This is such an awesome Hindu temple in Chicago area. While there are many this is a standout among other fantastic temples. The recent expansion and renovation makes it very visitor friendly. Whether you are a local not visited this place yet or an outsider just visiting, this place is well worth the visit. Plus on weekends you get a full blown most delicious South Indian food of all kind there.

The Venkateshwara Temple in Chicago is an enchanting place that exudes spiritual energy. The temple's architecture and serene surroundings offer a sense of peace and devotion. I highly recommend trying the puliyodare served at the temple's canteen. Not only is it incredibly economical, but it's also exceptionally tasty, leaving your taste buds delighted. The temple provides a fulfilling experience for devotees and visitors alike, and the delicious food adds an extra touch of warmth and satisfaction to the visit. A must-visit for both spiritual seekers and food enthusiasts!

Have you ever wondered entering into a temple made you feel like a palace? Yes, you heard me right, this temple is just HEAVEN. They’re currently going through renovation but the moment I stepped in, I felt the bliss. The temple constitutes some South Indian deities and they even do prayers. Last but not the least, they have Indian tiffins on the weekends and on weekdays, they only have a very few options like tamarind rice, curd rice, etc. If you’re in Chicago and would love to visit temples, you must certainly visit this to get some peace.

I had the bliss to visit the temple on Maha Shivratri occasion and it’s a altogether different vibe. The devotees, the decoration, the archana (worship) and the food was all top-notch. I was there all by myself that day and yet didn’t feel alone or lonely. If you are in the neighborhood you should certainly visit this temple for some inner peace and happiness. The photos would not justify it, so do check out the place next time you are in the neighborhood.

There are lot of Indian food items like delicious tiffin items to snacks available there to buy. Huge parking space available.

Serene. There's a small pond with ducks at the entrance of the temple compound. The temple has been built lavishly. The price of the food is less compared to the restaurants and it's delicious.

Went on a Monday. Nice temple, but currently undergoing a massive renovation that disrupts the calm atmosphere.You have to go down to the basement through a maze and then upstairs to even enter the temple.I got some tamarind rice and a laddoo, which were very delicious.Once the remodeling is done, I'm sure this will be a wonderful temple.

Nice spiritual place. I have been going to this temple since 2006. It is peaceful and spiritual place. Over the weekend and during the festival times, it gets really busy and crowded. I try to go usually in the morning or late in the evening. Food is divine and very delicious.

There is renovation going on at this times so there is diversion of darshan which feels the inconvenience to us but over all good. Huge parking lots and canteen. We will get lot of food options on Saturday and Sunday and limited food options on week days. There are outside sit out area which gives us pleasant. There is water fountain at entrance of temple.
