    70. Lamb Curry
    Amelia B.

    My Nepal House dining experience exceeded my expectations! Quite a few diners on a Monday night, but was still able to secure a table for two. This is a great spot for anyone with dietary restrictions, as their menu accommodates vegans and vegetarians. There were so many options to choose from. We tried the Vindaloo Chicken, Lamb Curry, and Garlic Naan. Spice levels were all conservative and I'm glad we went with that choice. Great flavor and tenderness on the meats, with outstanding sauces to compliment. Thankful we got the garlic naan because it really completed the meal. I'd go here for a casual date or a bite with a small group of friends. We were seated right by the door so it was distracting at times with the deliveries going in and out constantly, but that's show biz. Nice service. We were served timely and even given extra rice to go with our leftovers. Pricing is great and with two guests we had leftovers from each of the entrees. I shall be back.

    Came here without a reservation the other day around 7:30pm and they seated us promptly. Service was also pretty quick. The interior is clean and well-decorated with cultural music playing. The food was decent. Everything was on the cheaper side ($17-19 per dish) but the naan portion was a little small. I had the chicken tikka masala and it didn't have much of a taste to it, felt bland. My friend got the lamb chili masala and that had a little quick, it was delicious!! Overall: walk-in friendly, relatively affordable restaurant with good lamb chili masala but bland chicken tikka

    Went in a little bit after lunch hour and the restaurant was completely empty. There is plenty of seating and the service there is very nice and fast. There are many options to choose from with varying spice levels. They always have great lunch and takeout deals. The aloo paratha and chili naan were the stars of the show. The food was great for the area; definitely a little pricey but big portions and reliably good

    Man! First time trying Nepalese food and it hit the spot... to the point I wanted to take a nap afterwards. While at work, my coworker ordered from Nepal House and I'm so glad he did. This was a top tier meal and I didn't feel like blubber afterwards, it was great. Experience food and culture I've never experienced is one of my favorite things, to add the cherry on top is when the experience is delicious! This was also my first time trying Mango Lassi... I can't wait to show my family and friends haha I'm hooked. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the vibes of the place because we ordered carry out but I'm sure it felt home-y and comfortable there haha. Thank you Nepal House for the wonderful meal and I can't wait to eat from here again! Personal Review: 8.8/10

    A hidden gem of south loop. Definitely need to try it. The host is so welcoming. One of my favorite Nepalese/Indian food restaurants in Chicago. I highly recommend the Naan, the butter chicken, mango lasso, and Masala Tea here.

    This is a great addition to old town for a wide variety of nostalgic, satisfying dishes. Service is good. I really liked the paneer chow mein which was spicy and flavorful. The chicken momos were hot, fresh, soft and delicious--reminded me of Dehli! The tandoori chicken was pretty dry and lacking in flavor. It was also pretty overpriced for what you get

    A great addition to the neighborhood. Casual mom-and-pop ambiance in contrast to the chic places in the area. Just good solid food. Nothing was too spicy, but it was all flavorful. The entrees took a little while to come out, so they offered us free pakoras, which were welcome and delicious. All the food tasted freshly made. The coconut curry on the fish was especially memorable. Be forewarned that the goat, while tender and flavorful, was on the bony side.

    Stopped in on a Thursday afternoon for lunch. The place was absolutely empty, but did have a couple take out orders being picked up. Service was good, but could have been a little friendlier. The ambiance is set up nicely too and if it had a few more people there it would've felt nicer. We offered a salad to start. The salad itself was fresh but was served with yogurt and chutneys, no actual dressing which we thought was odd because the menu mentioned house made dressing. If it was just going to be yogurt, it should've been noted as such. The tandoori roti was nice, naan was tasty but a bit thick and doughy. The chole and kadhi chicken were both extremely delicious. Everything was prepared fresh and after we were done, we did not feel the food was very heavy as Indian restaurant food can sometimes be. Overall, would go back to try more dishes.

    I ordered online from here and loved it. All the food was good but I'll be coming back just for the dumplings. I never thought of Indian food with dumplings, but it was a hit.

    30. Chicken Choila with beaten rice and cold potato salad. Great meal!
    Doug K.

    Really good spot. I've never had Nepalese food before and really enjoyed trying it. I had the chicken choila and chicken mo mos which the waiter said were two Nepalese favorites. Both were fantastic. The choila came with a cold potato salad and beaten rice. And a lemon to squeeze over the whole thing. It was great to contrast all of the different flavors, temperatures and textures. The mo mo were also great. Fantastic meal. It is a bit pricey. But what isn't nowadays? Highly recommend.

For lunch especially, the quality and portion sizes are amazing for the price. The service was extremely friendly and welcoming. It truly feels like a family-owned restaurant, and the staff consistently checked in on our table to make sure we were enjoying everything. We ordered a variety of dishes. My favorite by far was the chicken tikka masala - rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. The tandoori chicken, however, was just average to me; it was a bit overcooked and lacked flavor. I also really enjoyed the Josh Rogan and the mango lassi, both of which were great. The ambiance is nice and comfortable, but the wait can be quite long, so keep that in mind. Despite the wait, this has become my go-to spot when I'm craving Indian food. Great value, warm service, and mostly excellent food make it worth returning.

    Food is below-average, service is good, and the ambience is bland and unappetizing…read more I am beyond surprised that this restaurant receives such great reviews when there is better Indian food in the city. To start with, my dining companion and I ordered the gobi manchurian, which was delicious. As a native Bangalorean, I take my gobi manchurian seriously, and was quite impressed with Maharaj's iteration (since then, I think they may have removed the Gobi Manchurian from the menu: it was great while it lasted!). My companion and I assumed that the stellar gobi would herald an even more incredible main course, but were quickly proven wrong. The malai kofta was insipid and texturally confusing. The gravy was tasteless and the kofta balls were simultaneously both chewy and crumbly. Listen: I love malai kofta, because as the name suggests, cream is the central ingredient. It is sometimes possible to paper over deficiencies in a malai kofta with extra cream, but alas, that was not the case here. It was close to inedible. The naan tasted like grocery store frozen naan: even Trader Joe's makes better naan. The bhindi masala was oily and not too flavourful. We did not dare order more at that point. On the plus side, our server, whose first day on the job it was, was super sweet. He made sure we were well-looked after, and gave us complimentary masala chai. The chai was lukewarm and overly milky, with little fresh masala. The decor consists of stereotypically Indian art of dubious quality. The seats were comfortable, and the restaurant was filled with South Asian people, which usually bodes well for an Indian restaurant. I continue to be baffled by that. It's entirely possible that it was just a bad day for the chef, but I don't think I want to risk another visit. Overall, as much as I want to support Indian restaurants in the city, I cannot in good faith recommend Maharaj.

    When elevated Indian cuisine meets West Loop polish, Kama Bistro proves it belongs on Randolph…read more I've been to the Wicker Park location before, so this was my first time at the newer West Loop spot--and it absolutely holds its own. In a neighborhood packed with serious restaurant competition, Kama manages to carve out a distinct lane: refined, flavor-forward Indian food that still feels recognizably Indian and approachable. The space is beautiful--dark, romantic, and sultry without being overdone, with dramatic murals and a moody glow that makes it feel like a proper night-out destination. It's polished but comfortable--perfect for date nights, celebrations, or a dressed-up family dinner like ours. They were especially kind and welcoming, even with our child and an early Sunday reservation. Service * Warm reception and easy seating for an early family dinner * Knowledgeable server who walked us through dishes thoughtfully * Celebrated my parents' anniversary with complimentary champagne and a sparkler dessert moment * Attentive pacing throughout Drinks * Smoke Show Manhattan - bourbon americano, Amaro Lusano, crème de cacao, walnut bitters; slightly sweet, smoky, and beautifully balanced * Pisco Inferno - pisco, mango, and passion fruit chutney; bright, layered, and vibrant with subtle heat * Cocktail program feels intentional and refined Starters * Sweet Potato Chaat - vibrant, flavorful, and nicely balanced * Lamb Tacos - small but packed with flavor; great shareable bites Portions on starters are on the smaller side, which works well if you want to sample several. Mains (all paired with rice) * Black Cod Kerala Curry - standout dish; outrageously flavorful and rich * Chilean Sea Bass Molly - delicate, beautifully cooked, and a hit at the table * Butter Chicken - classic and well-executed * Achari Curry (Chicken) - solid but the least impressive of the group We also added garlic naan and naan, though the curries already come with rice. The lemon rice was especially notable-- fully infused and bold rather than lightly scented. Dessert * Chai Tiramisu - a creative twist with cardamom and warm Indian spice notes; familiar structure, elevated flavor Verdict Kama's West Loop location delivers a complete dining experience--beautiful setting, thoughtful service, and deeply layered curries that stand out in a crowded restaurant corridor. It's elevated without being pretentious, traditional without being boring. A confident five stars and a strong addition to the Randolph lineup.

Such a nice vibe when you walk in and one of the first things I noticed was the big murals on the wall which are nicely done...loved it! We had bar seats for the restaurant week menu which was cool as we got to stare at an awesome mural behind the bar. Goat Cheese salad was definitely a highlight. I knew it would be good but it was very good! Lamb tacos were definitely delicious! Taramind Glazed Short Ribs on top of upma grits and kama pickles was definitely fire! They gave a nice side of rice along with the dish. Had the Chai Tiramisu for dessert and it was very good! Washed it all down with a couple of cocktails. Goan Sour was a nice surprise as I normally dont like cocktails that include any kind of tea, but they made it work nicely. The drink includes Basil Hayden's Bourbon infused w/ dark orange tea, kokum, cumin honey and coconut lime foam. Smoke show looked like a science project and was really good as well. Kinda like a fancy old fashioned. Really good! Kama is a lovely place with great ambience, great food and a cool vibe.

I find most fast-casual burger places make something decent, and some make hockey pucks. Meanwhile, this one is leaps and bounds above the rest. The lamb patty on its own was not only soft and well-seasoned, but also brimming with flavor. Then I took a bite of the whole thing and temporarily bounced up to food heaven. The herbaceous, savory, and earthy notes of their chimmichutney took the burger to another level. The veggies added some additional freshness, with the avocado and mayo contributing even more savory notes. Big bonus points for a fresh bun, too! On messiness: The container was small enough that I could barely slide my hands in to grab the burger. This, combined with the somewhat slippery chimmichutney, meant that keeping the burger together was a difficult and losing battle. No worries - less chimmichutney would mean less flavor, and I have no issues eating anything (burgers included) with a fork. Simply, I'd hope Bhoomi Modern Indian Grill considers larger containers for these... otherwise, don't upset the balance! Finally, credit to the service for being kind, friendly, and giving me something hot and fresh after about five minutes! Thus, Bhoomi Burger quickly earned a spot on my favorites. The whole experience was all-around fantastic, and I can't wait to bring all my friends here.
