“We tried a bunch of different things—veggie spring rolls, dosa, paneer burji wrap, veggie sandwich, gulab jamun, mango lassi—and honestly, everything was delicious”
This restaurant is so affordable and they have new offers Buy 2 for $12 is great and buy 2 wraps offer is even better.
Heard alot about their food in little Italy since we love street food we visited today on Diwali ocassion and what can I say, food was absolutely delicious and service was great.
A cozy restaurant serving Indian fusion food close to UIC (west or medical school) We tried their chicken tikka roll, non veg bowl, Dahi bhalla, chai.
I've been curious about this place for a while, I love Indian food and they have such a range of street food offerings, items I've been wanting to try.

I've been curious about this place for a while, I love Indian food and they have such a range of street food offerings, items I've been wanting to try! We will definitely be back, everything we had was delicious, hot and freshly made. The restaurant itself was small, bright, clean and cozy. Not a bad place for a lunch date, many people came in for pick up orders but we decided to sit and dine in. Samosas are generously sized and you get two per order, same for the paratha. Sauces were flavorful and added the necessary touch. My husband had the chicken Tikka roll wrap, it's small but yummy. I had the chicken chatpata sandwich and it was huge - three slices of bread and sprinkled with cheese on top. It was delicious! Next time we will try the dosa menu or one of the chaat options. So much to choose from!

“I was recommended Tuk Tuk Indian Street Food, and honestly, it did not disappoint.”
I was recommended Tuk Tuk Indian Street Food, and honestly, it did not disappoint! The prices were pretty solid, especially for a city-style restaurant, and the food was so good. We tried a bunch of different things—veggie spring rolls, dosa, paneer burji wrap, veggie sandwich, gulab jamun, mango lassi—and honestly, everything was delicious. Like, I’d order all of it again. My top favorites were definitely the mango lassi, gulab jamun, spring rolls, dosa, and the veggie uttapam. Everything was super flavorful and tasted so fresh. Some of the dishes had a bit of a kick, so if you like spicy food, you’ll definitely enjoy it here. The atmosphere is very casual, with around 6-7 tables inside. It’s bright, colorful, and has a fun vibe. You order at the counter, and they bring the food out to you. The service was good—nothing over the top, but everything came out fresh and in a timely manner. If you’re craving Indian street food, I’d highly recommend checking this place out. Great flavors, fresh food, and a chill vibe—definitely worth it!

“A post Thalia Hall dinner led us to Tuk Tuk with the late hours.”
A post Thalia Hall dinner led us to Tuk Tuk with the late hours. The real star of the meal were the rotis. Could go for an entire box next time instead of the individual options. Fun to order the potato bun, though the roti is where it’s at. Enjoy your meal and tell your friends!

The food here is hands down some of the best for Indian food on this side of the city. I loved that they have North and South Indian options to choose from and pretty quick too. Very friendly staff and very affordable!!

“Hands down, absolutely 100% some of the best Indian food I've ever had in Chicago, or elsewhere.”
Hands down, absolutely 100% some of the best Indian food I've ever had in Chicago, or elsewhere. Indian Street food is hard to come by, but Tuk Tuk does a phenomenal job at serving this unique style of food. The Chole Bature was absolutely delicious, Dahi Puri was crisp and refreshing, and the Keema Roll which is a lamb wrap was to die for, a real flavor bomb. I definitely recommend eating in here, or at least picking up takeout from here yourself... Don't listen to the naysayers complaining about doordash when their food has been sitting in some random dude's car for over an hour. 10/10 will be back again.

“Newish Indian street food place right in the heart of Little Italy.”
Newish Indian street food place right in the heart of Little Italy. Loved the samosa chaat and the Mysore masala dosa. The portions are a little bit towards the smaller side but the food was really good. When I went they were accepting Zelle only, so a heads up in that regard.

“The food was outstanding so does the place was very cozy.”
The food was outstanding so does the place was very cozy. But I think they really need to work on their serving dishes & cutlery. The world has progressed a lot , so does street food craving. The serving need to look more appealing according to the menu. Ordered pav bhaji dosa, bhel, ras malai and masala chai, everything was almost served in disposable items despite of dine in order

Went here with my group because of referrals from my friend and they live up to the reputation. Food is good and that’s the closest one can get for Indian street food. Please note they either accept payment through cash or zelle.

“The BEST place in the city for Indian street food, I absolutely love this place!”
The BEST place in the city for Indian street food, I absolutely love this place!! I moved to Chicago from the south and it has been so difficult finding flavorful food in the city, but this place is amazing! I love the Dahi Puri, the Veg grilled sandwich, the Falafel wrap, and the Tikki Chat! They were all amazing, and this is my new favorite place 💖 they also had amazing customer service, the girl taking my order was so sweet! Will definitely be back : )

Have you ever had pani puri and sahi puri that looked this adorable and delicious at the same time, if not then you have to try them at TUK TUK. We had Bombay sandwich, pani puri, dahi puri, dabeli, and all of them were delicious. Pani puri comes with a nice warm Ragda and refreshing and flavorful pani and Gor-imi chutney, each bite was a delight. aTrue indian street food flavors, place is nice and clean, and the service was nice and fast. Try this cute Indian/Pakistani street food place for sure!
