I had a serious craving for Indian good forever and was able to convince my coworkers to come here. When we explored the website, the place looks super fancy-​shmancy… glory to the photog gawds!
They have a special lunch menu… they usually don’t give you the menu unless you ask, but they have a buffet they offer for $ 17. You get a bunch of food, and the cool thing is that instead of the usual buffet style setup, they actually bring the food in the typical Indian pots. All you do is ask for more and they bring it to you! They cater to vegetarians and meat eaters with the selection.
I’m not sure if the buffet is different every time, but when we were there, they had the following:
— Garden salad
— Veg. Pakoras
— Chicken vindaloo
— Garlic naan
— Basmati rice
— Tandoori chicken — BOOM! money!
— Mutter paneer — boom. delicious!
— Channa Pindi
— Bhindi Masala
As mentioned, the mutter paneer and the tandori chicken was the best. And then at the end, they give you the desert of gulab jamun. Our bill with four people came out to around $ 82 without tip… not too bad, for downtown prices
The servers were very attentive and nice, they filled our waters constantly, and the food was pretty spicy (not hot-​spicy, but flavorful).

Came here with the sis and future bro-​in-​law for Indian food. I hadn’t had any in a while and I was jonesing for some and Jaipur was the closest place for us to meet. The inside of it befits its location on Randolph, which has turned into a bunch of restaurants. A pretty fancy front with a pretty comfortable banquette seat. I got the chicken biryani and wanted an order of garlic naan. The naan was great, a little slow in coming out but tasty with a lot of good flavor. I guess I was expecting all of it to be an explosion of flavor since it had been so long since I had Indian food and it was good just not mind blowing. Service was pretty good, but we were there when the snow started to fall so there was literally one other table besides us so they definitely paid us a lot of attention.

Just had an order delivered by
…
$ 19 for Chicken Tikka Masala and it doesn’t even include the rice. I called and was told rice was $ 4.99 extra. This place usually has great flavors but adding an additional $ 5 for the rice and making the dish $ 25 doesn’t make much sense and is way overpriced relative to other local Indian restaurants where it’s $ 12 and $ 16 including rice.
Will not order from here again.

Jaipur has many vegetarian options and several vegan ones, It’s hard to find vegan Indian food since they often use ghee (butter) to cook with but this place made it so easy for me to find something incredible. The wait staff is well-​versed in vegan options – tell them up front that you want non dairy, vegan, and they will point out what’s available. Some of the starters (appetizers sampler) are also vegetarian/​vegan, as well as the plain paratha. I would definitely eat here again.

The food was ok, but this restaurant is strictly for a dine-​in experience (and i say that with a grain of salt as i haven’t gone there). If you’re ordering online, it better be the case that you are super desperate to have their food and have chunk of change to spare because the delivery person they have is extremely rude if you don’t give a tip in cash (don’t even think about paying it online with the order, he doesn’t get how that works), the person actually name calls, happened twice now.
I did call the restaurant to make a complaint, spoke to two people, lady-who-can’t-speak-English and possibly-​a-​manager (who really knows?! he didn’t state his name despite asking), and they both had interesting excuses… 1) The actual delivery guy is sick so the son was sent out (OK I usually get the «son» so I think the fact that i order here is getting the regular guy sick each time, poor him, i will not order again i swear!!)… 2) I’m so sorry, i have no idea he was going to do that (You sure about that? Can’t give this place a benefit of the doubt since he’s a repeat offender) …3) I don’t know what to do since he is not a regular… SOOO let me get this straight, «son» is actually not an employee but is handling all customer details, they have no control over what he does, they’re «sorry» and are helpless over this situation since he isn’t employed there. Super, what can possibly go wrong with this setup. I have no intention to familiarize with more members of the regular dude’s fam, staying faaaar away from this one!

Things are changing with restaurant unfortunately for bad
1. Person taking order don’t speak proper English… They don’t understand what you ordering. They don’t understand phone No.
2. It’s been 2 hr since I ordered my food and I am still waiting. I just called the restaurant and without inquiring about my about, they told me food is on its way.
3. Very poor Coustomer service. Don’t expect from this restaurant. Never ordering again.

We ordered this amazing Indian food from grub hub twice in one week! The food was delivered still very hot. We very much enjoyed the keema samosas to start, there were two and HUGE, and very tasty. We also ordered the chicken tikka masala, saag planner, garlic naan, and the highly acclaimed and Unilocaled shrimp biriyani. The chicken was moist and unbelievably flavorful. The rice is rightfully Unilocaled a lot about, it was amazing. But my favorite, was the saag paneer. I just didn’t understand how it had so much flavor. It was so delicious. Everything was just amazing. They also packed our to-​go bags with sauces that I have no idea what they were, but very good. I cannot comment on service since I have yet to experience it, but food… Mmmm. The best Indian food I’ve had yet in Chicago!

Jaipur, why do you love to disappoint me?! Get a new delivery system and better people on the phone taking orders.
If your food wasn’t so darn tasty I’d vow not to return!
My four start rating is for taste, and taste alone. Chicken makhani, naan and rice. Our typical order when we we want Indian… The delivery time is outrageous. Typically takes over an hour… But we do it anyway.

Went on a weekend for dinner, fortunately place was not very crowded. Very centrally located in West Loop among the best restaurants like Girl and the goat & Au Cheval. Our order was taken quickly. We ordered Samosa chat, Veg cutlet, Chicken makhani, Kadahi paneer and three kinds of naan. Every dish we ordered was tasty and authentic. I was surprised that the chat items were so tasty. The quantities were huge. Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in West loop. The Cheese garlic needs a special mention, very tasty but hi-​calorie :). The naan is filled with cheese inside. Biryani is not impressive. I’d give it a miss and stick to roti & curries. Gulab jamoon is just about average.

So, I have gone from 3 stars to 4 to finally 5 for Jaipur. Their food is authentic and awesome. Must try their biryani and butter chicken, it’s delicious. Best days to visit are Friday evenings and weekends. We order for delivery from them quite often and I felt the food seems more fresh on Fridays and weekends. Service still is okayish, can deduct half a point there.

Overall: Average food amid poor service leads to just an OK experience at Jaipur.
The good: Food tastes good. Outside of the buffet, there are a ton of options. Decent atmosphere with plenty of seating. The buffet is presented to you instead of a line (but that is also a bad thing, see more review)
The bad: Service was rude, un-​attentive, slow, and there was even plastic in our food. Don’t care how good your food may be, if the service doesn’t match it will affect your rating. Expensive too, even for a lunch buffet. Not many food selections for the buffet. Tandoori chicken was dry.

First off I was pretty surprised at how good the décor of this place is and it was jam-​packed on a Friday night. The service was slow — like really slow. He took an awful long time to get the order. I think the pakoda and the bhel puri were really good. We got the malai kofta, bhindi fry, palak paneer and the chicken tikka masala. The kofta was good but the chicken masala was just so — so, definitely had better. I got the bullet naan which was good. Everyone else had kulfi for dessert and said that was good too.

A-​OK is the perfect word to describe this place. But on a street with Au Cheval, Girl and the Goat, and Avec, I don’t really know why one would come here instead. Maybe to satisfy an unsettling craving for Indian food?
We ordered the chicken tikka masala, chicken vindaloo, kerala fish curry, paneer, and daal. The chicken dishes were both pretty satisfying: solid curry flavor. The kerala fish curry was a huge disappointment: everyone gave the dish one and only one try. The paneer and daal were standard.
I would recommend trying the garlic cheese naan. It’s fairly addicting, even though you’ll probably question your dietary decisions after it hits the spot. Nevertheless, I have never really tried something like this before.

Went for dinner. Ordered their special biryani for $ 20 and lamb curry for $ 19. The food did not feel fresh at all, and the lamb felt like eating rubber.
The next morning, starting at 4am, I got a very bad case of FOOD POISONING.
Do not recommend!

I’ve past by a few times going to the little goat for breakfast and finally was able to stop in for some Indian cuisine for lunch as I saw a special posted by the door. The special consist of two choice’s «Meat» or «Vegan» and these entrees of rice, curries and desert for $ 17.
We ordered one of each, I had the meat and my friend had the vegan, to my mistake, we had a total of 6 dishes and there were too much for us to handle in one session, so we asked the waiter to pack our leftovers. He mention to us that their will be an additional cost of $ 2.50 if we want to take the food home. I was surprised to hear him say that especially when I did not read that additional cost in the menu or any posting anywhere in the restaurant. I said sure.
When the bill came, we saw that the $ 2.50 was not on the bill and proceeded to hand over my credit card to pay, at the moment the waiter said that the credit card connection was down and asked if we can pay cash. We said fine, as we put cash to pay, the waiter came back and said that the credit card machine was back online. we looked at the bill and the original bill that he had given us was more — we calculated the difference and it was $ 2.80 more.
At that time, we were both frustrated at the experience that we had at Jaipur, we both agreed that we did and will not come back here again.
The food that we brought home tasted good and the ratings were judged on the services that we experienced.

NOT IMPRESSED with customer service! Not worth it! An expensive and horrible lunch experience.
I came here with a group of friends for lunch on Sunday.
Food — might as well get the buffet for $ 16.99. Food was ok; however, it would be nice to know what we’re eating… the food just came out without any explanation on what just came out…
*Note — if you want rice with your meal or anything else for that matter, there’s additional charge & they don’t tell you that!!! Just assume that there’s an additional charge before ordering… even for boxes. sad!
Customer Service — slow… and slow…
Costs/​Payments — we had a group of 10+ and the waitress said we could only split into 2 credit cards… this is very inconvenient for people. However, after the meal, she split the credit cards for us individually, BUT it took her forever and she also added gratuity on top of that! I definitely wouldn’t have given 20% gratuity for the service we received, but I guess we weren’t really given a choice…
**Not recommended with groups or bring CASH.
Environment — gotta leave one positive remark… this place was very spacious.
Washrooms — there was NO SOAP in the women’s washroom… I hope the chefs/​workers wash their hands with soap in the back…
I won’t be back here ever…

Any time I can eat a full meal of Indian food and not feel like I’m trying to digest a gerbil jacked up on drugs I consider it a win. My belly can be a bit sensitive to the spices so if you’re the same I’ll share that this place is pretty safe.
Not only will it not make you hate life for the next 8 hours, but it’s pretty darn delicious too! My vegetarian sister and I made our way through some garlic naan, biriyani, aloo gohbi, and saag paneer. I didn’t have the slightest what any of it was before she ordered it, but the aftermath was happy taste buds and a full, non-​upset stomach. Score!
The décor is pretty impressive and they have a nice patio, which is perfect for people watching on the Randolph restaurant row. Overall the service was friendly, but a little on the slow side. No biggie though.
I rarely do the Indian thing, but when I do this will be my safe bet.
