Food was very tasty. Naan was fresh. Great proportions. Curry is a bit spicy but still very good. They usually give 8 pieces of chicken total. read more

I love my garlic naan and that is the only thing I order here is the bread. Cost is super $2.25 and is made fresh. There is no dine-in and you can only get this to go. Located across the street from Tuscany on Taylor Street. Highly recommend. read more

Very good Indian food especially for the city and at GREAT prices. The garlic naan and paneer butter masala were very good! As well as the samosas. Portions were standard size. Everything was packaged nicely for takeout. read more

Curry on Fire - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is hands down the best Indian dining experience in Chicago. Consistent, and flavorful options. It's a go-to Grubhub weekend order at least every other week. Perfect level of heat. Cannot think of any Indian fare that comes close. Recommend the fried cauliflower dish and black lentil daal. Saag paneer is always a bonus. Don't forget the roti! Awesome experience. read more

This is my favorite spot for Indian takeout in West Loop. I have fond memories as it was one of the first spots we had takeout when we first moved to Chicago two years ago. The staff is friendly and the food is always ready really quickly (15-20 mins) even if you're ordering 8 dishes like I did. The food is always hot and fresh, their garlic naan is amazing, and it feels like a fair price for the amount of food you get. Tonight we had vegetable biryani, two garlic naans, chicken Tikka masala, chettinad chicken, Manchurian cauliflower, dal palak (lentils with spinach), and Hyderabadi Bagaraa Baingan (baby eggplant curry). The chicken tikka masala was delicious and creamy. The chettinad chicken is one of my favorite dishes when I'm in the mood for something spicy. I have a medium heat tolerance and this dish will make me take a breather in the middle of eating. The Manchurian cauliflower is great -- it's breaded cauliflower in a sweet and spicy sauce. Much better than those popular buffalo cauliflower anomalies. The dal palak container was so full it was about to burst. It's creamy and it's a great serving of vegetables and lentils. The Hyderabadi Bagaraa Baingan was really good too - it has a lemony sauce. However it only comes with 2 eggplants. The packaging does a great job retaining heat. The food was piping hot even after walking 15 minutes back to our condo. The garlic naan is wrapped in foil so that's perfectly hot and crisp too. There's street parking on Taylor street and you can leave your blinkers on to pick your food up real quick. Yelp has an option for reservations, but when I went it doesn't look like they have any dine-in options. Would love to dine in here one day. read more

I ordered for pick up. Food was way too spicy. I wrote not to max it spicy and it seems like they don't care. The quantity of meat in the butter chicken is ridiculous, like literally 5 pieces. I wouldn't go back because they cannot follow directions on online orders or provide value for what you pay for or expect. Do better read more

Order takeout from here for dinner overall the food is great! The cauliflower and the samosa are my favorite. So delicious and packed with flavor. The sauces that come with the samosas are great as well. The chicken tikka masala was okay. It tastes like a lot of heavy cream was used and didn't have much flavor. The garlic naan bread is good as well! I would definitely return. Oh...and everything is SPICY! So beware. Good but spicy! Overall ratings: Manchurian Cauliflower 5/5 Keema Samsosa 5/5 Chicken Tikka Masala 3/5 Garlic Naan Bread 4/5 read more

My wife and I tried Indienne for the first time. We had the six course meal and the food was well presented and very delicious. The spice combination worked beautifully. Our server Matt was impeccable. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Our only disappointment was the Manager. He seemed to acknowledge everyone else except for us. The ambiance has a nice cozy vibe. Our window seat was perfect. read more

Curry on Fire - Scallop - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Okay here's the thing. The food is good - it's honestly one of the best Desi joints in Chicago. So why did I give them 1 star? Because they are STINGY as all heck with their rice. My wife is pregnant and craving their food so we've ordered from them at least a dozen times in the last two weeks. They give you a tiny 3oz container of rice to go with 8 oz of Korma. That is annoying and weird but okay, maybe it's their way of getting you to order more. So we start ordering an additional portion of rice and pay for it. So what do they do? They give us the larger portion of rice but then exclude the rice that originally comes with the meal. It wasn't a one time thing either - this has happened multiple times. It's so strange they provide such a poor customer experience over $0.15 worth of product. They're not a budget oriented restaurant mind you, you're paying nearly $20 a meal. Anyway, after my wife's cravings pass - we're not ordering from here again. read more

Food was good and service was kind. Love the wife variety of options. Will be back soon

Hot hot! Both on this incredibly sunny summer day in Chicago and also because this Indian curry restaurant is firing up the UIC Little Italy area. I've passed by this restaurant multiple times on my walks down Little Italy. I decided to finally try this place with a colleague and was pleasantly surprised. Don't let the outside fool you. While it looks small, the restaurant actually opens up with great atmosphere and decor to really compliment your dining experience. We each ordered the Tikka Masala ($15) one with chicken and one with lamb. It comes with a generous helping of curry and steamed basmati rice, while you can choose to add some naan-sense into your life. I went for their garlic naan but was sad to not see any kind of cheese or paneer option available. Oh well! The curry was definitely flavorful and spicy if you ask for that intensity. The spices were prevalent and every sniff of the curry brought satisfaction. Both the curry and the naan tasted great together and should definitely be a combination you explore. Out of the few curry joints in the area, I'd say Curry on Fire beats the competition. Sadly, they don't offer any sort of lunch deals so you'll be spending a similar price regardless of the time you frequent. Hopefully with enough recommenders asking for one they'll be able to change that. read more

Burnt curry!! Beware when u do a Takeout!! We r huge fans of this restaurant. Today was a huge disappointment. We ordered the Madras n Chettinad. The Chettinad was burnt, check out the pix! Theres the mustard seeds n then there were the burnt pieces- probably fr the bottom of the pot. How unprofessional for them to serve burnt curry BC its a takeout. Shame on them! read more

Curry on Fire - Burnt Chettinad, takeout!, maybe thats why. Shame on the cook. - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ordered the malai kofta(slightly sweet) -5/5 And the chicken chettinad - 5/5 Amazing Indian food! Flavors of both the dishes were on point! Will definitely order in from here again. read more

This place is delicious! Some of the best Indian take out I have had. Very glad to have discovered this place. We loved everything we ordered including the lamb biryani, dal, butter paneer masala, and garlic naan. Will definitely be ordering again. read more

The food is delicious and spicy. I would recommend calling ahead of time because the wait is long. no dine in.

My first experience to Curry on Fire was disappointing. The customer service was rude. I requested for an extra condiment and the hostess continue to say no. I requested to pay for the condiment and the hostess asked for $4.00 for a large container. I requested for an extra single serving and not a large serving container. When I asked is he willing to take a bad review. He responded with do what you need to. read more

I ordered a simple yellow dal tadka ,rice and raita For delivery through Uber eats. The order arrived without the raita. I called the restaurant and a lady responded. She did not understand that I did not get the raita as ordered ( $4.00) ( not the little free raita) that she kept calling it. She then told me that I had ordered biryani( which I had not) she then asked for my delivery address, which I promptly gave. shockingly, she denied having received any order from me!! she claimed it must be her other restaurant ( incorrect, as I followed the Uber pick up.) shocked, I just told her I'll never order with them again and hung up. ‍ read more

I absolutely love their butter chicken. It's my favorite thing in the menu. The desserts are fantastic. I have never actually had the chance to sit down at the restaurant and eat that is on my to do list for summer. I always Uber my food from them and it always arrives perfectly at good temperature. The presentation is wonderful. I talked to a team member from there and they were really nice explaining to me the different types of sauces that they provide over the phone. read more

Our friday night regular uber eats order. Very reasonably priced, and food is excellent. Shout out to Madras chicken, chicken 65 and Hyderabadi baigan- so unique! read more

I'm seriously scratching my head on this one. If you believe the rating, CoF is better than its University Village neighbor Taj Mahal. While it's certainly possible for some items, I can assure you in several respects it is anything but! Value for the price paid 1/5 Taste 3/5 (Butter chicken & garlic naan) Portion size 1/5 The portion was barely enough for one serving. My butter chicken consisted of 6 small chunks. I received two pieces of garlic naan. IMO, this is overpriced, average Indian cuisine. Nothing more, nothing less. read more

Extremely Rude Customer Service. TLDR at the end. I had a takeout delivery set to pick up at 12:45. The restaurant opens up at 12:30 and the order was pretty large, so I did not expect the food to be ready by then. When I walked into the store, I asked how long it was going to take. The woman who greeted me said "Your food should be ready 12:45". I was suprised and asked if she was sure and she said "Of course!". However, even at 12:55, there was no sign of readiness. I asked how much longer and was told "just 5 minutes". Once she told me this, I ordered the uber to pick me up 7 minutes after. The food did not arrive on time and I had to ask the driver to cancel the Uber as I would not be able to make it. This was a time sensitive order, and any longer would have set our event back. I had to wait until 1:15 until the food was finally ready. (30 minutes from the initial time she told me the food would be ready) Honestly, I was not as mad at the food being late compared to the woman blatantly lying twice to me about the time. I had to call my supervisor multiple times about possibly delaying the event and had to cancel the Uber. I asked her why she lied to me about the time and to that she had very weak responses. She gave excuses such as "We just opened" (which I addressed if that would cause a delay as soon as I got in the restaurant) and they had everything ready but just needed the bread (which literally makes no sense in this argument). This is the worst part: I did not get a sorry from her at all. She gave me the food, had me sign the receipt, and walk away. I stopped her and asked her, "Am I not going to get an apology?", to that she said "We did the best we could". After she realized how rude that sounded, she gave me a "sorry", which could have not felt any more ungenuine. Her response made me boil in my head, so I decided to write this long winded review. Definetly am not going to visit ever again. TLDR: Lied to twice about when the food was coming out. Had to cancel Uber because of this. Did not get a sorry, but instead excuses from the woman. read more

The food is really good! The portions of rice are very small in comparison to the dishes and should be increased. The garlic naan was so good and very large compared to what I have gotten at other places. You should know...the chicken vindaloo is the hottest thing I have ever eaten and I love spicy foods. This got an immediate reaction out of my husband and me. Very good but we had to stop eating it part way through. read more

Best Indian food I've ever had in my life, and I'm really picky about my food. I'm glad my friend showed me this spot because I'll be forever grateful for this place. I wish they opened inside other than get carry out each time but other than that I give 5 stars. read more

Really good! Only found it because it was around the corner from our Airbnb and it was worth it. Cute place, service is good and prices are too. Would come back for sure. We had the Dahl, Chicken Tiki Masala and butter naan. read more

Good service and great food. Order ahead there is no dine in. Had the butter, garlic nan, & veg samosa. So good.

We've ordered from here off of Uber Eats twice. Our favorite Indian food place we've found in the area so far. The portions are a good size and they are delicious!! I recommend the malai kofta with garlic naan. read more

My husband and I ordered a pick-up order from Curry on Fire one weekend, and the pick-up experience was great but the food was just okay. They had everything ready in about 20 minutes, so that was efficient. But their website has been under construction for months, so I actually had to order based on what other Yelpers had ordered. Not ideal, but I was very desperate for Indian food so I made it work. We ordered the manchurian cauliflower, naan, bhatura, and chicken masala. The manchurian cauliflower was delicious, but everything else was a little lackluster. The bhatura was a little too greasy and the chicken masala was a small portion and didn't even come with rice. I think we spent about $35 or so, and I felt like it was pretty overpriced for what we got (especially no rice!) We have yet to find a good Indian place to frequent, so we might go back just out of convenience. read more

Poor order management and kitchen! The kitchen only started making the order when it was supposed to be ready for pickup! Grubhub support also very poor! read more

Another example of a good thing turning to pure BS! I used to realltly like this place. Their food and customer service was very good when they had opened, so much so that I even had food for an office party catered through these guys. But it has gone to complete shambles now. I ordered food to go. Not only did they not give me an incomplete order, I had to go back to get the rest of my order. The least they could have done is feel apologetic about it. Any good place with decent customer service would have either given a discount or thrown in a small appetizer with the order for free. These guys were callous and absolutely non-chalant about someone putting in unnecessary effort, and that for their mistake. And then comes the ever available excuse, "Its a new management"! Food wise, I used to love their pistachio kulfi but it is basically all food color and no pistachio now. Suggest against it. read more

Food is good. However they told us food would be ready in 20 mins and when we get there the lady who claims "it's her first day today (4/20/23)" wants us to wait 5 mins. We are fine with that. But the problem is 1 hour later she still hasn't given us the food. When we said at lest there should be a discount she refused to ever offer that. Who has to wait for their take out food for 1.5hrs?! This business needs to get their ducks in order! So very disappointed read more

1. 40 minutes late to deliver 2. Management so rude 3. Laughable amount of rice provided 4. Everything was cold 5. No customer service read more

Wow! Five stars for the Manchurian Cauliflower, this spicy appetizer blew me away. Perfect crunch with every bite, large or small, I'm thinking these would be great for carry out as well. Nice experience at this small corner spot in the heart of Little Italy. It is small but laid out nicely. We all had the hot tea which was very interesting. Loved the Vegetable Biryani, loved fishing the potatoes out of this fantastic mix of greatness. My son had one of the Lamb dishes which brought some nice heat. Great neighborhood, love the vintage cigar store next door and of course the historic Al's Number One is just down the block. read more

I ordered delivery from Curry on Fire the other day. Hmm... I mean the food was OK. Definitely one of those rare times where Yelp reviews are a bit over-hyped. The food was decent. I had the paneer, which was OK, though I think there should've been more pieces of paneer. The daal makhani was also OK. Breads... butter naan, garlic naan, and paratha, all fine. I wouldn't complain about any of it, but I also wouldn't go out of my way to have it. Good to know about a new delivery option that near the West Loop area. :) read more

Amazing. By the original owners of our old favorite restaurant Rangoli in Humboldt Park, which has unfortunately declined in quality after being sold. It's a small place with only a couple tables, but comfortable and the employees are always friendly. You'll recognize some Rangoli menu favorites like Gobi Manchurian (best you'll ever have). These guys make the best Indian food in Chicagoland, they also have another new restaurant named The Spice Room in Humboldt Park. For our visit to Curry on Fire, we tried the Gobi Manchurian, Veg Samosas, Paneer Butter Masala and Garlic Naan. Everything was fresh, delicious and barely stayed on our plates for minutes. The only food I've had that compares is my mother in law's cooking and food bought in India. Come and try this new place, you won't regret it! read more

I ordered the pick up via phone call. When I arrived, 6 people were at the door to pick up their orders. Waited about 10 min, no one was at the door to give us the food. I called while i was outside, she said that she will be there in a few min. I picked up the chicken biryani and veg samosas. They were just ok. read more

Quality is great but I'm concerned about the prices and whether there'll be enough business to keep it open. For our group of three we ordered three entrees: a dal saag, mango chicken, and a goat dish. Add on, it was three breads (naan, garlic naan, and roti) and an order of plain rice. I thought all the dishes and breads were great but it did come out to $44 before tip. There were some leftovers taken home, but not a lot - maybe a small portion for one? It is on a location that is very close to campus - so I assume rent is high, and I don't think I spotted much under $10 other than the appetizers and maybe the biryani. That there are dining options (Indian and otherwise) nearby under $10 might be a problem. They do seem to be doing some delivery business, but inside there are only 3 tables so I don't think that dine-in alone can keep it afloat. Being from Rogers Park, price concerns me more since I have easy access to similiar quality Indian cuisine at a lower price. read more

The food here is ACTUALLY on fire. A clean, cute space with a ginormous Baahubali 2 poster on the wall - that's how we knew the food was going to be good. I was looking for a Hyderabadi restaurant since there are no good Indian food options in the city and was pleasantly surprised by the food here! It is very spicy, but that should be expected. Servers were very nice and helpful when we asked for suggestions. So happy I found a place that makes Chicken 65 correctly! I will be back. read more

Ambience:3/5 Service:3/5 Food presentation: 3/5 Taste and flavor: 4.5/5 Without doubt, one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the city without having to go to devon. One of the very few places in the city that actually helps with my craving for spicy food. I usually order take out from here, as the restaurant is a small comfy little spot. Pros: -Excellent non vegetarian spicy food. - My definite recommendations include chicken 65, chicken chettinad and madras chicken. It's a delectable combination with the egg fried rice, puri or garlic naan - Quick to prepare and deliver Cons: - Vegetarian specialities do not taste as authentic - Relatively small quantity for the price read more

First time going to this restaurant, we came in with no expectations as we love supporting independent businesses. The restaurant was fairly small with seating for maybe 3 or 4 groups, so depending on the day and hour, the restaurant may be too full and you may not be able to get a seat. The dynamic of this restaurant was a little strange. We were not sure if we needed to seat ourselves or wait to be seated as there is no host/hostess. There isn't really a waiter/waitress either. We ended up awkwardly seating ourselves and waiting, hoping that someone would notice us. After being noticed, someone from the back, presumably one of the chefs came to take our order. The wait time for our appetizers was a little longer than desirable (15min), and no water was given to us while we waited. It is clear that this place is meant to be a restaurant that you order to-go or delivery. In fact, this was the ambiance, just a bunch of food delivery drivers coming in and out picking up food. The food itself was very good. We would not go here to impress, but everything had a home-cooked vibe. Overall, the service was kinda lacking, with the food coming out in waves (another 15min after appetizers and 3 min apart for naan and then rice) as opposed to all at once, and us just standing around waiting to be noticed when we came in. The ambiance is not a place you want to be if you are looking for a nice dinner, but instead maybe a relaxed lunch with plenty of time to kill. In the future, we would order for pick-up as the food was indeed good but we would not dine in due to the lack of service. read more

Curry on Fire - Chicken Tikka. Not necessarily pretty, but it was pretty good. - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The cauliflower Manchuria was great! We ordered an extra one after we finished the first! My family shared the paneer tikka masala, the veg tikka masala and the chicken vindaloo. The vindaloo had a very tasty flavor but it was spicy (I love spicy but it's not for everyone). The masala is a classic Indian curry and tasted as such. Our server was nice enough to give my younger brother a complimentary mango lassi (smoothie drink) which was delicious. The garlic naan was also good. One rice comes with each dish. Additional rice costs extra. read more
