Apna Indian Grill

Friendly service, beautiful indoor dining room, vibrant flavors.I had the non-vegetarian lunch special with 2 currys, tandoori chicken, rice, naan, and raita. The chicken curry was my favorite with the perfect amount of spice.If you're looking for authentic Indian food, this is the spot!

The masala dosa here was good. The two stars are for that dish only. The service was extremely slow. We were a table of 6 people and ordered 5 items off the menu and got there for breakfast. There was only one other table of 2 people who were also waiting for their food. Our food came out extremely late. They forgot our drinks ( chai) which we ordered with our food. After we were done when we asked for our drinks our server said he'll bring it and then disappeared. We never saw him again. We finally asked someone else to help us after waiting a long time and told them we just want to pay and will leave. In the mean time while we waited, another table got occupied and their food was out faster than ours but still no sign of our drinks or no apology or acknowledgement for the delay for our food or forgetting our drinks. It's not like the servers were rude but they were just indifferent and ignoring the fact that there was a huge delay with our order and didn't try to fix it.Again the masala dosa was good, as was the tomato chutney that came with the dosa but the sambhar was not authentic ( it had corn and peas) and the idli and vada were also not authentic. Vada was not crispy and was dry.We also ordered poori sabzi, and it was a complete miss. The pooris were thick and chewy and the sabzi only tasted of turmeric. The bathroom was very dirty and hadn't been cleaned and they were out of toilet paper.

Food: Ordered takeout. Main dishes are like soup with an abundance off sauce compared to the meat. Although this has sadly become a theme of many Indian restaurants near and far, I expected more. Not so much as the volume of food but that a curry is not supposed to be a soup. In terms of taste, the meats were cooked fine and not overcooked as a positive; however felt sauce was bland Service: staff seemed nice enough but the order was about 25 minutes behind schedule and there were no offers of accommodation (such as giving me a seat to wait at, a water to sip on, etc...) which has been offered at other establishments and usually makes you feel more appreciated as a paying customer. Overall, I eat Indian food frequently and wouldn't say anything went atrocious but that the experience was forgetful and I wouldn't go out of my way to go again

Apna Indian Grill recently opened in a location with two entrances, along Elston as well as Montrose. I've wanted to give it a try, as Indian food is not a prominent find in this immediate area. I walked in to place my takeout order, and the pleasant young lady patiently answered my questions about my potential order. I went with lamb shahi korma, a dish that to my knowledge I have never ever tried before. She said that I could order my dish as "mild" so that is what I did. My order came out in only a few minutes. Fortunately I arrived before a party of 16 or so was about to dine in, possibly saving me a significant wait for my food.Lamb shahi korma comes with chunks of lamb, and a smattering of cashews and raisins in a creamy onion sauce, along with a side of rice. I did enjoy the flavor of the dish, and the food had just a bit of zing to it, although for $17.95 I was hoping for a bit more quantity of food.

Apna Indian Grill recently opened just down the block from us so we had to check it out, and we were not disappointed! We dined in, and found everyone who works here to be lovely and friendly. Great service. There's lots of seating in the back (or front if you come in via Montrose). They were getting lots of takeout orders while we were here so they must be doing something right!We had the veggie samosas to start, then the butter chicken and shrimp vindaloo, everything was super tasty! We had medium spice and I would say it was perfect, not too hot. The breads were so delish I forgot to take a picture, but we had garlic naan and paneer kulcha. Everything looked great on the menu so it was hard to decide, but I have my eye on the street food for next time and lunch specials for a cheeky work from home day No need to drive up to Devon to get your fix of Indian food, Apna is a most welcome addition to the neighborhood!

Insanely good!!! So happy this place opened up in the neighborhood. The biryanis are excellent same with the butter chicken and naan. I never had a biryani before but I'm obsessed. So flavorful, right amount of spice. Service couldn't be better and easy parking

There isn't much Indian food in my area on the NW side, and Apna is easily the best place for miles in my opinion. We got the butter chicken, samosa chaat, and three different kinds of naan. The samosa chaat was so flavorful and vibrant. I could taste the many spices in it, the citrusy notes, and the heat. A really delicious, balanced dish. The butter chicken my partner got was a very good version too. More tomato-forward than cream-forward, which was a reminder of how very fresh everything tasted. I'd say the portions were generous too. We ordered for delivery, but I really want to go for lunch amd try the thalis. FINALLY there is great Indian food near my home!!

Had a great meal. Friendly staff and delicious food. I had the chicken biryani and my wife had the chicken tikka masala. Both were wonderful, Tender and flavorful. I'll echo others and say it's great to have an Indian food option in the neighborhood.

Really sweet and attentive server, and super incredibly food. I tried new things and fell in love, and tried things I've always loved and adored how perfect it was. I loved the ambiance, and heard people speaking in a mix of Hindi and English talking about how authentic and delicious the food was. I was just passing through Chicago, but if I lived anywhere near here I would be coming regularly! The only thing I will mention is that I ordered mild food, and still found things a bit spicy, but my tolerance is a little low so use your own discretion.

My portion size on chicken was unbelievably sad. I never complain, but that was ridiculous. Definitely not coming back. I would have had more chicken in a McChicken
