“Tasty Food, welcoming staff, Relaxing environment“

“I just stopped in for lunch carryout, and I am beyond impressed. I picked up a chicken tikka masala rice bowl with a side of chicken samosas and sat down to eat -- the meal became the highlight of my work day.

The rice bowl came with more than enough food to bring some of it home to the family. I didn't offer any inputs on spice level or anything, and it came out with an excellent combination of proper heat and flavor; love was found in every spoon, and I can't wait to try more from their menu. The samosas are deliciously savory and have a nice crisp to them, and come with a sweet sauce that pairs very well. Their prices surprised me! ~$16 for enough food for two people!

I'm very happy, and will be coming back!“

“Tried the Tava Fish Fry, Chicken 65 Biryani, and Mysore Masala Dosa. All items were quite good overall. A couple of minor points: the biryani would benefit from a saalna or gravy accompaniment, and the masala coating on the tava fish fry felt slightly thick or caked on. Otherwise, enjoyable meal.“

“Love the New owner Jay. The food - that includes vegetarian as well as non- veg delicious. Authentic & portions were large. Go with your family, carry out - all good. Jay treats us like family. I see him stopping at all the tables ensuring their dining experience is enjoyable.“

“The food is incredible! The staff are friendly, kind.“

“Tried their boneless dum biryani family pack

Unlike most layered biryanis, every grain of rice was fully seasoned and packed with flavor (not just the food color)
It came pre-mixed (not layered)

I do not want to comments on whether its authentic but its delicious and had a different in taste.

Fyi I find their family pack costs more than Nawabi Hyderabad House and doesn’t come with extras except raita“

“Tucked away from the main street in Devon is this humble place for some fantastic North Indian cuisine. Great authentic taste !!Had both the tandoori chicken and the chicken along with garlic naan and plain parathas and everything was delicious - Everything served hot and fresh. The tandoori chicken is made after ordering so will take approx 30 mins to be served but it’s worth the wait. The only thing that stuck out as an anomaly is the chicken looks more reddish than regular meat. It could be likely due to the red chilly spice used or maybe a little bit of food coloring ( not sure ).

This not a fine dine but a regular walk in restaurant with limited seating so pls set expectations accordingly. If you are a lover of Indian cuisine, highly recommend checking this out.“

“Good news websiteplz like and shere“

“The best Dosa in town crispy and hot the sambhar and masala was out of this world Very very friendly owner and waitress I strongly recommend u to go visit them if u have craving for Dosa Chef u did awesome job with Masala Dosa Today“

“We were looking for a place to dine-in around the area. This place caught my eye! We are glad we ended up going here! Large variety of Indian themed pizzas! Loved them all! The beverage menu was great too! They got a Mexican ice-cream place over there too! Huge quantity and top customer service was served! We plan to visit back if we are in the area!“

“Legit some of the best biryani I’ve had on Devon. Got the chicken dum biryani, chili paneer, and garlic naan—everything hit just right. Big portions too, easily fed two of us for under $40. Spot’s clean, staff is friendly, and they don’t skimp on spice. If you’re into bold flavors and real Hyderabadi vibes, this place is a gem. Definitely gonna be back.“

“This place is so awesome! The food is incredible, the staff is so nice and the wine is outstanding too. I will definitely be back and spread the word! ❤️“

“The Thrupthi Foods Store - snacks side restaurant (back of the store) makes so mouthwatering Tandoori! This is our all time favorite and best item for weekend. Chicken Puff and Veg puff are so fresh and delicious . Also, I love the Alu tiki .It is so delicious and yum.
It is rare to have fresh and healthy Indian food in Chicago , fortunately you can find here . It is my number one to-go place to grab a mouthwatering snack and go. Even the biriyanis are really good. Overall food is much better than nearby Indian restaurants.“

“This is an amazing establishment in the Chicagoland area, and in my opinion the most authentic place to try delicious Pakistani food. My favorite was the biryani but it’s a hard choice between the other amazing dishes. It’s a must try restaurant and a great experience for group outings. The staff was extremely kind and accommodating with our specific requests. Overall great food and service, will definitely go again!“

“We have been to this location many times, but last night was a terrible experience. We went to celebrate our 24th anniversary. The staff at the host stand was disengaged and unfriendly. We had to ask 4 times for a table & were never asked for a name for a waitlist. Finally we made a quick reservation & went back to the host stand at the time of our reservation & were still told that no tables were available. Then we located a table at the bar, but it was filthy & no staff came to clean it. A random bar staffer offered us a table on the patio, which we had been asking for since the beginning. Again, no customer service from the host or hostesses at all. Once seated, our waitress took our order. But we waited a very very long time for our appetizers, drank our wine, then waited about 45 minutes to pay the bill. Worst experience of costumer service we've ever had at this location.“

“I’m so glad my friend recommended Zaika! The food was absolutely amazing—delicious, authentic, and full of rich flavors. Their dal has a comforting, homely taste, and the thin chapatis are just perfect. The lamb and goat curry were both outstanding—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. On top of that, the prices are surprisingly low for the quality and quantity of food they serve. It’s rare to find such authentic Indian cuisine at such an affordable price. Highly recommend!!!“

“To everyone out there who is looking for a decent Hyderabadi meal in and around Devon then this is gonna be a stop. Besides the to go, they do monthly meal plans too. There should be no looking anywhere else if you are looking for a meal plan.“

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“Ordered Dabeili and paneer gravy from neeima , both were too good , specially paneer everyone ask from where I order , both things are must try , highly recommend neelima kitchen for catering and v efficient delivery is always on time .“

“We came here for dinner tonight and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience! The best way to describe our meal is “elevated comfort food!” Everything we ordered, came out beautifully plated, very quick service, even with a full house, and very attentive staff. We ordered the spiced carrots, naan, brisket, and pork belly. All of them were delicious, and my favorite by far was the pork belly, perfectly seared and paired with an excellent sauce. The berry spritzer cocktail was refreshing and not too sweet, dessert was just right, overall fantastic experience. We will definitely come back!“

“🔥🔥I don't know why this restaurant has below 4 stars.🔥🔥

Their food was delicious and it is authentic. I had two full plates of each item on the menu and it was all delicious. The different chicken currys, nann bread, deserts etc. we're all great. A dinner buffet of authentic Indian food for $16.99 is a great deal and well worth it!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION! 💯“

“Fantastic food Great service. I had called the restaurant about handicap accomodations. He kept a table that made me sit comfortably. Vinod owns the restaurant. He treats everyone with kindness. Will go again. Mrs.B?“

“i just tried nehari ,Mutton biryani and beef behari kabab today and everything was super delicious, even my kids love the food,and also their service is super fast and nice.100%recommended“

“Stopped by Mehrab on Devon for a South Indian fix. Ordered the Cheese Dosa and Upma. The dosa was crispy with a generous cheese filling, and the upma had a comforting, homey taste. Spent around $30 and left full. Only downside: the service was a bit slow, and the place could use a little sprucing up. Still, the food hits the spot—worth a visit if you're in the area.“

“Rolled into Bawarchi around lunchtime with about $25 to spare and grabbed the chicken 65 and a veggie dosa combo. Food hit the spot—flavors were dope, staff was chill, though the seating area felt a bit basic and not super cozy. Portion size was solid, I even packed leftovers. Hit it for a casual lunch fix—just wish the vibe was a bit more polished. Still gonna swing back.“

“Everything about JK is good!“

“Cute sit down South Indian vegetarian restaurant along Dempster Street. We shared the South Indian Combo with masala dosa, ghee upma, vada, and idli served with sambar and chutneys. One of best dosas I’ve ever had. The gulab jamun dessert was hot, fresh, and sweet. Highly recommend and looking forward to exploring more of the large food menu.“

“Authentic taste, great portioning, clean, and simple. I had tasted such good Desi food only back home on grand occasions like weddings etc. This guy is simply magical. I tried Tala gosht, allo Qeema, and Aaloo Palak.... everything was awesome. And he has a good list of vegi choices too. Definitely going back.“

“Very good experience Enjoy“

“Just had a lunch at Arya Bhavan and it was chef’s kiss perfect. Went with the chole bhature combo—big, fluffy bhature and spicy, hearty chole. Also had a masala chai to wash it down. Everything was vegan, gluten-free, and packed with flavor. The vibe is low-key, the staff is super friendly, and the food is fresh and satisfying. If you’re craving real-deal Indian without the dairy, this spot’s a must-try.“

“What can you say? Best Indian food in Chicago (hands down!) and for a price that wont leave you broke (can add a little extra Aloo Gosht but thats neither here nor there lol). All of the staff is always friendly, ready to assist in making your experience great! I always go for the Samosas to start (Meat or Vegetarian ??) Aloo Gosht (not too spicy pero soy Mexicano I'm not shy either ??), Rice Pilaf, Naan/Parathas (Butter/Garlic ??) and a Mango Lassi (or two ????‍♂️‍➡️) and my day is cancelled after (laying down with leftovers). I have been going there for my birthday for years and it is a tradition I don't intend on stopping. If I could have Hema's everyday I wouldn't complain shoutout to the family holding it down for their culture's flavor. ?? “

“Food is delicious home feeling.. Prices are affordable.. Daal with plain rice is my personal favorite And chicken boti ��“

“No frills, solid Hyderabadi fare! We tried the Chicken biryani and the goat haleem. Both were great! One of the best haleems I have had so far!! Also, don't forget getting some piping hot, amazing chai while you're waiting for your food! Will be back for more.“

“We stopped by and decided to try the chicken thali.
. It’s Zabihah Halal and the red chicken was really nice and so was the khatti dal and the fresh yogurt, Puri etc.
The zaffrani chai at the end was delicious. Would come back again“

“Great Experience!!!! Decent sized portions at a decent price and the staff was very respectful and friendly!!!! I will definitely put it on my agenda to go back even if I have to make special 2 hour trips from my house a couple times per year for that experience!!!! For many years in the early 1990’s I worked at Moti Mahal on Belmont for the Sikand family and while I have never found any Restaurants Chicken Makani as good as ours was when cooked by Chef Nano but Trilokah put a different spin on their version with a sauce probably not as sweet but while watching ones sugar that is good and this version had so much meat and I Loved That in an era currently where many restaurants try to cheat you on meat and add extra vegetables - I actually got a dish better than what I had hoped for! Just Awesome!!!!“

“The food is BEYOND DELICIOUS❣️“

“Uru Swati management team has unmatched expertise on your catering services. With the best quality of tasty food delivery they also highly qualified and educated staff members. No one can beat their Service, Quality and competitive The Best price in the “

“I had the pleasure of dining at Rivaj, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a fantastic evening. The service was top-notch - they were attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. But the real star of the show was the food. Oh, the food! Every dish we ordered was expertly prepared, presented, and bursting with flavor. We started with the Paneer Pakora, which was crispy, spicy, and addictive. For my main course, I opted for Malai Kofta, which was cooked to perfection and literally melted in my mouth. And don't even get me started on the Carrot Halwa - it was the perfect sweet treat to cap off the meal. What truly impressed me, though, was the attention to detail and commitment to quality that Rivaj embodies. From the freshly baked bread to the carefully curated wine list, every aspect of the dining experience has been thoughtfully considered. If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience, look no further than Rivaj. I'll be back, and soon! The highlight is exceptional service, outstanding cuisine, cozy atmosphere.“

“I had dinner with my friends and it was also my first time trying Indian food. Rice was refilled and the chicken was well cooked , also the sauce was delicious. I got the Tikka Masala chicken and also the Garlic Pita , you can deep the pita in the sauce.. delicious 🤤

I recommend this place 100%“

“Mutton Biryani and Haleem are theee best foods i had here. No Air conditioner or ambience at all. I suggest a ToGo.“

“Best restaurant on devon 👀“

“Very authentic and reasonably priced for quality“

“The food was very goooood! And customer service was excellent! I would definitely recommend this place on any given day😊“

“Stopped by Delhi Darbar Kabab House for dinner and dropped about $25. Went with the Chicken Boti and a side of garlic naan. The chicken was juicy and packed with flavor—perfectly charred on the outside, tender on the inside. Naan was soft and pillowy, just the way I like it. The vibe is low‑key but welcoming, and the staff made me feel right at home. If you're in the mood for authentic Indian and Pakistani eats, this spot's a must.“

“Paya and Kashmiri Chai is outstanding“

“One of the best food place“

“Great ambience and Nihari/ mix grill are awesome !!“

“Firstly I want to say thank u for the best service ever and the price of meal is crazy 11$ only tbh they are doing very good job at this period of time hats off to the owner it self

Now comig to the customer service mostly employee are friendly nature doing his work with smile on the face and make customer laugh by selling deserts in unique Hyderabadi typical style 🫡😁

Must visit to the restaurant if u live in Chicago or you visiting chicago don’t miss at all 🙌

EAST OR WEST TAWAKKUL IS THE BEST 👏☝️“

“The food was excellent with so many flavors, the chicken we had was spicy but I’m sure you can ask for it without the spicy sauce. The lentils and spinach were so tasty and it was the best naan I’ve had anywhere. The waiter was kind and helpful with helping us pick our dishes. The inside of the restaurant is spacious and clean. Bring the family or friends.“

“Amazing biryani . Our server Rafee was awesome“
