“Hidden gem in town. Loved this place for the ambience and food. Great portion for reasonable price. Momo , chowmein and samosa chat were the winners for us.”
“So Good. Just Git off the Commuter Train at Millenium...walk here! Amazing Indian cuisine, love the Mango Lasso. Homemade today!”
“This has become one of my favorite spots in Chicago. I’ve been here at least 20 times, and the food and service have been consistently excellent every single visit. If you’re exploring Millennium Park, this place is definitely worth a stop. The menu has so many great options, and everything I’ve tried has been flavorful and fresh. What says the most is that I actually travel all the way from Evanston just to eat here. And when I can’t make the trip, I still order delivery because I genuinely crave their food. Highly recommend giving it a try!”
“KTM Kitchen truly gave us one of the best Nepali dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. I took my friends out there and we ended up ordering around 10–11 dishes because everything on the menu looked so tempting and honestly, every single item exceeded expectations. The Chicken Momo was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor easily one of the best momos I’ve had outside Nepal. The shrimp dish was perfectly seasoned and flavorful, while the chowmein instantly reminded us of authentic Nepali street food back home. The Sekuwa Salmon was absolutely top-notch, cooked beautifully with rich smoky flavors. The Dal Makhani with rice was next level creamy, comforting, and full of depth. Kathmandu Aloo tasted so authentic that it genuinely reminded me of the style of food prepared in the Himalayan regions of Nepal. To finish, the Gulab Jamun was soft, warm, and perfectly sweet. Their drinks were equally impressive the Midnight Temple KTM drink was delicious and refreshing, and having Bara Singhey beer brought a true taste of Nepal to the table. The food, atmosphere, and overall experience made the night so memorable for all of us. KTM Kitchen is definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Nepali cuisine with amazing hospitality. Can’t wait to go back again!”
“The food, ambience, presentation, and service were all top-notch! The Momo (dumplings) were incredibly juicy and delicious, and I highly recommend the grilled shrimp and salmon alongside the dumplings. This place truly stands out for its authentic Nepali and Indian cuisine. Definitely one of the best spots in Chicago for flavorful, comforting food!”
“Wanted a quick and tasty lunch and KTM is where it’s at. The naan portion was huge, the tikka was fresh and the samosas were great. Will definitely order again.”
“Freshly cooked and flavorful. Good ambience and reasonably priced. Open late in the loop when most of the places are closed.”
“We ordered takeout meals from The KTM Kitchen on two occasions, and both times the food was excellent. Very flavorful, with a well-balanced use of spices that gave the dishes a nice depth. We can recommend everything we tried: daal makhani, chana masala, vegetable Manchurian balls, vegetable biryani and Malay kofta. Don’t miss out on their garlic naan - it’s probably the best naan we’ve ever eaten outside of India. Very fluffy, garlicky and smooth, without the oily touch often found elsewhere. Tip: For those who don’t like their food too hot, I’d recommend choosing the mild level. We had medium and found it to be quite spicy.”
“Best to-go spot in the Chicago area. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the place felt clean, food over the top ! welcoming as well as comfortable.”
