Very big temple. It really feels like we are visiting a temple in india. Very peaceful place with peaceful surroundings. Few highlights: - Huge parking lot - Cafeteria with so many options. - People are very friendly and honest My daughter lost her gold ear rings and we realized after 30 minutes when we went and checked food counter to see if anyone found it and returned. For our surprise really someone found it and returned it to food section. 😊 If you are in Illinois then it’s a must visit temple 👍

This is a beautiful temple and you shouldn't miss this place if you are in the Chicago area! The premises is well-maintained. Best of all is the restaurant at the temple! Delicious food and a variety to choose from!!

One of the early Hindu temples in Chicago and a popular one. We went on a sunny Sunday afternoon and found the temple buzzing with devotees. As the temple is undergoing renovation, parking and Madapalli (Cafeteria) have been shifted to temporary locations. Mask was compulsory inside the temple and thankfully it was freely available as one enters the temple premises. Entrance was also thru basement of the temple due construction. Had pleasant darshan of the presiding deities (Shiva & Venkateswara) and quickly marched down to the cafeteria which could use some extra signages for out of state visitors like us. We didn't know where the temporary canteen was and ended up driving out thru the exit only to realize we could have just walked to the Panchavati. But, the trek was worth it and a sumptuous Pongal, Vada & Dosas were waiting for us. It filled us with joy and we drove out with happy bellies..

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.

We there for first time , for my bday to get blessings ❤️ I loved this temple so much .

Beautiful temple architecture and peaceful place of worship. Full of positive vibes, serine experience. Disciplined administration. There is a food court down the hallway, delicious south Indian food, at reasonable price.

A beautiful Hindu temple in Aurora, IL. Spacious, well built and still being upgraded. Balaji is gorgeously awesome with blissful smile that can take away anyone's breath. The place felt heavenly and magical wonderland. If you are a tourist here, do not forget to add this to your list of places to visit. If you stop by reception desk, don't miss to check out their yummy Sweet Laddu.

Very nice temple. more calm and peaceful. No rush that much . Prasadam is very nice with reasonable price. MANGO lassi also available and its more tasty.

Religious temple 🛕 Good south Indian dishes available at temples dinning hall

Been here after 8 years and god they renovated it so well .. was surprised at the first look.. beautiful and peaceful place to be .. and their cafeteria serves amazing food .. tamarind rice was sooo tasty .. and other dishes including their snack items were tasty as well..

We have been to this temple/mandir on various occasions. It’s always peaceful and feels like visiting Tirumala temple back home. The architecture is beautiful. They perform poojas/rituals like in any other Balaji temple. The temple has a large cafeteria with ample seating. The food offered here is delicious. They also sell gifts and snacks for an additional fee. It also has rooms for Hindu classes and performances.

It is a really nice temple in a big town of Aurora. Very beautiful and identical to what a temple looks like in india. we had our wedding there . It is a peaceful and relaxing place with beautiful surroundings and amazing architecture

Feels so divine and peaceful. The vibe is very spiritual. The cafeteria food is hygienic and tasty.

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!

You always get a nice feeling to see our own temple with our people in a foreign country. Visited this place many times in my multiple visits to US. They made lot of changes to temple in recent times and new look and feel is awesome. Area is very very neatly maintained. There are lot of Indian food items like delicious tiffin items to snacks available there to buy. Huge parking space available.

Always good feel in the temple! Lot of renovations in last year!

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.

Excellent Hindu worship place!! Huge facility offering variety of religious services inside the temple!! Wonderful architecture inside the temple!! We are a long time visitors and always enjoyed our visits. Om Namo Venkateshaya!! 🙏 Also a great place to purchase South Indian food and snacks! The ground floor offers the experience of a typical self-serve South Indian restaurant!!

Awesome place of worship, temple is remodeled, rebuilt recently to cater to the modern architecture standards. Devotees can do Pooja, Archana, Abhishekam and etc. Kitchen is at the first floor, devotees can take home or seat at the dining area.

Area is clean and well maintained. Beautiful temple. highly recommend to trying the food served at the temple's canteen. Really delicious food. And cost wise very economical. 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.

Beautiful temple with all main deities for worship - Balaji / Andal, Shiva / Parvathi, Murugan / Valli Devanai, Shri Ganesha and also Navagrahas. Nice prasadam centre in the basement. Large surrounding open premises for parking and to sit out.

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.
