Best Indian Restaurants in Park Ridge

My husband and I enjoyed his birthday dinner Saturday night at Dhamaal. The restaurant was buzzing with lively chatter and guests looked relaxed and happy. We were warmly greeted by the lovely hostess, Prapti, and promptly seated although we were 15 minutes late. The manager immediately set us up with sparkling water and opened the bottle of red wine we brought with us. We were waiting for our waiter to take our order, but one of the very alert owners came over to check in and took our order. He was friendly and we enjoyed our interaction with him. We told him we enjoy spicy/hot foods and he brought us the Murg (chicken) Tikka on the house, which was oh soooo succulent and spicy, just the way we like it...so very thoughtful of him. We ordered and enjoyed the succulent, perfectly cooked Boom Boom shrimp, juicy Afgani lamb chops, delicious spicy Dhaba Gosht (goat with bone) curry and naan, all of which arrived together. Next time, we'll be sure to ask request the dishes be coursed so that we can savor each individually. I understand why all were brought together, as they're all entrees. We concluded our meal with the Gulab Jamoon churros; delicious ice cream; churros could have been crispier. We were there for over 2 hours and didn't feel rushed. We are definitely looking forward to returning very soon ... and since we had an enjoyable experience, will bring friends; perhaps, for my upcoming birthday. Loved the whole experience! Thank you Dhamaal team.

Give yourself and your party time. as the drinks and food arrived rather slowly. Food though was delicious. We had an early evening reservation (5:15) on a Friday night and there were lots of available tables, with a few people coming in for pick up orders. By the time we left though (7:30ish) the place was full. Too full to order dessert but very happy with the meal and certainly the selections on the menu.

Food is good. Restaurants is small so had to wait long for the table to be ready. Rest all was nice.

The food was great, I'll go back again. I recommend the place.

We had a delicious meal at Benares. I loved the Chicken Tikka Masala. The samosas are always good. My family enjoyed spicier dishes of goat and lamb. We celebrated my birthday with a chocolate lava cake and rose water ice cream. Our servers were excellent.
