Chana Masala
Steve A.

Because there's so many Indian restaurants on Devon Avenue, it doesn't matter a lot if one is bad. It has plenty more to choose from. Khan BBQ isn't bad, but there's many places that are better though. About the worst that can be said about it is the atmosphere. There's not much to it, so just focus on the food instead. A lot of familiar items are on the menu such as tandoori chicken if you're looking for traditional Indian barbecue. It also has non meat items. The one we got was the Chana Masala. It's about $12 for the vegetarian entrees. These don't come with anything though. Add a few bucks to get naan. Then add a few more to get rice. All of a sudden it doesn't sound like such a good deal here. That's the main reason I can go to many other places to get something quite similar. For quality of the food, it's good. It's not anything better than from many other places you can get to on Devon Avenue from here. The good thing about it is with the meaty and vegetarian items, it's good for groups because there's lots of variety.

I've visited Devon many times growing up but never tried Khan BBQ. I went on Eid day and I honestly was decently surprised by the food. The chicken seekh was my favorite out of everything we ordered (and I am usually not a seekh fan). We also ordered lassis, the goat karhai, beef Bihari kabobs, and an aloo paratha. Service is decent and the food quality is not bad when you're craving Pakistani bbq. I've obviously had way better places but if you're needing a fix, check them out.

I think this is one of the best Pakistani restaurants in Chicago, which is a hidden gem for good Biryani and fresh barbecue made in front of your eyes. when you have such a big player like Sabri nihari, anmol, bundhoo khan this restaurant stands out as a crown for good fresh food except server service. The management has to really work very hard on the service and ambience/atmosphere . If they can improve at the server level i think they can hit big players, I am pretty much sure they can go far long way. They make biryani fresh only on weekends. It's not available on weekdays and I wouldn't recommend any curry item. Just go for the fresh barbecue on any day

W restaurant. Beautiful cuisine, great service, nice Pakistani joint. Looks a bit hole in the wall, but isn't bad at all. Great prices incredible food

It's a good restaurant for someone who is a hardcore barbecue lover; chefs make fresh barbecue. No microwave concept. Everything is made right in the front of your eyes. I recommend just barbecue. Service is average. Don't expect five star serving experience. Just enjoy barbecue and step out.

The food here was so nice and traditional! I always come to Devon st and am amazed at the fact that restaurants like this make Chicago feel like home once again. I also really liked the Kashmiri tea they had as it was something new and I really liked the pink color it had. I do wish however though that the staff was more attentive at making sure there was enough water at the table. Also in the seat I was sitting in there was a fan that constantly blowed cold air right on my back which I thought was kind of rude because it made it very hard to be comfortable.

Chicken Chapli Kabab
Mohan C.

Khan bbq is a Devon Ave fixture, with a lot of history. It is one of the oldest Pakistani grills in the area. I finally had the chance to try it recently, and I thought it was solid. First, the interior is a little dinky and the service is ok, but that's to be expected in a restaurant like this. I ordered the chicken chapli kabob, which I felt was solid, but not great or good enough to bring me back. I think the food here is solid, but other places are just as cheap and have better food and better ambiance (kabab king grill for example).

Seekh kababs with condiments
Obie P.

This is an authentic Pakistani / Indian / Halal restaurant. Their food is delicious and they have a large menu. I would recommend their beef seekh kababs and daal fry (lentils). They make fresh naan bread for you while you are there, sams is true for their BBQ items. I was not overly impressed by the interior but the place was clean. I would suggest carry out. That being said I would recommend this place.

Butter chicken
Sarah S.

Khan's BBQ came highly recommended to us by a friend who has been here a billion times. It's not a fancy spot by any means, but they have tasty eats. Food comes out insanely fast! We ordered the Tandoori Chicken (delicious and spicy), Butter Naan (you can't go wrong with this) and Butter Chicken (slight spice but overall just great flavor). Service was iffy when the main guy always hovering over us especially when the check came. He even opened the check right in front of us when he picked it up to see how much we tipped and stood for a few seconds. Awkward. All in all, liked the food here and no issues at all! I'd probably try some new places on Devon next time I'm there.

Always good food & service when we come ! My husband is a fan of the BBQ! Number one place to eat on Devon Street.

Goat biryani
Tanya K.

My husband and I frequently come for one reason: the goat biryani. The mastermind behind this beautiful and delicate art of biryani-making has every element nailed to perfection. We tell all our friends and bring in family to try it out fresh from the pot.

Reasonably priced and tasty food. It would be great if they could provide delivery through DoorDash or Grubhub-like apps.

I've been craving some MEAT for a while, and after reading Sam C.'s review, I was sold - I grabbed…read moremy keys and made my way over! When I find myself thinking of a return trip while still there, you know for sure Offset BBQ delivers! I ordered the All Beef Platter, and got the Brisket Chili (upgrade) as my side. The sausage was fantastic! It had a snap which made all the Chicago Hot Dogs within a 20 mile radius jealous. Inside was a maximally savory, salty but not over-salted filling. The kind of meat that needs no sauce. Then comes the brisket! A lovely piece of meat that was so tender, looking at it and licking my lips caused the meat to start falling apart. I also loved that it was a good balance of meaty and fatty bits. However, there is a small 'but' here. For my taste, the brisket needed a very light sprinkle of salt. No matter, with the help of the sauces the brisket leveled up enough to take on any boss battle thrown at it. Speaking of sauces: The KC Style and Hawaiian were both good. Both were sweet, and had some tang, though, it seemed the KC had a slight edge in the bold department between the two. A sauce I loved though was the Chicago White, a fantastic Horseradish and Mustard sauce that was unique, interesting, savory, fresh, and a little spicy. The kind of sauce I want to buy a container of and take home! For my side, I upgraded to the bowl of brisket chili. I loved this so much, I may just order this as a main on a return visit. The chili did not at all skimp on the meat, which was tender and flavorful. The use of beans, corn, and veggies were there to help accent everything else, and were themselves cooked perfectly. Kudos also for the inclusion of a couple pickled jalapeno slices. My heat tolerance may be too high to feel a burn, but the crispness of acid did wonders! The included coleslaw was one thing I did not love. I appreciated that they were not heavy handed on the mayo, and the dressing overall was light in quantity and consistency. However, the cabbage was sliced as if by a sleep deprived stagiaire who has yet to master knife skills. The slicing was terribly inconsistent, with some pieces being way too large. For dessert, I ordered the Blueberry Handpie. This was so much better than expected! The crust was flaky and wonderful, and the filling had plentiful sweet blueberries. This dish also excelled in its execution. The cast iron pan kept the pie warm, and the ice cream was such that didn't melt right away. I also loved that the blueberries weren't screaming hot and exploding with lava. When it comes to the service, the bar-server was fantastic. She was kind, friendly, and attentive. Food came out pretty fast, too, considering how fresh everything was. Finally, while I did not make laps around the entire establishment, the vibe has just the right intersection between BBQ and Rock & Roll, with the music playing at the perfect volume to be appreciated while being not at all intrusive. Final verdict: There are many who sing the praises of Smoque BBQ, which is a great spot. However, between the two, I prefer Offset. Other than a sloppy-chopped Coleslaw, the experience was fantastic not only in the food, but in the execution and the thought put into the experience.

Alright, I don't usually do this. I'm not a Yelp or Google Review warrior, I'm not out here typing…read moreessays about every decent meal... but gotdamn, this place earned it. I've been meaning to get here for years, and we finally rolled in for lunch - and let me tell you, the hype in my head still wasn't enough. For context, I'm not just some random dude who likes ribs. I run a small side street BBQ pop-up on the South Side and I'm borderline obsessive about properly smoked meat - especially the kind that's gently smoked, where you taste the craft and not just a blast of soot and sauce. That balance is HARD. Most places (even the quote unquote "institutions" we all know) lean heavy on sauce to cover up over-smoked, tired meat. This spot? Absolutely not that. Offset BBQ in Humboldt Park is operating on a whole different level. This is thoughtful, patient, technique-driven barbecue - the kind pitmasters respect and regular people fall in love with without even knowing why it's better. I had the chance to meet Carlo Carani and Doug Pompa, and that alone made the visit special. Doug is the real-deal pitmaster - not flashy, not ego-driven, just a humble craftsman who clearly lives and breathes smoke. Both of them were welcoming, down-to-earth, and generous with their time. Doug even walked me through their smokers and process, which, as someone still climbing the BBQ learning curve, was like getting a backstage pass to a masterclass. No gatekeeping, no attitude - just passion and pride in doing things the right way. And the food backs it all up. The brisket? Tender, beautifully rendered, rich without being heavy. Pulled pork? Juicy, seasoned exactly right, smoke present but never overpowering. The pickled sides? Absolute game-changer - that bright acidity cutting through the richness like a perfect reset button between bites. They're not just doing traditional barbecue either - there's creativity on the menu that actually makes sense, not gimmicks. Add in a serious whiskey and bourbon lineup plus beer that pairs the way it should, and you're looking at a full experience, not just a tray of meat. This isn't just another BBQ joint. This is a Chicago barbecue institution in the making - if it isn't already. Do yourself a favor: run, don't walk. Whether you're a die-hard smoke nerd or just someone who loves good food, this place is the real deal. Maria's service is outstanding and you'd be remissed not to include her hospitality as a bright star to this BBQ institution's success. God bless this joint!

I am extremely happy to find another Hawaiian restaurant near me and it's not a wannabe like H*B*…read more We came on a weekend during dinner and there was a mild rush in and out of pick up orders and people dining in. We grabbed a menu as we had some time to review their offerings before the last person in our group arrived. When it was time to order, we went for variety and got Kaleb, garlic chicken / lemongrass pork and the Hawaiian breakfast. We ordered enough to receive 2 spam musubis. Everyone was happy with their food and compared it to another well known Hawaiian place in the city - but here with better prices! We had plenty leftover for our party of 3 and pretty much could fill up 1 container! We will definitely be back and look forward to trying other items!

I discovered Aloha Hawaiian BBQ via a photo that was shared on my yelp feed. Once I looked at the…read moremenu and saw a picture of their fish katsu, it became a place that I just had to order from. I was pleased to find that it is located along a route that I frequently drive in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, which may lead to future visits onsite while in the area. And its 4.9 star rating out of 500+ on Uber Eats was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality ordering experience. I did further research on the menu before ordering and I took interest in the garlic butter shrimp, garlic butter fish fillet, vegetable lo mein, vegetable fried rice, crab rangoon, and of course the fish katsu! Out of those items that caught my eye, I ended up ordering the fish katsu with rice & macaroni salad as my sides. Whether it be Grubhub or Uber Eats, I love ordering online because it is convenient. Much praise to the Uber Eats delivery driver, Jesus, for arriving with my order in a reasonable time, as well as meeting me in front of my residence as requested. And Jesus also confirmed that it was me grabbing the order, which I cannot thank him so much for. As for my order, I could not help but smell the fish katsu prior to opening the bag it was placed in. Along with the white rice and macaroni salad it appeared so delicious once I got my first glimpse of it after opening the container. I was pleased with the acceptable portions given, which made my mouth salivate as I took pictures of it to share not only on yelp, but with friends. As expected, the fish katsu tasted very delicious and the katsu sauce complimented it so well. I just could not resist smiling in between bites of it, which left my mouth salivating. As for the macaroni salad, it was the best I have ever had, I kid you not! I finished eating it quickly in between bites of the fish Katsu. Here is your warning! If you are looking for a satisfying meal that could very well turn into leftovers after you have recovered from your kanak attack, then look no further than the fish katsu! In closing, I had an overall great ordering experience as I have indicated in this review of Aloha Hawaiian BBQ. I would consider ordering from again whether it be online or even visiting for takeout when in the area. And with that, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all on yelp.
