Found this place after we attempted to go to a Thali restaurant that was undergoing repairs. We had low expectations but were very pleasantly surprised. Place was clean and we were quickly greeted at the door and seated. Menu is not huge but there were enough choices for us. Picked garlic naan, butter chicken and beef kabobs. Naan was delicious and order contained 4 large pieces. Butter chicken was outstanding and a little spicy but very tasty. Kabobs were 2 gigantic logs of spicy beef which were covered with raw onion slices. Butter chicken didn't come with rice but we ordered white rice which also was a very large portion. Service was good. Took home enough food for 2 days! read more

Food was amazing, Ambience was great, clean. Service top notch with a great smile and super friendly

I went here with my family, the food and service was outstanding! The manager and waiter were always there when something was needed and asking if our food was good. I've ate there a couple of times and the food has always been good. Definitely a spot you should add to your bucket list to try. read more

I have been to Devon a million times but this is my first time posting a review. I ordered takeout but from what I could see the restaurant was clean, and casual. The service was friendly and fast. I ordered mutton biryani, seek kabob, butter chicken, palak paneer, and naan. The biryani was more of a pulao (not Sindhi/Karachi style you get most other spots on Devon). It was heavy on cardamom, not soggy at all and I loved it. The butter chicken had just the right balance of creaminess and spice. There was this unique flavor to it, it had depth, it wasn't just cream. The seekh kabob (or maybe the whole meal?) came with 2 chutneys, one green and one yellow one. I'm used to the green one (mint - and thick not watered down) and the yellow one was so unique and different, it almost had south Indian flavors and it was so delicious! The yogurt sauce had perfect little shredded carrots, and maybe some other vegetable in it. Again, they did not water it down like other restaurants do, it was thin, but still remained creamy. Lastly the standout for me was the naan: it was enormous, had the perfect texture: crispy at the edges, pillowy soft in the middle. It's evident that everything here is made from scratch. Im so excited I found a spot that takes a lot of pride in their food. read more

I tried the Tandoor Tikka Boti Roll/Wrap for lunch today because my coworker recommended it. It was prepared very nicely and quickly - 15 minutes. Tandoor Tikka Boti Wrap was super yummy and flavorful! Definitely recommend this spot for a tasty lunch or dinner. 5/5 read more

Good food, got the platter with everything they have, and everything was fantastic. The Irani tea is very good.

I went there day before yesterday and I asked him to suggest me with the goat so I did go with goat biryani and it was soft and good not too much flavorful and not spicy at all but the guy told at the register asked me how was it and I told him the honest answer and he told me he will make sure it's spicy next time I when I come read more

This was my first butter chicken experience and I can't rave about it enough! Other dishes we shared were the tandoori chicken and vegetable fried rice - all great. Friendly service too. We will return. read more

Amazing food in little india! As a someone intimidated by unfamiliar culture. The service here is super nice. I saw a group of uncles going in and I instantly knew this place was going to be good. Then, I saw two guys eating a big bowl of chicken stew. Hence, I ordered the chicken kadai and king kabab platter. The platter had toasted chicken and a couple kinds of kebas along with bread. The price is truly affordable also. On Fridays, I saw they have a buffet. Ummm yea... I'm going to try that too! read more

The worst food I have eaten in Devon. Do they know how beef Bihari kabab tastes like?! They served burnt beef. Tasted like old meat. I am so disappointed that I went there. Never going back. read more

This was just a random restaurant that we picked one night, and it was decent. I got their special - goat trotters, and my only complaint was the completely lack of meat. Everything was great flavor-wise, but the lack of any substance meant I needed to stop at another restaurant to get something else. The chapati was great, and the service was polite. The restaurant was empty when we went in, but everything was clean and smelled great. read more

We were nervous walking into this place because it was practically empty, which is a bad sign for me that a restaurant isn't great. However, I was completely wrong! The food here is delicious, the meat is tender, and satisfying. We ordered butter chicken, with amazing naan, chicken biryani, and the kabab king combo platter. It was more than enough food for 5 people. I would definitely come back! The service was great. Also, when we left, the restaurant was completely packed. We must have just walked in on an odd time. Lastly, this is definitely Hyderabadi food. read more

Just had dinner here, excellent butter chicken, great garlic naan. Highly recommended.

Did a carry-out from Kabab King Grill and deeply regret it. The mutton biryani was just bones and foul-smelling meat -- clearly spoiled. The beef fry frozen meat was overcooked, refried, and had a burnt, inedible taste. Horrible and disgusting tasteless dishes. read more

Hadn't been to Devon since I used to regularly visit with my father back when I lived in Chicago. It's changed (Viceroy is long gone) but it hasn't in that walking into a random restaurant based on the other clientele still results in a good to great meal. Walking past this odd set up (looks like two different narrow restaurants when looking in) I saw men on one side, women on the other. It wasn't official, but seemed pretty Muslim and no one was Gora so I popped in. I made an error in judgement based on the name and had some really good kababs. The mistake was not waiting and observing before ordering, these two different groups of South Asian women were clearly enjoying the Kadai chicken, and that's the dish that makes this place truly great. It's an ugly duckling of a restaurant but the service is good by Indo Pak standards but the ambiance and service really don't matter when this sort of highest excellence in Kadai chicken is here. It's halal. read more

Kabab King Grill - Mutton Dum Biryani - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you like spicy food then please avoid this place. Chicken boti and butter chicken was tasty but Haleem was sweeter compared to other restaurants i have tried. Ambience is ok and service was good. If you crave for spicy Indian style food then this is not the right place. Overall it was good experience. read more

So we Recently drove by the neighborhood and thought we gave this place a try. Ordered the chicken biryani, tandoori chicken and the zeera rice. Took it home opened it and lo and behold A BLEEPING COCKAROACH IN THE CHICKEN BIRYANI!!!! Like WTF?? We called and told the worker there about the incident and they pretty much played dumb and denied anything to do with it. We ended up throwing it all in the trash and wasted about 50 bucks of food....DONT EAT HERE the place it's just filthy... read more

Best food on Devon. The chicken 65 is art. I would also suggest the butter chicken with some chapati. Service is great. Real ones know to get the chai too. read more

Came in on a not very busy Friday night with some friends. Plenty of seating available as it's winter and Chicago and peak Omicron season, but they will allow dine in. We ordered Mutton Dum Biryani, White Kadai Chicken which is one of their specials, Chicken tikka (not pictured because it was delicious and I forgot lol), and 3 parathas. The first to arrive was the chicken tikka which fair warning is on the spicier side, but teeming with flavor. The edges that were crispy were my favorite part, and the chicken itself wasn't too dry. Next came the Kadai chicken which we ate with fresh parathas. The steaming parathas drizzled in ghee coupled with the fresh Kadai chicken really made this whole experience even better considering that it was 10 degrees out. Kadai chicken was probably my favorite dish, just so creamy and the chicken pieces are nicely marinated too. If it's your first time here, it's a must order. Last but not least, the mutton biryani just topped the meal of nicely. I do wish they added more mutton pieces but that's just me being picky. Overall amazing meal. They were unfortunately out of Haleem that day otherwise I really wanted to try that. But definitely will come back again. Thank you! read more

Kabab King Grill - Kabab King Combo Plater - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Kabab King Grill is hands down one of my favorite spots on Devon. It's a smaller locally owned hole in the wall type casual restaurant serving Pakistani style cuisine. Every time I've been, the food has been amazing. Most recently, I tried the Kabab King Jr. Combo platter which was one of the best grilled kababs I've ever had. The kababs came out perfectly grilled and were absolutely delicious. We also ordered the kadai chicken, which like it's namesake comes served in a kadai. This was also delicious and came out very fresh. My major complaint about this place is the customer service, which can be very hit or miss. When the crowds are small here, the customer service is good, but once there's a crowd, the service and wait times become really poor. Regardless, I would highly recommend trying this place out! Definitely a gem on Devon. read more

Really delicious food at affordable prices, made fresh and lovingly prepared. I've only had one dish here but it was much better than I've had elsewhere so I can't wait to return to have it again and try other things too. The chicken fried rice was perfect - not too greasy, great flavor, right amount of salt, meat was perfect. Huge portion - enough to eat as a single meal after fasting, and still have some for lunch. Or big enough to share for two. I didn't think i had the dish until the end of the meal when I recalled I had an inferior version elsewhere but it was so greasy and bad I didn't even think of them as the same thing in my memory at first. Soul food for sure - the owner is a great guy and you can taste the craft and love he puts into what he makes. read more

Good food and service I loved the beef paratha roll. Biryani was good but I don't like the cardamom flavor read more

We were invited to try out this restaurant. Our waiter was very kind and helped us navigate the menu. He suggested menu items that suited our tastes. To be honest every single thing that we ordered was wonderful! I really like spicy food but my husband does not. We were able to share each other's food and loved sampling the sauces that they gave us. I can't remember which bread had the garlic and cheese on it, but definitely order that one! Loved it. Our service was great too. Definitely recommend you try it. We will be going back. read more

I had worst experience here it's my second time I got food from here, very unprofessional The first time I ordered food he said it will take 30 minutes then when I called to ask if the food is ready he is like 20 more minutes I waited 20 more minutes thinking some times it can take longer I called after 20 minutes same excuse it will take 30 more minutes are you serious, i wanted to give them a try again and I called yesterday to order food he said 45 minutes I waited 1 hr gave them 15 extra minutes when I called them the same excuse I waited outside close to 2 hours Food is good when you go on a weekend but other days it's not fresh, I have learnt my lesson never going back again no matter how good the food is ,they should know time is money and should learn to respect time and customers read more

I ordered butter chicken, chicken biryani, fish fry and paratha. All the food was very good and flavorful. The fish was very spicy, but it could be that this Hispanic girl is just a weeny. The butter chicken was the star. Heads up if you're ordering out the dishes do not come with rice luckily I had the biryani. The biryani was very good too. That's one thing that irks me about businesses that don't set dishes up with rice as obviously a dish like butter chicken you must eat with rice. Just a suggestion to the business to throw the rice in and raise the price by a dollar or something. read more

We picked this restaurant randomly on Devon Ave. The food was amazing. Each dish had a unique flavor. Never thought I will taste the taste of India in this restaurant. This is the place where everyone has to go if they visit Chicago and crave for real Pakistani/ Indian food. Sorry couldn't take pic, I was enjoying every bite of the food. read more

I came tonight with my son and we ordered goat dum Briyani, butter chicken, chicken kebob tikka, garlic naan. Garlic naan was excellent. Butter chicken didn't taste anything like butter chicken I am used to. It tasted sand looked like missing tomato. It wasn't bad but not really butter chicken. Chicken kebob was very spicy. Goat biryani was good but not real specatuar. I give four stars bc disappointed based on how people reviewed. Next time I come will try more grill items. Also naan and Briyani was enough to serve four. We had plenty left overs. Chicken tikka and butter chicken was just enough for both of us read more

This week I had the Mutton Dum Biryani and the Mango Kulfi. The M.D.B. was great. Just the right amount of spice. The kulfi was very good but for five dollars for that size is a little high. read more

For the price, the food is worth it. for $19.99 you get an combination of different variety of grilled meats, from Chicken malai kabob, seekh kabob, tandoori grill, and bihari kabob. The meat is tender, the seasoning is excellent, and the char flavor is delicious. Make sure you get the chopati! It is a great accompaniment to the meat. read more
