was very good. This evening for some reasoon our order seemed to take longer than normal, but it was worth the wait. My wife thought it might have been a result of my order including a number of different items while hers was one item.
It is hard to find a restaurant with so many dinner options and extremely tasty. If you have not had Indian food before and are hesitant, a chicken tandoori is a place to start."
