“Chicago Curry House Indian & Nepali Cuisine offers a great mix of Indian and Nepali flavors. The dishes are rich, well-spiced, and feel authentic—especially the curries and momos. Cozy vibe, friendly service, and a solid spot when you’re craving something flavorful and comforting.”

“Went for restaurant week with the homies. Big portions great price and excellent flavor. I want to take a day off work just to try everything the buffet has to offer 😆😆😆😆😆”

“Everything from the food, the service, the atmosphere. All of it was TOP tier. Never seen such a peaceful, and beautifully decorated restaurant. The paintings, the tables and their arrangement all beautifully done. The owner is an amazing, sweet, and kind man. Running the business for 20 years, they work hard for sure! And back to the food? AMAZING!!!! I’m in absolute awe and will definitely come back anytime I’m in Chicago.”

“Chicago Curry House is one of those places where you can immediately tell the kitchen knows exactly what it’s doing. The curry is excellent — rich, deeply spiced, and balanced without being overwhelming. Every bite tastes intentional, not rushed or watered down. The sauces are bold and comforting at the same time, the kind that make you slow down and actually enjoy the meal instead of just eating to be full. What really stood out to me, though, were the chickpeas. They’re cooked perfectly — soft, flavorful, and fully infused with the spices rather than just sitting in the sauce. They don’t feel like an afterthought or filler; they’re a highlight. If you like chickpea-based dishes, this place absolutely delivers. The food feels hearty, satisfying, and made with care. Whether you’re already a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it more seriously for the first time, Chicago Curry House is the kind of spot that reminds you why curry is so loved in the first place. Highly recommended for anyone who wants great curry and genuinely well-prepared vegetarian options — especially anything with chickpeas.”

“I visited during Restaurant Week and thoroughly enjoyed every dish. I had a little of everything. The owner was very polite, hospitable, and provided excellent customer service.”

“I didn’t wanna go because I thought the pictures from other reviews didn’t look very appetizing .. but my friends insisted and so we went for the buffet and it was really delicious. Plenty to choose from. That’s why I’m uploading pictures.”

“Food was really good !! Customer service was great , Bala was really nice !!”
