Chana Masala
Steve A.

Because there's so many Indian restaurants on Devon Avenue, it doesn't matter a lot if one is bad. It has plenty more to choose from. Khan BBQ isn't bad, but there's many places that are better though. About the worst that can be said about it is the atmosphere. There's not much to it, so just focus on the food instead. A lot of familiar items are on the menu such as tandoori chicken if you're looking for traditional Indian barbecue. It also has non meat items. The one we got was the Chana Masala. It's about $12 for the vegetarian entrees. These don't come with anything though. Add a few bucks to get naan. Then add a few more to get rice. All of a sudden it doesn't sound like such a good deal here. That's the main reason I can go to many other places to get something quite similar. For quality of the food, it's good. It's not anything better than from many other places you can get to on Devon Avenue from here. The good thing about it is with the meaty and vegetarian items, it's good for groups because there's lots of variety.

I've visited Devon many times growing up but never tried Khan BBQ. I went on Eid day and I honestly was decently surprised by the food. The chicken seekh was my favorite out of everything we ordered (and I am usually not a seekh fan). We also ordered lassis, the goat karhai, beef Bihari kabobs, and an aloo paratha. Service is decent and the food quality is not bad when you're craving Pakistani bbq. I've obviously had way better places but if you're needing a fix, check them out.

I think this is one of the best Pakistani restaurants in Chicago, which is a hidden gem for good Biryani and fresh barbecue made in front of your eyes. when you have such a big player like Sabri nihari, anmol, bundhoo khan this restaurant stands out as a crown for good fresh food except server service. The management has to really work very hard on the service and ambience/atmosphere . If they can improve at the server level i think they can hit big players, I am pretty much sure they can go far long way. They make biryani fresh only on weekends. It's not available on weekdays and I wouldn't recommend any curry item. Just go for the fresh barbecue on any day

It's a good restaurant for someone who is a hardcore barbecue lover; chefs make fresh barbecue. No microwave concept. Everything is made right in the front of your eyes. I recommend just barbecue. Service is average. Don't expect five star serving experience. Just enjoy barbecue and step out.

Bihari kabab

W restaurant. Beautiful cuisine, great service, nice Pakistani joint. Looks a bit hole in the wall, but isn't bad at all. Great prices incredible food

The food here was so nice and traditional! I always come to Devon st and am amazed at the fact that restaurants like this make Chicago feel like home once again. I also really liked the Kashmiri tea they had as it was something new and I really liked the pink color it had. I do wish however though that the staff was more attentive at making sure there was enough water at the table. Also in the seat I was sitting in there was a fan that constantly blowed cold air right on my back which I thought was kind of rude because it made it very hard to be comfortable.

Chicken Chapli Kabab
Mohan C.

Khan bbq is a Devon Ave fixture, with a lot of history. It is one of the oldest Pakistani grills in the area. I finally had the chance to try it recently, and I thought it was solid. First, the interior is a little dinky and the service is ok, but that's to be expected in a restaurant like this. I ordered the chicken chapli kabob, which I felt was solid, but not great or good enough to bring me back. I think the food here is solid, but other places are just as cheap and have better food and better ambiance (kabab king grill for example).

Seekh kababs with condiments
Obie P.

This is an authentic Pakistani / Indian / Halal restaurant. Their food is delicious and they have a large menu. I would recommend their beef seekh kababs and daal fry (lentils). They make fresh naan bread for you while you are there, sams is true for their BBQ items. I was not overly impressed by the interior but the place was clean. I would suggest carry out. That being said I would recommend this place.

Butter chicken
Sarah S.

Khan's BBQ came highly recommended to us by a friend who has been here a billion times. It's not a fancy spot by any means, but they have tasty eats. Food comes out insanely fast! We ordered the Tandoori Chicken (delicious and spicy), Butter Naan (you can't go wrong with this) and Butter Chicken (slight spice but overall just great flavor). Service was iffy when the main guy always hovering over us especially when the check came. He even opened the check right in front of us when he picked it up to see how much we tipped and stood for a few seconds. Awkward. All in all, liked the food here and no issues at all! I'd probably try some new places on Devon next time I'm there.

Aloo Palak, chicken boti and 1/2 tandoori chicken
Alison Y.

Meats are what you come for here and they do it well. While prices may seem high initially, the portions they give are well matched for the prices. They are a solid choice when you're craving Pakistani bbq meats. Meats come with some raita and salad sides (onions, lime, cucumber and some cabbage). Cabbage in the salad mix was a bit untraditional but it worked well enough. Also tried the aloo palak which was a nice way to break up all the meat. It was made well but didn't stand out particularly. Overall, I'd come back to support this local business!

Reasonably priced and tasty food. It would be great if they could provide delivery through DoorDash or Grubhub-like apps.

The Food Tandoori Chicken Breast: Remarkably juicy and tender, avoiding the dryness that often plagues white meat kebabs, with great tandoor flavor. Bihari Kebab: Packed with deep spice, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, and a fantastic smoky char from the grill. Goat Karahi: Rich, deeply seasoned, and perfectly balanced without being overly oily. Sides & Breads:The naan arrived hot, soft, and plump, perfect for scooping up the karahi masala. Even the fries were served piping hot and fresh. The food was so good I didn't even get a chance to take photos before half of the dish was devoured. Service & Ambiance What truly elevated the night was the front-of-house team. We came in during a peak, packed Saturday night rush, and the service was easily the best I've experienced in years. Despite every table being full, the servers operated with remarkable speed and precision--checking in at just the right moments, anticipating refills, and waiting on us hand and foot without a single delay. While the prices sit slightly on the higher side, the exceptional food quality, upscale atmosphere, and unmatched hospitality make it entirely worth it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Pakistani cuisine in a comfortable, polished setting.

Dont get scared by the name - the flavours are perfectly balanced and work with each other. The Signature Grill - the best thing to get when you want to try many things.

My least favorite was the jackfruit biryani that was far too floral for my liking. Overall, the food was good. The service was pretty slow, but they did apologize for the kitchen delays before we left. It was just a bit disappointing to have to ask for more bread twice and still not receive it for around 20 minutes past the second time asking. I wish that the servers were a little more proactive about checking in during the delays. After trying so many menu items, I'd be interested in coming back and getting some of the favorites. I just wish I had an actual sense of portion size since the unlimited gives you painfully small portions of everything (except the biryani)
