Shaily’s Rasoi
Shaily’s Rasoi brings authentic, pure-vegetarian Gujarati and Indian comfort food to the Loop, with home-style flavors that regulars say transport them back to India. Try the made-to-order aloo or paneer paratha, dabeli, vada pav, pav bhaji, and refreshing nimbu paani; the warm, accommodating owners add to the experience. It’s primarily a small takeout spot, and portions can vary.

“Authentic Indian food - yummy, fresh and mindblowingly delicious. Shaily puts a lot of care and detail into her cooking and it reminds me of my own mum’s food. I took my parents to this place for breakfast and we loved it! She and her team were also highly accommodative of my parents’ special requests.”

“Oh my goodness - what a joyful experience! Shaily and her staff are immensely warm and welcoming, they've curated a menu of delights that you won't find anywhere else downtown, and the food itself is exceptional. I only had the stomach space to try two dishes during this visit, but I loved them so much that I ordered three more to-go, and that was a fabulous decision. I can't get enough! This restaurant is a gift to Chicago and I'm impatient to return. Thank you so much, Shaily!”
“The food was really good and had a homemade feel, which I appreciated. The staff was also welcoming. However, the place is extremely small with a limited team, so my order took about 40 minutes. There was also little to no seating available while waiting. Order ahead if you’re in rush!”
