Hema's Kitchen II

This place is what is: an inexpensive BYOB restaurant in Lincoln Park. Came here on a Saturday night with a group before seeing a comedy show nearby. We had an 8 PM reservation and got seated right away. The service was good and quick. The food was good but not great. We ordered some naan and a vegetable samosa for the table. I had the Haryali chicken which ended up being chunks of chicken in a green-ish sauce. It came with plenty of rice for the table. I could have used more chicken and less green sauce. With the appetizers for the table, I spent under $20 including tip. Overall, BYOB places always get a few bonus points in my book. I'd go back, but I won't be craving it any time soon.

Responsiveness to the phone, accuracy of delivery times, providing paper plates and  napkins, overall service, and packaging could be really improved.

First of all, the woman who runs it (I think her name is Ruth, not sure) is really nice. Last time I was in she talked with me about the restaurant and how thankful they are for their customers, which is pretty rare in Chicago. I have had a few dishes but by far the best is the Lamb Biryani and the garlic Naan. Go now! It will not disappoint!
