    Brunch Buffet
    Sam K.

    The brunch buffet is absolutely worth the price. Excellently prepared various curries, complete with rice, spiced rice, crispy rice puffs (Nepalese), or naan, whatever you prefer. I enjoyed trying all the different curries, some which I was familiar with already, some which were new! There is even salad and dessert to offset the heavy food. The staff is very friendly and quick to refill. The inside is quite fancy, nicely decorated.

    This was another Restaurant Week 2026 pick for a Sunday afternoon buffet. I picked this place simply because they had Nepali Goat Curry on the menu. The restaurant itself is located in a residential building. We got a little twisted around because we saw the address on the door and entered into a lobby, but soon realized there was no way to get into the building. Because we had parked on State Street and saw the sign on the corner of State, we assumed the restaurant was through the main door. It is actually further down the street from the main door. The place itself has a storefront look. When you walk in, there is a bar directly across from the door and there are two dining areas, a larger space to the right and a few booths and tables on the side where the buffet is. Let me start off by saying that the Nepali Goat Curry was on point! The goat meat was tender, which was great because it was bone-in, so it was easy to pull the meat off the bone. Chicken Tandoori was good too and there was plenty of it in terms of the legs, which I love. Some places I have been to will bring the chicken out separate. While this is hot and freshly prepared, I prefer having it as part of the buffet so I can get it when I want it. Butter Chicken was good but I would have preferred a little more seasoning, but it was good nonetheless. The Jeera rice was very good and great for putting the goat curry and butter chicken on top of it, as well as the Palak Paneer. The Aloo Tama Bodi was also good. The service was nice. I think maybe the owner was taking care of us, wasn't sure. They had splits of bubbles, so I was happy. BFFs 1 and 2 got a Bloody Mary and a Vodka Orange juice and I guess the owner had a heavy pour when it came to the liquor, but no one complained. We had a great meal and was pleasantly surprised that the cost was $10 less than the $30 that was on the Restaurant Week menu, so definitely was a great deal. I would come back here just for the goat curry and the bubbles, plus the ease of parking.

    I was walking by and could smell all the amazing aromas so I had to go inside. Such a warm and cozy atmosphere. Beautiful art work. Spacious interior with a few rooms and many tables and booths. Excellent and attentive service. The food is delicious! The lamb samosa is amazing!!! The chicken chow mein is very flavorful and addictive. I love the masala tea. They have a lunch buffet every day and I look forward to trying that. I'll definitely return!

    Delicious curry and very large portions! Was surprised by the amount of naan but I'm not complaining. Our waiter was all very friendly.

    I am always nervous to use Uber eats to order takeout in Chicago because I've had some bad experiences with places being low quality. So, I didn't expect much when I ordered from here at first. But when I saw how nice the food looked I was very hopeful. And it was really hot which was awesome. I tried a bite and instantly knew that this place is the real deal and all the stuff was spectacular! Literally we ordered one dish to be hot and one dish to be mild as far as spiciness, and they even made sure to do that. This place is so good I'm so glad that I finally found a go-to takeout spot and I'm definitely gonna order from here again. Maybe even the same dishes because they were so good, but since I know that the food is good here I'll probably find other stuff on the menu to try because it really is good food. Love this place and definitely want to go there in person soon!

    Food was reasonably priced, the mango lassi is great, and the food is great but may be spicy even if not marked spicy. Atmosphere was great, no obnoxious loud music. Staff was nice and attentive

    The Chicago Curry House doesn't have a large buffet, but the dishes that they offer are very tasty and some of my favorites. The inside is smaller than I expected but can seat large parties (~12 people). The manager, when I went, was very helpful, especially since I have a nut allergy. They have a wide range of dishes that cater to various dietary restrictions, I believe. It's a great place to stop for a buffet ($20 on the weekends, $17 on the weekdays).

    Amazing Indian Lunch Buffet -- Great Food, Warm Hospitality & Unbeatable Value! Hidden Gem for a Quick & Delicious Indian Lunch Buffet If you're craving authentic Indian flavors with that warm, homely touch -- this place is a must-try! We stopped by for the lunch buffet, and it was absolutely worth it for just $17. What We Tried: * Appetizers: Bhelpuri, Pakora * Main Course: Chow Mein, Chole Masala, Dal Makhni, Veg Biryani, Chicken Vindaloo, Goat Curry, Chicken Makhani * Desserts: Mango Pudding, Gajar Halwa Our Verdict: * Bhelpuri & Pakora - Perfect starters! Crispy, flavorful, and light. * Chow Mein - Average, can be skipped next time. * Chicken Vindaloo - Spicy, bold, and absolutely delicious! * Goat Curry - Authentic Nepali-style preparation, rich in flavor. * Chicken Makhani - Creamy and comforting, just how it should be. * Chole Masala & Dal Makhni - Both solid, homestyle curries. * Gajar Halwa - Perfect sweetness with that classic buttery aroma. * Mango Pudding - The highlight of the buffet! Refreshing, smooth, and heavenly. Hospitality & Ambience: The ambience is simple and no-frills, but the hospitality more than makes up for it. The owner was incredibly friendly -- we got chatting and he even offered us two complimentary chais! That's true Indian warmth right there. Price: $17 for an all-you-can-eat buffet -- unbeatable for the quality and variety! Final Thoughts: A fantastic spot for a satisfying Indian buffet with authentic flavors, generous portions, and genuine hospitality. Definitely coming back again!

    Lamb Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan
    Justin M.

    Ordered on UberEats while visiting Chicago. Food was okay and somewhat affordable, but probably wouldn't come back! FOOD: Lamb Tikka Masala (5/10) - Way too much better added, and the lamb inside was pretty dry. Garlic Naan (5/10) - Seems like store bought!

    Shrimp Makhani
    Rochelle M.

    Of course my daughter would crave Indian food while in Chicago -- luckily Chicago Curry House was just a short walk from our hotel. We were seated right away at a booth by a window. After our order was taken, the place started to get really busy as it began to crowd at the entrance. In just a few minutes all tables were taken. Service slowed down a bit as the staff tried to work through the influx. We had the Shrimp Makhani, Lamb Madras and Garlic Naan. They made a mistake by giving us Chicken Makhani, but it was corrected quickly. Every entree comes with basmati rice. Portions were smaller than what we're used to, but well prepared and delicious, nonetheless. The staff was kind and apologetic for the slow service. The owner came out to greet and check on tables. We would come back here again.

    How much is the weekend lunch/brunch buffet?

    It's 16.95 plus 18% auto gratuity. It was like 43 bucks for 2 of us

    Is the naan eggless?

    I believe so! But if you have an allergy, always make sure to double check.

Disclaimer, I'm an East Asian and I didn't grow up eating Indian or Nepali food so take my comments with a grain of salt. Lamb curry My friend and I enjoyed it. I bit into some star anise in the dish, and I wished they gave the star anise more time to incorporate into the curry (sauteing longer and toasting it before), as the star anise flavor wasn't really there. I had to bite into the star anise with the sauce to learn about the flavor profile. Eggplant curry I wasn't a big fan of the dish, as it felt a little astringent and bitter at times. I wasn't sure what it was going for, and I wished it utilized more of that umami flavor from the eggplant to elevate the curry. The curry felt a little overpowering. Fish curry As a seafood lover, this was one of the most special curries I have had. The fish was delicate and soft, which was paired well with the sauce. I would get this again. Chicken Biryani We increased the spice for this dish. The portions were huge and we liked it as a base to the other curries and something to eat with the naan. It was not bad. Mutton Momo (Soup) As a mutton/lamb lover, the momos were flavorful and hearty. They were paired with a spicy tomato soup, which felt different but familiar. We loved it. Mutton Momo (Chillied) The momo was sauted and fried at the bottom. It was paired with some bell peppers. This is the kind of dish where you wouldn't be able to stop eating. Loved it. Garlic Naan Hot, thin, crispy. Even though we wished the garlic was more pungent, the texture was great. Gulab Jamun (Fried Ball Dessert) It was our favorite. The syrup was gingery and had a subtle hint of saffron, and it blended well with the fried balls. This hit home. Overall, the food was decent. We will definitely be back for the momo and to try the different curries and biryani.

We kept it simple with water for drinks and ordered the chili chicken as an appetizer. It leaned more tomatoey than spicy, with a mild heat level, but still really tasty. For mains, we got the Chicken Madras and Khasi ko maasu (Nepali goat curry), both served with white basmati rice. We also ordered the bread basket, which came with naan, garlic naan, and onion naan. Everything paired really well together, super satisfying with both the rice and naan. The server asked about our preferred spice level for the goat curry, and we chose regular. It actually wasn't spicy at all, which worked perfectly for us. Our total came out to around $80, which felt like a great deal considering how much food we had left over, we packed everything up and basically got dinner out of it too. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for something flavorful but still relaxed. Would definitely come back!

I boxed it up for lunch tomorrow. They have a robust vegetarian menu and will make some dishes vegan upon request. I'm a fan.

I went back today and was honestly so upset because my go-to dish, the paneer makhini, was nothing like it used to be. It literally just tasted like straight cream. I even asked them to remake it because I thought something was wrong, but it came out the same way. I ended up just eating the other food we ordered, but it was such a disappointment because this has always been the dish I look forward to. I even showed them old photos from past visits compared to today and it was clearly different. The chef tried it and said it was the same, which shocked me because it really wasn't. I get that places can have off days, but this was really discouraging. As much as I've loved this restaurant, I don't know if I'll be back if the quality has dropped this much.

Everything was well-balanced and spiced. I especially love that we were able to split the portions across multiple meals given how generous the naan was. The most beloved item was definitely the momos in the spicy/sour soup, followed by the buttery naan dipped in chicken tikka masala. I also really enjoyed the baigan bharta. So very enjoyed this meal, and I can't wait to try some of the other menu items that other diners have recommended.
