One of my all time Chicago favorites.
The original owner is the epitome of an American success story...
Having his first endeavor in ‘cuisine’ from
A ‘Dog House’ on wheels....to a successful
Enterprise of many restaurants over several states...the main attraction is the Famous Chicago ‘Italian Beef’ smothered in gravy or on the side and garnished with Sweet Peppers..next to Chicago Style Pizza, this sandwich takes me back to Chicago cuisine...
Hot dogs ‘dragged through the Garden’
Come up as a third choice...all available along with a “Maxwell Street Polish” in one location...
Tried samosa chaat, pavbhaji, dahi vada , chole bhature and masala dosa..dosa was okey,..rest of the items were good...prices are vfm..they keep farsan , namkins as well..I always get farsan from them
Decent and one of very few veg eatery in Devon, Chicago. Mango lassi is good. Don't try South Indian varieties; they are not all versed in that. Any chat is good here.
I went to this place on holi and ordered 100 gujiyas for my party. They were quick and the food was above average. The staff is friendly. It's a great place if you miss Indian sweets on festivals.

You'll find all sorts of Indian chaats, snacks and sweets in here. Prices are a bit high if you recall the same you would find them for in India, but tastes are decent.

Both these items are best in the city at this location. Sometimes they also have khandvi available which is always a nice treat. They also do special orders for bigger carry-out orders and are willing to make items outside of their menu.
Improved and Improving. I first had a chance to visit this place in May-2008 or so and was disappointed by their veg mini thali or whatever they called it. Till early 2009 this place was not worth eating however things changed in 2010. I saw significant improvements in its dishes, food items and quality. It also has a branch in Schaumburg, IL which is less crowded than the Devon Ave branch. Food has improved, thalis and snack items are worth trying for Indian vegetarian people who have lesser choices in this nation.
It was closed as license was suspended, wot a disappointment :(
Oh dear. Has it really been two months since my last post? It is finally time for me to get back in the game. I submitted my Gastronomy dissertation the day before Thanksgiving and thought the second my clicker finger hit the "send" button I would utter a
