Came to another of these Indian restaurants on Devon Avenue. It's easy to find a lot of good ones, and this is one of those. Delhi Darbar is kind of one of the farthest away. Located about as far to the west as the Indian neighborhood gets. The prices and the spices make this worth venturing to and getting some authentic food for not a lot. Better than it looks, because it looks pretty plain so you think the food might be. It's not of course. There's the Indian classics and some lesser known ones. It's about $12 for an entree. We got a few of our favorites. Has some good vegetarian choices. I picked the Chana Masala. An unfortunate thing is entrees don't come with anything. These don't include naan or rice. Pay extra. The only bad thing about it. Good authentic flavors. It's unfortunate the entrees don't include naan or rice so you have to pay more to have it. There's quite a few choices for vegans and vegetarians. read more

Delhi Darbar Kabab House - Chana Masala - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went to restaurant for dinner with someone one late evening night when we walked right in the place look nice and clean. We first for seat and was given 6 water bottle without being asked. As everyone know if you go to restaurant if they give you water if we don't order it's free. Or as we thought. When we got the bill not only did they charge us $2 per bottle they try to charge us for 12 bottles rather than 6 bottles We order 3 appetizers and they were tasty but base on the side it doesn't worth the first. We ordered a fried catfish per recommendations the first was very salty. Next we order a curry beef(beef was super soft and the sauce was great perfect to eat with naan) next was the chicken brianyai it was rather taste less and the chicken was very hard. The murgh makhani was rather disappointed as there was no sauce and the color was super red unlike other butter chicken. The bbq they have was good we got the chicken and beef. The chicken was flavorful and was texture was better than I expected not too rough. They ground food was not so well it was tough with no flavor. Lastly one of the best thing I got was the mango lassi totally not disappoint the mango flavor was so creamy. read more

Delhi Darbar Kabab House - Mango Lassi Chicken Masala Tandoori Chicken Paratha - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

A neighbor recommended this restaurant and we went there for a date night. As we sat down, they say they cook to order and will take 20 min or so. So we made sure to order some appetizers. The food were fantastic. Even better they close very late and have online ordering. read more

Tried this for the first time after hearing about it for months! I will say I didn't realize it was Pakistani food but I did enjoy a few dishes. My favorite was the chicken makhani and the masala papad. They have a raita which is really watery (I was surprised to see that) but it was really flavorful and I added that to all of the items. I was told to try the roti instead of naan and it was still good! I wasn't the biggest fan of the paneer but the chicken was worth coming back! read more

Let's start with the food: The food is good in terms of tasty late night thrills with fresh roti and service but let's stop there. The taste is good but not great. It fills the stomach but quality of meat and food coloring is questionable. The chicken makhni is fresh but quality of meat is not up to par and can be much better. There is also too much food dye put in the food that needs to be less. Great for a late night spot to gather with company and munch on food but not everything. I personally like the paneer makhni which is ground cheese and seasoned with some Indian spices. This place needs some work but it isn't bad for late night food. read more

Delhi Darbar Kabab House - Simple seating, beautiful photos on the wall - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I do like the food here but the owner is always a little shady. You have to check your receipt because he will try to charge you more. He is so stingy about you bringing your own water bottle. He really ruins the experience each time. Other than that, there are no complains. read more

Delhi Darbar Kabab House - Goat Korma, Chicken Masala, paratha, plain rice, mango lassi - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Food was delicous and I really enjoyed being here. The staff was kind and we had a lot of fun. Ambiance was welcoming and I love the walls and ceiling. Very fancy. You'll feel like a family being here. Me and my sisters sure did. A downside was the mango lassi. Wasn't the best but it was still drinkable so it wasn't much of a problem. My water cup did look a bit dirty so I didn't feel comfortable drinking out of it. Other than that it's great and I would recommend this place. 8.5/10. read more

Loved this place! The owner was really nice. Great mango lassi. Loved the chicken boti, goat biriyani, paneer burji, karahi gosht, garlic naan and rotli. Good chutneys and raita too! Also got the bihari roll to go and my bf loved it. Best Indian food I've had in chicago! read more

This place is pretty decent for a place that's open 24/7. It's a little dirty not the cleanest but they do have good food and service is actually ok here -the mutton curry was pretty good Garlic naan was very good The tandoori chicken was good! And the rice was super fluffy -waters gross! Best bet to order bottle water They have really good chutneys here The sweets are ok it's a hit or miss, when we went this last time it was pretty old ekkk read more

Excellent service and the food is outstanding. We had the chicken masala and paneer with rice and garlic naan. Very authentic and perfectly blended with spices. read more

Food was horrible with no flavor. The evening started with server placing water bottles on each placemat, later found out that the cost of each water bottle is $1.50. For 6 people we paid $9.00 for just water. Mutton Karahi which consisted of boney neck meat. Terrible taste for $19.99 per dish. Chapli Kabob was slimy like the meat was blended few days ago. Waiter's pick we order Chicken Masala. I kid you not, this dish was so horrible not in taste but also the look. The chicken was boiled, smashed and pulled and cooked in some kind of masala tasteless. For six of us we paid $134.00 Never going back there again and I warn everyone, please do your due diligence. Place is horrible. PS. I asked the counter person about bottled water and his bullshit reply was that due to Covid-19 we serve only bottled water. Hogwash. The businesses who think the customers are stupid have very short life. read more

When you play volley ball till 11pm you end up having less energy and less choice of places to go for dinner. Devon is one place where few places are open till the wee hours . Normally my choice would be "Hyderabad House" but friends insisted to try a new place and we ended up here at 12.15 am. Parking was free at that time and there are still people dining at that time. Like most places in devon this is "Hole in Wall" kind with nominal decor but pretty clean as they seem to have renovated recently. Samosa which they mentioned fresh were actually hot but they were the frozen ones just deep fried before serving which is a big off to me. Goat Biryani was ok and the Lamb Khurma and Lamb kadai were decent. They brought chicken biryani too late hence we took it as "To-Go".Tea was pretty good (1.50$) which is self served and you can have complimentary cookies with it . Pros: Wee Hours Availability Clean Minimal Prices When you don't have options,Try it. Cons: Service can be improved. Mix up Orders(Ordered chicken curry but got Lamb) read more

Food Amazing, naan the best I've ever had, korma very excellent. Will come again for sure

The food is very good however I feel it's a bit overpriced. There are other places where the food is also tasty but cheaper. However, if I was in the area again, I'd stop in another time. read more

Went here as a late night option for dinner. Ordered the beef Nihari, chicken makhni, chicken biryani, chicken tandoori, and behari kabob. As well as 3 naans. Let's start with the good. The naans were very good. Relatively big and 3 of them were enough for the 5 of us. Also the chicken tandoori was solid, although it only came with 4 pieces, which made the dish slightly over priced. The biryani and the bihari Kevin was also pretty decent. Now the bad. Before I even get to the food, we weren't given water even after asking multiple times until we were almost done with our meals. How is that not the first thing done once we are seated??? Getting to the food, it did not live to the prices. The Nihari was oily and fatty. Feel like if you want Nihari there are other options on Devon that are much better. The chicken makhni was obnoxiously dyed red and lacked any flavor. Definitely an option for a late night spot, but it would only be a last resort option for me. I'd rather try any of the other restaurants open late on Devon or go back into the city and find something there. read more

Fantastic place! Tandoori chicken was great and so were the kebabs ans naan and. Asifsiddiqui was a fantastic host and the food came out dilicious. Definitely try this place if you are in the area! read more

Excellent service by Mr Asif Siddiqui. Food was fresh and delicious. Appreciate the prompt service.

The food was really bad, I ordered Dal fry, chicken boti, mutton karma and zeera rice. It was the worst quality and bad taste food, never had this type of worst experience. The service was really bad especially the cashier Asif Siddiqui, he was really rude and unprofessional. There were hidden charges that were included in my check. Never ever advice anyone to eat there. It not worth it for the price for the food. read more

Went there with a group of friends. Really enjoyed the food. They also have vegan options. read more

Delhi Darbar Kabab House - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Delhi Darbar... wow... not enough words can be put down on paper to describe my absolute infatuation with this one of a kind kabab house. More then the food, it's the the incredible vibe of this restaurant. Sit down, relax, and enjoy the view of 116 hsby girls walking back and fourth. Also a little tip... if you pay a little extra Joe from the kitchen will personally give you a foot massage. What's everyone else's favorite food from this kabab house? read more

Figured it was time for an update. I ate here recently and against my better judgement but, this is where our caravan stopped. I have two friends that loving call out to "DD's" when drinking. Both of which know that with a dining experience comes hours of agonizing on the porcelain goddess but as these guys tell it, "it's so good going in" and it can be. Plates ordered - their version of Butter chicken which is Chicken makhani (x2) and a masala chicken dish (x2). We had a couple baskets of paratha (bread) for dipping. Their butter chicken has a peculiar color like that of Pepto Bismol, it'd be fitting & helpful if Pepto was served with their food. Evidence of the night before is left on your fingertips since the color is hard to remove. Better judgment would, be, not to share this text conversation but hey.. WTF. Arpan S: Damn. I'm on sh-t number three or four. This is horrible! Arpan S: Tastes so good going down though TP: Me too lol Arpan S: I forced puked a little yesterday. Thought it would help but nope. TP: I know right. Jacob J: That food gave me a nightmare. Jacob J: Felt like I needed to puke and sh-t. Jacob J: If I could've puked on the shitter, I would've felt doubly good. Arpan S: Haha, same here. Arpan S: I had a dream about Oprah. Jacob J: Wait, what??? Not an experience I plan to redo again. I hope the next update, never comes. Cheers! read more

Ive been here countless times. Just don't get the nehari, not that it's bad but it definitely isn't the best dish they have. Pretty much everything else is fire, the naan, the karhai, brain masala, grilled stuff, balti ghosht, you name it. Legit joint that has and will be around for years and years to come. If you are ever on Devon Ave and want to eat at a very good Indo-Pak restaurant away from all the crazy traffic east of California ave....then I would suggest this place for sure. read more

This is the place to go If your looking having a supper late dinner. The butter chicken was alright. I really love their Bahari and chicken boti roll. If your ordering naan get the garlic butter naan. The biryani is delicious as well. One thing I've learned is if your carrying out the food takes at least 30 min to get ready. Call way ahead. Everything is looks clean. read more

I was surprise this morning when trying to review this delicious restaurant and I couldnt find it on yelp... well, here it is!! next time I go, I will take pictures and add them. This might be the best hidden spot at Devon/Indian neighborhood. This restaurant has the real indian deal at incredibly affordable prices. I wont give the place my 5 stars for being pretty, but if what you are looking for is authentic Indian food and great service, this is the place to go! read more

Person named Asif is rude and always in a rush. He would not recommend any dish and would not wait for us to make a decision. There are plenty of other options on this street. Avoid this place read more

This is our goto place for goat and chicken biryani. This place always carry their flavor. Its always consistent as compare to other places here in Devon. And food quality and quantity is good for the price. Chicken boti and beef boti is great as well. Definitely give it a try, you wont regret it. read more

Amazing food 10/10!!! It is just so homey and sweet here just so cute and so much fun!!

Food is good as always. Under the new management, price have skyrocketed. They decided to increase the price by 40% and the justification the management gives is the current inflation. I think a 10% hike is justifiable, similar to prices of entrees in similar restaurants in the Devon area, not 40% hike. Not going back anytime soon. read more

Honestly I love bbq and what can I say, the best grill special on Devon!!! Asif had the greatest service ever! Great man!

The place has good mutton Biryani. Spicy big chunks of mutton with long grain rice. Available for dine in and take out.

Food was amazing and service from Asif siddiqi was great. I would recommend the grill special

Great food, great atmosphere Asif siddique is the man! Order the grill platter that's the best item

My friends call it "DD's", but for someone whose been to many places on Devon, I can tell you right now this place is below average. $1.49 for a beef samosa??? I ordered Beef Nihari from here... well I'm not sure if I ordered "Beef Nihari" or "Beef Oil" because their was a layer of oil on top. What makes this place standout to the college crowd is they are open past midnight. Also, I think they jack up their prices because you got drunk people coming in here that just need to get their salt fix until their ADH levels come back to normal. Would I come back to DD's? Yes if all my friends wanted too. No if I am with my family. No if I get to choose the venue (In comparison: they charge you the same prices as Usmania which is a high-end place on Devon, yet a complete opposite dining experience) read more

Best kabobs in town. Haven't been to Chicago in 2 years and decided this was a must visit. Went there late at night with 2 other buddies. Didn't realize they moved locations from down the street. Well the kabobs were great as usual. My friends ordered the butter chicken and beef nihari. They were good especially with their paratha. The service was top notch and they were extremely accommodating. They made suggestions that we forgot to ask. If you want some delicious kabobs or tandoori chicken this is the spot. If anyone recommends tiffin, they definitely don't know their Desi food. Delhi Darbar is where the true flavors are. Check it out and you won't be disappointed. read more

Headed back last night after a casual eight hours of drinking, we asked our cabby to take us to a great burrito place in Rogers Park. He responded by taking us to Delhi Darbar and telling us they had Indian burritos. They did not. We were the only non-Indian or Pakistani folks in the restaurant and there were a number of people in skull-caps. We were very drunk and I'm sure we were offending every one of their gods. Despite our obnoxiousness, we were treated very well and the food was delicious. We had two chicken dishes and the meat was flavorful and incredibly moist. The naan was very oily, which at that point in the evening was exactly what we wanted. Our cab driver sat and ate with us. I strongly recommend this place for quality, authentic Indian food. Never thought of Indian food as a good end of the evening snack, but I have to say it hits the spot. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!!! My friend Liz ordered take out from this place, and I just had a food high the rest of the night. Delicious. Well, I couldn't write a review without going in myself and giving it another try (oh woe is me, right?). So, I took my dad tonight and he was loving it. I fell in love again. We ordered the Chicken Briyani, Chicken Massala, Chicken Bakhni, Paratha, and 2 mango smoothies (ya need them for the spice). It was so good it warms you from the belly up, and leaves you more than satisfied. Just eat the Chicken Briyani with caution there are little pieces of bone that are choking hazards, literally. I nearly choked on one myself the first time, and this time around I chewed cautiously. It's not expensive, and the portions are hefty. They don't skimp on flavor and spice! Gotta try it. read more
