Bhel Puri
Elaine D.

Service was spectacular! Food was piping hot and absolutely delicious--much needed for a chilly Chicago winter evening. I ordered the Bhel Puri and the Vegetable Soup. Highly recommend both dishes! The Bhel Puri is served cold with a nice kick of spice, making it a fun little appetizer! The soup was mostly a broccoli flavor with cabbage, but I really enjoyed it. My only complaint was the price, as the vegetarian entrees were $16 and up for small portions...

Chicken Madras, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan
Mary M.

Always on the hunt for delicious Indian food and oh man does Gorkha Kitchen deliver. Delicious chicken madras and butter chicken. Garlic naan is to die for. As you can see, we couldn't wait to dive in before snapping a pic. This food smells just as delicious as it tastes. Delivery made for a delicious meal at home

I live in a small foodie town so I enjoy it when I get to a big foodie city. I am visiting my daughter in Chicago and the first day here she recommended Gorkha Kitchen for lunch. There are so many small neighborhood restaurants here but she promised me this is one of the best (it's in Lakeview). The vibe was laid back with the owners being very welcoming. I ordered the Chicken Madras and she ordered the Lamb Korma and needed it gluten free, which isn't always easy to navigate. Surprisingly, they were on top of it all and answered all her questions with ease. The real surprise was the food! My Madras was superb, a perfect mix of spicy and savory. The homemade naan was fantastic, light and buttery. She said her Korma was great....as always! The servings were a healthy size so I continued my feast a few hours later in her condo. The menu has something for everyone and anyone who needs gluten free options needs to go here. This was my first but definitely not my last time visiting them. Thank you Gorkha Kitchen!

Great little hole in the wall with a sampler option to choose 2 different curries. It was my partner's first time trying Indian food and both of us enjoyed it. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and cozy, and the staff is very kind and accommodating. I was very happy with the entire experience and will definitely be coming back again. Next time, I'm going to try their Momos. *safe for nut allergies*

Tandoori Chicken

Omg I can't believe I hadn't reviewed this place yet!!!! Part of me wants to keep this place a secret bc it's so good... but they definitely deserve to be PRAISED. Where to begin?! We lived right around the corner from this place for almost a year before we finally ordered take out one night and, man... I just wish I'd done it sooner!! Literally would probably be my biggest regret on my deathbed. (I've lived a pretty fortunate/sheltered life, I know.) Anyway, they specialize in Nepalese/Indian cuisine and 99% of my orders have been AMAZING. Just... AMAZING. (They don't do vindaloos well, but maybe bc it's a southern Indian dish?) One of their specialties is butter chicken and honestly I have never had a better butter chicken in America. It is creamy, rich, and the garam masala and cumin are so well balanced and beautifully so. A lot of places don't get this right and it's sometimes too cumin heavy or there's too much acidity, but not Gorkha's. Their butter chicken's acid and fats are perfect. We also love their Lamb Biriyani and Lamb Saag!! My bf used to LOVE ordering Palak Paneer at Indian restaurants but it didn't love him back, to put it mildly. (And for good reasons, since the combination of spinach and cheese is terrible for digestion.) Their Lamb Saag is now his go-to dish. It packs a little baby heat which only makes you eat more lol. Their Tandoori Chicken is a hit or miss. Sometimes it's pretty dry, but I've also had it when it was juicy and tender; dry or not, it's still seasoned and charred to perfection. We will never go to another Indian restaurant in Chicago for as long as Gorkha exists. Although, I may need to find a restaurant with bomb Lamb Vindaloo...

Chicken Biryani, Raita and Naan Bread-05/2023
Christina S.

This has to be one of the top most flavorful and best chicken to rice ratio of Chicken Biryani in the City of Chicago that I have had so far! I ordered delivery and all items were generous in portion-size, arrived at appropriate temperature levels and were carefully packaged. Delivery was super fast. Would order again in a heartbeat!

Butter chicken, lamb korma, samosa chat, Chicken Fried Momo, garlic naan
Steve A.

Had takeout delivered by Doordash. Very good Butter Chicken and Korma. I would get vegetable Korma rather than Lamb Korma next time, as the lamb wasn't noteworthy. A fried version of Chicken Momas was unusual and also good.

Well, we did it. Another successful year walking in the Pride Parade. We had a blast! But it ended and we were starving. Luckily this place was literally right at the end of the parade. They didn't even flinch when the 4 of us walked in in rainbows and sweat and sat us with LOTS of water (thank you). We had vegetable samosas, chicken pakora, paneer pakora, chicken vindaloo, shrimp biryani, fish curry, chicken saag, poori and tandoori naan. I mean, we were hungry. Everything was super yum. Service was amazing. My only regret was not trying some of the varieties of momo. Another table got some and they looked delicious. Would definitely recommend!

Lamb Biryani
Jinny C.

Had delivery from here on a whim and can't wait to go for a visit! -chicken momo: was excited to try momo for the first time and it was still juicy after being delivered! Good flavors that were different to other dumpling variations -lamb samosa: very meaty, but wish it had some other spices or flavors -butter chicken: delicious, can't complain -lamb biryani: great portion and delicious flavors that balance each other well

We always get their Samosa Chaat, Gobi Manchurian, and Keema Samosa to start. If you enjoy some spice, the Samosa Chaat is the way to go. Its flavorful, spicy, and creamy. We also got their Chicken Tikka Masala. They give you a generous amount of food and rice so be prepared to have some leftovers. It's always very clean and beautifully decorated inside, with cute pillows and art. Definitely recommend trying out Rangoli Kabob the next time you're craving Indian food!

I am more a fan of the seafood from the northern recipes ...like Tandoori shrimp. Admittedly I was killing time until the Michael Blaustein show and doors opened at the Vic... so figured I should grab dinner at some point since coffee and a bagel had been it since 11am. I ordered the equivalent of a spicy giant samosa (Dosa) for $15... its an appetizer. Server took it to mean an entree of Chicken Tikka Masala. Jasmine rice and a giant saucer of sauce. Mediocre.. lots of sauce and about 6 chunks of chicken. Suspect it may have been canned and at $18 not worth it at all. Pretty annoying and underwhelming TBH. They didn't fix it either so no tip and shorted them 4 cents by just leaving $20 cash. Not ever again. Maybe other memu things are better but what the gentrification Belmont. . My old inner goth ass was stomping away... indignant. I can and have made this myself in 10m. So im feeling this was SO not worth it.

Seats and tables are comfortable and service is quick with attentive servers. All of their cocktails were unique, beautiful, and flavorful. -Gulabo (left): was a light and refreshing vodka cocktail super cute and pink -Pink Palace (right): mezcal that will make your heart melt, especially after trying the raspberry salt coated rim -Hari Pari: Reaallly good, I don't like gin so I subbed for vodka and I was very pleased -Let's Get Tammered: My husband was obsessed with the heat from this one -Punjab da sher: Husband loved this as well The dinner menu was a great sampler of what the restaurant has to offer and honestly we loved everything that we tried. Star of the show would have to be the fish basant, super crispy and with a little bit of heat. The vindaloo pork belly tonkatsu was so well cooked and crispy on the outside but light on the inside. Make sure to order garlic naan on the side, we wish we ordered a second portion to take home that's how good it was. Definitely check them out, it's being added to the rotation for us.

I had the J'adore 75 cocktail which had vodka, Prosecco, lychee and hibiscus served as a martini. I was nervous it would be too sweet but it was perfect. I ordered the sheet roasted cauliflower for an appetizer and had the vindaloo curry with braised lamb and asked they make it spicy. Usually when I've gone to Indian restaurants they don't make it spicy enough but Kama made it spicy! My friend had the paneer tika masala that she said was really good. Each entree came with a side of basmati rice. We also ordered garlic naan for the table that was very tasty. We went to Kama on a Saturday night so it was busy but our food came out quick. Laura surprised us with a birthday dessert for the table that was a kulfi dou ice cream that was flavored pistachio and had a blueberry chutney. I've never had that kind of ice cream before it was very unique. They also brought out lit up candles so we were able to sing Happy Birthday.
