We make sure to eat from Nepal House whenever we are in Devon. This time we ordered the chicken chowmein and chilli chicken, the all time favourite Indo-Chinese food combo. The food was very spice (just how we like it). Portion was satisfactory. Not the healthiest food choice, but very soul satisfying. Service was prompt. All in all a good experience. read more

Decided to stop at the Nepal House today as me, my wife and sister were at Devon for shopping - The restaurant is not very big but can seat a decent amount of people - restaurant has Nepal monument images as paintings with Nepal music. The customer service was friendly and attentive. We ordered Momos ( steamed and pan fried ), Papdi chaat, and Cheese Pakore. The taste was decent and tasted fresh - worth checking out if in the Devon area. read more

When I say Tan you say Dory. Tan! Dory! Tan! Dory! Yes I know it's spelled different but the message here is to get the Tandoori. Easily the best Indian I've had. The highlights were garlic naan, Lamb Vindaloo, and of course the Tandoori Chicken. The only criticisms was that the Chili Naan was way too spicy. I like heat and Indian heat never really gets my mouth burning. This Chili was really just raw hot peppers in the Naan. Tikka masala was actually not great either. Favorite of the below was the lamb vindaloo followed by the tandoori chicken. The somosas were my favorite I've had to day- gotta get the lamb. They had those funky little indian pickles too which were great. Super aromatic. I felt it seeping through my pores (in a great way) for the next few days. Momo was solid but I'd either switch to chicken chili fry Momo or chicken 65 next time. This was our order: 2 orders of tandoori chicken 1 order of chicken tikka masala 1 order of lamb vindaloo 1 order of palak paneer 1 order of Momo 3 orders of samosas 1 order of onion pakora 4 orders of naan 4 orders of chutney 1 order of raita 1 order of pickles 1 order of dessert And we ate it all! 6 of us. Shoutout to the incredible staff and chef. We were able to meet him which was an honor and a privelage. read more

Well I only got the momos so I can only comment on that. The momos are good but a little expensive for what they are, roughly $18 for a plate of 10. read more

Nepal House - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We ordered delivery for the first time from here on a cold Friday night. We totally understand if delivery is delayed, but the streets were clear. Our 1-hour delivery time was stretched to 90 minutes, and when it finally arrived, it was all cold and missing one of our dinners. The meat in the goat curry and chili chicken was all gristle (goat included bones, even though it's described as boneless). Everything was much spicier than requested, and I wound up eating white rice for dinner. We're just grateful we were offered a refund for the missing meal. Sorry, but -- never again. read more

I ordered the Lamb Curry , Garlic naan, vegetable pakora and the spicy Momos! The lamb curry was really chewy and hard , really disappointed especially since this place is pretty pricey. The garlic naan was good and the service was very kind and attentive. I don't think I'd return but instead go to Himalaya Sherpa kitchen. read more

Nepal House - 70. Lamb Curry - The image shows a serving of lamb curry with a rich, thick sauce garnished with herbs, placed in a white rectangular dish. Below the curry, there is a portion of plain white rice. The presentation suggests a traditional Indian or Nepalese cuisine dish, with the curry occupying the top section and the rice in the bottom section of the container. - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I picked up lamb and chicken samosas 11/12/2025 and shared them with my colleagues for lunch. Everyone said they were too salty that we ended up throwing them out. It was my first time trying this restaurant's samosas and everyone was very disappointed. There are many places on Devon that have delicious and decent food. The place is very clean and staff was nice. read more

Finally got a chance to try Nepal House after hearing so many good things, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Stepping inside on a Sunday evening felt like walking into a cozy, warm little haven away from the city bustle. The ambiance is lovely, with beautiful decor that makes the space feel special and inviting. Now for the food - wow. We started with the Vegetable Momos, which were steamed perfectly and packed with flavor. For our mains, the Lamb Biryani (Basmati rice dish served with Mix Raita) had this wonderful, complex heat to it that was just incredible, and the classic Chicken Tikka Masala was rich, creamy, and probably one of the best I've had. Everything tasted authentic and perfectly spiced. The only thing keeping it from a perfect 5 stars was that it was quite busy, so service was a tad slow at times, but our server was always friendly and smiling when he came to the table. This is a true gem, and I will absolutely be back to explore more of the menu. read more

I came to Nepal House last Monday, 10/6, and I was so impressed that I had dinner there on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. These are the things that impressed me: 1. The manager and his staff are hospitable and accommodating. 2. The food is amazingly delicious. I had the vegetable pakoras, tandoori chicken, butter chicken makani, lamb samosas, buttered roti, and chicken momos. 3. I asked for mild but flavorful spices and the chefs were able to cook my food to my specifications. 4. Parking was plentiful on the days when I went. 5. I will definitely be returning to Nepal House, as I had 4 delicious meals there last week! read more

As an Indian Punjabi it is really difficult to find good Indian food! We've ordered from here and catered from here multiple times and I have to say the past year their food has gotten much better! Absolutely love the paneer makhni, which is savory and can be catered to your spice level. Also love the chili paneer, chicken makhni, garlic noodles, fried rice, momos, and their chili paneer masala. Recent thing we tried was navratan korma which was a pleasant surprise! Love this place! read more

Amazing place for quality food, service, and ambiance. Recommend the steam chicken momo!

This is one of the best Indian restaurants. The best on Devon Ave. Every single thing, Ambiance, Service, Cleanliness, Taste, Portions, Price were excellent. We are vegetarians, there were good choices. The Bhel, Veg Pakoras were delicious. All kind of Nans were very fresh and fluffy. I am sure their non veg items must be great. Can't find any negatives. We will definitely visit this place in near future. We wish you great luck. read more

Subpar service but amazing food. I can hear with a few friends and we all thought the food was amazing. We had a bunch of dishes family style with different flavors and most were amazing with maybe just 1-2 that were good. Would totally recommend coming if you want some banging Indian food. Just don't expect the service to be great since they were somewhat understaffed when we were here. read more

Nepal House - Demolished... - A table with multiple used dishes, bowls, and utensils, including empty bowls with remnants of sauce, a large plate with leftover food, and various utensils. There are glasses of water and wine, a coffee mug, and a small bowl with sauce. The setting suggests a restaurant after a meal, with some food and drink remnants visible. - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Nice ambiance and server was friendly. Had the pappadam and chutneys. Just ok and only two chutney choices. Chicken tikka was hearty and flavorful. Very strange that they have a bar full of liquor bottles but do not have cocktails, nor did they have wine today. We selected the place as it had good reviews and we felt like a cocktail. Server said the bar is just set up for the owners. Bizarre. Think it is ok, but likely a lot of better options nearby. read more

Nepal House - Bar, but no cocktails. Strange! - The image shows a restaurant bar area with multiple liquor bottles displayed on shelves behind the counter. The bottles include different brands and types of spirits, arranged in a row. In the foreground, there are tables set with upside-down wine glasses and plates, with black chairs surrounding them. The ceiling has recessed lighting, and a television screen is visible above the bar, displaying an image of a cityscape. The setting appears to be an indoor dining area. - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Food has passing grade but I think the staff missed the big point about service and ambience, especially on weekend nights. If a couple comes, it's usually a date and the last place they want to be around and hear are other little kids. They want a date to escape, not to immerse in more misery. read more

This restaurant on Devon Street offers Nepalese cuisine. Went there for the first time and saw that the ambiance was pretty neat and clean. We found that the service was a bit slow. Additionally, the overall taste wasn't that great for the price that was charged (~$17 for an appetizer!). We ordered the Veggie momos appetizer - felt it was a bit bland. We had also ordered tea which was good. Note - we were able to use our check-in offer and got 20% off of the order total. read more

Nepal House - Veggie Vegetable Steamed MoMo - The image shows a square white plate with ten steamed vegetable momos arranged around a small bowl of yellow dipping sauce. The momos are garnished with chopped herbs, and a spoon is placed in the sauce. The setting suggests a restaurant serving traditional Nepalese cuisine, specifically vegetarian momos with a dipping sauce. - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We mainly came to try out MoMos for the first time and they were incredible! We had the chicken steamed MoMos and despite being ground chicken, the meat was not dry at all. The filling was flavorful and the wrap wasn't too thick, which is hard to achieve. The staff was attentive and helpful, and the manager was so kind! The restaurant inside is cozy and clean. The bathroom is spacious and also very clean. The dining room has seats for small parties are larger ones (there was a party of 10 when I dined in). Overall, I'm looking forward to coming back! read more

A standout on Devon Ave: papadum, shrimp tikka masala, and their Nepalese spinach dish were all especially terrific. Lovely service. Tidy dining room with lots of windows. read more

Stopped by while at Devon street with my parents for lunch. Everything was delicious! We got the vegetable momo, chicken choila, malai kofta, navratan korma, and garlic naan. Service was very fast. Ambiance- quiet restaurant, only one other party there at lunch time on a Saturday. Vegetable momo- Steamed, we asked for it spicy. The vegetables were fresh and this was very flavorful. The sauce was delicious, will definitely return to try the steamed chicken momo. This is their specialty. Chicken Choila- another nepalese specialty. Very flavorful chicken, we asked for this spicy as well. The chicken isn't piping hot, more room temperature (we were warned beforehand by the waitress), but still a lot of flavor! Definitely recommend trying. Malai Kofta- another vegetarian dish, we asked for it spicy. Very creamy, very flavorful. Navratan Korma- Spicy, I did not try this but my mom said it was "excellent." Garlic Naan- Piping hot, fresh, delicious. Will definitely be trying their other location as well since it is much closer to my place. read more

Was craving a curry. Had no recommendations but found this on yelp!, so I gave it a try. Was very pleasantly surprised. Ordered carry out -- 3 main dishes and a side. Everything was delicious and we had leftovers for a couple days! I look forward to returning with friends to dine in and try more. read more

My family and I came in after some shopping on Devon and we enjoyed our visit. The appetizers were by far the star of the show. We ordered the fried chili veggie momos, onion pakora, Masala papdi and veggie samosas. All of it was delicious, but the momos were my favorite! For dinner, we ordered malai kofta and channa masala. The channa masala was a different style than we're typically used to, so it wasn't our favorite, but definitely good to try. The service was great and our waiter was very attentive. Would definitely recommend trying Nepal House! read more

4.5 really good, delicious food all around. Get the momos and spicy if you can handle a lil heat. Friendly, excellent service as well.

This place was a GEM! I ordered the Vegetable Platter which was a combo appetizer, but asked for the Cheese Pakora to be replaced with another vegan option. Everything on the platter was SO tasty! Not the healthiest meal to eat (ALL of it was fried), but it sure was good. And so much, that I couldn't finish it! My friend ordered an appetizer that was like flat crisp tortillas, but thinner and lighter with a salsa type mixture that was GREAT (Masala Papad???)! The flavors of all the food was OUTSTANDING! Service was great and she even gave us a Mango pudding to share! OH, and they gave a discount coupon in Yelp!!! All around, a great place to have a lovely meal... read more

Solid 2.5. I have many things to say. First the fried chicken mo mo was good! We ordered medium spicy and it ran a little hot but was good. 4/5 Next up we had the shrimp chao mein which was pretty good! Again a bit spicy for medium but we liked it. 3 Our entree was chicken Nepali khukara and if just was mediocre. It had bones in it! Like a lot of them! Do you know if you swallow a bone it can tear up your intestine, poison your blood and cause you to die? I'm not trying to be dramatic but the bone fragments and chunks on balance with the taste made me conclude never again. Not worth it. Also the service was poor. I waited twenty minutes for them to get my check. I had to prairie dog the waitress to get her attention so much that I ended up walking up to her after about a half hour. And also they had the same song playing over and over and over and over and over... you get the point. I had to ask her to please play the next song. Idk- I was trying to eat Nepalese today and was underwhelmed with the food and service in comparison to the stars and reviews. The waitress barely spoke English... idk. There are so many restaurants on this strip. I'm gonna skip this one going forward. Oh hey! She JUST now picked up my check! Wowwww! I wrote a whole review complaining that it had been twenty minutes... anyway, they have to staff this place. read more

Oh wow. These momo are next level food. I highly recommend trying the signature chili fried chicken momo. They have a slightly crisp texture from the wok and a delicious sweet but quite spicy sauce that's nicely cooked into the dumpling. It's simply one of the best foods I've ever had, and the portion size is nice. I want to come back and try the more Indian fare but needed to start out trying the Nepalese first. Great service, clean restaurant. Awesome food. GO TRY THESE MOMO! read more

Great food! We came in for dinner, had been wanting to go for a while since every time we go to little India neighborhood - it's been pretty packed. Food was delicious we got a few things. They have a mix of Nepalese food & Indian food. We asked the waiter which ones to get that we're different and he gave us a few options. Would def recommend & plan to come back! read more

I ordered the 2 for 1 and they were charging me for 2 kind of defeats the purpose. I cancelled ordered 1 since for sure they bring 2 well that didn't work and the owner was not willing to fix the problem said the issue was door dash. Well besides that the food was cold and we could barely eat the butter chicken of the one we got . Go somewhere else ! read more

Finding Indian food isn't too hard around Chicago. It's a little harder finding Nepalese food. Nepal House is one of the few to go to. Has some pretty authentic tasting food in a welcoming environment. The prices are kind of high, which is the only bad thing. Actually there's two locations of this locally owned business. It has one of these on Devon Avenue amidst all these authentic Indian places. This might be the better location as far as getting an authentic experience, for a few reasons. For one, it's in West Rogers Park, a neighborhood with a large Indian and Nepalese population that it's known for. More of these people come here, so they have to keep it authentic to keep them happy. It's also smaller, giving it a more intimate feel. The last time here we got some of the vegetarian friendly menu. A bad thing is that entrees don't include naan, so you have to pay extra. It's $4 for a few pieces. That's on top of the entree prices. It gets expensive. That's the biggest complaint about this. I had the Palungoko Saag, which is a spinach entree. It's about $17 for a plate. This is fresh spinach sautéed with cumin, dry red chilis, fenugreek, garlic, ginger, and mustard seeds. It was good but too costly. She had the Bhindi Masala, which was sautéed okra and spices. Both of these entrees were spicy enough. The vegetables were cooked until soft without being mushy. Good place for some Nepalese food. It's a lot like Indian food if you didn't know. This is also quite similar to Indian food in high prices. read more

Really yummy . They let you pick the level of spice. Their chicken Tikka masala and palak are great, but the portion sizes are small for the price. read more

I'm one of those people who starts a review and then takes a million years to complete it. This one is no exception, and it was started before the pandemic got underway in the US. I can't speak to any precautions the restaurant is taking during the pandemic, though I assume they're following the guidelines set forth by the state and municipal governments. Nepalese / Indian cuisine in the heart of Devon Avenue. I haven't had Indian in forever and despite having lived in Chicago over a decade, have never eaten on Devon. I figured it was time. We ordered the Chicken Chilly Masala and Vegetable Kofta. I didn't have any of the masala, but I was told it was very good (and it clearly was, given how quickly it disappeared!). The kofta was good. It's different from malai kofta I've had elsewhere; it may have had more vegetables in it and it was definitely a bit sweeter. I'd probably try a different dish next time I come back. Interestingly, the garlic naan was my favorite of what we ordered. I think I usually figure I like naan ok, but this was so good--soft, buttery, flavorful. I think it's the difference between ordering takeaway and having it in the restaurant. The papadum, which I usually don't like either, was delicious, especially with the different chutneys they served it with. As evidenced by my dozen or so years here, I don't get to Devon very often but I'd certainly come back. read more

We stopped by Nepal house while visiting Chicago. We ordered Momos; momo chilli and steamed. Both of them were fantastically delicious and flavorful. Would go back for sure. read more

I am a tough grader. Restaurants don't get 5 stars unless they have a Michelin star. But I like this place. Would easily be my favorite place for sub continent cuisine in Lincolnwood area. This is a small place, possibly family run. Walking in, you immediately notice the cloth tablecloths and napkins. Very clean place. Friendly waitstaff, which is always a plus. We ordered the monos, which I recommend. We ordered butter chicken and chicken Madras. Both were wonderful; they were made with a coconut cream base, giving a full, rich flavor. We had the paneer tika masala as well. Good flavor, but the paneer itself was a bit underwhelming. The easiest way to compare Indian restaurants is through their naan. This is where this place shines. Flavorful and buttery, just the way I like it. Excellent choice for a moderate priced, ethnic restaurant. read more

We were so hungry on a cold evening after shopping at Devon stores on a Friday evening. Wanted to try Nepal House for the first time. Very good ambiance with a nice photographs of mountains from Nepal. We ordered Kadhai Paneer, Palak Paneer, Chilli Naans and salt lassi. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and all of them were big portions as well. Salt lassi was slightly thick and I was expecting more of liquidy feel lassi with spices in it. The naans were slightly less baked and felt starchy and doughy inside. Kadhai Paneer: 5/5 Palak Paneer: 5/5 Chilli Naan: 4/5 Salt Lassi: 3.5/5 Overall we enjoyed the food here and will definitely visit again. Tip: They do have some specials with yelp check in. read more

This is probably one of the best Indian restaurants in the area. I usually go to our spot out west but I didn't have the time today. Today I'm only ordering the Garlic naan which is baked roasted garlic bread that is delicious. The last time we dined here the service was impeccable and our food was wonderfully prepared there was not much room but our dining experience was nice and quiet. It wasn't noisy. read more
