“Taste of Egg in Chicago is a must-visit if you love bold, street-style Indian flavors—especially egg-centric dishes done right. We ordered a wide spread, and every item came out fresh, hot, and made on the spot, which really stood out. The Schezwan Frankie was perfectly spicy with that Indo-Chinese kick, wrapped well and full of flavor. The Amdavadi special sandwich brought true Ahmedabad street food vibes—loaded, spicy, and extremely satisfying. The paneer kadai was rich, well-balanced, and paired beautifully with the fresh rotis and parathas brushed with ghee. You can really taste the freshness when the breads come straight off the tawa. If you’re an egg lover, this place truly shines. The chatni boiled fry and lasan boiled fry were packed with garlic and spice—classic and comforting. The gravies like spicy tufani, spicy dhamaal, and spicy tikhari were bold, flavorful, and unapologetically spicy (in the best way). The boiled egg bhurjee was hearty, well-seasoned, and perfect with roti. Overall, Taste of Egg delivers authentic Indian street-style food, strong spice levels, generous portions, and great freshness. Got just one pic of the food since everything was attacked! If you enjoy spicy food and egg-based dishes with real desi flavor, this place won’t disappoint.”
“Great spot! The food was delicious, well-seasoned, and served fresh. Staff were courteous and attentive. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.”
“My uncle and I had a wonderful time stopping in for a quick omelet sandwich this morning after a swim at the LA Fitness next door. We tried both a red and green omelet sandwich and the flavor was incredible! Although we were stopping in only for a quick bite, I can’t wait to come back for another meal.”
