This would be my 3nd time eating Indian food. Â Walking into this place was inspiring, the wall colors are different and bright. Â I guess it screams "welcome!" Â The employees were generous and accommodating to our needs. Â I ordered a chicken Kabab Sandwich, it was like $5 and it was huge and filling.
The meat was spicy though, made me want to drink a lot of water...Im not used to all that spice, but it was delicious food!
I am ready to try different ethnic foods and get a different taste all around the world!
This is probably my favorite restaurant in Devon. Their chicken tikka is the best I've had, and their rice dishes are fantastic (I especially recommend the chicken pullao - fresh and delicious). The aloo gosht is good, and the frontier beef is tasty (frontier chicken is also good).
Their lassi is worth getting, and the naan are fresh and yummy. The chutney they serve with the plate of cucumbers, onions, and rice is refreshing and delicious - I had to ask for an extra bowl because I ate the first one so quickly.
They're often closed for prayer or other reasons, so it might be worth calling to see if they're open before heading out. Overall, really great.
ordered 2 frontier chicken rolls to go last weekend. Â Chicken was bland, tasteless and the sandwich in general was full of oil, grease, onions with scarce pieces of meat. After eating the rolls both me and my wife had serious stomach issues. On the plus side they cleaned out my stomach really good. Â Either the chicken was old, not cooked properly or a combo of both! done with this joint!! their prices are going up and quality going down! had a similar experience with a kabob roll a few week earlier though not this bad.
Review Source:This Paki restaurant is almost as good as Sabri on Devon. Probably depending on what you order. I was at Khan's yesterday for a late lunch with a friend. We are both Mexican females so we felt right at home seeing the decor was similar to Mexican restaurants with all the families and locals eating. I enjoyed it and I will be back.
We ordered the frontier chicken rice and aloo gobi. Frontier chicken was good, the aloo gobi was more wet than I like, but it was tasty. To finish our meal we had the yummy kashmiri tea. It's like having a light dessert. Â I almost forgot to mention, the parathas are delicious..
My only wish is they would be lighter on the salt and oil. But once in awhile is ok I guess. I can't wait to try more menu items.
5 stars for the food, -1 star for the restaurant ambiance (although I usually get carryout from here). Â I've been getting food here ever since a Pakistani friend of mine brought me here. Â I've had the tandoori chicken, chana masala and chicken tikka masala and they're all quite good
Review Source:Almost every single day for the past decade (plus) that I've been driving and/or a passenger in Rogers Park, I drive by Khan's BBQ. Honestly, how can you miss it? It's smack dab on the corner of Western and Devon, in the heart of Little India.
What really brought me in, though, was the marquee. Ever since they got that sweet colorful sign, I just knew I had to eat there. Plus, a good friend and frequenter of Khan BBQ told me that the food was good. But I was hesitant because my friend's last name is, you guessed it, KHAN (no relation, or so he says).
But really, the place is pretty big. I can imagine that it gets busy at night, particularly (and not be stereotypical or anything) after taxi shifts are over. I mean, I drive by late night often enough to see the place packed. That means one of two things: the owners have a lot of friends OR the food is legit.
On a weekday afternoon, I finally caved into that flashy sign. The place was empty. Literally three people in there. But I supposed it's because it was early. Regardless, I was hungry, and ordered standard dishes: biryani, frontier chicken, and naan. It was...aight. I mean, it wasn't ballerific or anything. It was just good.
The guy that was serving us was inattentive...except when he dropped the bill off. It was then that he started stereotyping me about my culture, telling me that he knew how to speak my language (I speak English and Spanish, btw). He showed me a Post-It with a story on it...and tried to translate it into my language. It was a token of remembrance that I chose to forgo.
Will I be drawn back to the marquee sign? Maybe...not. We'll see.
One of our favorites! Â We go back often, and the wait staff is lovely and accommodating. Â You HAVE to try the Frontier Beef Roll-omg. Â And the Chapli Kebab- I would leave my husband if he tried to take more than his half! Â Tandoori Chicken is a little pedestrian for me, but they have the best I've tasted. They don't open until 2:00 on Friday afternoon because it's their day of worship.
Review Source:One of the best frontier chicken dishes available in this part of the city. Servings are large but the place can be crowded on weekends.
This place is also found in the new app on the Android market that provides data about the popular destinations with in this special (2 mile) stretch of Devon Avenue. It has info on the restaurants, shops, public access system, libraries etc on Devon Avenue. It is called "Devon Guide" and is now available for free on Google Play.

Okay, I do not recommend bringing your date here. Ambiance consists of neon colored walls, white floors and chandeliers highlighing the mismatched plates.
I ordered the tandoori fish, but they were out. Judging from the other reviews, that happens a lot.
Now, that being said, the chicken roti and tandoori chicken were extremely tasty and tender
I'd never had Kashmiri tea before. Think masala tea, but light on the tea, heavy on the milk or cream, with light spices, rosewater and ground up almonds and pistachios. Thick, chunky and not at all lo-cal, it is nonetheless extremely yummy.
I wasn't very impressed with the frontier beef or chicken with rice. The rice wasn't quite right.
$11 gets you a really large helping. But if you want huge amounts of food for a good price, go to Ghareeb Nawaz. The food is MUCH better.
My husband and I were craving seekh kabab and naan, we are fairly new to the area so thought to give Khan BBQ a try.
There is a large sitting area, we went around 3:30pm on a Saturday so it wasn't too busy. We ordered the chicken kabab, chicken makhani, and garlic and till naan. The kabab were juicy and freshly made, LOVED THEM! My husband wasnt a fan of the chicken makhani, although I thought it was decent. If we go next time, I would probably try something else. And the naan, OMG, perfection!
We had a good experience, food was great, service was good and staff was friendly, price wise I thought it was a bit pricey compared to other highly busy and well known restaurants.
My only downfall is the restaurant was a bit cold, and the washroom was freezing!! But that probably wont stop me from going there again. As long as those kabab's taste just as good :)
I recommend the chicken boti grilled in the charcoal-tandoor. Â The chicken is boneless, skinless chicken thigh pieces, marinated, and grilled. Â Get it with some naan or paratha, a veg, and you're good to go. Â The raita served at the table is a bit too runny, but tasty nonetheless. Â It pretty much goes well with everything on the menu. Â The bhindi (okra) is excellent. Â Spoon it over rice or scoop it up with naan; it's pure comfort food. Â If you're going to order the broast chicken, get it spicy. Â You really can't go wrong with crispy, spicy fried chicken. Â
The frontier chicken rice was ok, but probably won't order again. Â I'd rather stick to tandoor-cooked meats + plain rice or bread. Â For a non-chicken, non-meat option, the tandoori fish is pretty good. Â It's well-seasoned, but not too spicy. Â My favorite breads are the plain naan and aloo (potato) paratha. Â The naan is cooked in the tandoor, giving it a nice flavor. Â The aloo paratha is carb heaven. Â The garlic naan is fine, but the garlic cooked in the tandoor is too crispy. Â And the onions in the onion naan are a bit much, not really necessary. Â Overall, this is the go-to place for tandoor-grilled meats and tandoor naan.
It used to be one of my go-to places for indian food in the devon area. their kebab was soooo good. the naan was so fresh, everything tasted so authentic.
but during one recent visit, not too sure if it was the dishes we ordered, or just their off-night, the naan was still really good, but the food just tasted kinda...blah...it felt like it's missing something, not too sure what, but it doesn't taste as "real" as it used to be. hmm...
Went here last year with a group of friends, and I have to say I don't remember much. Â Why? Â FOOD COMA. Â Best food coma ever! Â Seriously, the four of us each ordered a different dish (one got a biryani because we thought ahead) and all four of us rolled home with left overs and a deep appreciation for these guys' ability to cook meat. Â I don't remember the exact dishes (there was definitely a chicken kabob involved somewhere, and the aforementioned biryani) but I remember being stuffed, happy, and carting a lot of left overs home.
Definitely need to go back!
Wow, I cannot believe some of the reviews of this place. This is one of the most tastiest Indo-Pak restaurants I have ever been to! The Chicken Biryani and the Chicken Boti and delicious. So is the Sag Ghost (I am probably spelling that wrong.) They use goat instead of lamb, which is not as gamey.
The downside is the service is not the best, so get it to go. Other than that, this is a much cheaper alternative to some places on Devon and the food is better.
One note, I have never tried any lunch platters or buffets. Instead, just try the dishes. Oh and I love the Frontier Chicken and the various meat rolls.
Also, my vegetarian friend was not impressed with the chickpea dish, but the lentil dishes were good. So maybe not the best for any non-meat eating friends.
I've been here twice with some friends and I really love the food! I ordered the Chicken Tikki Masala, which is supposed to be spicy, but it wasn't really that spicy when I ordered it, so I would recommend asking for extra spice if you like it hot! I've also tried to Aloo Palak, which is a vegetarian curry with spinach and potatoes. This curry is much milder, but I still loved it! For bread, I ordered a regular naan and a regular paratha (this ones a little greasy). I've also tried a little bit of my friend's dishes including the Palak Gosht (Goat Curry that's really spicy) and the Tandoori Chicken (Indian style bbq chicken), which were both really good. I would recommend them all.
I only give this place a 4 out of 5 because each time I was there to eat, the server gave us a hard time about paying with credit cards. We had a group of people and wanted to separate the tab, but they were pretty upset when we wanted to pay separately with credit cards. He asked us if we could only use 2 credit cards and combine our orders together. So I would suggest bringing cash to this restaurant so you don't have any issues.
I shall return!
I shall return to try more charred bits of flesh, Â more paratha, Â more daal and spinach, Â more mystery fish cooked in a way that defies conventional western logic, Â yes I shall return.
The chicken bhoti is as good as everyone says, Â mostly moist do to the fact they are using thighs instead of breasteses. Â Seems you can fool many mericans this way, Â just call it chicken, Â they will assume chickens are only breasts in restaurants, Â then they can't believe how moist they are. Â Thighs bitches! Â Beyond the moisture, Â the spice rub is spot on, Â with a salty, crispy charred edge and a spicy green chile rub under some of the skin, Â it is pure genius.
Tandoori fish, Â some mystery fish cut cross wise so it includes the spine and bones which in this very hot heavily seasoned preparation adds that extra richness a fish needs to stand up and be counted. Â We were all really impressed with this fish. Â Some pieces were a touch dry, Â but that is only because of the inconsistency in butchering, Â most of the fish was amazing.
Tandoori chicken was better than most on the Devon strip, Â well at least the ones I have tried have ranged from sawdust to stringy. Â Once again, Â Khan keeps that pollo moist amigo. Â With that bright red spice rub Khans looks more natural than the aforementioned baccalao style preparations on the strip.
There was a ground beef skewer, Â looked like kibbeh without the nuts, Â my 7 year old picked the green bits of chile out of his and said it is very good, Â but his fingers were burning.
Service is what one would expect from any bbq place, Â a guy walks up, Â you order your food and poof it appears in a timely fashion.
So when I return I will try three new things my only question is, Â What is the little red plastic pitcher next to the toilet for?
We trekked over to Khan's from Evanston because of the Free Time Out Chicago Student Guide that we had picked up. It said that it was close, cheap and fantastic.
While it was close enough, it was more than the "less than $6 a person" that Time-Out Chicago boasted, and it was more so the "around $11 a person and you're not entirely too satisfied".
The food was good, but did not blow my socks off, and while it was a nice airy restaurant with an open grill (which was nice to watch) the service was slow, and the waiter was SUPER pushy. He kept on trying to make my party of three order more and more food, and even had the audacity to tell us what we were getting. "Oh, you'll get the Tandoori Chicken, you can have the Chicken Boti, and then you will have the etc..."
Beyond that, our waiter only addressed my fiance (the only male at our party) and water refills, and a waiter to ask for our bill were basically non-existent.
Come on Devon.
You kind of made me never want to return.
A group of 10 of us went here on Saturday night. Imagining that this place was BYOB (not sure where I got that idea from, but that's beside the point) I plopped a bottle of wine on the table and my boyfriend cracked open a beer. A waiter came over, whispered something to the guy at the head of the table, and we figured that it was not okay that we brought our own. No big deal, I put away the bottle of wine and my boyfriend quickly finished his beer on the down low.
We were then treated to the most comically awful service. Like it was blatantly on purpose bad. Our group found it very entertaining waiting to see what disrespect we would next be subjected to. I won't bother going through the list, but it was seriously ridiculous and hilarious. I guess the beer and wine offended them or something. Whoops.
Anyway, the food was basically the same as the other good places on the block.
Hi. How are you all tonight? I just ate at my grandma's vagina. Oh, I'm sorry I meant to say Khan's BBQ. Yes, I mistook it for my grandma's vagina b/c while I was eating one of the grumpy old men stood a few feet away from me and power washed the "party" room with Glade Rose Scent Spray that reminded me of my grandma's vagina or general house smell. He did this until I could not see him anymore because the amount of Glade covered the air with a foamy mist. Also he got angry at us because we would not order his suggestions and told us to come back with empty stomachs because we didn't order enough food. But we had leftovers enough for two people so clearly he was right. Just like grandma.
The food was good though.
Goodbye.
I came here with (gasp) 9 other friends, and we were seating without any trouble. But then again, there weren't many people in the restaurant. There was a language barrier between the waiter and our entire group, and the whole time we were there, we were just wishing we brought our Indian friend with us. But we didn't. So there was a bit of a struggle in ordering. It probably took about 10 minutes. As my friend was ordering his dish, the waiter kept suggesting others (or so we think), so he finally just changed his order to what the waiter kept suggesting. Good thing for my friend, the order was delicious! Anyways, we finally finished our order, and the food came.
I'd say it was a-ok. My chana masala was delicious, but I've had better. The nan just didn't taste like nan and left me very unsatisfied, and I hate to say this because I love nan. They also had such a great selection, and we even ordered a good majority of them. But it was a consensus among our group that the nan just wasn't up to our standards. Also, during our language barrier ordering of food, I guess the waiter forgot to take down an order and so my friend was left with no dish for a while.
I think it's a little pricier than some restaurants on Devon, but it's not as pricey as others. It's a huge space and very well known for its meat. But I think next time, I'm just going to settle for that tiny little to go store with cheap cheap prices and minimal talking.
This is a kebab shop first and foremost. Â The meats are cooked over coals so they are all juicy and charred. Â It says something when a kebab is prepared so well that it's still moist after being reheated in the microwave, and that was definitely the case at Khan's. Â The chicken boti lives up to the hype and the seekh kebab which is similar to middle eastern kofte has plenty of onion and is so so juicy.
Beyond the kebabs they offer a pretty nice selection of breads. Â Garlic nan, onion roti, paratha it was all good. Â The nan has plenty of char and the roti is nice and stretchy. Â The paratha was our favorite, it has a unique texture and is made with plenty of butter.
Finally the vegetable dishes are an important part of the inevitable protein overload. Â The bhindi (okra) and the aloo palak (potatoes and spinach) were both competently prepared. Â Of course they were no where near as good the kebabs, but they weren't too greasy and had enough spice to carry their sauces without overpowering the vegetables. Â It'd be amazing if khan's teamed up with an Indian kitchen to specialize in kebabs and veggies, but who can be so lucky.
Great kebabs, great value. Â Definitely worth a trip.
It's true--the chicken boti is the juciest poultry that's ever touched my tongue, drizzled with a spicy green sauce and charred to perfection. The sheekh kebabs were flavorful beyond belief. We also had the palak ghosht (spinach & goat) and the palak daal (spinach & lentils) which were both nicely spiced, along with the aloo gobi (potato & cauliflower). The garlic naan, soft & stretchy, made for an ideal accompaniment to the vegetarian dishes.
Service was attentive and helpful. Portions were generous. The dining room decor was, to say the least, a bit spartan, and the lighting rather too bright, but if it were just about the food I'd give this place five stars.
This is a mini review... I was in a rush and wanted to grab something a little different. I decided to try the Frontier Chicken Rice. I love the boneless chicken dishes that have emerged in the past decade or so at Desi restaurants on Devon. Examples of these are Frontier Chicken and Chicken 65. When I saw this rice combo, I ordered one for carry out. The Latino cook grabbed a huge plate of precooked white rice and threw it on the griddle. Then he grabbed a large portion of Frontier Chicken and thew it on the pile. He then mixed it with wooden spoons over the heat for a minute or two, and deposited it into a takeout box. and gave me 4 containers of yogurt chutney.
I took it home and had a good size bow of the concoction. The bad: Cheap non-Basmati rice. The good: The combination is tasty, but not overly spicy or hot. It is a good dish for someone who is looking for a Desi taste but cannot handle straight Frontier Chicken or Ghareeb Nawaz spiced Biryani. I love the more intense stuff, but this has a place for those who cannot handle extreme spice.
Upgrade to Basmati rice, and you may get another star. However, the claim to fame is the grilled meats, and i will try those in a few weeks when I return to Chicago.
So here's the thing... I'm a complete and total foodie... Trust me my hips can attest to that.. I love food... ANY AND ALL FOOD... But I'm sorta ashamed to say.. I'm really not  that big a fan of Indian food... Like how can I claim to be a foodie when I'm not a fan of a WHOLE genre of food.
Also my dislike of Indian food is really a whole lotta hooey since I live like 2.3 seconds away from Devon Avenue... I know my Apt. Location is totally wasted on me...LOL
BUt thank goodness I hobbled my tail on over to Khan BBQ!!! Holy deliciousness BATMAN... Â Look you can try anything there and its pretty darn good.. but if your looking for pure kick-assery in your meal ORDER THE CHICKEN BOTI!!!
Spicy, juicy, charred to an inch of fabulousness... Really I could go on and on.. but enough of the other yelpers have made the point... This stuff is delish.. Has made me appreciate my apartment being 2 seconds away from Devon, and quite possibly has made me an Indian food lover!! Â Now my officially foodie status is certified! lol
I live about 5 min walking distance from this place and drive past it all the time, but never ate there. A friend who is Afghan and has really good taste in  just about everything he does recommended it. He said the guy that owns it, use to cook a Blue Ribbon cafe on Ridge ave. back in the day. I remember some of the food we had there, after drunken nights of partying and they were pretty damn good!
We stopped in yesterday around 8pm, right about the time it started to get the weekend diners. We were seated by a cool, little old fella with a baseball cap that had a the brim flipped up. He took our order pretty quick and explained pretty fast, what some of the dishes were. It's hard for many people to understand what Indian people say but I have worked with quite and few and kinda got use to it. I am also married to a Puerto Rican and everyone knows that you have to listen carefully when they speak or you will miss a whole bunch...ha. Love you negra.
We ordered the Frontier Chicken Rice, Frontier beef, and a side of Lentil and spinach (I forgot the name). My wife is not good with spicy food so we ordered it medium. The frontier beef definitely has to be spicy if not, it will not taste as good. I recommend you order anything Indian "spicy". The lentils and spinach, scooped up with the bread was delicious. The rice had good seperation and the chicken was thender. The beef was OK.
I never pay to much attention to the service in restaurants that are not "American" in tradition. Different countries have different customs and we just have to deal with it. As long as the food is good, I am OK.
It was about $30 including 2 sodas. You will have a big doggie bag to take home plus be completely stuffed when you walk out.
Well worth it ,perfect for large groups and great for people watching. My wife was surprised to see a Indian pimp walk in with white fur coat, top hat and jewelry all over.....lol. I am not making that up at all. he has been around since I was a kid.
This place has been on my radar for some time, but always seems to get forgotten when I come up to Devon. Today, my dining companion and I made a special trip to Khan's for lunch.
Located on the corner of Devon and Western, Khan's lies in the heart of the Devon strip. It's much larger inside than I imagined, with two big rooms full of tables. They're not much for ambiance, but then, neither am I. The restaurant is sparsely decorated, save for the bright maroon curtains that separated the two rooms, and even though it was mid-afternoon when we went, it was rather dim.
The menu is small and specializes in grilled meats. We decided to try the chicken boti from the grilled meat section, the gohst daal from the goat section, daal palak for a vegetable, and a couple naan to round out the meal. Â
Food arrived 15-20 minutes later, as it was finished in the kitchen. The chicken boti came out first, accompanied by coriander chutney and a plate of raw cucumbers, lettuce, and onions. I could have eaten this dish all afternoon. The chicken was juicy, flavorful and had great char flavor. I had ordered mine spicy, so it was slightly disappointing that (IMHO) it wasn't all that spicy. Â (A caveat: Â my boyfriend believes that I have permanently burned off my tastebuds and "spicy" for me is unbelievably-mouth-burning-hot for other people.) This dish was probably my favorite of the afternoon and I would consider making special trips to Devon just for this.
The naan and the daal palak came next, followed closely by the goat and lentil dish. The daal palak (spinach and lentils) was a very large portion and packed moderate heat. It was really nice with the rest of the meal. The goat and lentils were creamy and flavorful, though for $9, there wasn't all that much meat. The naans were huge and fresh; I ordered a regular naan but ended up enjoying my boyfriend's garlic naan more.
Service was a little slow, but on a relaxing afternoon, this was no problem. Our server brought us out a little fennel for after our meal, and we left the restaurant full and happy. I will definitely return.
Did you know that Khan BBQ received Maxim Magazine 2008 award for tastiest Middle Eastern BBQ?  Since it's Maxim, you can't take the award seriously.  I don't even trust Zagat anymore.  But, it's kinda hard to believe it deserves to win at a national level.  I think it's even questionable in the city of Chicago.  Just makes me wonder about  the selection process. Â
Anyway, I tried their tandori catfish which was spiced well, but too many
pieces of bone to enjoy. Â The chicken boti dish was juicy, and had just the right amount of heat to it. Â I give the dish 3.5 stars. Â According to Michael Gebert (food reviewer), "meat explodes in your mouth like a Bollywood dance number in psychedelic technicolor." Â I enjoyed the dish enough to consider going back, but I'm not too sure I can concur with that description. Â But in my mind, it just won't be as satisfying because it would almost be the equivalent to going to a Milli Vanilli reunion concert.
Okay I'm still a bit bitter about the award, because it's a bit of a slap in the face to tell me this is the best Chicago can get for BBQ. Â It almost felt like the time when Iliza was announced the winner of Last Comic Standing. Â
But, did I mention Maxim also awarded Chicago as the tastiest city. Â Maybe, Maxim is right for once. Â But, I think NYC and LA beg to differ.
Dayum there are some cuties found in here on occasion. Â If you dig Indo-pak ladies, you can find plenty. Â Most I'd say are Muslim and are usually accompanied by family or (like a) den mother. Â Mind your eyes, boys. Â First look is ok, the second is sin!
I'm not sure why, but, Muslims do a great job cooking meats.  Specifically lamb, chicken and beef, but I'd say  it depends more on the skill of that Muslim chef and probably lamb and chicken are best.  (In my experience I've had the opportunity of tasting some fantastic Indian meals prepared by Muslim chefs, in most cases the meals were excellent. Muslim Chinese food is a must as well!)  If you stop in, try the tandoori chicken.  Succulent, not dry and a perfect balance of flavor and juiciness.  I also opt for any of the lamb dishes with naan.  I don't go for veg options though they are available.
Before you leave here, do yourself one favor and try the "Kashmiri tea" Â Takes about fifteen minutes to prepare. Â Best with two teaspoons of sugar, if you add any more then that it only gets better, like a tasty dessert. Â Think of a milky tea flavored with just a touch of rose, for color and taste.
Service: If you speak the language seems to be better, but still isn't. Â I don't think they care much about their tip, its expected but they don't work hard for it.
(Pinaki S Â "But just like in India, don't expect quality service." - I've had quality service in India. Â Just like herethere is a difference between restaurants that are expensive sit downs versus cheap diner type places. Â Khan's is a cheap diner type of place, in India it would be considered a "hotel" = diner / fast food. )
Picture hot spicy meat, piping hot flat breads, spinach/yogurt side and an salad garnish with plenty of onions.
Rapture.
I had a mango/yogurt drink, sweet, but it soothed the palate just right.
The clientele was surprisingly diverse. Besides the ethnic groups this place caters to, there were couples on dates, Eastern Europeaners, and a smattering of people from all over Asia.
Although we got our drinks and food reasonably promptly, we had to track down our server for the check.
Thanks to Yelper Pinaki S. for getting me to try this place.
I'm as Indian as apple pie and pierogies, so take this review with a grain of salt: this place kicks ass.
People watching is excellent, as you get a lot of taxi drivers (just see the string of cabs outside the place), random brown people and local students.
Grilled meats tender and spicy. The underrated non meat dishes have a healthy kick.
But just like in India, don't expect quality service.
Price is a big factor for me, and this is my favorite of the cheap Devon ave. Indian/Pakistani spots. There are no frills here, but the food is spicey and amazing. See this thread on the LTH forum for photos and lengthy descriptions:
<a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lthforum.com%2Fbb%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ft%3D4004&s=6a63d8beb3b7beb716a2f0e58a1ec5cc799473240ba95ea70565f58cc6a3a1e8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.lthforum.com/…</a>
You must have the chicken boti and naan. The rest is up to you, just experiment!
On my last trip here we had a pretty big group, about 10 of us, half Brazilian and half white. We definitely drew stares from the Indian clientele. In the middle of the meal it started pouring, at which point rain started dripping through the eves and onto the window sill, splattering the table. We used our water glasses to catch the drips, and had a good laugh. It's all about the food folks, and the experience just adds to the fun.
Asalaam Alaikum,
1. This place is zabiha halal, which is a blessing for all Muslims.
2. The tandoori chicken and other bbq/grill delicacies are some of the best available in Chicago. A full tandoori chicken is enough for food for once person for three days!
3. The place is cheap.
4. And my favorite is that there is a prayer room in the basement with rugs available! Last week, I dropped in around 9 p.m., ordered my food to go, went to the basement and made wudu (ritual washing), prayed, and then went upstairs to get my food!
I would give this place a five but, I have not been to Pakistan.. This is the best Pakistani food I have ever had.. The place is really really tasty, with food thats not spiced for tourists..
Coming from New York, I am here in Rosemont on business.. I rented a car and drove up Devon Ave..
The last time i was in the area, I was going on someone's recommendation.. This time, I drove around and went into the place that was the most crowded..
I started with the Seekh Kabob.. Ground spiced beef was formed around this 6 foot long sword looking Kabob. It was place in a coal burning fire and it came out smoky, juicy, and wonderful.. Served with an onion naan that was fantastic..
I also had the chicken Briyani.. This was the best chicken briyani I have ever had.. Multi colored rice.. With deep oranges, light yellows, and white basmati mixed with chicken on the bone, Â cardamom, cloves, and tons of curry leaves.. Its so rare unfortunately to see real curry leaves in Indian or Pakistani cooking these days.. This is the real deal.. Â Again a wonderful heat to it..
Had all of this with a Milk Lassi for around 20 bucks.. Can't wait to  go back here.. Better then anything I have had in Manhattan or Queens of that matter..  I asked the waiter on my way out what to get next time and he told me to go with the chicken tandori.. He said it was the best item on the menu. I dont see how it can be better then that seekh kebob..
The first I went to Khan's right after they reopened (the original Khan's burned down), my dinner companion and I were completely ignored. We sat for 20 minutes without acknowledgment from the waitstaff. So we left.
A year later we finally went back. Armed with the conviction that this time we would be served, we marched up and were promptly seated, brought water, onions, cucumbers and yogurt sauce. Moments later the server returned to take our order.
Khan's has a small, simple menu featuring chicken, goat, bread, and a few vegetable dishes. The BBQ comes from the Tandoor oven, which they use to cook skewers of Tandoori chicken, Chicken Boti, and a few other wonderful meats - all halal. Â
My dinner companion and I frequently over-order when we go out. In his case it makes sense - he's a marathoner and runs 20 miles a day. Me, I'm more sedentary. Exercise is a quick workout at the gym. So when we dine out, we always order more than we can eat. Khan's was no exception. We loved the Boti and Tandoori chicken, and the daal and chana masala we ordered were also delicious. We made quick work of the vegetable dishes but couldn't get through the chicken. I got to take home the leftovers.
All told we spent $28, plus tip. It was a good meal.
