    Mutton Dum Biryani Palak Paneer Butter Chicken Beef Seekh Kabab Garlic Naan

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Mutton Dum Biryani

    Another gem on Devon St! The Mutton biryani here is absolutely fire-flavorful, aromatic, and perfectly cooked. Must try for any biryani lover!

    The roach in the biryani

    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...

    White Kadai Chicken

    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!

    Lots of options and all delicious. I went here at midnight on a Friday and the place was bustling with large groups of people, but food came right out. Ordered the combo platter and mango lassi. Just make sure you can handle spicy!

I arrive within twenty-one minutes buying only a quarter's worth of time at the parking meter thinking surely that would be enough time to grab my carryout order? Guys, why was I waiting an additional twenty minutes for food when nobody was in this restaurant? I hate when a restaurant draaaaaaags without giving any reasons. Thali shops have literal fast food. Not in the American sense but the foods are as simple as crepes (dosa) served with chutney. The other items would need more time. Curries, biriyani, etc Ordered an onion dosa and a masala dosa. Texture was different from what I'm accustomed to eating. But I'm wanting something similar to South Indian style. The onion dosa contained what looked like a full, medium sized onion. In Southie style it should be pan fried till brown, sometimes incorporated into the dosa or stuffed inside, this was barely translucent. Didn't slap. The masala dosa was mid. Didn't touch much. Hate throwing away food but.. Not wasting the stomach on barely good. Something about the texture of the dosa wasn't... It just wasn't good. One and done. If a restaurant offers dosa, it's gotta be great. Maybe their other foods are better?

I heard they made great Chicken Biryani, but unfortunately they were out when I went. Something I don't think is talked enough about though is their chai - the best I've had in Chicago.

    It is difficult to find the exact words to tell you how much I love Ghareeb Nawaz…read more We live in a world where a burger and fries at a fast food joint costs somewhere around $10. Some focus on Instagram-ability instead of quality, and others dump a man versus food size portion in front of you in an effort to show "Hey! Look! vAlUe!!" while the quality is AWOL. Ghareeb Nawaz delivers across the board. The portions are massive, enough for three-ish lunches, even if you're perpetually as voracious as I am. The quality is excellent - meats are consistently tender, rice is cooked perfectly, and the spices bloom into the nose, the palate, and the heart. As for value, the $13 realistically comes out to less than $5 per, $3.25 if you aren't as gluttonous as myself. Not only that, cans of soda are $1.50, and the bank machine is also $1.50 (something I haven't seen even 10 years ago). When it comes to the service, it is imperfect, but efficient. There are no unnecessary pleasantries; it is a "hello, what do you want" sort of deal. If you didn't realize it was cash only? The order is placed, here is the receipt, the cash machine is over there. The small change I would offer is to have order numbers (which, I appreciate might be challenging with a cash-only establishment). When items leave the kitchen, the runner yelling out the order can bring up the question 'is this me?' Order numbers would be better. Service like this has to be earned, and I assure you Ghareeb Nawaz has earned it. Final verdict: For an establishment to have a rough-around-the-edges, surly nature and be successful, it has to earn it. I can think of no example more perfect than Ghareeb Nawaz. The quality is top-notch, the value is unmatched, and the nonsense is chucked out the window. Order - pay - devour with glee. What are you doing still reading, set your GPS already!

Together with the skimpy quantity and all boney pieces we were very disappointed. Chicken Kashmiri was of pretty good taste. We ordered a card different naans and some were left uncooked. Goat biryani was simply terrible and very very mediocre to bad taste. We also ordered a chicken kabob and they were so undercooked that we had to call them and we asked about it. They said they would replace it but we were not interested because we were so disappointed. Overall we are very disappointed Go try other options of similar food all around Devon Ave. Bundoo Khan is way overrated and we will not be going there again.
