Service is super attentive and the employees are very kind! You can definitely tell that the owner / the servers here are proud of their food and culture. Food was delicious, authentic, and constantly rotated for freshness. Buffet is such a fair price for AYCE. Absolutely will be here again soon! read more

Chicago Curry House - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

After I posted a negative review, which was detailed and accurately reflected my experience of bad service, the restaurant owner responded by claiming that I was spamming them with a false statement. They never responded to any of my attempts to contact them directly, choosing instead to try to discredit my review online. This is why I'm publicizing their hilariously bad customer service! If you don't respond to customer complaints, you should expect to get bad reviews! read more

We usually order from their sister restaurant Nepal House, but we've dined a few times at Curry House. I think the food is actually better from the Curry House kitchen, but both are really good. It was nice day so we decided to walk over and try their newly reopened lunch buffet. We thought it was a tremendous value (the cost of one entree at dinner basically) and plenty to choose from. There were a few things I wish they had, but it looks like every day is a bit different as I saw signs for other dishes set on the side for use later/another day. Naan you ask for from the servers who were super attentive and friendly. Everything else is self serve. The butter chicken, tandoori chicken and veggie curries were excellent. Plenty of vegetarian choices as well. I'm not sure why others are surprised prices are up from pre pandemic as food costs are way up everywhere. We had a great time, excellent service and amazing value. We will be back! read more

South loop restaurant. Service was excellent and attentive. Waiter was knowledgeable and the owner stopped by. We had Palak Paneer (creamed spinach and paneer), chicken Marsala, Khasi ko Maasu. Basmati rice and naan. All were good but I am not a regular south Asian foodie. The Khasi ko Maasu was bone in goat. The curry was reminded me of a Japanese curry. Very good flavor and the goat was tender off the bone. The naan was excellent but slightly over burnt but too badly burnt. The tables were set well with well pressed whit table cloths creating a upscale atmosphere despite the relaxed ambiance. The restaurant appears to be doing a good takeout business. An old fashion was ordered but instead of an orange it had a twist of lemon. A mango lassi (Yogurt) drink was sweet, smooth and mangoey . My only complaint was the cost of the food. For our three entrees and 1 mixed drink and a mango lassi drink totaled $90. I read in some reviews that a weekend lunch buffet is now offered. read more

Food is amazing!! We came for the lunch buffet. There is so much variety and for a great price. The owner, Bala, is a very kind soul who welcomes every guest! We are from out of town, but the next time we come back to Chicago, this place is going to be on our list again! 100% recommend this place. Chilli Chicken, mixed veg pakora, chicken makhani, and mango pudding dessert were all 10/10. read more

excellent food, consistently delicious and at a great price point. would highly recommend for an authentic and varied experience.

All I can say is WOW! I was nervous to try Indian/Nepalese cuisine as I had never tasted it (at least not freshly made - only frozen ). While not serving huge portions like a lot of restaurants in the city, the food was quite filling and flavorful to the max. Dishes ordered included: vegetable samosa (2 in a serving with two delicious sauces, a little kick but so very tasty and flaky); Khassi ko massu (best dish!); Lamb curry, basmati rice, and garlic naan. 10/10 will go back again and again. The atmosphere is pleasant, the staff are so nice and attentive. I felt full but not to the point of feeling stuffed and uncomfortable. read more

I've been coming here for years and the food and service is always great. Today I visited alone and it was probably the best experience I've ever had here. I ordered the lamb samosas which were sooooo good and the perfect temperature. I also ordered the Aloo Mutter which was pretty good and had the perfect temperature. The owner paid a visit to my table several times offering me free items from tea to naan, wine, and desserts. Unfortunately I had to turn them down because of food allergies I have, but it was such a kind gesture. The atmosphere is always nice and peaceful. The owner mentioned that he has been in business for 17 years which is cool to hear. Anyways, this place is great and I highly recommend whether you're dining in person or ordering delivery! read more

This place was pretty close to my hotel when I was staying at the Chicago Hilton (within walking distance). I tried a few Indian classics, such as the chana masala, the naan, and the mango lassi. The people here are quite friendly and serve the food with relatively nice speed. The Nepali items, like the momos, will likely come out first, as they did with our party. The person who had the momos said they were very good. My meal was also quite good. I'd say the chana masala is a bit too spicy for me. They didn't ask for spice level. However, it was still very enjoyable. Nice portion and reasonable price. The naan was soft and just overall very good. Everyone enjoyed it and they brought out some extra naan for free. The mango lassi also had a great portion and was very fresh, creamy, and delicious. Would definitely recommend. The atmosphere is simple and not extravagant. We went at 9 pm or so, and there was essentially no one else in the restaurant at that time. Simple spot with good food, and one I'd definitely consider going back to (for both Indian and Nepali classics). read more

Had the buttered chicken it is to die for so good and buttery. The service is amazing the owner is the nicest man you will ever meet. You must try this place no matter what!!! The mango pudding is a must try as well don't forget to try it. read more

Everything we ordered was super delicious! We had the garlic naan, chicken tandoori (bone in half chicken), chicken curry & and the chicken mo mo. We were started off with a thin chip with 2 sauces on the side; fell in love with it immediately! It is quiet inside, they're more popular for their takeout I've noticed. Our server was very sweet & our table was always cleared of dirty dishes! Will definitely come back! So good, I had to leave a review! read more

I enjoyed the lunch buffet today at the Chicago Curry House with one of my friends. I loved the butter chicken, naan, and vegetable pakora! And she really enjoyed the goat vindaloo! The mango pudding was also tasty. The owner and server were friendly and helped me with my food allergies. I would highly recommend this restaurant and we're looking forward to returning. read more

One of the best buffet places in Chicago, very warm hosts and a great atmosphere We went on a Saturday afternoon for the buffet, there were several vegetarian and non veg options Veggies option: papdi chaat, salad, papad, pakora, samosa, chole, palak paneer, veg kofta, veg biryani, kheer, mango pudding , mango lassi, tea Non veg options: tandoori chicken, butter chicken, goat curry (best I've had so far) read more

Solid spot! My rating is closer to 3.5 rather than 3. They easily accommodated our walk-in group of 6 which was a huge plus. Many of the Indian spots in the downtown area don't include rice with the entree so it was convenient that they did. Price point is a bit higher than what you expect especially when you get rice, vegetables, and chick peas. If you're looking for Indian food in the area I prefer the food at Himalayan Restaurant also in the South Loop. I would come back here, but not go out of my way. read more

Food is fantastic. Having lived in India myself for almost a decade, this place reminds me well of my childhood spent in India. Bala, the owner, as well as the rest of the restaurant members are very welcoming and kindly served us. The ambience is generally quiet but the food generates lots of energy! Love this place, Love Bala. read more

My favorite Indian buffet in Chi since pre-pandemic. Excellent price for the variety you get, fresh naan, papadam, lamb, chicken, etc. They refill the food in small batches to keep it fresh. Everything is delicious. They do charge 18% for service and being upfront about it. Service is great and warm. I am so glad the buffet is back for weekends. Buffet hours 11am-3pm. read more

I came here for the weekend buffet. Great price, really good food, good selection. Not a place with a lot of frills, but it has this nice calm and chill neighborhood ambiance. I was surprised when I got back to the table and there was free naan waiting for me. I recommend it, especially if you are in mood for Indian food and near the area! read more

The workers are so respectful and amazing, we always get the buffet and they always stock it up fresh:) and it's such an aesthetic cozy spot, good for date nights with bar options or a day with the family. Also the butter chicken is delicious read more

The food here is delicious and they were kind enough to accommodate a large group with a long-table reservation. Every single curry tasted fabulous. Chaat was good too. I enjoyed everything about my experience here except one thing, which I wanted to relay so future customers are aware. If you have a big group, they offer to bring naan to the table. They didn't ask about it, but just said they'd bring it. Two huge baskets of naan appeared. (It was delicious!) When the bill came, 3 orders each of garlic and regular naan were on the bill. That's pretty costly, and we had tons left over, so we really didn't need that much. And nobody ordered naan. The restaurant might have assumed that this was a big corporate event, and everyone's spending lavishly on the company card. But that's not the case: it was just a reunion of friends and we were all paying for our own food. So we might have wanted less bread, or maybe no bread at all since all the curries come with rice. It didn't seem like the most honest business practice to order so much bread on our behalf, without asking. read more

The food is fresh and delicious. We had Shrimp Biryani, Steamed Chicken Momo (so flavorful!), Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken) and Lamb Naan. We arrived too late to dine in (the dining room closed at 8:30pm), but the owner/manager sat us at the bar with complimentary drinks while we waited for our takeout. Awesome customer service. Also, he told us about the weekend buffet. So, we'll return soon! read more

I'm not the right person who should write about Indian food, but I asked the waiter if they could make things without cilantro (yes) and are these mild (yes). Neither the Chicken Momo nor the Chicken Chow Mein were mild, and the Momo was so over-spiced it was inedible. Luckily, the pain didn't last long. The Chicken chow mein was spicey to the point where no single aroma stood out to make it flavorful. It was garnished with an overabundance of cilantro which I can't stand. I had five glasses of water to keep my mouth from paralysis. Cute place, and the waiter and staff were friendly, but I can't trust anyone who suggests their food can be prepared as "mild." read more

I love it here! Warm, comfortable space and the food is tasty :D We had the Masala Chai, fried vegetable momos (good flavor & lil kick) and Malai Kofta (decadent, spice-ful) and garlic naan (moist but crispy edges, nice and garlic-y). At the end of our dinner, we were given delicious mango pudding (pictured here) as a free treat, shout-out to the lovely Bala :) Sat here for some hours and will be coming back soon with my friend to continue our gossiping ~ read more

The buffet was AMAZING! It's a great price and the food is delicious! Highly recommend Chicago Curry House!

I tried a Nepali restaurant for the first time! The flavors were very different from a typical Indian restaurant, but I'm sure Nepalis love that. I'm not very fond of the Nepali flavor in dal especially! I got one veg momos, one chicken momos, a dal makhni (which came with rice) and a butter garlic naan. The service was incredible! They don't have dine-in currently due to Covid so I picked up my food to-go and ate on a bench outside. They were so kind to pack us extra utensils and plates. They also got us some hot sauce to make our food extra spicy - love that! The wait wasn't too long, about 20-25 mins and I was able to able to check-in on Yelp to get that extra 10% off my food! Yay. The staff is so friendly too! read more

I was not able to eat in to experience the food but was able to use Uber eats. I ordered garlic naan, butter chicken and chicken tiki masala. They wrapped all containers in clear wrap to keep each item warm and spill-proof. We opened every item and they were still pretty hot. The chicken were in medium to large pieces for the butter chicken and cubed for the masala - overall, the chicken was moist and the respected sauces are good and tasty. I was able to enjoy them without those being too overly spiced. I would buy from here again and next time I will be in the restaurant. read more
