“Such a great place to stop on a cold snowy day.”

Such a great place to stop on a cold snowy day. We got the Chana masala and chicken madras as mains, both with garlic naan and both great. The server was kind enough to let us try gulab jamun and it was also incredible. Definitely hope they deliver to our apartment!

The food was great as we expected. This was our first time trying the restaurant as we were visiting the city for the weekend. Our host was really nice and welcoming and made experience a lot better for us. She was really sweet! The dishes were flavorful and tasty!

“Absolutely FANTASTIC food!!”

Absolutely FANTASTIC food!!! Chef Bhojraj really knows his stuff. The chicken and goat curry we got really hit home and felt like homemade food. Hidden gem this place is. We dined in, the service was great and prompt.

“Just the MOST DELICIOUS FOOD in all of Chicago.”

Just the MOST DELICIOUS FOOD in all of Chicago. I'd recommend the Nepalese Chicken/ Goat Curry and Aloo ka Achar. Just Beautiful cooking. Tastes like Home. Hits every single note on the palate. Chef Bhojraj is from Kathmandu, so this is as authentic as it gets. Better than every Indian restaurant I've eaten in Chicago. Go get some real food.

“I live in a small foodie town so I enjoy it when I get to a big foodie city.”

I live in a small foodie town so I enjoy it when I get to a big foodie city. I am visiting my daughter in Chicago and the first day here she recommended Gorkha Kitchen for lunch. There are so many small neighborhood restaurants here but she promised me this is one of the best (it's in Lakeview). The vibe was laid back with the owners being very welcoming. I ordered the Chicken Madras and she ordered the Lamb Korma and needed it gluten free, which isn't always easy to navigate. Surprisingly, they were on top of it all and answered all her questions with ease. The real surprise was the food! My Madras was superb, a perfect mix of spicy and savory. The homemade naan was fantastic, light and buttery. She said her Korma was great....as always! The servings were a healthy size so I continued my feast a few hours later in her condo. The menu has something for everyone and anyone who needs gluten free options needs to go here. This was my first but definitely not my last time visiting them. Thank you Gorkha Kitchen!

“Not making this up, but really great spot.”

Not making this up, but really great spot! Food feels more Nepalese than the usual Indian places—authentic and detailed, especially the Thali. Chef personally asked for feedback, which shows real care. Definitely worth a stop if you’re near downtown Chicago.

“After a few months again we visited this Gorkha Kitchen, a beautiful hidden gem.”

After a few months again we visited this Gorkha Kitchen, a beautiful hidden gem. Always it is an ultimate delight to have dinner at the Gorkha Kitchen on Diversy Ave Chicago. This visit we ordered a very simple menu. Daal and Tandoor Roti with butter applied on it. Daal was sprinkled with super-hot aromatic sizzling tadka, and the Roti was straight from the Tandoor. On the side: green pepper fresh and onion thick cut. It was the most satiated dinner. Though simple, the fresh tasty food also had the personal touch of the Master Chef Bhoj Raj. Coupled with Nepali music, the cozy ambiance of the restaurant was a wonderful place to be that evening. We would for sure visit GORKHA KITCHEN again. Next visit we will enjoy BYOB feature of this smell-free eatery. It’s a MUST VISIT place for both the preferences — Non Veg & Veg. I give it a 5-Star. PS: last visit we had freshly cooked saag that was fragrant and delicious. We had kept the picture taken that day and is being added today along with the latest.

“I honestly wasn’t expecting the portion so big, but I am glad it was.”

I honestly wasn’t expecting the portion so big, but I am glad it was. Took a lil time to get food, but it was worth the wait. Nepali Kukhura was a typical Nepali taste. And goat biryani and pakora is too good. Need to add lil less sauce for the chicken 65, and overall should lower the sourness in food a bit.
