“Fantastic food and service! Have been a few times, and it never disappoints!“

“goodNESS this is a phenomenal meal. you are bombarded with delicious scents the minute you walk in, and it’s such a cozy intimate space, beautifully decorated. we had the samosas (excellent), chicken 65 (incredible), kofta makhani (divine), and the dhanteraz lamb biriyani (may have changed my life). even the garlic & onion naans were wonderful. drink-wise, i think every table had mango lassis, and this is correct. we also shared a cup of the saffron coffee, which was the creamiest & best coffee i can imagine. i’d be remiss not to mention the beautiful service we got from victoria—she was amazing and really put a lovely bow on our gorgeous meal. can’t wait to return!

Parking: roscoe parking is what it is. we found one a couple blocks away and considered ourselves supremely lucky.“

“Food was wonderful. A great addition to the neighborhood and highly recommended. Get in here“

“Amazing“

“Great little hidden gem for Indian cuisine. live the Chai tea options. hazelnut espresso Chai was especially, delicious 😋“

“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.“

“I chose this restaurant because it was close to our hotel, highly rated, and within our budget. When we arrived (party of 3), the sign said “Open,” but there was no music - just an Indian drama playing quietly on the TV behind the bar. Three people stood at the counter, but it wasn’t clear if they were staff or customers. No one greeted us. The space felt cluttered and bare at the same time: six empty tables with lightly used tablecloths, a tall table with a silverware caddy and a pile of untidy napkins, and a bar strewn with boxes, papers, and menus. We stood awkwardly until I picked up what I hoped was a menu for my party to review while we waited. Eventually, two people left, and the remaining man asked, “How many?” and motioned for us to sit. He brought over two more menus and three lukewarm waters—two lightly carbonated, one tap. No other customers arrived during our visit.

We ordered chai, palak paneer, lamb curry, garlic naan, and tandoori chicken. Given the minimal service and odd atmosphere, we weren’t sure what to expect. But when the food arrived - brought out by a woman who materialized from the back and the same gentleman who had seated us - we were immediately impressed by the presentation. Plates and silverware seemed like an afterthought, as both servers retrieved them from different areas after the food was already on the table. Still, the food blew us away: rich flavors and generous portions. It may have been the best Indian food I’ve ever had. I had to ask for more water, but the attendant returned promptly with a pitcher. I thought they had forgotten my chai, but it was served after we finished eating. Then came the surprise ending: the man returned to ask for my name and number, explaining they’d send a payment link later.

If the space had more intentional ambiance — some background music, clearer service, a tidier setup—it would’ve been an easy 5-star experience. Nevertheless, I’d still highly recommend this restaurant for the food alone. It's a hidden gem in need of polish.“

“Phenomenal! My tastebuds exploded with pure joy from the well balanced spices! Spices we’ve never had amazed my family! 1000% recommended! Kelly was an outstanding Server!!“

“Food was delicious and our waiter (Jaden) was friendly and attentive. We had the samosas to start, the fish basant, chicken makhani (my personal fav), and the side of yellow dal. Desert of the cheesecake was great as well. Plenty of left overs between 2 people. Will definitely be back!“

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

“Rangoli has the best lamb vindaloo I’ve had in the city! My wife and I tried this for the first time and were really impressed. She had the chicken tikka masala and loved it.

The service was excellent and the prices were fair. Portions are quite large.

We will definitely be back.“

“Delicious food nice atmosphere friendly service.“

“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.“

“This has to be the best Indian Restaurant i’ve had. The service and food was exceptional, thanks to Ricky. Everyone there was so polite and welcoming.“

“the lamb with spinach, mushrooms and potatoes was so delicious! Vegetable vindaloo was pretty good, but asked if there were green peas and was told no. There were a LOT. the garlic Naan was delightful“

“Absolutely freakishly delicious. Mayuresh suggested Dahi Puri; little bursting bites of heaven in your mouth. Kheema roll was fantastic with yummy red chutney, perfect. And samosa chaat is like an Indian version of chilaquiles; repurposed deliciousness.
Tiny so not a TON of atmosphere but cute and I love anywhere with incense.
Fantastic late night food. Great find!
Note: It’s down the street from their wonderful sister full-service restaurant, Abba. Not a coincidence! Same owners.“

“The service was prompt and the meal was excellent. We got the Chicken Korma and tried Goat for the first time. Extremely flavorful!“

“The food was terrific! The owners are so friendly!“

“Authentic Flavors and Warm Hospitality at Gorkha Kitchen

We had an absolutely delightful experience at Gorkha Kitchen in Chicago. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth by the owner, a lovely lady whose friendly nature set the tone for the entire meal.

We ordered the Chicken Kadhai, Chicken Noodles, Roti, and Masala Tea, and every single item exceeded our expectations. The Chicken Kadhai was bursting with rich spices and tender chicken, perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful, which came with a side of Rice. The Chicken Noodles were another standout—generously portioned, packed with vegetables, and just the right amount of heat. The Tandoori Roti was soft and fresh, ideal for scooping up the flavorful curry. And the Masala Tea? Comfort in a cup—aromatic, soothing, and the perfect end to a hearty meal.

One of the highlights was definitely the portion size—you get great value for your money. They take pride in both their food and their hospitality. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy, made even better by the personal attention from the owner, who made sure we were well taken care of throughout.

We’ll definitely be returning to Gorkha Kitchen and recommending it to friends. If you’re looking for delicious Indo- Nepalese cuisine with a personal touch, this place is a must-visit.“

“Always has been and always will be the best Indian food in the city. Chicken Korma is to die for. The chicken is sooo tender and the sauce is creamy and delicious. Would always recommend dining in over delivery- prices are much cheaper and the service is fast“

“We had an absolutely delicious dinner enjoyed by our whole family. Chicken curry. Vindalo shrimp. Naan. Veggie samosas. I would love to eat here again.“

“My wife and I went there for the date night special and it was fantastic. We aren’t really big Indian food fans, but we definitely liked what we tried and would definitely go back again.“

“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.“

“Amazing service, food, and experience. Can't wait to share this with my boys next time.“

“Have been there four times in the last few months and the food is really good, prices reasonable, and quantities generous. Made in house dough for the samosas which are fantastic, and excellent naan.

Vegetarian options: Good veggie items!“

“The food is amazing: tasty and healthy. I love it. Thank you for also baking the Masala biscuit for our dinner.“

“Nice service & good & face food“

“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.“

“Tasty food, my son likes it so we go again and again there.“

“Really excellent Indian food. We usually get the same order which we HIGHLY recommend:
1. Chicken Korma
2. Garlic Naan
3. Gobi Manchurian

Butter Chicken is pretty good too, as well as their Tikka Masala“

“This was one of my favorite dinner spots on my recent visit to Chicago - absolutely delicious food, a great ambiance & highly attentive service. Be sure to order the chili cheese kulcha & the Pink City cocktail!“

“Great food, quick service. Spicy means spicy“

“OMG -- familiar to Indian tastes & flavors, but with its own flair! Mustard Chicken pairs great with Naan or Paratha. Nicest owner too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Delicious Mother's Day brunch! The food was amazing 🤩 The chai tea was a little spicy for me but my husband loved it. I preferred the savory foods over the sweets but all were great. The service was fantastic as well. The staff was so kind and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“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?“

“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.“

“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“

“The most amazing food and service“

“Being an old Irishman, I wasn’t sure Indian food was an option for a family dinner. Adda Restaurant in Little Italy proved me wrong. They were kind and most helpful in choosing entrees. My family was excited and blown away with the flavors, the options, the spices and the quality of the chefs entrees. Thank you for your help and we will be sure to become regulars.“

“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.“

“They have the most amazing staff. I am completely addicted to their delicious food!! I am already craving my next order! You just can’t go wrong with anything on their menu, but my favorite is the Tiki marsala and garlic nan-bread. GLORIOUS’ !!! We got carry out!!!“

“Will start off by saying the service is great, staff is super friendly and the food was prepared really fast. For the French Market the price is also great! If you're a vegetarian this place will have the most amount of options for you. That being said, food is pretty average. The flavors are pretty toned down for an Indian restaurant but I still thought it was tasty, this is most noticeable in the samosas. I also found the saag paneer really watery. I will say I am impressed with the paneer itself though.“

“The food never disappoints. Been a customer for years!“

“Lots of food for the price and the chicken dishes had lots of Chicken will eat there again“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very good experience Enjoy“

“Amazing service, food, and experience. Can't wait to share this with my boys next time.“
